CLUB BANQUET.


ing which there was nothing doing, the
Wausau Mems club resumed its activi-
ties Wednesday, when the first BANQUET
OF the season was given at Mercer S
hall. The banquet was well attended
Dy members, nOn-members and men,
bers of the Wisconsin Shorthorn Breed
ers' association. 1t was in the nature
of farewell to Supt Karl Mathie, who
is soon to leave the city and after all
had supplied the demands of their
appetites, Mr. Mathie was introduced
| by President q. ID. Jones, as the first
speaker of the evening.
Mr. Mathie confined his remarks to
the management of the city schools,
the interest taken by citizens in school
affairs, the liberality of Wausau people
as directed toward the schools, the
high class of citizens appointed on the
school board and of the assistance and
cooperation that had been given him
by the people during the past nine
years that he has been superintendent.
In stating the advancement that has
been made in the schools of the country
since the time readin', 'ritin' and 'rith-
metic were considered the only essen
tials in a common school education,
MIR. Mathie said that the schools of
Wausau were well organized but their
work was just begun.
John +. Lamont, who is soon to re-
tire as county superintendent of schools
mentioned the close relationship and
harmony that had existed during his
terms of office, between the city and
county schools in affairs bearing on the
welfare of those schools. Mr.. Mathie's
work in the city schools, he said, had
grown so that his name had been spread
throughout the state as an educator.
DIR. w. o. Carrier, president of
Carroll college, Warkesha, stated that
it was always great pleasure to him
to visit his old friends in Wausau, that
the same spirit of hospitality was mani
tested stronger on each of his visits and
that the people of Wausau were known
throughout the state for their unity and
harmonious action in accomplishing
things for the city's progress. When it
comes time for him to retire from the
activities of life, he said, he would
come back to Wausau to live.
G. b. Bird expressed no fear of losing
Mr. Mathie as a resident of Wausau
He expected that few years residence
in Minnesota would be sufficient to
cause our present city superintendent
to come back to the best city on earth
and remain permanent resident.

ing the Wisconsin Agriculturist, who
was in the city to attend the Shorthorn
Breeders association sale, was called
