This year the examination schedule
will be somewhat different from former
years. The examinations will be held

same manner as the classes are. The
two sessions will be equalized to four
periods each. Accordingly, there will
be examinations on the first day for the

Mr.. Shole's and is very pretty
Mr.. Parlin will give a lecture on
Greece for the knights of Pythias on
the 23rd of this month.
Mr.. Tobey, Mr. Parlin and quite
number OF the Wausau teachers attend
ed the State Teachers Association con-
vention at Milwaukee, Dec. 26-29. The
convention was success both as to
attendance and program. The attend
ance was estimated at near thousand;
the program had number of unusually
interesting things. Chief among these
was the address by Judge Ben Lindsay
of the Denver juvenile court, in which
he told of his work in retaining the
delinquent children of Denver. OF
more especial interest to teachers was
the address by President W. o. Thomp-
son, of Ohio state university, in which
he dwelt upon the absolute necessity of
moral education, not only by teaching
but by example and influence of the
teachers. The last day of the conven-
ton was spent in discussing the rela-
tons of the high schools and the state
university. Quite little criticism was
INDUCED in, especially was the univer-
sity criticised because of its inadequate
training for teachers for high school
work, because of the lack of fitness of
the subordinate instructors of the uni
versity; OF the inaptitude of the teach
ing force of the university to so mingle
with the life of the state as to appre-
ciate the needs of the people. How
ever, President Van Hese, of the uni
versity, assured the teachers that he
appreciated the needs of the university
in that direction, and it is probable that
an effort will be made to establish q
teachers college at the university
