First Assistant Principal of the High
School Tenders Her Resignation
to the School Board.
RESIGNATION WAS A SURPRISE.
Popular Teacher Will Spend Year In
Study and Then Seek Broader Field
For Work. -RegreG Expressed.

Miss Martina Erickson, tor the pas
eight years first assistant principal of
the Kenosha High school, has sent her
resignation to the Board of Education
and will sever her connection with the
city schools at the close of the present
school year. The resignation was
sent to the Board late Friday after
noon and it will undoubtedly come as
great surprise to both the teachers
and school patrons, as Miss Erickson
had made no announcement of her in
tended action to her closest friends.
Miss Erickson was seen this after
noon and in speaking of the matter
she admitted that she had sent her
resignation to the Board and would re-
tire when her work for the year was
done. She gave no reason for the
resignation more than the fact that
she thought her retirement would SIM
plify any changes which the Board
might desire to make in the High
school teaching force. AS yet her
plans for the future are indefinite, but
she will probably spend year in study
in one of the universities and prepare
herself for wider sphere of useful
ness. For some time Miss Erickson
has been considering retiring from her
work in Kenosha and her decision was
reached only after mature considera-
ton.
The retirement of Miss Erickson
will be generally regretted among the
students of the High school and among
the patrons. For the past eight years
Miss Erickson has filled the position
of first assistant in manner entirely
satisfactory to the people of the city.
She is teacher with few equals and
under her direction the department of
mathematics in the city schools has
been brought to a rare degree of per-
lection.
Universally liked By the pupils her
department was easily the most poptl-
lar in the school and with such loyal
support from her students she secured
the best results. Miss Erickson has
always taken an active interest in the
schools and many innovations have
been made at her suggestion. Her
place will be hard one to fill and it is
probable that the Board will expert
ence trouble in securing teacher who
will take up the work laid down by
Miss Erickson.
During her connection with the city
schools Miss Erickson has gained an
enviable position among the teach
ers of Wisconsin. She has taken
active interest in the work of the state
teachers and during the last two years
she has been appointed by the State
superintendent as an instructor for in
stitutes held in Wisconsin schools.
Whatever Miss Erickson may de-
eide to do in the future her success
will be a matter of pleasure to the en-
tire school world of Kenosha.

ARBoR DAY IN THE SCHOOLS,
Entertainments Held and Trees Planted at
all the School Buildings.

Notwithstanding the cold weather
Arbor Day was generally celebrated
in the schools Of the city, and at every
building special exercises were held,
and the children stood about and
watched the planting of tree. Many
parents and friends of the schools at
tended the exercises in the different
rooms.
Interest in the celebration of the
day conferred in the ceremonies at the
Central High school, where the annual
ceremony of planting the Class tree
was carried out by the members of the
Senior and Junior classes. This is al
ways one of the prettiest ceremonies
of the year at the High school, but the
cold weather cut short the program.
The short grafton at the planting of
the tree was delivered by Ned VanIn-
gen, who, after telling of the g1ories
of the Senior class, turned over the
spade to the Juniors. The Juniors ac-
cepted the spade in an Grafton by. Roy
Donley, who was chosen to represent
the class,
There was plenty of class spirit ap-
parent at the planting of the tree, and
the young men and women who stood
about we're decorated with the colors of
the different classes.

The Truth About CerYera.

Americans will doubtless rejoice to
hear that there is no truth in the
rumor that the Spanish Admiral,
Cervera, is a starving outeast, repu-
dated and reviled by his country
men, but that, instead, he is living
happily in the suburbs of Cadiz, well
supplied with the good things of life.
There is no reason why Cervera
should be held in light esteem by
Spain because of the destruction of
his feet in the Santiago sea fight.
His dash out of the Harbor OF Santi-
ago, straight into the fire OF the su.
perior American warships, was a
desperately gallant deed. The disas-
ter which he encountered was almost
certain to bcfall him. His bearing in
the battle was admirable. He went
down to defeat with a brave dignity
II they have not already done SO,
the Spanish people will yet see the
truth concerning Admiral Cervera,
Certainly, the Admiral whose ships
are destroyed in battle does not 60
home with flying colors, Naturally
enough, the Spanish at first resented
Cervera's appreciation Of kindly
American treatment following the
Santiago fight. But they must
eventually perceive that he was de.
ieated while capably doing his full
duty and that he was n goodenougf
hghtern0t to deny either the fighting
qualities or the generous spirit OF his
victors as manifested during and af
terthe battle in which calamity over
took him.-St. Louis Republic.

Shelby county, in this State, like
other parts of Missouri, is overrun
with land buyers from other States.
The condition OF affairs in Missouri
is such that no other western State
can offer better inducements to farm
ers desiring to purchase a home.
Lands are remarkably cheap at this
time, and taxes are one-hali lower
than in Kansas, Iowa or Illinois. No
other State can offer greater induce
ments than Missouri, a State which
is practically out of debt, and the
school fund is so large that some OF
the counties draw more money out
OF the State Treasury for school pur-
poses than their entire taxes amount
to. This being the case Missourians
have every reason to be proud, not
only of their State, but also OF their
State government.-Ex.

Charles NJ. Schwab, president of the

In July. A condition of the contract re-

Schwab with an automobile that can
cover a mile in 40 seconds. If it fails
to attain this speed the order is void.
The carriage is to be fitted with an
engine of So horsepower, and in gen.
eral outline is to be a duplicate of
the one that W. X. Vanderbilt. Jr., is
now using in Paris.
The new automobile will be con-

carriage is to be made al the Daimler

is estimated that Mr.. Schwab will be
compelled to pay at least $4,000 for
the vehicle, and probably $4,000 more

From the Chicago Post,
Ella Wheeler Wilcox and Kate

who never has been sought should
have the privilege of lassoing man
if she can. Ella replies: "Fie, you

why quarrel over such trifling mat

Why Ads are Read.

An observant person remarks that
"the public likes as well to read inter-
esting matter in the advertising col.

is othingsurprising about this, since
the facts which are advertised have
a direct personal interest to the
public. The advertiser offers to the
people only such things us the people
need and about the character and
prices OF which they want informa-
ton. A persistent advertiser is
bound to win the attention of all
newspaper readers Philadelphia
