Romeo and Juliet.

Shakespeare genuine was at it's
best in it's creation of the marvellous
characters in this play. How skill
full is the contrast of the nurses sub
tie humor-a masterpiece of comic
Observation-Disclosures Mercutio's
scoffing cynicism, creation of high
comedy, with the fragrant innocence
of Juliet and the romantic enthusi-
asm of her lover, Romeo. All the
very best features of dramatic COM
position and poetry are to be found
in Romeo and Juliet. The interest
is absorbing, the pathos most deeply
touching, while the humorous ele-
ment, never too prominent, affords
that contrast so essential to a really
good drama. The character of Friar
Laurence is we'll worth study, so is
that of Lady Capulet, Paris, mirth
provoking Peter, the starving
Apothecary, the fiery Tybalt, old
Capulet, noble Benvolio and the les
ser characters. This beautiful play
must always highly interest those
who are not dead to the noblest pas
sions of our nature or blind to the
greatest beauties poetry can create.
Simvelle's production carries all
new scenery complete, properties
and electric effects and will be given
in it's entirety at Reeds opera house

ROCKS FOR LIBRARY PURPOSES.

A very good collection of books for
library purposes is now found in every
school. Town clerks would be greatly
assisted in selecting books for these
libraries if the teachers and members
of the board will, from the list of
books suggest those that are accept
able and hand the list to the town
clerk previous to the purchase of books
for the town.
The 1udicious selection and use of
these books constitute an important
factor in the education of the child
rem.
Platteville, for several years, has
maintained Reading Room, and has
thoroughly equipped and furnished it,
and it's liberal patronage speaks we'll
for the future of those who frequent
it's rooms. Lancaster has recently
established free library of several
thousand volumes, and it's opening
marks an era in education and culture
of her citizens. These and other evil
dences of growth of interest in the
work of education, tend to prove ad-
vancement along the lines of culture,
and are very encouraging to all in
terested therein.
THE PRESENT OUTLOOK.
There is much that is encouraging
in the present condition of the educa-
tional interests of the county. A very
decided condition exists in favor of an
improved condition of the schools, and
readiness to listen to suggestions as
to the best means to reach that end.
This is as it should be.
Our public schools share in the gen.
eral prosperity, and liberal appropria-.
lions should be made to meet all rea-
sonable demands. Every child is en-
titled to liberal and practical educa-
ton and training and no greater in
Justice can be done than to deprive
him of this inherent right.
KEEP UP THE HIGH STANDARD NOW AT
TANNED.
In closing this report l wish to ex-
press in the most cordial manner my
gratitude to this honorable board for
this generous support, and to the pa
irons and officers of the schools, to the
teachers and pupils, my appreciation
of the many kindnesses shown. Those
evidences of interest in school matters
are encouraging and convince me that
the work of education will not lam
guish, but that the coming year will be
one of advancement, and that the pub
lie schools will receive that generous
support previously accorded them and
that our county may retain her right
full position in the front rank in the
cause of education. G. FL. NYE,
County Superintendent.

County Superintendent Report.

To the Hon. Board of Supervisors,
Grant Co., Wis.-Gentlemen:-I have
the honor of submitting for your in
spection and consideration the follow
ing report based upon the statistics
contained in the official report of the
several town, village and city clerks for
the school year ending June 30, 1902,
together with other facts relating to
the educational interests of the county
which may claim your attention.
The following table shows the school
population of the county by towns,
villages and cities, and the enumera-
ton is the basis upon which the distri.

THE PURCHASE OF NEEDED SUPPLIES.

THE PURCHASE OF NEEDED SUPPLIES.
Some mistakes have occurred in the
purchase OF charts and maps which
have not been approved by state or
county superintendent and which were
not needed, neither were they useful in
the school The law is plain and posi-
tive on the subject of purchasing school
supplies and it is intended to protect
the schools from being imposed upon
by INSCRIPTIONS agents. Every school
should have a good reading chart and
that may be procured of any response
BILE supply house for two-thirds of the
price asked by travelling agent. No
other chart is needed in the district
school and none should be bought for
no other chart has been approved. A
reasonable supply of good apparatus
should be furnished to every school
since the best results cannot be Sc
cured without them.
POOR ECONOMY is WORST ExTRAvAGANCE.
Economy in all things is commend
able but that excessive economy which
wirhholds from the children the
appliances necessary to illustrate and
develope the work OF the school is the
worst extravaganza. No money is bet
| ter invested for children than that
which is spent in providing them with
comfortable school rooms, good books,
suitable apparatus, capable, faithful
| teachers, and opportunity and en-
couragement to use these advantages
so as to secure practical common
| sense education, which will fit them to
| discharge properly and comfortably
| the active duties of life
Neither skill nor energy On the part
| of the teacher can compensate for lack
of proper appliances, and it should be
! remembered that not all who engage
! in teaching are skillful or energetic.

