the HEARING BEFORE
RATE COMMISSION.

From 10 to 25 per cent of the physi,
cal valuation is the basis of figuring in
estimating the going value of plant
operating in city of from 10000 to -,
900 population"
This statement, made by E. H. Mead,
expert engineer, as a witness before the
State Rate Commission in the matter of
the hearing on the valuation of the
Manitowoc Water Works Co., should it
be accepted by the Commission, means
that an allowance of from $50, 900 to
So, 900 will be made in the valuation OF
the property Of the company for the 60
ing value, established business of the
concern, and that the final valuation to
be fixed by the Rate Commission viii be
anywhere from $229 900 to $261, 600, in
round numbers, if the Commission ac'
cepts the report Of its engineers on the
physical valuation of the property with
ont change,
That the courts have, in at least one
case, allowed rs going value sum
equal to the physical valuation OF the
property, was the statement of the wit
ness who is admittedly one of two fore
most authorities on water plant valua-
ton, and in support of this statement
Mr.. Mead cited decisions in the case of
Valparaiso, Ind, which was forced to
pay the water company the same valua'
tion for going value that bad been fixed by
appraisers for physical value. Mr. Mead
laid it down as a generally accepted prop
osition however that from 10 to 25 per
cent of physical value was reasonable.
The term Of franchise does not affect
this point, said the witness.
The request of the Rate Commission
for additional estimates was the reason
for postponement of the hearing which
will be resumed within two weeks, says
City Atty. Hougen, who returned Fri
day evening. Engineer Mead was on the
witness stand at adjournment and had
not been cross examined and he will

hearing is re.opened. The city may in
troduce additional testimony also.
That the Rate Board engineers made
a most complete investigation of the
plant was evidenced in the testimony
that was brought out in the hearing
and, according to Mr.. Hougen, the
Commission is in possession Of all in
formation that could possibly be de-.
sired. The hearing has been completed
except relative to the going value and
it appears from the attitude of the Com
mission, that this is to be recognized as
an element of value in the report. City
Atty. Hougen is preparing to combat
this in so far rs possible.
AS previously stated the Water Co is
raising its chief objections to the report
of the engineers on water supply, wells
and on depreciation on its pumping sta.
tion Fire Chief Kratz appeared for
the city relative to the condition of the
plant and the distributing system and
service. -Manitowoc Herald

Last Saturday Manltowoc had the op
portunity of hearing something that
was good 1t is seldom that teacher
can be found who can interest both
teachers and on.teachers, but Prof
Vincent is certainly such man.
In the afternoon Mr.. Vincent spoke
on the subject Social Types and Educa-
| ton In his discourse he showed how
| society by its attitude determines the
education necessary at any period of
time. A line of work is unpopular; few
take it up. Society offers inducements
for people to enter into it by offering
higher wages or raising this type of
work to Il higher recognition, To pre-
pare individuals for this higher service
special training is needed. This special
training is put into the curriculum of
some school and becomes part of the
educational system. Thus society 10y
putting mp types is continually de.
termining the educational standards of
every age.
In the evening Mr.. Vincent spoke on
the subject Children versus Grown
ups" He showed first how all mankind
lives in groups and that each group has
held together by bonds of common in
! terest and to deviate from the standards
| and regulations Of the group is TO incur
the displeasure and even the hatred of
the other members of the group. The
offender becomes traitor to his com
rades and is so regarded by them.
! Children, like grown ups, are in
groups. They have standards of their
own. Their feelings and their interests
are very different from those of adults.
This is a fundamental consideration in
their bringing up and should be kept in
mind by those who have them in charge
! The groups have leaders Therefore
there are to be found among children
those who display qualities of leader
ship. Winning Il leader means winning
all who are under his influence,
sympathy with childhood is one of
the essentials in the bringing up of chill
dren. To capture group you must be
one of the group, You must be able to
share their joys and their SORROWS You
must enter into their very lives If you
cannot do this there cannot be that feel
ing of mutual sympathy which is SO
essential to influence "A child to higher

The Mid Winter Commencement OF
the North Side High School was held in
the assembly room last Monday evening.
A class Of four was graduated Francis
Symes, Agnes Kruger, Leola Cary, and
Oscar Richter,
Each of the graduates had a part in
the program. Agnes Kruger gave a

cellent Leola Cary gave an account of
Emerson and his works. The character
of the man, his power of intellect and
his high ideals of life were the principal
subjects dwelt upon
Oscar Richter spoke on the foreign in
huence on American university life. He
showed that most Of the students that
go abroad 90 to the German univer4i-
ties, and that we are being influenced
more by that nation than any other.
Francis Symes gave II presentation on
the nature and propagation Of sound
illustrating hia talk with experiments
In presenting the diplomas Prof Kel
Ter made an appeal for higher scholar
ship. He showed that when it comes TO
thoroughness in any one subject the
American student does not come up to
the student of Europe In America
there is not that strife for intellectual
mastery that there should be While the
aim of all school work sbould be TO fit
the student for the duties of life, yet
there should be higher regard for that
thoroughness that is essential to make a
nation Of strong intellectual minds.
