a DoMEsTlcs' UNION.
Tho Hired Girls Of Dubuque Form :
Combine.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, Jan. H. There Is every
reason to believe that another union
will be added to the many already IN
Dubuque. Steps are being taken to or
ganize the Dubuque Domestic Union,
whose members will include girls en-
ployed at hotels, restaurants and pri-
yate houses. The object Is to secure
better treatment, especially to girls en-
ployed in private houses. Complaint is
made that in many instances the do
mestics are compelled to sleep In the
attic where there is no heat and as the
result they catch cold. become sick and
have to pay their own doctor bills. II
is also said that in q number OF places
no fire is permitted in the kitchen OF
dining room after supper and the do
nestle must either sit UP in the cold or
go out for an hour or two to spend the
time with friend. The complaint Is
also made that the gas Is turned out
when the kitchen work is done, thus
depriving the girls of entertaining their
friends. How much truth there is in
the statements can not be said. but 1t Is
certain that energetic steps are being
taken toward the formation OF union.

With the first break in the winter

work early in the spring, so that the
outlook for these laborers is especially
bright. Other trades, such as plaster
ers, masons and fathers, will also profit
by the promising conditions.

who is to succeed DR.. Shelton. Prof.
Witter is a friend Of the country school
and when interviewed said:
'Well, the way I look at 1t, think
my friend President Shelton made a
big mistake in his criticism OF the rural
schools. They have some shortcom-
ings, but to say they are all worthless
and do nothing to prepare the young
people for advanced school work, or
other duties of life, is a very grave
mistake. My experience in teaching
pupils in high school, both from town
and country, has been that the rural.
boy and girl have the advantage, and
when it comes later to the professions,
or business, they are very important
factors"
When asked what were the short
comings of the rural school, Prof. Wit
ter at once responded:
'sThere greatest shortcoming Is that
they do not employ genuine $50 teach
ers. And these teachers should be
engaged for the entire year OF eight
months. Do this and rectify few
minor defects and the rural school
problem is solved"
Prof. Witter will be found active In
behalf of the country school the COM
ing year and is going to push the
claims OF the rural teacher for better
treatment.
