Wisconsin Drops From Eighth to
Twelfth Place in the List of
States for Literacy
CITIES HIGHER THAN COUNTRY
Only Seventy Per Cent of Children Of
School Age Attend School IN Rural
Districts, Whiie Cities Show
"a Per Cent Attendance

Despite the fact that the population
of the state is increasing at rate of
about $4,000 annually, the attendance
of children in the schools of the state
shows no increase. From the reports
submitted to the state superintend-
ent's Office for the past year it is evil
dent there has been no increase in at
tendance over the year before. Ten
years ago the state of Wisconsin was
ranked eighth in the list for 1iteracy
by the commissioner of education of
the United States government; now it
ranks twelfth. The number of peo-
pie who cannot read or write, accord
ing to the federal statistics, is rapidly
increasing in the state.
The reports show that the number
of persons of school age In the state
on June 80 last was 772,5l6
There are more people of school age
IN the counties than in the cities. The
number of school age in the counties
for the year ending June 80 was 437, :
238 and in the cities 255, 278.
Not all the children of school age
attend school. During the year the
attendance of the public schools was
622, 276, which is 100000 less than the
number within the school age limits.
The figures for enrolment compiled
at the department of public instruc-
ton show that 322, 478 were enrolled ia
the public schools in counties, 146, 1893
in cities and So, O00-e estimated the
private and parochial schools of the
state.
The compulsory education law has
operated quite successfully in cities
during the past year and about "a per
cent of the children of school age
were in atteI dance.
In the rural districts only about 20
per cent Of the children were in at
tendance. This was due to the change
in the compulsory education law. For
merly children had to attend school
but twelve weeks in the year It was
found that 90 per cent of the country
school children we're in attendance.
Then the limit was raised two years
ago to twenty weeks in the year and
as result the percentage dropped %
per cent.
The amount expended for the county
and city schools during the past year
was 1884, OH SO. Of this amount
there was expended on the city
schools $4,000, 38O.O1; and on the
schools in the counties $5,499, 623. IS

TEACHERS TO VOTE
Will Elect Head of State Asso.
citation at Convention To Be
Held in Milwaukee
FIND MANY CANDIDATES

Politics are exceedingly lively at
the present time in the Wisconsin
State Teachers association and the
outlook is that there will be an inter
esting contest over the presidency in
the convention of the association
which opens in Milwaukee Nov. 7.
The friends of both F. A. McIver,
uperintendent Of schools at Osh-
kosh, and of H. r. Buel, superin-
tendent of schools Of GAINESVILLE, are
working hard and systematic can
vass is being made by letter of the
teachers of the state by both candi-
dates.
In addition to the selection of a
president the teachers will have be-
fore them at this convention what is
known as the Pearse anne dment to
the constitution, which provides for
return to a committee nominating
plan for the election of the associa-
ton officers. In view of the fact that
the teachers seem we'll satisfied with
the present direct method of the Sc.
lection of officers and do not appear
anxious to return to plan which has
strong smacking of giving the con
troll of the association over to a few
dominating spirits, it is not likely
that the Pearse amendment will re-
ceive very much support.
Miss Katherine Williams, of Mil
waukee, may have clear field for
re. election to the Office of secretary
of the association. Richard J..
O'Hanlon, who has been m entioned
as possible candidate for the place,
says he will not be candidate. It is
also stated that possibly Andrew J..
Brown may not be candidate Miss
Williams has been very acceptable
secretary of the association and is
popular with the rank and file of
members.

BOTH HAVE TROUBLE
Justices McCarron and Donahue
Both Have Busy Times in
Their Courts Thursday
MUST HAVE CREDENTIALS

