All high schools OF the state includ

Of the high school to be equal to that
recommended by the state superinten-
dent of public instruction, and that this
course of study be gived in satisfactory
manner. The graduates of such an APP
proved school will be received by the
university without examination on the
presentation of a certificate showing
the satisfactory completion of fourteen
required unit courses and containing
the recommendation of the principal.
Manual training will hereafter be cred
tied as one unit toward entrance and
the student will be permitted to pre-
sent one unit of optional study. Com
mercial subjects to the extent Of one
unit will also be permitted as a part of
the required work for entrance. History
and science have been removed from
the list Of subjects required of all and
henceforth will be optional. Spanish
will be credited entrance and two years
of Latin will likewise be accepted.
These changes meet with the approval

DOn'f Cross Your Legs.

Seated with large number of pas
sengers on Waukesha car going west
on Grand avenue, DIR. A. II. Barber,
connected with the Kelley institute in
Waukesha. noted that many passengers
sat with one leg crossed over the other.
He made comment upon tbs habit,
which he said is nowadays almost as
common among women as men. He ut
tered warning, saying: This appar-
emily harmless habit is likely to cause
sciatica, lameness, chronic numbness,
ascending paralysis, chramps, varicose,
veins, and their evils. The reason is
simple The back of the knee as well as
the front of the elbow and wrist, the
groin and the armpit, contains nerves
and blood vessels which are less pro-
tected than those in other parts of the
body. The space behind the knee con-
tains two large nerves, large artery
and numerous veins and glands. 1t is
the pressure on these nerves and YES
sells which is apt to give rise to the var
ious troubles against which give
warning.

respectfully asked to note the following
found in the Two Rivers Chronice, a

There is but one man in the state
whom the Republicans can select who
win ill the place as ably and as salts
factorily as Spooner, and that is Rep
resentative Cooper Of Racine. He is just
as capable as Spooner intellectually and
he has never been accused or suspected
of being a corporation tool, either pro-
fessionally or politically Wisconsin has
