STATE TEACHERS CONVENTION,

The state teachers convention
will be held in Milwaukee on the
9TH, Sth and 9th of November.
AT this convention all the lead
ing educators of the state will
assemble and discuss methods
for the betterment of the schools
in Wisconsin.
Each subject will be taken up
by itself and the discussion led
by some man who has made q
speciality of it. This will be of
great advantage to the teachers
as they can attend the separate
meetings where the subjects that
they teach are taken up. Thus,
Prof. +. Il. Turner of the Uni
Versity of Wisconsin Will take
the section on history he will
talk on the Essentials of History
stating what ought to be taught
and what should be omitted in
the graded schools and also in
the high schools. Many other
leading educators will be there,
not only from the state universe
ty, the normals and high schools,
but from other universities as
well.
The advantages gained from
this convention will be very
great. The teachers who attend
can secure the results obtained
from the long experience of our
best educators. New methods
will also be explained SO that
the teachers will be able to pre-
sent their subjects in a better
and more interesting manner.
Not only this but the meeting of
50 many teachers will fill each
one present with spirit of CO.
operation, and inspire them to
do better and more careful work.
Under the new state law, the
school boards Of cath township
can give the teachers leave of
absence, with pay, to attend this
convention. The lawmakers be-
lieved that dismissal of classes
for few days would be more
than repaid by the increased eff
ficiency of the teachers who at
teud. 1t is expected that every
teacher who wishes to be pro-
gressive and keep their school to
its highest grade of efficiency
will not fail to take advantage of
the instruction offered at the
state convention.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

1t will PROBABLY be of interest
to the citizens of Wabeno and
Soperton as to how the high
school is progressing. The pub
lie school at present offers two
years of high school instruction.
The first year class consists of
eleven pupils, Emily Fitzpatrick,
Hazel Russell, Clara Larsen,
Emma Carney, Beulah Kimbell,
Bertha Derrah, Louis Mallow,
Dana Richardson, Albert Lud-
wig, VIM. Kolanda. and George
Huettl The second year class
in high school is composed of
Francis Nivison and Robert Nc
Graw.
The course of study in the first
year consists of Algebra, Ancient
History, Composition, Litera,
ture and Physiology. These
studies are in the type course de-
manded by the state superintend-
ent of education and fulfill the
requirements for the free graded
high schools. The instruction
in the high school is given by
Principal Henry S. Baker, Phi.
D. and Mr.. G. F. Ellefson.
The present high school is in
its infancy, but foundations are
now being laid for the establish
ment of the full course of four
years which will admit the grad
yates to the University of Wis
consin without entrance exami-
nation. 1t is certain that in a
few years the Wabeno High
School will be put on the list Of
high schools accredited to the
university.
At present the high school and
eighth grade recite in the same
room. 1t would be very desire
able to have separate room a.
least for the high school. This
would give the students better
periods for study and more undi
vided help could be given them
Next year there will be mucl
larger class in the second year
and the eighth grade is about as
large as the present first year
class. More room must be given
to the high school then in order
to secure the best results.

BOOST NORTHERN WISCONSIN.

