TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

The Training school assumed quite a
festive appearance on Arbor day.
Nearly all of the young ladies wore
white dresses and red carnations A
large bouquet of pink carnations and
many Towering plants adorned the
tables. All numbers on the program
were ably rendered The musical
numbers were especially well received
and rev called some talent which might
be cultivated to advantage. Among the
visitors whose names were registered
were: MeSdames Parkinson, McCul-
loch, Cleveland, O'Brien, KAUFMAN,
Snedden, Sloan, Marson ana MeKinney
Several High school seniors were pres
ent,. also former graduates of the
framing school who were all duly
urged to make remarks upon a variety
of topics. The response was not as
hopeful as usual The next best thing
to having thought is the opportunity
OF passing it on to another through the
medium of voice filled with life and
Inspiration. No graduate of the Train
ing school will be denied such enjoy
ment. The invitation to talk should be
regarded as a rare privilege, and a
pride taken in the response. The
alumni have done well in the past but
more ana more Is each year expected
of them in professional way. The
school is entitled to their presence and
active co-opertion; no one of them
should be a ''dead-head' in the stl cam
of progress, serving only to bump
against or overturn the more ambitious
craft bound for a distant goal. A
greater interest on the part of married
Alumni is contamination devoutly to
be wished. All members of the Alumni
should attend the meeting on May 20.
Miss Bohrer drove into the country
on Saturday to make some calls.

way to the surface of the ground, may
get little more practice in agriculture

SENATOR LAKEWOOD is
RIGHT.

The Milwaukee Free Press Is pub
fishing series OF letters from mem
bers OF the legislature, giving their
views in regard to the primary election
law. In one of these letters John A.
Hazelwood OF Jefferson, state senator
elect from the twenty third district,
digresses from the subject Of primary
elections to say:
~ favor the amendment OF our gen
election laws to do away with almost
our last "party boss pet" the priv
ilege of voting a straight ticket"
with one cross"
Senator Hazelwood is absolutely
right in this matter. Wisconsin ought
to again have the old Cooper ballot, or
what Is now called the Massachusetts
ballot. The circle provided for voting
n straight ticket 10 very obnoxious
feature and ought to be abolished. 1t
Is solely responsible for the enormous
and unwieldly size OF the ballot. 1t
confuses the voters and prevents n
fair expression OF public opinion.
II Is to be hoped that Senator Hazel
wood may introduce bill in accord
ance with his idea in regard to reform
ing the ballot In this simple manner,
and that IL will become a law.
The press OF Wisconsin ought to
take up the matter and agltate for n
smaller and better ballot
