OUR COUNTY SCHOOLS.
An Interesting Communication From Con-
rad Shearer of Somers


rad Shearer of Somers.
The opening Of another school year
presents the same vital problem that
must be considered by every clear
thinking tax payer and patron. Is the
district money to be expended in
n a'srses itch will return the proper
results?
There are perhaps but few school
officers in the districts Of Kenosha
county who do not fully realize the
responsibility resting upon them. As
direct representatives of the people in
terested in educational affairs, they
should aim to secure the best possible
service for the funds expended. Nor
does the duties of the directors end
here. If he is aware that the funds at
hand are inadequate to maintain such
an educational standard as will keep
his district in the front rank with
others IN the county it is his business
to see that the incumberance is cleared
away by raising the necessary
amount.
It is gratifying to note from the last
annual report of the superintendent
that most teachers in the county are
receiving better compensation for their
services than has heretofore been paid.
Time and experience will demonstrate
the absurdity Of expecting first class
results from poorly paid teacher. No
teacher, male or female, can afford to
devote time to non.remunerative en-
ployment; and where school is being
taught for shallow wages, look for
shallow results. The average teacher
is not engaged for a longer period than
eight or nine months each year. Sup
pose he receives $50 per month, or $3.50
per year; divide that amount by IL and
you have his actual monthly salary,
$3.50. Some may no doubt object to
this method of reckoning, but consult
members of the teaching profession
and ascertain how much they realize
| from vacation work. Very few pro-
fessional workers can drop their bust
ness for two or three months and take
up an equally lucrative position. Be-
ploy their vacation time attending in
stitutes and otherwise preparing them
selves to perform better work.
School tax should be paid more
'cheerfully than all others because its
benefits are so evident. Need we
grudge the few dollars and cents nee
essary to develop the characteristics of
perfect manhood and womanhood in
the boys and girls? In Wisconsin we
pay 20 cents per day for education; in
the United States, Is cents. Police
service calls for more pay in some sec
tons Of the country than does educa-
ton. Surely in view of these facts no
fair minded person can claim that this
channel of taxation is too severely
burdened.
The public school is the grandest of
Americas free institutions. 1t mat
tiers not whether it be the common lit
tie building of the country or the cost
| ~ edifce of the large city. The work
within the walls Of one is as important
as that of the other. Let more atten~
ton then be given to the common
school, the foundation of all higher
education. It's worth cannot be better
cited than in the old oft quotedsverse:
| 1.-THE common school oh let its:light
Shine thro our country's story;
Here lies her health her wealth, her might,
Here rests her future glory

TOO LAZY TO WORK
And Whitecappers Took Him Out
and Whipped Him Unmerci-
fully.

Nashville, Indiana, March 19.-
Twelve whitecaps took Henry
Mathis from his log cabin mi le
south of here last night and tied
him to a fence post and beat him
numerically with buggy whip.
The members of the mob wore
handkerchiefs over their faces and
battered down the door of Mathis
log cabin with rails, tied a rope
around his waist, and led him out.
After the whipping Mathis was
warned to keep quiet or the mob
would return and whip him again.
Itwas half an hour later that his
wife found him, cut the rope and
took him to the house.
The whitecaps told their victim
that they whipped him because he
was too lazy to work.
Mathis has forty ugly welts on his
back.

SETTLED BY THE LAWYER.

Representative "Hank" Smith, of
Michigan, has in town his friend Mr.
@. B. Winston, attorney for the Wa
BASH railroad, author of story about
Missouri lawyers, says the Washing
ton Post.
down in Missouri, said Mr..
Winston, the local passengers were
accustomed to carrying their saddles
with them in the passenger car, but a
new rule required that they be car
ried in the baggage car. A lusty
citizen in one of the interior counties
boarded the train on the Missouri Pa
ci6c, packing his saddle along with
him, Against his protest it was moved
to the baggage car, and when he ar
rived at his destination the baggage
man demanded so cents.
'"Get your money Of the man that
asked you to carry it, Numbered the
enraged passenger, who fastened to
consult typical Missouri lawyer.
"The lawyer was much enraged at
his clients story. 'I'm right glad
you came in, he said. For long
time have been waiting to get at this
Jay Gould combination. But the rules
of the Missouri bar association require
me to charge you fee. If accepted
less than three dollars my brethren
would disbar me-
"That seemed fair to the client,
who paid forthwith, and the two set
out for the baggage office, the lawyer
growing more wrathful as they adj
vanced.
"NTom 7Tobey {the baggageman) /,

my client?' demanded the lawyer in
rage.
because he did not pay the sc
cents charge
"'Well, here is your 80 cents, roar
ed the lawyer. Now you give my
man his saddle or we will drag you
to the courts.

cluded Mr.. Winston, "but the point
is the lawyer also got SO. go"

LONGINO'S FRIENDS SATISFIED

Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
jackson, March 23.-The United
States Senatorial campaign between
governor Longino and Senator
Money has been devoid of any I'M
usual developments during the past
week. The Longino forces have
been steadily perfecting a formida-
BILE organization, and during the
short space of time that has elapsed
since the governors formal an
nouncement his campaign has been
well-developed, and those who are
In charge of his interests express
themselves as we'll satisfied with the
outlook, and they appear confident
Of successful result.
The present week will show the
organization of Senator Honey's
forces, and it is stated that he will
at once inaugurate a spirited cam
paign, getting his fighting forces,
in line, and allowing no opportunity
to pass to strengthen his position in
the state. ~
Viewed in Its present aspect, the
senatorial fight promises to be one of
the prettiest the state has had In
many years, and the assurance that 1t
will be conducted on high plane and
be wholly devoid of personalities,
gives an added interest to the battle
No seriousness is attached to the
announcement that there is some
likelihood that Ex-senator w. V.
Sullivan will SHE his castor in the
ring, for it is universally conceded
that the Oxford politician is polite
ally dead in Mississippi, and that nc
possible combination could be made
that would enable him to carry over

The DUYALL LEVEE=-
POURING OVER EMBANK MENT

Vicksburg, Miss. March 90
Showers, accompanied by a stiff
northwest wind, have caused in
creased anxiety for the safety of the
levees in this section. A more rapid
rise of the river is also noted, the
gauge here registering SOL tonight, a
rise Of six tenths in twenty -four
hours.
Reports from Duvall Landing late
this evening state that the main
Ievee is IN no Immediate danger, but
from the end of the loop to Chotard,
Assistance of four miles, the old pro-
lection levee is in bad shape, with
the water running over at several
points.
Backwater from Steeles Bayou has
attacked the river from the rear.
This, 1t is feared, will have the effect
of further weakening the base. In
spector Dulaney has a large force of
men sackfng the top of the line from
Duyallr to, Ghotard, and strenuous
efforts are being made to withstand
the rapidly rising flood. Several
planters from Issaquena county
were in town today seeking boats
and barges to carry their live stock
out of the endangered territory.
