schools OF that county four years
He is graduate of the Milwaukee
Normal school where he closed bis
:abors in 1898. He organized high
school in Prentice and was principal
OF the same for three years. He
graduated from the Wisconsin Uni
versity law school in Madison in 1904.
he is therefore pretty we'll equipped
for the practice of law.
J. c. Davis was born and raised
upon farm in Richland county and
educated in the common schools of
that city. He is a graduate of the
Platteville Normal school and closed
his educational training there in 1s98
He was principal of the high school
at Sextonville for two years. He
attended the law school in connection
with the state university at Madison
and graduated therefrom in 1904.
Both young men have travelled
through northern Wisconsin looking
for permanent location and selected
Grand Rapids as the most promising
place in Wisconsin. We sincerely
hope they will not be disappointed.

BLOWED 100 FEETBY
DYNAMITE EXPLOSION

Albert Thompson, Of the town of
Richfeld, came near losing his life
while engaged in blowing out stumpS
with dynamite on Monday. The
accident happened on new piece Of
highway in that town which he had
contracted to build. A stick of
dynamite weighing two pounds had
been placed under the stump and the
fuse attached. To make the shot
more effective it is necessary to tamp
the earth very closely over the charge
and this Mr.. Thompson attempted to
do with his feet. By some unknown
means the dynamite exploded throw
ing him distance Of over 100 feet.
His right side from foot to shoulder
was badly lacerated but no bones were
broken. Some men who were work
ing near by when: the accident
happened say that for an instant the
air was full of Thompson, pieces OF
stump and Richfield soil. DR.. Milbee
attended the injured man and says
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1904-07-22

Every man in every town during the
course of lifetime has to ask favor
of an editor-not an exception to this
rule. A man may escape a doctor,
keep clear of the courts, but once in a
lifetime, at least, every man has to 90
to newspaper to ask to have certain
piece put ina death notice, a mar
riaee notice, etc.; to have a certain
piece kept out or to have his name put
in, or omitted from, some item. 1t
is therefore to your interest to treat
the editor fairly. He desires to be
fair; he would rather do the right than
wrong thing; but if you give him a
kick, the dent OF it may be found ia
the top of your own hat some day and
you will never know how it got there.
Don'ty you think you are immune; don't
think that providence has especially
favored you. Your time will come,
and when it dees come, it will be a
fine investment if you have friend
in the editors Office -Hiawatba Kan. J

ened than the Indian have found it
necessary. at times, to enforce attend
ance at the schools. Twenty-Five states
and two territories OF this progressive
nation have compulsory school laws,
and nearly every foreign civilized
country has similar laws.
The indian, like all other people, is
the product of birth and environment.
No individule or collection of indivi-
duals can rise very much above the
high water mark Of home influence.
There is no power so potent to shape
the character as home power, and OF
this the young indian children know
nothing. What the white children
are born into, the indian child must
acquire, if he is to survive on the face
of the earth.
There is but one way to make the
indian a part of the white mans
civilization, and that is through
education, which includes actual
contact. The horizon is often darkened
by superstition, and swept by storm
clouds of race prejudice and tribal
influences; but we must not forget
that our own progress was not made
in single bound. The methods of
teaching practIced with the whites
bring like results with indians. The
Hntaught child of nature is plastic
and easily influenced under the spell
lof environment. White teachers,
personal example, and school associ-
ations quickly transform the character
of the indian youth.
It is impossible to overestimate the
Importance of thorough industrial
training. 1t is at once the corner
stone of the Indians prosperity and
happiness, and the key to every door
of success open to him. It is too late
to impart it to the old warrior, but the
hour is ripe for the Inauguration Of a
new policy for the young.
Twenty Thousand Indian Scholars.
For twelve months of the year
indians schools are the home of more
than twenty two thousand children.
The scholars are taught, fed and
clothed. To watch over and care for
them in sickness and health, two

Wednesday was gala day for the
children and young people of the
Methodist Sunday school, for they
were given a grand old fashioned
picnic on the grounds east of the city
belonging to DR.. Robinson, of Chicago
and where the adventists held their
camp meeting.
John Planke's Merry-go-rOund was
at their disposal on which the children
rode to their heart content. Plenty
Of good lemonade and all kinds of
refreshments were served. 1t was a
fine outing. long to be remembered by
all that attended and participated 10
the merry making.
