SCHOOLS FOR THE FARMERS.
Educators in the County Talk of Establish
ing School of Agriculture.

Educators in the County Talk of Establish
ing School of Agriculture.
County Superintendent George w.
Taylor is watching with a great deal
OF interest the work of the County
superintendent of Jefferson county in
his effort to establish an agricultural
school IN that county as if is possible
that IN another year an effort may be
made to establish such school in this
county. For some time the State
superintendent and leading members
of the faculty Of the State School of
Agriculture IN connection with the
State University, have been urging
the establishment of Agricultural
schools in the count ties of the state and
kenosha county is considered a very
favorable county for the location of
such school. The farmers in the
county are anxious to keep the boys on
the farm and it is thought that the
teaching of the pursuits of farm life in
district schools will greatly add to the
charm of farm life. The plan as out
lined in Jefferson county is TO have
one central school at which various
subjects demanded by the farmers in
their work will be fully taught. A
practical teaching Of the work to &C
company the theory. The plan has
met with success in one or two coun-
ties of the state aud it is expected thae
several schools will be started during
the coming year.
During the last institute at Wi1mot
special attention was given to this
lire of work and the teachers were
forced to take up the work in order
that they might teach it during the
coming year. In every school in the
county during the coming school year
something of an agricultural nature
will be taught but there is a demand
for higher work along the same lines
and to this end the sentiment in favor
of special school for the farm boys is
being fostered and augmented.
Such an institution would demand
quite an expenditure from the county
but it would be of great value in in
creasing the usefulness of the county
schools. 1t is proba Bile that the state
department will make some lib~al
provision for the support of e3r
schools, and with this aid the burden
on the individual counties would be
greatly lessened.
If Kenosha county secures one of
these schools she must be pioneer in
the field in order to secure students
from both Racine and Walworth
county. These two counties are now
looking into the matte and it is pro-
bable the officials of the county will
be working out plans for such school
before the opening of the next school
term.
It would be impossible to do any
thing with the matter until the coming
meeting of the county board and at
that time it is probable that Superin-
tendent Taylor in his annual report
will make some recommendations in
regard to the steps to be taken to Sc
cure the location of such school in
the county.

MUCH of the opposition to the ordi-
nance extending the present sewer
limits appears to arise from mistaken
idea that if the ordinance is passed it
will be obligatory on the part of the
city to at once enter upon the con-
struction of an extensive sewer system
involving the outlay of great sum of
money. This notion is all wrong.
The new ordinance does not carry an
appropriat of single cent of the
peoples money. AS far as the con-
struction of sewers is concerned the
method of procedure after the ordi-
nance is passed would be just the same
as it is now. No sewers could be built
and not cent of the taxpayers money
could be used in their construction
without the consent of the Council.
The new ordinance extending the
sewer limits will simply give property
owners chance to use what sewers
are already in without its costing the
city anything. Any short branch
sewers which might be built to con-
meet with the present mains would be
more than paid for by the frontage
assessments levied on the property
owners benefited. The city would
actually make money on the deal.

THE good roads movement does not
seem to be making much progress in
Kenosha county, and the producers
will continue to pay too much to get
their products to market until some
one of the towns or some association
builds a stretch of frst-class road for
an object lesson. After that the rest
will be easy, and it will not be difficult
to convince the various town boards
that the best investment that can be
made of the public moneys is to put

members Of the parish. Urder his

new members have been added to the
church during the passionate of Mr..

church were never in better condition.

Is This a Thinking Parrot7

NJ Pierre Hachet Souplet, in LA
Presse, relates a remarkable accom-
plishment on the part Of a parrot. He
admits that the bird was an exception
ally clever specimen, and he considers
its achievement indicates the high
water-mark of psychical possibilities
as far as parrots are concerned.
He had taught Polly to use the
words "cupboard" and ladder" and
as he climbed the latter he had sue
ceeded in inducing the bird to articu-
late the word Climb" Every day
when the bird was brought into the
laboratory a small cupboard was
opened, and Polly helped herself to
hemp seed. One day, however, in
stead of the cupboard being placed
where she could reach it, It was hauled
up near the ceiling. and the ladder
was placed among several other artl-
Giles in the corner of the room.
The question to be decided was
whether the bird, seeing that the cup
board was out of M. Hachet SCuplet's
reach, would have sufficient intelli-
gence to use words it knew in their
proper sequence. The first days ex-
pertinent was a failure. The parrot
screeched Cupboard" Cupboard, -
beating its wings and biting the bars
OF it's cage in anger, but it got no far
Their. That day the bird received mil
let, which it did not care for; the
hemp seed, which it was very fond or,
being locked up in the cupboard.
Next day Polly was in a greater
temper than ever, and after a desper-
ate effort to break through the bars
of her cage she finally caught sight Of
the cupboard near the ceiling IN
stautly came the words Ladder
climb-cupboard and Polly having
learned her lesson the cupboard was
brought down and she was rewarded
with some hemp seed.
M Hachet Souplet locked upon this
incident as a proof of the association
of ideas in the birds mind, as no one
had ever taught the parrot the phrase
she created.
