CAP OF SEALSKIN.
Two Men Were Arrested Here This
Morning Trying to Sell the Arti-
cles on the Streets.

Two unknown men having the APP
pearance of hoboes were arrested this
morning by officer Hollis and Consta-
BILE Wild as they were attempting to
sell handsome sealskin cap and a fine
bearskin overcoat, and lodged in jail
on the charge of being Migrants, with
the idea Of holding the men until the
owner of the coat and cap can be To-
Gated
The men were about the streets at
a carly hour this morning, and Of
fered the cap and coat to several per-
sons at ridiculous figure. Their ac-
lions aroused the suspicious of the Of
ficers, who placed the men under ar
rest.
& The men came from the east over the
Baltimore & Ohio, arriving here on a
freight train at an early hour. They
claimed they had come from Charles
Town, and it is probable that the cap
and coat belong to ONE one residing
in that place. The men will be given
hearing in Justice Thompson's court
This afternoon at a late hour it was
learned that the names Of the men arc
Harry Smith and Francis Fry.

John Burger, Mrs. Rosa Gosslin and
Mrs. Theresa John, heirs of Elizabeth

court last January, securing verdict

ace to the child's success in life.
Habits of inaccuracy and slovenliness
are as dangerous to mental health as
tuberculin germs are to our physical
well being. Let us first of all teach the
child the practical things well. Encour-
age your children to strive for the high
est perfection possible. Have more
mental arithmetic. Talk with your
children about problems of your own
construction. Let them learn to figure
out your lumber bills, milk state
ments, and land areas. Find ont if they
can write ordinary business papers of
life such MS checks, bills, and notes.
In language let us also come down a
little. Too many children of the conn
ty are getting mental dyspepsia from
Swinton's Grammar. 1t is safe to say
that many children who try to get some,
thing ont of this book are worse than
wasting their time, time that could be
put protitably into other work. We have
been too eager to get the children into
grammar, forgetting that grammar is a
subject which can only be understood
after the reasoning power has been fairly
well developed.
What should the child be taught ?
Here are some things:
1.) "A child should be taught to stand
up and talk correctly, such as telling
story, describing an object, recit-
ing intelligently on suitable topics in
any of the subjects studied
(2) He should be taught to write up
in good English, such matter AZ he can
tell orally. As he learns to write and
spell this written work should be carried
on more and more.
(3.) He should learn to write letters
in such way that they should be ex-
amples of neatness, concisenesd and &C
curacy.
a. He should be taught to observe
and to give the results of his observa
tions in good English. In brief, he
should be taught to think and 10 express
the results of his thinking in good
language, oral and written.
Will filling a ten year old child with
verbs, adjectives and propositions ac-
complish this? There comes time
when the study of grammar may well be
taken up, but let us learn to talk and
write decent English first.

EDUCATIONAL.
BY w. E. LARSON.

To THE PEOPLE OF MANITOWoC
COUNTY:
To realize the greatest good from our
schools it is necessary that teachers, pm.
pills, parents, and school boards all work
together.
We are now at the close of another
school year and we are reminded that
we must plan for the year to come. To
outline policy and to give suggestions
in school matters is the purpose of this
little circular and it is hoped that it
may unity our efforts in accomplishing
the greatest possible good.
Let us first set it down as our duty as
citizens of today tc do all we can to pre-
pare our children to become worthy cit
izens of tomorrow. Let us make our
schools places where they can be pre-
pared to do efficiently their duties, in
dustrially politically, and socially.
Having done what we can to make our
schools efficient, we must next look af-
tel the attendance, for no matter how
good the schools, the children can not
progress when the attendance is ire
gular.
