AT the recent meeting of the Wis
consin State Teachers association in
Milwaukee resolutions were passed
indorsing the operations of the grad
ed school law and the proposed
changes in the mode Of selecting
state superintendent of public in
struction, whereby that official will
I be voted for at the spring election
at the same time that judges are
elected, ADD will hold Office for term
of four years, beginning the 1st of
July in the year following the cleo
ton. The change is proposed for the
purpose of taking the schools out of
politics by removing the election of a
state superintendent from a heated
campaign to the cooler atmosphere
of the spring election, when less par
tisanship is displayed. The amend
ment will come before the people at
the election next fall for ratification.
| The Teachers association takes the
ground that the passage of the amend
ment is of the most vital Importance
to the educational interests of the
state.

which was repeatedly encored. The
company seemed to enjoy all. Re
freshments were served and all went
away pleased with the entertainment
which they received. Comrade Ivey's

to relieve the pain and loneliness of
sick and wounded soldiers during the
