TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

Miss Frieda Zietlow, '05, has been
sick for week and unable to continue
her work
MIR. Wells has been absent from schoo
for few days, on account of illness
but is now rapidly recovering.
The sleigh ride which the students
hoped to enjoy on Friday afternoon was
postponed on account of the storm.
The regular examinations for the
second quarter will take place this
week. Observation of the work in the
city schools will continue next week
and some further practice teaching will
be done the week following.
Many of the alumni are having then
vacations at present and have visited us
and left many suggestions in regard to
the course which new students ought to
pursue in discipline, methods of teach
ing and the visiting of parents.
A meeting for the teachers of the
county was held in the assembly room
of the Training school on Saturday. 1t
was not largely attended on account of
the bad weather, but those who were
present appeared to take an active in
terest. President Lemmer, of Mara
thon City, presided and besides giving
very good address, interspersed many
good suggestions all the way through.
Supt, Tobey presented fine talk upon
the teaching of language; Mr.. Hurley
upon spelling. Good suggestions were
made by Supt. Farrell and different
members of the association in regard to
the best means of carrying on an exer-
else Sc necessary to every citizen. Mr..
Drewry, inspector of state graded
schools, was present and gave sugges-
tions along many lines. He also re-
viewed the statutes of 1905 which i'm
concerned the teachers. A
class exercise in music was conducted
by Miss Bohrer. A meeting was ar
ranged to be held in Hamburg some
time in February.

little jealous of the wonderful success
of the Marathon county fairs, to which
its own county can never hope to attain
by conducting their fairs on the circus
plan, but just why Wausau paper
should feel called upon to denounce its
own county fairs, which have been so
eminently successful. is hard to deter
mine.

To Restrain Extravagances.

The report from Sweden that a league
has been formed here for the purpose
Of restraining extravaganza in wonlan's
dress has a good, rich Elizabethan ring
about it. In 1880 "the principal citizens
OF London who became so eXtraVagant
&inltheir dress that5it was thought neces-
sary to restrain the same and the re-
suit was proclamation issued by Her
Majesty against excess Of apparel, gold
chains and cloaks, the latter of which
were made so long that they reached
down to the heels" Where Is that procla-
nation now? Still more arbitrary was q
proclamation OF 1865 announcing that "a
ridiculous custom having long prevailed
Of wearing shoes with toes OF enormous
length. for the future the beaks or toes
4 OF shoes should not exceed two inches
in length, on the penalty OF tho wearer
being communicated and paying fine

lous fashions were fined now, somebody

Small Wages in Germany.
Most Americans will be astonshcd to
learn what pitlfully small wages arc
earned by the large German class known
as heimarboiter, or home workers. It in
cludes men, women and not less than
$50 900 children some OF them only three
years old. Nearly all the German toys
are made by them. For sixty wooden
soldiers, ON which an adult and three
children work thirty hours, about twenty
nino cents Is paid Colored masks bring
half a cent an hour for an adult and two
cents an hour for nm eitire family. The
wages paid the makers Of musical instru-
ments are but little better. Two men and
one woman can earn only 1856 for 1872
hours work at making harmonious.

Canada has set aside number OF

The Algonquin National Park, in Central