The movement to organize the
Northern Wisconsin counties for
the purpose of cooperating in
promoting immigration seem S
about to be crowned with sue
cess. The preliminary work of
organizing county development
associations in the various north
ern cCApties is nearly complete.
Local organizations have been
perfected in twelve or more
counties and delegates chosen to
represent those. local organiza
tions in the convention which
will be held in Hayward, No.
vember 9TH. Four or five other
counties have taken the first
steps toward organizing and it
appears that at least sixteen
counties will be represented in
the Hayward convention.
This convention, made up of
two delegates from each county
development association, will
perfect the organization of a fed
GRAFTON along the lines recon-
mended by the North Wisconsin
Farmers Association, the orga-
nization which has for several
years maintained b g famous
"Grassland" a vertising car.
While details of methods to be
used remain to be determined bv
the convention, the general pur-
pose will be to cooperate with
the State Board of Immigration
and with the Wisconsin Immi-
grafton and Development Assoc
iation in "boosting" Northern
Wisconsin. That cooperation in
this manner will result in more
systematic and effective work ad
vertising to the homeseeker the
unequalled opportunities offered
by Northern Wisconsin canno
be doubted.
The possible and practicable
lines of work which could bt
Ycarried on by such an associa
tion are numerous. The adver
tising car "Grassland" is one O.
the most effective means of ad
vertising our agricultural re
sources that could be devised
Another very effective means
would be the employment Of q
lecturer, supplied with stereopti.
con views illustrating our re.
sources and what has been ac.
complished by settlers now here.
also carrying an exhibit of grass.
es and grains. Other methods
would be the placing of exhibits
of agricultural products and col.
lections of photographs in prom
inent places in the thickly settled
sections. Various other methods
will suggest themselves which
could be employed by this feder-
alton to carry to the laborer, the
renter and the ambitious young
man in the overpopulated sec
tions, knowledge of the fertility
and productiveness of Northern
Wisconsin, its cheap land, acces-
sible markets, unexcelled rail
way facilities and its host of ad-
vantages over the bleak and in.
hospitable prairies.
The work of organization has
been taken up in the various
counties with an enthusiasm that
presages success. 1t should re-
ceive the hearty approval and
support of all who have the best
interests of Northern Wisconsin
at heart.

A contest which, until its close at
least. was marked by gOOd-natured
rivalry and clean methods. although
with the sharpest of political tactics.
1t was a striking picture, that of
the venerable lumberman of Marinette
finally attaining the goal to which he
had bent his political hopes for
whole generation. Like all contests
of this kind, however, the victory was
not without some rancor being bred
thereby. The action of State Chair
man w. ID. Conner in snatching the
prize from the hands of w. II. Hatten,
when it was all but within the grasp
of the New London man, was one of
the most startling political coups ever
executed.

A WORLD OF DECEPTION.

Not long ago a man went into
one of the hardware stores in this
city to buy an ax-handle. Going
to the rack where they were kept,
after great difficulty he selected
one. It wasn't so much the heft OR
the make he was particular about,
rather the material, and as he paid
for it he said he believed it was all
hickory. The fellow was suspicious.
He had been fooled ON so many diff
ferent occasions he didn't know but
what the manufacturer had made
an article part hickory, and the
other part pine or putty. He said
he was all puzzled up every time
he went to buy anything he wanted
TO eat, or wear, or use He said it
wasn't always that way and he be-
lieved che world was getting bad.
1T was only week ago." he went
on, "a friend of mine sold me a
gallon of pure maple syrup. l have
since learned he doesn't own a
maple tree and made the stuff out
of corn cObs and brown sugar. Then
my wife complains about the coffee
beans beng half peas, and l know
a package of strained honey l
bought last fall never saw a bee
hive. That's why | am suspicious,
but / guess this ax-handle is all
hickory all right" and with that he
left the store. Well this is world
of deception. It's in the household.
on the farm, in religion, business,
politics, friendship, everything.
You think you have the genuine
article in friend In the moment
that you trust him he hands you a
lemon. 1t was only the outer man
you knew-the veneer part. After
that you wouldn't trust him with a

Ever since the civil war there has
been something in the law which
was construed to prevent the pay
ment of government bounty of 500
to each veteran who enlisted prior
to July 1, 1868 1t is SAID now that
a statute of limitations which acted
as bar to the payment of the
bounty has expired, and that every
old soldier who mustered prior to
July 1, 1868, will be entitled to re-
ceive this 500 bounty. We do not
know how these claims are to be
filed, but we do know that this is
but long. delayed Justice TO the
boys who sprung to arms regardless
of bounty or pay when our country

It is now reported that the wheat
crop of this continent will be 225
million bushels short for the year
1907, and great many profess to
believe that it will go to at least
81. so per bushel and -four to 81 per
barrel The shortage is believed to
be still growing on account of the
cold in Manitoba and the northern
country But we are assured by
the wheat writer's there will be no
danger of a famine, even with flour
at 81 per barrel. People can eat
more corn, rice, rye, beans aud,
some of them anyway, can eat that
common horse food, oats, if prop
erly prepared and sufficiently garn-
ished with cream and sugar. No,
there is no danger of famine this
year.
