schools have been transformed from
places of confinement and chilling dis

The spread OF social settlement ideas
has been amazing. People were wait

and express their fellow feeling in a
practical way. Everybody is benefited
in social settlement group, the work

class to whom they go as missionaries.
By keeping in touch with the people

The people of the town of Pleasant
Prairie are showing a most progressive
spirit in going ahead with the CON
struction Of another stretch of first
class road and it is to be hoped that
the good example of this town will
soon be followed by others in the
county The two roads built by this
town under the supervision of the
state engineer are just the sort of an
object lesson that is needed. Pleas
ant Prairie is also showing good judg-
ment in going ahead and building what
first class highways it can with the
money that it has to expend on road
work and not frittering it away any
longer on what at the best can be but
temporary improvements. If that sys-
tenn had been followed all through the
county in years past we should not now
be confronted with the necessity Of ex-
pending considerable sum on road
work In the next few years to keep
tins country on par with its neigh
bors in the matter of first class public
highways. We have been waiting until
we could do something big in road
work instead of doing little at a
time and in consequence have never
gotten started in the right way and
have dribbled away little by little
more than enough money to give this
county the best roads in the state.
There are signs, however, that the
farmer is waking up to the economic
value Of good roads and that he is
about prepared to tackle the problem Of
getting them in earnest. Should the
legislature pass a good roads bill that
will divide the cost of this class of
public improvements. as it should be
divided, part on the state, part on the
county as Whole-the cities and
towns should pay their fair share for
they certainly share in the benefits
as it was empowered to do by the
amendment to the state constitution
which was approved by the people by
an overwhelming vote at the last cleo
ton we believe that there will be lit
tie opposluon to an extensive scheme
for highway Improvement in this
county.

The arrest of two Chicago men, on
Sunday on a charge of illegal fishing
is the first of the season, but prob
ably it will take several more to con-

sorts around the county that there are
game laws in this state and that they
are made to beJobeyed. A great many
men of more than ordinary intelligence
who would never think Of running
counter to the laws and ordinances of
their home cities and states appear to
believe that they are privileged to do
pretty much as they please as soon as
they cross the line into Wisconsin, but
a little activity on the part of the
game wardens will soon convince them
of. their errcr and as the fact that this
state is making an unusual effort to
enforce its game laws has been pretty
we'll advertised, the men. who are
caught in the act Of Illegal fishing have
a poor excuse when they plead ignor
apce Of the law. Furthermore, the re-
sort keepers who permit their guests
to rob the lakes and who fail to sup
port the efforts Of the game wardens
to suppress Illegal fishing are following
a very short sighted policy, for the
future prosperity of their resorts de-
Ponds on the fishing. in large measure

FAREWELL TO FORMS
VAN DYKE PLAY MONDAY NIGHT

The crowds attending the annual
commencement exercises at Kemper
Hall were greatly augmented this
morning when the parents of many of
the younger students at the hall came
to Kenosha to attend the annual exer-
cises of the preparatory department.
Little commencement is always one of
the most interesting events of COM
mencement week. The exercises of the
preparatory department held in the
Simmons gymnasium this morning were
Of very interesting character and
more interesting than any other exer
cises of the week to Kenosha people on
account of the fact that several Ke
nosha young ladies took part. The
farewell to the forms was given by
Miss Norma Hauser.
This afternoon the annual exercises
of the music department were held and
program Of high merit given. Miss
Florence EDDY was the representative
of the Kenosha students at the com
meneement Of the music school. On
Sunday the annual baccalaureate ser
mon was preached at st. Peter IS Chapel
by the Rev. Alfred Griffin, chaplain at
the hall.
Monday evening brought one of the
most interesting feature of the week
when the Kemper Hall Dramatic Club
gave the first production of new play
by Henry Van Dyke entitled "The
House of Rimmon'' All of the char
acters were taken by members of the
club and the piece was put on with a
scenic investment which made it a
notable production.

THEIR DEAD TO AID GREAT WORK
Kenosha School Teachers To Aid
in Gathering Facts About For.
ests in This Part of Country
GREAT NATIONAL MOVEMENT

