The Mining World, the principal
mining paper of the country, says in
its last issue that capital cannot be
| invested on safer chances of success
in mining than that of lead and zinc
mining in So, .hwestern Wisconsin,.
"A richer field of investment can not
be found" is one Of the Things it says.

The question of making a good
display of mineral at the Platteville
Fair is being discussed considerably
among the citizens. The plan is an
excellent one and may be productive
of great good to the mining interests
of southwest Wisconsin. If such
project is to be undertaken let the
display be such that outsiders will
obtain the correct idea OF our mines
and to do this, work should be start
ed at once. This district has wonder

HE NEEDED TEACHING.
Specimen Of Would-Be Negro
Teachers Requirements.

What the average negro applicant for,
the position OF teacher In the public
schools Of the South does not know would
be revelation to many OF those in the
North. But the examining boards In
Southern States can at any time produce
written testimony from the applicants in
question, showing tlei- English" to more
than match the l,nbu OF the Anglo-1ndian
native inS idiosyncrasies and queer OK
tpressions. There Is n peculiar mental
twist In the brain OF every soul with even,
q. drop OF African blood in his veins that
is a perpetual puzzle to all Northerners
who como South and have to do with the
negro In his native lair, and which even
those OF the South who have had to
make a study OF the negro for genera
+! tons can never quite unravel.
Tho following Is a fair sample!of the
sort OF document that the examiners on
school boards have to contend with at
every issue OF licenses to teachers OF the
colored schools. The theme under treat
ment was 1.-THE Proper Preparation OF the
Teacher:
The teacher should BIO properly cared
for by preparing nice sclloolroon for
him and a number OF buclsits and dipers
that ar needed and the teacher should
hay goot heeter stoves plenty OF benches
and surficant OF overcoats and over
oI!OcS LIe tlGICNerI S1OuiQ
be well prepared for teaching school the
school room should be well prepared
there good windor lights blinds are
needed In case Of bad wcthcr you should
have a good stove pipe nuc so that when
the wind gets highr 1t are not dangerous
OF catching arfirc are be always smoking
smoking the teacher should be well fixed
up In every way thay are amany things
kneeded when you begin to teach school
when the wether Is bad in winter the
teacher should have a horse and buggy
and in the summer he should have a
Umbrella and a fan o,protect the heat
II not at homo he should have q nice
bording place where everything are nice
and convenient for him the teacher
should be cared for a in every respek
and honored in every way tho teacher
should be we'll knowned by every one OF
the children should be obedience to there
teacher.
1t is no doubt nice and convenient for q
teacher to be thus free and independent
of conservative ideas and the tra.nmels
OF punctuation and capitalization! to say
nothing OF the Samsonllke ease with
which the ironclad rules OF photography
and grammar are burst apart. The caro-
full consideration OF the teachers personal
comfort suggested in the foregoing is
also to DO highly commended. But the
hard hearted board actually turned this
application down, despite all these divers
merits, II not because OF them.-AIemphs
