Will AID THE PRESS
Wisconsin University To Offer
Coursesin Journalism for De.
veIopment OF Reporters
TO OFFER PRACTICAL WORK

Two new courses are to be added to
the work in preparation for journalism
at. the State University, the fourth
year of which opens Sept. 20. Add,
tional training win be given in an ad,
vaneed course in newspaper writing and
in course in current political and
economic subjects. An important addi-
tion has been made to the equipment
Of the department in the form Of over
1000 well written news and special
feature stories selected from the lead
ling newspapers throughout the country.
The collection includes a number of
reports of the same events as they ap-
peared in different papers and thus Of
fers valuable material for the compari-
son Of methods Of newspaper report
ing.
In the class in newspaper writing
the methods used are intended to de-
velop in the students the ability to see
the interesting and important elements
in the news Of the day, and to describe
them in CLEAR, concise and fluent Eng
ish Early in the year all the mem
bers Of the class are assigned to report
some event that is to take place before
the. next recitation. These :" stories =
are corrected by the instructor, and q
number Of typical reports are discussed
in class as to their merits and faults,
Students soon learn to write concise,
readable reports of a variety Of events.
Later they are given practice in report
| ing speeches, lectures, and addresses,
and in obtaining interviews.
The fact that the university has all
| its technical schools grouped together
on one campus has made it possible to
develop courses adapted to those pre-
pairing for technical or trade journalism
The students in the college of medicine,
law, engineering and agriculture, and
those in the course in commerce, music
and pharmacy, can readily pursue the
| training courses in journalistic writing
| if they wish. Several students Of
agriculture have combined this work
with their course in order to fit them
selves to write for agricultural papers
| By combining studies in commerce
agriculture, engineering, and other
technical studies with those in prepare
| tion for journalism, students can obtain
the necessary preparation for practical
| ~ all lines Of technical and trade

CHILD LABOR DECREASING
Report for the Past Six months Shows
Few Children Employed

/ County Judge R. H. ASlosson this
morning forwarded to, Madison his
semi annual report of the number IF
permits to child laborers in Kenosha
county and this report shows that the
number of children working in Kenosha
factories is being rapidly diminished
The report covers the SIX months period
from November l, 1907, to July |, 1908
and it shows that in tnat time only 375
permits were issued to children between
the ages Of IA and 16 years. Of this
number 234 were issued to boys and
14l to girls. There have been scarcely
any permits issued for children under
the age Of IA, the total number being
8. Of this number eight were to boys
and one to girl, Judge Slosson has
practically stopped the issue Of per-
mfts to children under fourteen years
and he will not give such permits ex-
cept in extreme cases and then only
when the chilu is within few days
of fourteen years of age. The court
has declined to issue more PERMITS than
were issued during the six months.

ELLERY's BAND COMING

In the coming visit to this city of
the great Ellery Band, under the aus
pieces of the Kenosha Lodge of Elks,
the music lovers will enjoy treat Of a
high order. They will hear an organi-
zation whose training has brought it
as near perfection as such things can
be brought. They will hear a band
that does not sound like other bands
and that occupies a position between
band, an orchestra and an organ.
The tone quality produced by Mr.. D.
uirolamo from his men is something
almost sensuous in its beauty. The
listener seems to be fairly bather in
"a concourse Of sweet sounds at
times and feels himself transported to
a realm where only things that are
beautiful find harboring. In this
band, there are none of those brassy
sounds that compel you to stop your
ears for fear Of splitting their drums;
all is oft, round, velvety and even in
moments Of intense passionate fortissi-
mo, the lovely tonal balance is never
lost and while the enormous volume
Of sound may fairly make the walls
tremble, the general effect is one Of
magnificent thrill instead of nerve
racking shudder.

The late panic disclosed a lack of
elasticity in our financial system. This
has been Professionally met by an act
of the present Congress permitting the
issue of additional emergency bank
notes, and insuring their withdrawal
when the emergency has passed by a
high rate of taxation. It is drawn in
conformity with the present system Of
bank note currency, but varies from it
in certain respects by authorizing the
use of commercial paper and bonds of
good credit, as we'll as United States
bonds, as security for it's redemption. It
is expressly but a temporary measure
and contains a provision for the APP
pointment Of currency commission
to devise and recommend a new and
reformed system of currency. This
inadequacy of our present currency
system, due to changed conditions and
enormous expansion, is generally recog-
nized. The Republican platform well
states that we must have a "more
elastic and adaptable system to meet
the requirements of agriculturists,
manufacturers, merchants and business
men generally must be automatic in
operation, recognizing the fluctuations
in interest rates., - in which every dol
lar shall be as good as gold and which
shall prevent, rather than aid, financial
stringeney sslr.,4slng on a panic.
In addition to this, the Republican
platform recommends the adoption of
a postal savings bank system in which,
of course, the government would be-
come responsible to the depositors for
the payment of principal and interest
1t is thought that the government
guarantee will bring out of boarding
places much money which may be
turned into wealth producing capital,
and that it will be great incentive
for thrift in the many small places in
the country having now no savings
bank facilities which are reached by
the Postoffce Department. It will
bring to every one, however remote
from financial centers, place of per,
feet safety for desposits, with interest
return. The bill now pending in Con
gress, which, Of course, the Republican
convention had in mind, provides fol
the investment of the money deposited
in national banks in the very places
in which it is gathered, or as near
thereto as may be practicable. This is
an answer to the criticism contained in
the Democratic platform that under
the system the money gathered in the
country will be deposited in Wall street
banks, The system Of postal savings
banks has been tried in SO many coun
tries successfully that it cannot be re
garded longer as a new and untried ex
pertinent. -Taft's speech Of acceptance.
