team tied the score, making it TO 2 In
this inning T. eneh made a two-hagger
and MinshaD single. bgth being ad-
vaneed by Tobias Here the outsiders
went up in the air and let in the only
two men Not until the seventh did the
visitors score again pounding the ball
numerically for two and three i,ase
hits. making three more little marks on
the card They repeated it in the eighth
and in the ninth got one more Some
Of onr men were unable in the last three
innings TO catch the simplest little flies.
Taking 1t all through it was a very
good game, devoid of wrangling and
swearing, and many good plays were
made on both sides The visitors had
twelve men die on bases and we had
! only one PAIL and Chandler did the
battery work for Richland Center while

at this season of the year the various

Chippewa Independent gives word of
advice that is worthy Of consideration.
There is nothing more important to
the people OF the state, to the present
and future population. Upon wise
selection of the teachers Of the children
depends the prosperity and perpetuity
of the commonwealth. Slate makers
and politicians are for 9 Try or year, the
teachers are for all t.iae. The news
papers and general public pay far more
attention to the choosing of candidates
for the petty political offices than to the
election of superintendent, principals
ard other teachers. Yet the former are
aoG 10 be compared in point % lasting
influence with the latter.
Ia the selection of teachers character
and capacity are first 10 be considered.
The personality Of q teacher is OF much
value. 1t is not so much what man
knows that counts as the man behind
the knowledge The poverty pea
should not weigh. Better pension a
poor teacher outright than employ him
simply because he is poor and have the
entire school population suffer there
for Kinfolk ought not to be con-
sidered. OF course sectarianism and
partisanship ought to be kept out Of
public schools The politics or church
preferences of ths teacher does not 1cct
the ability to teach
The standard Of Wisconsin teachers is
being gradually raised II requires
nj 3ee to make successful teacher in
this state than in former years Teach
ing is no longer altogether the stepping
stone profession. 1t will be happy
day for the schools and the children
when this standard is raised still higher
and when professional training is de-
manded Of every school teacher in the
