Report Of the Finance Committee
Advises the Placing of More
Insurance on the Schools
STUDENTS MAKE PETITION
One Hundred and Eighty-six Students
Request that the Afternoon Session
Begin at One O'Clock.

At meeting of the board of edu-
cation Tuesday night several i'm
portant matters came up for the con-
sideration of the members. A petit
ton of the students at the High
school was presented to the meeting,
which requested that the school ses-
sion IN the afternoon commence at /
O'Clock during the football season.
The students are DESTROYS of having
the afternoon session close at an
earlier hour SO that they may have
more time for football practice, The
students feel that in the past the
team from Kenosha has not been as
good as it might be for the size of the
town, and they want this year to have
a team that is second to none. They
think that there is now not enough
time between the closing of the after
noon session and dark for practice.
After long discussian among the
members of the board it was decided
to lay the petition on the table and
SO the petition goes over for the time
being. There were several of the
members who were strongly opposed
to football in the school and seem to
think that the exercise should be
frowned on. AS matter of fact
the boys in the school should be given
every encouragement in developing
their muscles as we'll as their brains,
but football should not be given
preference sover studies. It is a
well recognized fact that in all the
big institutions of learning phys
ical development is as important as
mind development and football is
not frowned on in any of the colleges
There is no reason why the same rule
cannot be followed here as in the big
ger schools, that no student is e1igi-
bic to the team who is not up to a
certain grade in his work at school.
A study requirement is all right but
with this limitation the boys should
be given every encouragement to
have team and good one.
More Insurance Recommended.
The!Finance committee made re-
port showing that the insurance on
the various school buildings IN the
city was not sufficient and recon-
mended that the insurance be revis-
ed and new line placed where the
present covering was inadequate.
Their report was adopted and the
committee instructed to obtain more
insurance so that the buildings be
covered as follows:
Frank school building $4,000,
contents, $500.
Gil1ett school building, $1,000, con-
tents, $500.
Weiskopf school building, $4,000,
contents, 5000.
Deming school building, $4,000,
contents, 5000.
Durkee school building, SIS, 900,
contents, Subject to comp1etion).
High school building, $4,000, con-
tents, $4,000.
Truancy Law Read.
superintendent p. J. Zimmers then
read the section of the Wisconsin
Statutes applicable to truants and
recommended that action be taken to
prevent so many boys hanging around
the streets when they should be at
their studies. He also read the law as
to fire escapes on school buildings.
The superintendent was authorized
by the board to buy reference books
for the High school building not to
exceed in value the sum of 500.

JUST MISSED TIE LADIES.
A Runaway Team is Held Up by a
Telephone Pole.

A pair of runaway horses, dashing up
HaEgett street with wagon behind them
yesterday, just missed eoliaing with I,
buggy in which there were two ladies.
II was about five O'clock when the team
pulling the wagon of Philips s. Penny
made a break and dashed along west Har-
gett street towards Fayetteville. AS they
swung across Fayetteville street they
turned in towards Kings drug store, and
It looked as if they wonld dash into Il
buggy just beyond Fayetteville street. In
it were two ladies.
But the swing OF the horses carried
them up to telephone pdle on the corner
one horse going on each side, and one
falling down. This stopped the runaway
the force OF the collision taking off Il
slice of the telephone pole. and tearing
up the wagon a little. One horse was
considerably bruised on tae leg.
There was not a great deal Of damage
done, but the ladies felt that they had
just missed severe injury or death by a
hairs breadth.

CARR ENTERS MEET
Mass Meeting Addressed
by Treasurer Lacy
Last Night.

The carpenters of the city held mas;
meeting in Rescue Hall last night under
tie auspices of the Carpenters and Join
crs Unions of Raleigh President M. r
Ruth presiding. This was an open meet
ing to which all were welcomed. There
were representatives from every organiza.
ton in the city, and a large crowd was
present.
President Ruth introduced as the first
speaker, Hon. b. Il. Lacy, the State
Treasurer.
Mr.. Lacy spoke principally on the sub
ject Of character building, basing his re-
marks upon the proposition that a labor
organization Lad to have a character
for faithfulncss, honesty and sobriety just
as much as an individual. if it expected
to merit the confidence of the community.
If an organization lacks that character,
it will have no influence whatever for
good.
There were other ways besides by the
increasing of wages that organization
helped men, Mr.. Lacy urged. 1t gave a
man friends when lie was in trouble,
helped him when in need, or sorely tempt
ed. Mr. Lacy also dwclt upon the thought
that in order to purify the whole, the in
Gividual must be purified liability, not
quantity, was what was wanted beyond
everything else.
Another point impressed was that any
organization that had laws in conflict
with the laws of God or the laws of the
country was q dangerous organization,
ana no good man ought to belong to such
one. Then again, Mr.. Lacy's word2
we're strong on the matter of temperance.
# man wanted the respect CT his fell
low man, lie could not afford to be Q
drunkard, he must appear among his fell
lows decently end in his right mind.
Anecdotes and illustrations rounded on,
and made clear and entertaining the
points that were made. The speech was
heartily enjoyed, and Mr.. Lacy was ap-
plauded with enthusiasm.
Mr.. Z. s. Cheek, president Of Raleigh
Typographical Union, was next intro,
ducea, and save the new organization
some wholesome advice, and held the
undivided attention Of the audience
throughout
President w. B. Hunter, Of the Retail
Clerks Union, made stirring address,
full of enthusiasm. and even surpassed
himself in his previous fine efforts.
President George Norwood, of the
brotherhood of Book5indecs. made most
practical talk to the carpenters, and
urged the carpenters to address them
selves to the task of increasing the mem
bership, and not TO be content until every
carpenter in the city held membership in
.he Union.
The last speaker on the programme was
President r. p. Dickson, of the Central
labor Union. He spoke Of the cups and
downs" of new organizations, and told
the carpenters that they would have
theirs He assured the carpenters that
the members of all the other unions in
the city stood ready to render them any
assistance that lay in their power
The carpenters are fast organizing in
Raleigh, ard number among their mem
bership in the Union, not only some Of
the best carpenters. but some Of the best
citizens as well.
