Overcome by gas, Frank Rose an en-
ploye of the Manitowoc Gas company
had narrow escape from asphyxiation
Tuesday morning while he was at work
with crew of men making repairs to a
gas main leading into the Toledo House

think it necessary to come to the surface
occasionally to get a supply of fresh air.
He was told by his fellows to come out
of the trench and just as be refused, he
toppled over and was pulled out with
difficulty, the men who went down after
him being also affected by the fumes.
Mr.. Rogers Of the Toledo House finally
went to their assistance and the man

AN APPEAL FOR SIGNATURES.
TO THE CITIZENS OF
MANITOWOC COUNTY:

The Manitowoc County Hunting &
Fishing Association desires to change
the hunting and fishing laws, especially
rs they relate to Manitowoc county.
The association wants the law to apply
the same in all waters of the county
with no favors to any one locality. We
want the farmer and the city man TO
have exactly the same privileges with
no favors to either. The state legisa.
ture has passed some laws which make
determinations between localities and
the association is circulating petition
for signatures for the purpose of pre-
senting it to the Legislature and asking
them to repeal these laws and giving all
persons the same privileges in hunting
and fishing. 1t was for work along
these lines that the association was in
part formed.
We want the legislature TO allow the
use of dip nets in all rivers and streams
in the same manner as they are now al.
lowed for three miles from the shore
line in steams flowing into Lake Mchi
gan.
We want to change the law which
prohibits the use of certain set lines or
nets in the Manitowoc river and which
is allowed in all other rivers and
streams.
Much complaint is made that Septem.
Der first is too soon to begin the hunt
ing season. For some time after that
date hunters are an annoyance to the
farmers and besides the game is too
young for shooting and we therefore
desire to extend the time of the closed
season for hunting rabbits and squirrels
to October first
For these reasons we have prepared a
petition asking for such changes, for
presentation at the next session of the
legislature. The proposed changes in
the game laws are of interest to every
sportsman and of special benefit and in.
terest to every farmer. We hope that
the same will meet your approval and
that you will have no hesitancy in sign
ing the same.
Dated this 18th day of May, A. d.,

The above questions were the ones MS
ed last month for the Course of Study
examination.
Question No. | is taken from page
132 of the Manual where the problem
is worked out by the shortest method.
The depth of the tank, however, is !
foot instead of II feet. Some pupils are
not Taught how to put down the work
neatly and concisely. No pupil should
require more than seven minutes for
this problem.
No tests the pupils mastery of the
principles of percentage and their appli.
cation in every day problems Since
every thing comes out in whole mum
bers pupil ought to finish the problem
in seven minutes.
No 3 tests pupils power of imagi
nation and reasoning. Common sense
and Il mastery of fractions are necessary
for the working of this problem. Seven
minutes ought to be the limit to the
time required.
Ia No three samples used were:
/, A joist 2xS.
2 A ten-inch board.
3. A shingle.
The problem tests pupils ability to
make ont ~ bill and to write a note
properly, besides testing his practical
knowledge of lumber Too often work
of this kind is only book work. A pu-
pil learns certain rule but when put to
test cannot tell scantling from u board,
or plank from piece of timber We
need more object work. Contact
with the real thing is necessary to dew
elop the pupils judgment. Common
sense is the result of handling things.
No 8 represents a kind of problems
which we should pay special attention
to in this county one farmer said,
My boy is working stocks and bonds
in school but he can't figure ont my
milk report" If I. school exists for any.
thing it is certainly for the purpose of
teaching the children to do the ordinary
problems of life intelligently Reduced
to the simplest terms this problem reads
like this:
If Abb pounds of butter fat bring
Sl2S3.3l, how much will Mr.. A receive
for 5l3G pounds of milk 81 per cent of
which is butter fatY The dairy business
like all other industries uses certain
terms which must be understood With
the phraseology understood these prob,
lens are based on the same general prin.
cipes that we use in all other common
arithmetic work.
