DodgeviIie Chronicle Sold.

Last Friday the above named paper
came out with the announcement of a
change in proprietorship. Mr.. A. 5.
Hearn, who has been at the helm of the
Chronicle for thirty-three and half
years. gracefully retires crowned with
success as country publisher, but not
rewarded financially, tbs surmised, to
the same extent as would be the same
untiring perseverance and zeal applied
to any other honorable vocation. There
is something strange in why such con-
disions surround the conducting of what
is termed country newspaper.
The writer has been with the Tribune
fully as long as Brother Hearn has been
guiding the destinies of the Chronicle,
and can say with pleasure that as a
neighbor and competitor we have never
found him without soul, but one who
was ever ready to render valuable coun-
Gil and help; hence, we can but feel the
pang of regret because of his retire
ment, and we hope with all sincerity
that whatever path he chooses to trod in
the future may be lined with bliss and
abundance.
The new proprietors of the Chronicle
are j. M. Reese, of the First National
Bank of Dodgeville, and T. E. Bray,
present superintendent of county
schools. They are in the prime of life
ard energetic and should succeed con-
sidering the splendidly established bust
ness they have for foundation. To
them the Tribune extends the hand of
friendship and good will.

Secret Societies In nigh Schools.

Under the above heading the Miwau-
kee Journal gives forth the following
logical utterances:
"Why should high school have Sc
cret societies? Are they necessary to
the social life or the well being of the
students? Do they make the school life
pleasanter for the great majority? Do
they advance the cause of education
and scholarship?
'rThe impression of prominent educa-
tors throughout the country seems to
be that they are anything but aids to
high school life. The National Educa-
ton association investigated the matter
and in a meeting in 1905. resolved
against all such secret societies because
! they are subversive of the principles
of democracy which should prevail in
the public schools; because they are
| selfish and tend to narrow the minds
and sympathies of the pupils; because
they stir up contention; because they
are snobbish; because they dissipate en-
ergy; because they set up wrong stan
dards; because they bring politics into
the legitimate organization of the
school, and lot of other 'becauses.
personal expressions from the prin-
cipals of various high schools confirm
the findings of the association. A ma
iority of boys and girls of high schools
where fraternities and sororities exist
are socially ostracised and, in many
cases, are kept from taking part in
class affairs. Class spirit has become
secret society spirit, debating and liter
airy societies have weakened and disap-
peared, and the best socially democratic
activities of school have given way to
the domination of cliques.'
