SCHOOL. DISCIPLINE.

Another matter which has much to
do with the child's future welfare is
the discipline maintained in school,
Children are sent to school to work
People invest money in buildings, equip
ment, etc, in order TO realize some
thing from the investment. Poor order
in school defeats the very purpose of its
establishment, Not only is valuable
time lost but bud habits are acquired
which always interfere with success
ful career.
One of the first lessons which child
should learn il obedience. This should
be taught in the home and continued in
school. The cnild who has everything
he wants, who is humored in every de.
sire, and who is considered by his par
ents az an acme of human perfection
can scarcely escape being spoiled.
A child who has been allowed to play
the tyrant in the home of course gets
into trouble very easily when he comes
into contact with other children.
Parents should be very careful about
taking the chidrens parts against the
teacher. II you think the teacher is
wrong, see him about it sometime, and
discuss the matter frankly. But do not
lose your temper and abuse the teacher
when the child comes home with n tale
Of WOO. To listen to every such report
and denounce the teacher in the pres
ence of the children il simply to encour-
age your child in untruthfulness, for
children will stretch the truth when
they find u listening ear, especially IL
they have II dislike for school work
Let us work together in this matter.
One of the lessons which needs TO be
taught IN our country is respect for
authority. Unless this respect is incul-
Gated in childhood through the home
aud the school, the chances are that il
will not be found in the future citizen in
his relation to the state and the nation.

BOILER WORKS TRANSFERRED.

The Manitowoc Steam Boiler Works
has been sold to Il new corporation COM
|posed of Charles West, L. E. Geer and
lElias Gunnell, all of whom are connected
with the Manitowoc Dry Dock Co. The
two concerns will now run under one
management. Negotiations for the deal
has been pending for some time. The
is private. 1t is said that
VIM Hess of the Boiler Works will re-
tain an interest in the new concern and
remain with the new company for the
present, at least. 1t is said that both
the Dry Dock and Boiler Works plants
will be enlarged and that more men
will be employed. The average num-
ber of men employed at the Boiler
Works is about 100.

Let us not despse the things learned
out Of school In fact, our schools
should correlate their work more with
outdoor experiences A more thorough
development would be the result. There
ought to be more outside arithmetic and
geography work. Physical geography

physics unable to recognize its princip

loses half its beauty when the reader is
unable to follow his spiritual guide and

There is growing belief that our
schools, especially those Of our cities,
are being overcrowded with bookish
subject matter. Let ia not make the
same mistake in our country schools.
Let us season our instruction with II
goodly portion of common sense Let
us teach children to see things as well as
to read books.

Economical Commodore.

It was the custom in the days Of
sur old navy for the men to bring to
the mast all worn-out articles which
were to be inspected, handed in, and
exchanged for new. The drummer

that the commodore felt sure he was
being imposed upon, and one day set
himself to watch while the band was
playing. AS one rafting martial air
followed another. his anger increased
perceptibly. until he burst forth in

SCHOOL INTEREST.

Let Us open our eyes TO the great op-
portunities before us. The world wants
young men and women of character and
ability. Every idler and every ignorant
person is II danger to the state. Let us
prevent these classes from forming by
giving the children the proper start
Teach the children to work. Teach them
to think. Teach them to be intelligent
citizens of the community. This re-
quires united effort on the part of all of
us. The man who has no children owes
~ much to his country in this respect IA
the one who has. Education is not
merely family affair it is an affair Of
the state. of which wa all are members.
Let us have our school meetings we'll
attended Let discussions be free. Plan
the work of the year early Be on the
lookout for the proper teacher for your
school. Enco urage the boys and girls
in your community in every possible
way. Encourage taem by your presence
at special exercises. Encourage them
by questions and suggestions regarding
their work Encourage them by making
'he school and school grounds place Of
beauty, Let that building in which
they spend so many impressionable years
be place of emo bling influences. Strive
TO make your school a first class school

EXPLANATION ISSUED FROM THE
WHITE HoUsE-PRESIDEN DE
sIREs COOPERATION IN PLANS
FOR LEGISLATION.

Washington, Nov. 10.-The Presi
dent will give big dinner at the
White House on November II, tt
which he invited nearly a dozen labor
leaders. The dinner is to be given il
honor of the labor leaders, but sew
eral Federal Judges will be invited
of the Presidents official family.
The Presidents idea of entertaining
the labor leaders is to secure their CO
operation and that of other leaders in
public thought in his plans for labor
legislation. He wants to bring about
a better understanding between labor
leaders and Judges respecting the
rights Of the laboring classes, espec-
tally in Injunction cases. 1t is known
that the President was very angry
over the attitude of certain Federal
Judges in labor cases some months
ago. He thinks that the issue made
on injuncdons in the recent Presiden-
tial election has left bad feelings
which ought to be remedied. This can

The most significant feature Of the
affair is the omission from the list of
invited labor representatives of Sam.

can Federation of Labor; Frank Nor.
rison, Secretary; John B. Lennon,
treasurer, and James O'Connor, third

MANY VOTERS SIGN IT.

New Paris, o.. Nov. 1O.-Petitions
are being circulated in every school

effort to secure signatures asking fer
a special election under the Rose coun-
ty local option law. 1t is expected rs
per cent of the voters will sign the
petition. Similar petitions are being
circulated throughout Preble county
in the effort to have it voted dry.
Those persons who are promoting
the petition proposition are confident
enough of signatures will be secured to
induce the commissioners to call the
election. After the call is issued the
real work will begin. has been the
history of such events in other cou-
ties that many men who will not sign
the petition will vote against the sa-
looms and on the other hand there is
number that will sign the petition,
but not vote against the saloons. A
determined fight is to be put on in
this county and it is expected the re-
suit will be close.
