COUNTY ASYLUM'S FlNNACES
Committee of Supervisors Changing Meth
cd of Issuing Annual Report

County Supervisors Senglaub, Schroe
der, and Schultz have been busy Mt the
County Court House going over the &C
counts of the County Asylum. These
gentlemen were appointed a committee
to change the method of reporting the
finances of that institution
1t has previously been the custom of
the officers of the asylum to make a re-
port on the first of the year, including
in it what amounts would be due the
asylum from the state during the year
AS a consequence they have always
come ont considerably behind at the end
Of the year the state usually having dis
allowed various items of the account.
This put them in the position of making
provisions for spending more than they
actually received.
The purpose now is simply to issue at
the end of the year report of what has
actually been received from the state.

Manual Training
In North Side
High Schools
Entire Course Now Laid Out From
kindergarten Up....SpeciaI
Teachers Needed

In view of the argument used by ad
vocates of the Central High School
plan, that u better industrial equipment
Is needed in our educational system, it is
of interest to turn to the work that is
actually being done along this line in
some of the schools that already exist
A visit to the North Side High School
of which Principal Keller is the head
would prove u source Of infol nation to u
great many of the citizens of Mantowoc
Here an effort is being made to train
students in various manual arts, and so
much value is placed upon the subject
that, in the first and second grades of
the ward school, arithmetic is set aside
to make room for it, That il, all arith
metic except "a little word In objective
numbers.
The work is not yet ~ extensive as it
is hoped it will he in time; but progress
is being made and the work already
done is extremely encouraging. A good
deal of it is carried on in the basement
of the Luling School Here little car
penter shop, with benches and lathes
and other appliances, is set aside, and
classes are constantly ut work making
various simple articles No very high
point has as yet been reached because
the department is Il new one. In fact
two classes are doing exactly the same
work, the older pupils simply doing it n
little faster thad the younger ones
About the greatest degree Of complica
tion reached il in u little combination
wooden spatula, which the class is max
ing for the class in clav modelling. Next
year the present class will he doing n
higher grade of work and new class
will be doing the work which the present
class is doing now.
In clay modelling, besides making
cones, balls, blocks, etc, the class has
attempted simple objects in nature such
AZ fruits and vegetables The results
havu been astonishingly creditable.
This work is largely for the boys. The
girls have sewing class upder the di
rection of Miss Bailey. A cooking class
has also been started for them This,
however. has not been provided for in
the regular coarse and the girls them
selves contribute to its support 1t
meets in the basement of St James
Parish church.
The whole industrial course on the
North Side il now laid out from the
kindergarten mp. Everything is NOV
ing smoothly and time is all that j.
needed to make the course one of the
most valuable in the entire curriculum
The one difficulty is that mt present
there are no special teachers for it 1t
II is hoped that, in another year or 80,
IL few of these will be gotten. AT pres
ent the teachers of each grade conduct
the industrial work of their grade under
the general supervision Of Mr.. Keller
The main thing, however, il that the
community should be kept in touch with
| the work and should be made to see lis
value.

VISITORS SHOW TEAM WORK
Company F., of Oshkosh, Defeats Home
Players By 38 to 10

The basket ball teams of Companies
H of this city, and F., of Oshkosh,
played rather one sided game ut Tur
ner Hall Friday evening. The score was
81 to 10 in favor of the visitors
Company f. had decidedly the advan
tage from the start in that they were all
taller than the men of the home team.
They showed little better team work,
rs we'll, and trifle more accuracy in
placing the ball. Their center, Math-
wig, was theiI star player and was the
tallest man on the two teams Their
team work was especially good in the
second half. One play, where they pro
gresscd the entire length of the room,
see-sawing the ball back and forth and
finally putting it in the basket gave
clear evidence of training in concerted
action

County Court house, Judge Michael
Kirwan says he has been told that the

dar just issued will be of interest.
There are seventeen cases of fact for
for jury and thirteen of fact for conrt
There are two cases of law for court and
and seven criminal cases.
One of the most notable of the fact
for jury cases is that of SZcZepen Szcze
panski, TT al against Stephen
Szczepanski, ct al Stephen Szczepan-
ski was the man whose wife WAS for
chilly taken from him and committed to
the insane asylum at Oshkosh about a
month ago. 1t was said TINT her condi-
tion WAS due TO being inhumanly treated
while in chiid birth 1t will be remem
berrd that one feature of the case was
the destroying Of II bond of maintenance
and title to property which passed be
tween Stephen and his father Szczepen,
His father is now bringing suit to re
cover the property
Another interesting fact for lnry
case is that of Fred Mueller against the
estate of his father Gustave, for Ger
tain sum of money which he claims his
father on his death bed had agreed to
pay him for leaving his business ont
west and coming to take charge of his
fathers brewing BUSINESS in Manto-
voc.
There are three cases in which Henry
Stole, Sr., aud Thomas r. Torrison are
the principals In two Of these Stole
is the complainant and in one he is de
fendant Another interesting case il
regarding the question of the right Of II
married woman to teach school which
Kathryn Brady i4 to fight ont with the

Among the important "fact for jury
cases the ono Of most prominence il
that of the guardianship Of Rhinehold

OF the criminal cases the most inpor
tant two are the State Of Wisconsin

ain against Leon Revolinski recently