Justice Donahue is not from Mis-
souri,, but he has to be shown Just the
same and it is not his intention to
have any but properly accredited
parties representing Iitigants in his
court. The judge laid down a hard
and fast rule that all parties appear
ing IN his court must show the proper
credentials before they will be ad-
mitted to practice. The events which
led to this ruling all happened in con-
nection with the garnishee proceed
ings against the Raymond Wells com
pany. 1t seems that a man who gave
his name as Judge Newberry had been
mixed up in the preliminaries of the
case and when the same party ap.
peared under the name of Mysenburg
Thursday morning and asked for a
continuance the justice promptly took
an exception to the mans coming in
to his court under new name and as
Newberry or Mysenburg had no
credentials to show that he repre-
scented the defendants or any body
else he was told to go and get regu-
lar attorney known to the court to ap-
pear for him.
After considerable skirmishing At
torney Baker was finally secured to
appear for the defendant company,
and continuance was taken until
Saturday morning.
While all this was going on in one
court Justice McCarron was also bus
lily engaged in unfolding the majesty
of the law in the other. A man by
the name of Bogenski, who was being
sued for rent bill, ran amuck during
the trial of his case and threatened to
assault the complaining witness. His
action did not meet with the appro
va of the Justice, and he sent Bogen-
ski to jail for a few hours to cool off.
AS soon as he had been locked up
Bogenski became deeply penitent,
and pleaded for his release on any
terms. The Justice was easy on him,
and he was let off with lecture after
paying fine of ST. and costs on the
assault charge, and paying his back
rent with the costs of the original
suit.

TO RUN FAST TRAINS
Northwestern Road Expected to
Put at Least One Fast Train
on Milwaukee Run
WILL RE.ARDANGE SCHEDULE

A decided reaction has set in among
western railroad officials against the
move to lengthen the running time of
the passenger trains. 1t was limited
when the Milwaukee aud Northwest
ern roads enlightened the time of their
fast trains between Milwaukee and
Chicago to two hours that it was done
as sort Of retaliation for the 'exces-
sive" legislation which, the other
roads claimed, some of the states had
gone out of their way to pass.
Whatever may be said of the motive
it is now being made plain that the
roads are preparing quietly to restore
former fast time for their best trains.
Under this plan it is expected that be-
tween now and the new year the Mil
waukee and Northwestern will have
at least one train day, each way,
which will make the run between
Chicago and Milwaukee in from an
hour and half to an hour and three.
quarters.
1T would not be surprising if the
two roads would shortly put on fast
trains to cover the distance of eighty
five miles in ninety minutes, or an
even hour and half", explained one
official. "Both roads are in positions
with double track systems to do this.
The idea would be to have what may
be termed Business Mems Specials,
which would, of course, be pay trains,
as there are now no free rides given
to any one save actual employees or
railway people. Such a train on each
road every week day at least would
not only fill want but would pay the
! roads,"
It is probable that if any flyer is
put on the North Western that the
trains will make only two stops, those
at Racine and Kenosha, between Chi
cago and Milwaukee. 1t would be i'm
possibleto make more and keep to
the schedule planned.

PAY BIG BENEFITS

HEAD OFFICIALS MAY COME

The international Metal Polishers
Union is now paying benefits to the
men formerly employed at the plant
of the Badger Brass Works, and at
Wednesday afternoon strike benefits
to the extent of SO each were paid to
the men. 1t is declared that the
strike benefits to this amount will De
paid so long as the so-ca1led lockout
continues at the Badger Brass plant.
The members of the Union are now
holding daily meetings for the discus
sion of the trouble with the Badger
Brass company, and it is said that a
large sum of money has been raised
among the local labor organizations
for the support of the men. 1t is said
that the Union men consider the ac-
ton of the Badger Brass company in
the nature of a lockout, and it is
being treated accordingly.
1t is expected that officials
OF. the International Polishers Union
will come to Kenosha in the near
future, but it is distinctly stated
that no request for the services of
the International officers has been
asked by the men in Kenosha
The picketing of the Badger plant
is being continued, but the police de-
clare that up to the present time there
has been no violence.
The laboring men are little shy
about talking of the meetings of the
Trades and Labor Council and of the
executive committees of the union
and their actions are being held Sc
cret. The Po1ishers and Buffers In
ternatioual Union is said to be one of
the strongest bodies of organized la
Dor in the country and it is said that
strike benefits will be paid so long as
the men are out of work. Notwith-
standing this fact many of the men
preferring to work rather than re-
ceive benefits from any union have
gone to other cities and secured EN-
ployment