It Is a Fact.

That Tom Orion of Lancaster and
Lou Ruka of Boscobel were up north
the greater part of last week and
never saw a deer.
That the two pretty new resi-
dences being built by Eugene Wood
house and Walter Webb in the Sec
ond ward are mere speculative ven

least that is what these two fellows
say.

The records of the year show many
changes for the better, along the line
of school work, yet in many districts
there is need of better equipment in
the way of school apparatus. Maps
for teaching geography and history,
especially of the United States, should
be in every school.
No other article of school apparatus
is so essential as an ample surface of
good blackboard, and in school which
lacks this, no child receives the full
benefit of his school work. It should
be noted, however, that want of these
essentials is the exception and not the
rule. A large majority of the schools
are we'll equipped and efficient work is
done by both teachers and pupils.
Each year shows Improvement in
school buildings and accommodations,
and several school buildings of modern
style of architecture are in process OF
erection.
SCHOOLS OF THE COUNTY.
Grant county is divided for school
purposes into 900 districts, embracing
80 towns, s incorporated villages and
cities.
There are II free high schools, nine
having 4-years' course and | having a
3-yearS' course.
Graduates from the high schools at
Lancaster and Boscobel are accredited
by the University at Madison for all
courses except the Ancient Classical.
Graduates from Fennimore are accred-
tied for the English and Scientific
courses The other high schools hav-
ing a 4-years' course are Bloomington,
Cassville, Cuba City, Montfort, Platte
vile and Potosi. These last named
schools are rapidly improving in their
work and equipment and will soon be
accredited by the University. Hazel
Green, Mt. Hope and Muscoda will
soon adopt 4-years' courses.
There we're graduated from the high
schools this year So males and 80 fe-
males, many of whom enter at once in
to teaching without further prepare
ton. This is to be regretted as the op-
portunities for training are SO cOnven-
lent and ample that all who can should
be encouraged to take at least a partial
course in Normal school.
SCHOOLS ENTITLED TO STATE AID.
There are eight graded schools, Liv-
ingston having three departments and
AIUnOIS DtSAOJs DlAUlOh I1OA1OWsN OOA 81
town, Patch Grove, No. of Lima and
Sitter each having two departments.
By a recent law these schools receive
state aid on complying with certain re-
quirements which are only necessary
conditions which ought to exist in
every school. Livingston having three
departments receives annually $500.
Six others having two departments re-
ceive each 500. District No. 4. Lima.
declined to meet the requirements.
hence receives no state aid, yet main
tains months of school with two de-
partments.
CONSOLIDATION AND TRANSPORTATION.
There are many districts in the coun-
ty having few children of school age
where the school term is short and
wages low because the school is small
The evident remedy for this seems to
be-uniting several districts, building
a central school house, organizing a
graded school and transporting the
children to and from school.

While the democratic wranglers are
rending the air of the Senate chamber
with their denunciations of republican
policy in the Philippines, and the
House is devotipg its labors to the
regular appropriation bills, the re-
publican senators are quietly and
industriously working out the solu-
ton of the Cuban reciprocity problem.
On Friday the committee on relations
with Cuba adopted that portion of
the Teller resolution which calls for
an investigation of the amount of
Cuban sugar held by the American
Sugar Refining Co. Senators Platt,
Burnham and Teller will conduct the
investigation, which, in view of the
fact that most of the desired informa-
ton is in possession OF the war
department, will not, in the judgment
of Senator Platt, occupy but a short
period. In the meantime the COM
mittee will devote its attention to
framing straight reciprocity bill as
a substitute for the measure passed
by the House. A senator who stands
very close 10 the administration said
Saturday that ne believed a simple
bill, authorizing the President TO
negotiate a reciprocity treaty on a
basis of % per cent. reduction, would
be acceptable to a majority of the
senators. He further said that he
did not believe that the democrats in
the House would dare to vote against
such bill because of the popular
demand for relief for Cuba.

The state department has practi-
cally completed its arrangements
with Colombia, Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, and they will be submitted to
Congress Immediately, as the Presi-
dent is most anxious that something
towards the promotion of an isthmian
canal should be accomplished at this
session. President Roosevelt believes
that the people desire to see prompt
action in this matter, and that they
will criticise the controlling party if
such action is not taken. 1t is I'M
derstood that the amount to be paid
to the interested governments is the
same in both cases, namely $1,000, 900.
Should the Panama route be chosen,
the whole of this sum would be paid
to Colombia, and in the event Of the
Nicaraguan route being selected
81 900 900 would go to Costa RIGA and
81, 900, 900 to Nicaragua. While an
annual rental would be paid for
either route, the amount would be
practically nominal, and would be
more for the purpose of continuous
recognition of the sovereignty Of the
interested governments than re-
compense for the use of the land.
