EDUCATIONAL.
BY " E. LARSON.

In Joint District No ?, Town of Lib
erty, (the Gigstad District) there pre-
walls most excellent custom. AT every
annual meeting some one is given the
job of cleaning the school house once a
month during the school year.
This custom has now been adopted by
other districts wholly or in part and it
is certainly commendable practice In
some schools the floor is scrubbed but
once year. Think of it, mothers. If
your kitchen was to be cleaned once In
six months, how would it look2 Yet in
your own home there are fewer feet
dragging in mud than in the school
room. Every week the home kitchen is
scrubbed. 1t has an esthetic effect. The
clean, white floor of the kitchen is the
pride of the house wife. 1t has its eff
fects on the children themselves. So it
is with the school room.
Bat the esthetic phase is not the only
one; the hygienic is rs important. The
air of a room is not so pure when it rests
upon dirty floor These little particles
that float around in the air are carriers
of microbe passengers. Nothing is so
important to health as cleanliness.
The cost of scrubbing the school house
once month is very little. Figure out
how much it will be on each family in
the district Raise S25 more if necessa-
ry to do the work. 1t pays. Cleanliness
is economy; filth is costly.

MANITOW0C TEAM LOSES.

The home team lost the game of base
ball played with the Milwaukee club
by score of > to 3. A large
crowd turned out to see the game and
they were treated to fine exhibition of
how it should be played in all but two
innings. The loss of Sundays contest
puts Manitowoc in fifth place in the
league.

Veterans which met in the city last
Tuesday continued its sessions through
Wednesday and Thursday and on ad-
iournment decided to meet next year at

following selection:
Commander VIM. F. Bauchle, Beloit
Senior Vice-Dr Foote, Ripon.
Junior Vice-Otto Harris, Milwaukee.
Dept. Inspt.-C. D. Evans, Manitowoc.
Dept Sergt.-J. Sutton, Oshkosh
Judge Advocate-Peter Benfey She

ton and was supposed to have the best
chance of landing it,
Exmayor Nelson and Mayor Horlich
of Racine together with number of
county officials and business men were
here to boost Evans candidacy, and We're
much disappointed at the defeat.
The convention adopted resolution
providing for the appointment of a
committee to investigate proposed legis-
lation which may affect the department
in the future. This action was taken
because of the defeat of certain meas
ure introduced at the present session of
the Legislature which was favored by
the Spanish war veterans and was said
to have been opposed by the Grand
Army.

 Mr Stevens of Saybrook spoke in favor of the resolution. He produced letters indicating the desire of many persons who wanted the road built, but
 as he began to raid, MT. Burnes of Greenwich rose to point of order, maintaining that the reading of letters during debate is out of order. MT Ma lone of Bristol moved that permission be given to MT Stevens to read let ters pertaining to the subject under consideration. Mir. Burnes said that he had no objection to the reading of let ters pertaining directly on the subject, and Mir. Stevens then readtwo letters.
 MT Gum of Milford said that he has sympathy for the railroad committee in every session of the legislature. Very often, the committee is misunderstood, and wrong motives are attributed to It., without cause. Mir. Gum deprecated any criticism of the railroad commit tee, and was glad that none had been made during the debate in progress.

The Greatest Singers.

Bird dealers seldom give any infor- nation about the breeding and raising of canaries, for if there was too much competition their business, no doubt. would be affected The bird stores buy the imported stock, commonly known as 'jobbers," for $12 dozen and sell them at an average of $25O each, The birds are of such beauti- ful yellow and warble so sweetly at times that the uninitiated think they are getting a bargain. To the con- noisseur, however, the chip, chip chip" which the birds use as a finale to their warbling, would convince him in an instant of their mediocrity.
 Some dealers handle many better grades of German singers, but they al- ways are kept in a separate room from the common stock, for it is a we'll known fact that birds are great imi- tators, and poor bird can spoil a good singer in a short time if both are kept
