There has been noisy tempest dur
ing The last week in two or three Mil
waukee teapots over the high school
foot ball championship. Over week
ago the Board of Control, of which
Prin. G.. G. Parlin is chairman, arranged
for one quarter final games in each of
the four sections of the state, between
the undefeated football teams that APP
piled for the privilege according to the
rules. None of the Milwaukee high
school teams applied as they have all
been defeated and so were not in the
championship class. These same
schools are now trying to throw the
blame upon the Board of Control for
arranging last Saturdays games, but
their protest is laughable since they
have all been defeated and especially
since the rules of the Wisconsin l. A. l.
require the board to district the state,
determine the champions in each dis
trict, pit these four winning teams
against each other and then arrange
for the final game between the two un-
defeated teams.
Last Saturday the quarter finals were
fought out with the following scores:
Eau Claire VS. Tomah, SO to o.
Merrill VS.. Rhinelander, 45 to o.
Kaukauna vs.. Marinette, IL to 8.
Fort Atkinson VS.. Janesville, IL to 0.
The foot ball teams from Eau Claire
Merrill, Kaukauna and Fort Atkinson
which won these games will meet next
Saturday to contest for the semi-iinal
honors.
Although Wausau tied both Rhine
lander and Merrill it did not care to
carry the contest out of the Wisconsin
river valley and so withdrew to let
those two schools fight it out
The following editsrial appeared in
the last issue of Intelligence, jour
nal of education Published at Chicago.
1t explains itself The book was pub
lished in the PILtT office.
"Vausau, Wis, has done a unique
thing in publishing an excellent book
of graded memory gems compiled by
its teachers under the inspiration, we
presume, of Supt. Karl Mathie, tho no
body has told US so. The first edition
of {, 1000 copies was gift from the citi-
Zens of the town to the teachers VINO at
tended the joint convention of the
Northeastern and Northwestern Wis
consin Teachers Associations in Oct
1901. This edition was soon exhausted.
The little book proved so acceptable
that the Board of Education has now
had a second edition OF 1900 printed
Of course there is a limit In this matter
of publishing which wise superintend-
ents will b. careful not TO let their
boards step over. But 1t is a good
thing for any corps of teachers 10 work
out Systematically an educational sheme
Fof most any kir.d, and if the board sees
lit To publish il. the stimulus in various
ways which it gives the teachers is worth
more than the money expense to the
board The little work. both architect
urally and professionally, is among the
handsomest pieces of booh.making of
practical kind that we have seem
