The bill which has the support

or in their employ az least three or
four DAYS vacation with pay for the
purpose of attending the teachers |
association conventions, has passed |
both houses and will be signed very !
soon by Gov. Davidson. This meas
ure is intended to do away with !
Christmas holiday conventions and
to permit these conventions to be
held IL October. The argument for
the October convention is that
teachers out of the state cannot at
tend the teachers convention be-
cause of the necessity of their going
home for the holidays. If the con-
vention is held in October, however,
they will attend the state session.
At the last session OF the teachers
convention it was decided TO hold
the next convention according to
the provisions of the new law, so
the Wisconsin teachers will meet
this year some time in October.
The trade territory of town is
not all dependent upon the distance
TO the neighboring trading points.
The trade territory depends upon
the enterprise Of the merchants and
the residents of the town. If
town does not reach out after the
trade it will come only as fast as it
has to, and grows as it is forced.
But If the merchants go after bust
ness in the surrounding country,
advertising in every possible way,
ana making good every word of
their advertising, trade will come
from an ever-increasing radius, the
town will gain reputation for be-
ing awake and will keep TO the
front. 1t is the men in the town
and not altogether the men living
within a certain number of miles
from it that makes the town.

laying of the corner stone of the
new Felt Carnegie library.
There is perhaps nothing that
more with effective school
work than parties given during the
school week. If the time actually |
spent at the party alone be consider
ed, the illeffects on school work |
would possibly not be so marked. |
But experience has taught all Of us
that the mind cannot be centered |
on school work, either while an
a jovial time or while !
the impressions Of a night of amuse-
ment are fresh IN our memories.

The sooner you make your contri-
