RATE COMMISSION EN-
GINEERS FILE REPORT

A valuation of $3.50, 900 has been fixed
for the plant of the Manitowoc Gas
Co. by engineers of the State Rail-
way Commission, whose report has
Just been filed. The report estimates the
co,d of reproducing the present plant of
the company, new at $l72 900, thus max
ing an allowance of Sl3, 600 for deprecia.
tion of the works during the eight years
the plant has been in operation.
In the report filed by the engineers the
physical valuation of the plant only is
considered and the Commission will con-
slider demands of the company for "go-
ing value" before announcing final
valuation on the property. The valua-
tion of $3.50, 900 is within $1,000 of the
price paid by the present company when
it secured control of the property by pur-
chase two years ago.
The valuation of $3.50 600 is based up
on Investigation made by Rate Board
engineers only recently and covers the
plant in its present condition, embrac-
ing the Improvements which the new
Gas Co. has made since taking over the
property on its price of Sl6O, 900 These
improvements included the erection OF
a new gas holder which practical
ly doubled the capacity of the plant
1t is probable that the going val
ne would be considered by the com
mission to be equal to the amount OF
the improvements by the new company,
plus the $1,000 difference in price and
estimate.
No report has been filed by engineers
on physical valuation of the electic light
plant and because this report is not
ready the bearings slated to be held
Sept. 1919 on complaint against the
Electric Light and Gas Co. and on the
petition of the Gas Co. will be delayed.
1t is probable that the hearings will not
be held this month, it is said. City Atty.
Hougen, who has just returned from
Europe stopped at Madison enroute and
was told that the hearings would be ad,
journed from time to time until the
light plant report is ready. .-Manitowoc

Called BY Death.

1t is with feelings of deep sor-
row and regret that we chronicle
the death of a brother, William
Grove of Liberty, who departed
this life last Friday morning at
$50 o'clock. 1t is always sad to
stand in the presence of death but
when the one summoned is u
brother, a man of usefulness, the
father of a family and the en-
bodiment of all that is good in
human nature it is affective in a
high degree and leaves us with
bewildered mind and broken heart.
Death was due to an affection of
the spinal column, from which he
had suffered for five months. Ev-
erything that medical skill could
do for his relief was done all to no
purpose. The end was expected,
RS he had been sinking gradually
for several weeks, Despite the
pain he suffered he bore up well
and to the last was cheerful and
brave.
Mr.. Grove was born in the
town of Liberty in 1853, where he
resided all his life. He attended
the public school in his native
town and when he had grown to
manhood he secured a teachers
certificate and taught school in
this county for four years. He
then abandonded teaching and
purchased farm across the road
from the old homestead, on which
he resided until his death. He
was industrious and wide.awake
and made farming pay. He was
clerk of the school board for about
twenty years, and town clerk for
six years and was re elected to
that Office last spring.
VIM. Grove was married to Ell
len O'Shea June 81, 1888, who
together with five children sur
vive him. The children are Ger
aid. Francis, Isabel, Margaret and
Eleanor. He is also survived by
three brothers, Joseph, and James
of Milwaukee and +. S. Grove
of this city. Mr.. Grove was de
voted to his family and relatives
and they were devoted TO him.
He was an indulgent father, a
kind husband, an affectionate
brother, an honest man and good
citizen.
The funeral was held Monday
forenoon from st. Gregory's
church at S.. Nazianz. Rev.
Michels performed the last sad
rites. Peace to the soul of William
Grove.
The following from outside at
tended the funeral Mr. Ed Welsh,
and Mr.. John Reddin and daugh-
ter Miss Mary of New Richmond,
Mr.. Richard Welsh and Miss
Mamie Dunbar of Milwaukee, Mr..
John O'Shea, Mr.. William CAREY

The following extracts from the reso.
luton adopted by the N. Il. A. com.
piled in the current number of the
School Century are full of truth and
should be read carefully by both teach
ers and patrons:
We have not space for the full platform
of principles adopted in the resolutions
of the N. E. A., but we give the follow
ing five planks as being those of great
est Importance:
I'VE recommend the subordination of
highly diversified and overburdened
courses of study in the grades to a thoro
drill in essential subjects, and the sacri.
flee OF quantity to an Improvement of
the quality of instruction. The com
plants of business men that pupils from
the schools are inaccurate in results and
careless of details is criticism that
should be removed.
I'VE assert that the individuality of
the pupil should be carefully considered
to the end that he may be instructed in
the light Of his limitations and capacity.
We believe that the courses should be
adapted to the pupils, rather than tina,
pupils should be adapted to fixed courses
of study and an infie1ible system OF
grading.
The public high schools should moi
be chiefly fitting schools for higher
institutions, but should be adapted to the
general needs, both intellectual and In

dustrial, of their students and commun-
tiles, and we suggest that the higher in
stitutions may wisely adapt their courses
to this condition. We also suggest to
school boards and superintendent the
Importance of securing for their high
schools teachers who have not only
abundant scholarship but also success
full experience in teaching or efficient
and practical training in pedagogy.
There is concededly a grave moral
depression in our business and social at
mosphere. The revelations of the finan-
cial and legislative world for the past
two years denote too general acquies
cence in questionable practices and
standards. We earnestly recommend
training in morals and in business and
professional ethics that the coming gen.
GRAFTON of men Of affairs may have a
we'll developed adherence of unfair
dealing and discrimination. The es
tablishment Of the honor system in
schools and the ostrscism of the dishon
est or unfair pupil are commended rs a
partial means to this end.
The best service in teaching is Sc
cured by finding the individual best
fitted by training, experience and
meritorious service to the particular
place. The association therefore heart
lily approves merit system of promot
ing teachers and filing vacancies We
assert furthermore that the grounds
upon which teacher may apply for a
position are those of professional fitness

al and political arguments is deplorabe
in the teacher and serious menace to a
higher professional standard"
November 3, 1908, the electors of Wis
consin will vote upon the question OF
adopting an amendment to Section 10 Of
Article VIII OF the State Constitution.
This section, if amended, will read a,
