The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1908-07-02

AT the graduation exercises last week
Prof. Keller gave utterance to some
thoughts that ought to be more com
mon in these days He mentioned the
fact that parents should be companions
of their children to greater extent
than is often the case. 1t is not enough
for parent to provide for the physical
needs of the child and let the school take
care of the intellectual needs The par
ents should enter the lives of their child
rem and live with them. The reason
why SO many children 90 astray is that
they have no companionship with the
parents and they have TO seek it else
where. They do not confide their Sc.
crets to their home friends but pick mp
acquaintance outside, the character of
whom is often questionable.

EDUCATIONAL.
BY w. Z. LARSON.
School meeting, Monday July g. Don't
fail to go. Let all who are Interested in
the progress of education be present.

The most responsible duty devolving
upon school board is the selection of
the teacher. To secure the proper per
son for this important work is by no
means an easy task. With the constant
Improvement of the schools more and
more is demanded of our teachers both
in scholarship and leadership.
While the system Of securing teachers
is not business like, let us do the best we
can under the circumstancoa In any
other kind of business an employer is
constantly on the lookout for good men
and makes bargain at any time of the
year even it may be ahead Of time. In
school affairs all employer do the work
simultaneously and it is but natural that
there should be some unwise selections
YET these things are changing fast
There are school officers in the county
who have had their eyes open for some
time looking for suitable teachers.
An unwise choice does not mean that
the one selected is poor teacher. Some
times u person will do excellent work in
the proper place. There are teachers
who will do good work with the little
ones who would not be able to handle n
large mixed school. All these things
should be taken into consideration in
selecting a teacher.
There are two general characteristics
that all teachers should possess: first, the
ability to keep good order in school and
make things go;' second, willing
ness to work. School teaching is not "a
snap, and no one who think. that al
most any one can teach a country
school should enter the field. In
the country school is just the place
where we need strong men and women
The country school is entitled to the
best talent we can secure, The boys
and girls in the country have Il right TO
demand a good thorough elementary ed.
ucation and we do not live up TO our
privileges unless we put it within their
reach. In the securing of the training
no other factor is of such Importance as
IA good strong inspiring teacher.

Abram Heaton Robertson. who has

governor of Connecticut, was born in
New Haven, Sept. 25, 1850. His faith
er was a former mayor of that city.
The younger Robertson received his
education at Yale and at the Columbia
University Law School. graduating
from the last-named institution in
1874 Soon after beginning the prac-
tice of law in his native city Mr.. Rob
ertson was elected to the Connecticut
general assembly and continued a
member of that body for several years.
Later he served several years as cor
poration counsel of the city. He is
regarded as a high authority on cor
poration law and also on the subject
of civil service as applied to munich
pal government. His nomination for
governor of Connecticut is not an en-
tirely new honor for him, as he was
candidate for the same office on the
democratic ticket four years ago and
was defeated.

A CONVERTED" CONVICT.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1903. by Edwin A. Nye.
.ehold, / show you a mysteryI

Behold, ] show you a mysteryI
The other day man stood in a Chi
cago station with a smile on his face
and holding in his hand ticket to
Michigan City, Ind. He was an es-
capped convict voluntarily going back
to prison.
The man said it was he.happiest day
of his life.
You do not understand how a man
the coarse fare and the degradation of
the penitentiary could be perfectly hap
by. Nor do /. That is the mystery.
This is the mans story:
A few months ago he had escaped
from the Indiana prison, fleeing to the
west. In western city he attended
street meeting of the Salvation Army
and was converted" He Immediately
started back to Indiana, stopping in
Chicago for day. A number of Chi
cago Salvationists went with him to his
train.
A dispatch to the Chicago papers next
day confirmed the story. The convict
promptly reported to the warden and
was put to work.
Understand the mystery?
No. 1t is because we know very little
about that strange spiritual alchemy
that transmutes the baser elements of
man into the pure gold. The mean
ing of the word converted is plain
enough-"turned around''-but one can
scarcely realize how a man may be re-
versed in motive and in purpose so that
he comes to love the things he once
hated and to hate the things he once
| loved. We only know the results of
the radical process.
And we can understand how, with
his new viewpoint of life, he could be
| happy. Although his only prospect
was that of the dismal years stretching
into the forbidding future, yet from
that appalling programme he could ex-
tract pleasure.
Why?
Because In the turning upside down
| of his nature this convict somehow had
come to realize the significance of real
freedom-that it is spiritual freedom.
| Penitentiary barriers might hold his
body in slavish bonds, but his soul
would be free-and happy.
And because he was glad TO pay to
the last full measure. the debt he owed
the state his conscience would be void
| of offense and there would come to him
the peace that passeth all understand
ing.

NOT AN IDEAL Man
Unfortunate Matrimonial Experience
of a Maiden of Forty Summers
From Iowa

Many an old bachelor and maiden
lady who has received shaft from
Cupid's bow beneath the fifth rib and
whose wooing has been received with
an icy indifference will tell you that
the best place to find relief is the mat
rimonial bureau. This is the counsel
taken by Miss Anna Smith of Mora,
la. She got tired of the prosiness of
single life and thought she would turn
it into lifelong strain Of harmony by
getting a husband through matrimon
ial bureau says the Little Falls
Transcript.
So Anna wrote long letter to an
agency telling them of her hopes and
aspirations.
She could not have been more than
10 years old for she was still looking
for an Ideal man." six feet tall, with
a bold brow, a cnurtly address and al
ways dressed with Immaculate taste
and possessing rare qualities of char
acter and business ability thrown in.
She never realized that "ideaI men,
seldom advertise for wives.
To make long story short she was
put into communication with Ernest
Bosh of Willard, a small town on the l.
F. & D., west of Little Falls. They
liked each other on paper and Bosh
sent her money to come to Willard
She came, she saw, she-returned-not
with her Ideal man" but still in
single blessedness.
She stopped in Little Falls on her
return. This time she wanted to tell
her troubles to a newspaper man in
stead of matrimonial bureau. She
said that when she got to Willard that
she was taken by Bosh's neighbors to
one OF their homes and Bosh was in
troduced to her He had procured a
marriage license and all was in readi-
ness for their wedding. But he was
not six feet tall and as for the rest ii
wasn't worth mentioning. So she
turned him down. And the neighbors
didn't seem to think it bad enough fol-
the man to get 'stung" for car fare
and marriage license but made him
put up the money for her fare home.
When in this city she said that she
would remain single the rest of her life
and never patronize a matrimonial
bureau again.
