Favors More Rigid Tests.

The Milwaukee Sentinel Of Tuesday
contained the following views of Prof.
G. F. Viebahn on the subject of more
rigid tests for teachers:
1.-The state board of teachers exami-
ners, of which | am chairman, will put
new rule into force for the first time
at the examinations which will take
place in Milwaukee this week. Here
tofore we have granted five-year linn
tied certificate to teachers who passed
examination in certain elementary
branches, and unlimited certificates up
on an examination in long list Of ad-
vanced branches. Now we have de-
cided that instead of requiring an
examination in all of these advanced
branches, we will make the examina-
tions more rigid, and let the applicants
choose which branches they want. The
certificates will then indicate the spe-
cial line in which the teacher has been
examined Every applicant will be
required to pass an examination in the
history of education, and to pass on
four additional subjects from two
groups as we'll. For this purpose the
subjects have been grouped under
mathematics, science, history, English.
and languages, and this gives a special
ist an opportunity to receive certifi-
cate of proficiency in his own speciality.
IAN interesting feature of our work
is the fact that examinations no longer
form the bulk of it. Most of our time
IS spent in crediting diplomas. When
an applicant presents diploma from
normal school or college. we take it
is an evidence of certain amount Of
work, and often grant him certificate
without an examination. If, however,
we are not confident that the curriculum
of the college from which the diploma
comes IS heavy enough we require the
applicant to take an examination in
the branches in which a deficiency ap-
pears. This means that we must ac-
quaint ourselves with the work of a
long list of colleges.

SchOtt Wins Bout.

The Hartford times. says of the re-
cent bout in which Reinhold Schott
took part:
Much interest was manifested in
the wrestling match between Reinhold
Schott, the champion lightweight
catch-as-catch-can wrestler of the
Northwest. and Ole Bradison, the
Terrible Swede.' When the men
were introduced by 4. F. Ahrendt who
officiated as referee, it could be noticed
that they were in fine condition,
Bradison appearing heavier and more
muscular than Schott. However, as
soon as they were on the mat Schott
showed more science and quickness.
But they were about as evenly
matched as could be and from start
to finish both men took advantage
of every opportunity. The first bout
was hard one and went to Schott in
18 minutes, Bradison taking the
second in Is minutes, being the only
one that he got. The other two falls
went to Schott in and u minutes,
respectively. In the third bout Bra6i-
son had the little finger of his right
hand put out of joint. which handi-
capped him in the third and last bout.
1t was fine exhibition of wrestling
and ali present are thoroughly con-
vinced that it was no fake. Bradison
is strong and good wrestler, and Sur
prised everyone. He made a good
showing against Schott, who has been
in the business for twenty years and
met all che big wrestlers of this coun
try. The full Nelson hold was used
considerably throughout the entire
| match"

Curious Pension Statistics

Some of our pension statistics are
curious. For example. we learn that
there are still on the rolls three pen
sioners of the revolutionary war, which
was brought to an end over 100 years
ago. Of pensioners accredited to the
war of 1912 there still remain 919,
while of the Mexican war no fewer
than 13, O55 survive. Of those accre-
dited to the revolutionary war one is a
widow and two are daughters.
The report shows that pension pay
ments are made to people residing in
every state and territory in the union,
and in almost every known country or
the globe. Among the states Ohio
leads in the amount of pension money

Red Saunders and Scotch Kilties.

In the January McClure's we have
another little whirl with s.Red Saun-
ders," Henry Wallace Phillips pictur-
esqe and resourceful cowboy. In "A
Touch of Nature Red is discovered
foot loose, forty miles from nowhere
in the Bill Williams mountains of Ari-
zona. However, excitemenJ waits just
up the hill in the shape of large
Scotchman, kits, bag pipes, and ali.
No wonder Red is aggrieved at such
an unusual sight. The two meet tenn
pestously, but after they fall on a
ledge together, "twenty-fve foot, clear
into ice water" they become fast
friends. How they danced a moon
light ..can-can," stimulated by scotch
''fusky," and how "Colin Hiccup
Grunt'' became Great Peace Chief of
the Yuma Indians, makes one of the
best Red Saunders stories yet. They're

'Rah for the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railway. 1t has advanced, as
one leap, fifty years to the lead, by
putting on observation cars which
have compartments for women.
Ordinarily woman is pretty much
of an intruder in an observation car,
when she has the nerve to FIGHT her
way through the tobacco smoke and
timid ly pick out seat which isn't oc-
cupied by the feet of some imperial
male being.
There is no doubt about it, the most
effective answer to the man who claims
America to be paradise for chivalry
would be to dress him up as woman
and make him spend two days in an
American railway coach. The custom
of providing 10 10 COM partments for
men to smoke in and 4 closets for
women to dress in, three at a time is
a regular airbrake on the progress of
civilization.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway ought to be given a medal

Resolutions On Death of
Robert E. Lewis.

At a meeting of the board of man
ayers of the Old Ladies Home at Glens
Falls, New York, held December ~,
the following was adopted:
"Inasmueh as Robert E. Lewis of
w atertown, Wis, has been called to his
reward we desire to express our re-
gret and sorrow on the loss of so pub
lie a philanthropist. AS benefactor
to the Old Ladies home We shall all
cherish his memory, not only for what
he had done, but for the manner in
which and for the time in which he
made his generous gift. His splendid
donation coming almost unsolicited. :.
mainly because of his own generous
impulses and desire to be good, have
been the main stay in the support Of
the home for the past two years. at a
time when without his contribution it
would have been impossible to have
maintained it on the basis on which
the institution has been run. But for
this contribution many of the inmates
would not have been able to enjoy the
comforts of the home.
Surely it can be said without
fattery that the promise 'Inasmuch as
We have done it unto one the least Of
these ye have done it unto me- ap-
plies in it's full meaning to Mr.. Lewis.
AS co-worhers with him in this work
the managers and directors Of The
Home feel they have lost a valued
friend, man of generous impulses
and one whose judgment and discrim
ination rendered him peculiarly fitted
to do wisely and well his full duty to
his fellows.
To his wife and surviving relatives
we tender our heartfelt sympathy in
the loss OF one whom we feel could i'll
be spared.
Resolved, that copy of this minute
be furnished the papers in both Water
town, Wis, and Glens Falls and a
copy sent to Mrs. Lewis.

Special Holiday Attraction

One of the prime reasons for the
wonderful success of Wilson Barrett s
great play. "'The Sign of the Cross, y
is that it draws thousands of people of
religious elements who seldom, if ever
attend the theatre. No play in the
history of the stage has had so many
high recommendation from the clergy
as has 1.-The Sign of the Cross" The
play is not only interesting to a high
degree, but is also beautiful lesson.

The man who loves his own CITY and
vino is ever ready and willing to give
his time and of his means to its ad-
va1cement is the highest type of citi-
zen and his value to the community
cannot be measured truthfully, says an
exchange. Civic pride manifests
itself in jealous regard for the honor
and fair name of the community,
true devotion to its interests, willing
ness to make personal interest secon-
darv, if need be, to its advantage,
desire that it may advance Ia all good
things. The city in which a large
majority of the inhabitants are moved
by these impulses is sure to be attrac-
tive, and Il pleasant, profitable place to
live. 1t is a truism in political and
social economy that the good of the
many is the ultimate good of the
individual. Hence, when the people
of community makes their first
desire the advancement of their
common object, that is, the progress
of the community in which they live,
they are building upon a sure foun-
datiOn and at the same time are doing
that which will surely rebound to
their personal advantage.
