APPEAL TO RATE COMMISSION.

The Wisconsin Clay Workers associa-
tion of which officers Of the Manitowoc
Clay Product company, brick manufac-
lures of this city, are members have ap-
pleaded to the state railway commission
to adjust rates on shipments of brick
within the state on the G. q n. w.,
Wisconsin Central, st. Paul and Green
Bay & Western railroad lines. 1t is
charged that discrimination in rates on
brick is made by these roads in favor OF
Chicago manufacturers. NV. Kennedy
is chairman of the committee having
the matter in charge and Hougen q
Brady of this city appear as attorneys
for the association Each of the rail
roads will he represented by an attorney

MORE DIFFICULTY ON new LINE.

Another 'sink-hole" has been discover
ed on the extension of the C. q N. w.
between this city and Green Bay and as
a result freight trains We're sent around
on the old line during part of the past
week The new detection in the track
bed occurs at Bellivue, a small station n
few miles north of Married. where a sink
hole was found when the road was being
built, that caused much delay and cost
thousands of dollars to bridge over.
The new line has had its share of
difficulties with its road bed In addi.
tion to the two mentioned above one of
the abutments OF the big bridge on the
Fox river at Green Bay sank slowly for
time and then disappeared entirely
during the period of construction of the
road.
The present trouble has been taken
charge of by the engineering department
and will be repaired without delay.

MAYOR OUTLINES POSITION,

In communication TO the council at
its meeting Monday evening Mayor
Grottmann set ont his plans for the &C.
quir:ng of municipal water plant
plainly and fairly The mayor, after
reporting the results of the recent water
test, urged upon the council the desir.
ability of the city's acquiring the equity
OF the water company in the existing
plant and advised that negotiation
looking toward that end be begun at
once by the committee of the council
having the matter in charge The mayor
stated that IN case the plant could not
be acquired 10y negotiation, there was
now bill before the legislature for
passage which, if enacted into law will
give to cities the power to condemn the
interest of water companies in city
systems III the same manner in which
railroad companies now condemn land
for right of way and if the plan of
purchase by negotiation failed then the
provisions of this bill, if passed. could
be made use of and the plant acquired
by condemnation
One Of the main advantages in the
securing of the present plant by the city
rather than the building of new one is
that in case the present plant can be
secured, at fair price, no bonds will
have to be issued by the city in the ac-
quirlng of it, As the city has now some
bonded Indebtedness, and rs there will
soon be urgent necessity for the raising
of money for other improvements it is
advisable at the present time to keep
the Indebtedness as low IA possible.
The communication by the Gas Co.
offering TO sell its plant to the city for
Sl6O 600 was referred to a committee TO
investigate and report upon it.
A communication was received from
the Pittsburg Coal company stating
that the new coal docks would be ready
for operation between July lst and 10Th
and the council was requested to hasten
the dredging so that n channel may be
provided in which boats may get TO the
docks. Mr.. Wales, representative of
the company, addressed the council on
the matter

Called BY Death.

1t is with the feelings of deepest
sadness and regret that we chroni-
Gle the death of a sister, Bridget
Agnes Grove, which occurred in
Milwaukee last Friday morning.
The deceased had been in poor
health for some time and medical
treatment having failed to effect
a cure she underwent an operation
on the preceding Monday which
resulted in her death four days
later. Miss Grove was born and
reared in the town of Liberty, this
county, where sue had always re-
sided until about two and one half
years ago, when she with two
brothers, removed TO Milwaukee,
which place she had since made
her home. She was young lady
possessed of the true instincts of
womanly character, esteemed and
respected by all who knew her.
She was an affectionate daughter,
a kind and devoted sister. She
was a devout Catholic and her
firm belief in the doctrines of the
church was exemplified in her
daily life. She is survived by four
brothers, William of Liberty,
Joseph and James of Milwaukee
and the PILOT scribe. Her re-
mains We're brought to st. Nazianz
for interment. The funeral took
place last Monday and all that
was mortal of her was consigned
to the grave. Peace to her soul.
God has called for many a loved one
W. have seen them leave our side;
Now an only sister, loved so dearly
Has forever crossed the tide.
Oh, sister in your silent slumbcr,
oh, sister in your grave SO low;
GU no more Will JON our hulllp'T'
You no more our sorrows know.
'Tis sad that one we cherished
Should be taken from her home,
But the joys that do not perish
Live in memory alone;
All the years we spent together,
All the merry, happy hours,
Shall be cherished in remeu brance,
Fragrant sweets from memory flowers.

The following article from the Wis
consin Journal of Education by NJ. V.
O'Shea, while intended primarily for
higher work in language, contain
pedagogical suggestions for teachers in
all grades of work
European countries and especially
Francean Germany, can give American
teachers valuable lessons on the effective
teaching of languages. These people
have learned through much vital ex-
perience that the elaborate study Of
pathological and grammatical principles,
while of scientific value, may yet leave
the pupil quite inefficient in the use of IA
language. The pursuit of rules, con.
structions, and technical minutiae NAV
give linguistic knowledge of worth to
the specialist, but the mastery of Ian.
guage Is not acquired in this manner
The Europeans, speaking generally,
have discovered that their welfare de-
pends in considerable measure upon their
being able to understand and employ
the everyday speech and writing of their
neighbors, and this determines their
teaching very largely. They keep con.
stantly in mind the practical value of a
living language, and the pupil is en-.
couraged to use it almost from the start.
he does not first memorize body of
grammatical rules, and then proceed to
apply them in mechanical manner,
the rules are acquired for the most part
after some familiarity has been gained
with the language rs means of ex.
preston. Most of the teachers whose
work observed proceeded on the princi
pie that young pupil must have at
least slight eye, ear, and vocal
acquaintance with a language before he
can advantageonsly study its grammar.
One may visit classes in the ycee in
France or the secondary schools of Ger.
many where ne will hear only the Eng.
lish language employed and good Eng.
lish, too-during an entire recitation
He will find that the teachers use lido.
matte English with ease and flueucy,
and the pupils read and converse in the
language without marked difficulty or
hesitancy. 1t seems mere matter of
course in these classes that all are to use
as the medium Of communication the
language being studied, and not simply
memorize and illustrate rules concern
ing 1t, ~ we 80 frequently do in America
Having in mind the work in our own
country, | have been often much i'm.
pressed with the facility of European
people, teachers and pupils, in the
handling of n foreign tongue. They do
not go wearily along, striving to remem,
Der and apply formulGe they have ac-
qulred az consequence of diligent
memorizinR. On the contrary, their
ears and tongues early become some
what accustomed by actual experience
to grasp and employ the language in an
automatic way and this alone can give
mdStciy of any living language He who
interprets or speaks by rule, consciously
and deliberately, will get on badly in
most linguistic situations in which he
may be placed