Teachers in Kenosha and throughout
the country have been invited by the
United States Forester to cooperate
with the Forest service in an effort
to obtain more definite knowledge of
the characteristics of the most import
ant forest trees of the United States.
To do this it will be necessary to OBJ
tain large number of volunteer OBJ.
servers who will collect material on
the time of leafing, poisoning, and
fruiting of the various kinds of forest
trees. In his letter inviting the CO.
operation of the teachers, Forester
Pinchot says:
knowledge of this kind is greatly
needed and will be of value from the
standpoint both of education and of
practical forestry. For educational
purposes the results obtained for each
species, averaged and presented graph
cally by means of colored charts, will
be available to all who are interested
in the subject, and particularly to
schools. They will form virtual
"tree CALENDARS and will be valu-
able aids to nature study.
"Children can readily be interested
in the actual work of obtaining
records. This should form an attrac-
tive outdoor feature Of the school
work that should serve to develop the
faculty of accurate observation, and at
the same time to promote an interest
in forestry which may lead to a bet
ter appreciation of it's aims and
methods. 1t may also prove to be
profitable addition to botany courses
for older students.
GA study of this kind will be of
great value to practical forestry, since
the proper treatment of forests de-
ponds partly upon knowledge of these
characteristics of trees. For exam.
pie, the time of the year at which a
tree leafs out and blossoms is one of
the indications as to whether or not it
is frost-hardy in a given region, and
the length Of time that tree is in
leaf influences the growth it is able to
make during the season. knowledge
of the time when seeds of each species
ripen in various localities is of great
value to those who are collecting seed,
since seed often deteriorates or is eaten
by squirrels and birds if not gathered
and stored as soon as ripe.
"Another result Of this study will
be more intimate knowledge of elm
ate as manifested by plant growth, for
differences in climate are shown by
plant life as well as by instruments,
and a preliminary idea can thus be
gained as to whether given region is
suited to valuable tree which it is
desired to introduce there. Many such
examples could be given, but sufficient
has been said to show that the results
of these observations will be real
help to practical forestry, in addition
to their general interest and education
al value. Volunteers will later be
supplied with publications and charts
containing the information they help
to gather, as return for the services
rendered.

Few people in Kenosha realize to
what proportions the summer resort
business done in this country has
grown during the past few years or
how much money the summer visitors
leave behind them. This city gets
very little benefit from this class at
present, but there are many locations
in the immediate vicinity of Konosha
where resorts of high class would
prove profitable investments and they
will be taken up before long.

A number of pronertY owners hay

a NUMBER OF property owners have
inquired why the work of paving Mar
ket street west of the railway tracks
is not stopped until it is settled who
is to pay the bills, but it would not
be possible for the city to take this
step. The contract for the street had
been let by the Council before the
protests Of the property owners on the
street came IN IN their present form
and the contractor is very naturally
carrying out his part Of the bargain
and there is no way to stop him even
if the city cared to take such a radical
step. The contract is regular and the
city can be held for the work.

Worthy Of Recognition

In Washington on Saturday last
twenty nine graduates of the Army
Medical School were given their diplo-
mas by Secretary of War Dickinson,
who, after congratulating the young
physicians upon their school records,
said:
The profession that you have Sc
lected is most honorable one. It's
history is full OF noble deeds, and |
hope to see the day when our national
parks VIII contain monuments of the
men Of your profession who have given
their lives in the interest of their
country
Secretary Dickinson briefly touched
upon matter which is worthy of deep
consideration. The country never has
given full recognition to the services
Of the physician in civil life who in
time of plague has done his duty I'M
I1inchingly in the face of death. The
army surgeon, VINO in his work of saw
ling dares death for himself on the bat
tie fields, also never has been given his
/ full need of recognition. The line
officer who performs an act of con
spicuous personal gallantry is much
more likely to have his heroism remem-
bered than is the surgeon who, a non
combatant and perhaps defenseless,
does his duty by the wounded, friend
and foe alike.
One surgeon Of the government SER
vice voluntarily risked his life to, prove
the source Of a disease and to find its
cure He died as sacrifice to his
sense of duty. Today his widow and
eight minor children are eking out an
existence upon the all-insuficient pen
sion which the government has provid-
ed. There have been physicians in
civil life and in the army life just as
deserving Of monuments as were some
Of the soldiers Of the line who long ago
were remembered in stone or bronze.

The Austin bill which provides for
Ia Commission of five members to have
full power over all licenses granted in
the state, has passed the assembly con
trary to the expectations of the wise
ones at Madison and the prospects
that the bill will now become law
are said to be good. An amendment
which provided that the cities, towns
and villages should retain the rights
they now have to revoke licenses fail
ed and in case the bill becomes a law
the full power is vested in the Com
mission. 1t is not necessary to point
out that this Commission will be one
sof the most powerful bodies ever Great
ed in this state and that the success or
failure of this wide departure from
long established methods Of handling
this license question depends entirely
upon the character of the men selected
to serve on it. 1t would be possible
with the power given the Commission
to clean out every dive in the state
in two years.

If the police are going to regulate
the sale of dangerous fireworks in the
city this Fourth of July the dealers in
this class of goods should be given no
tice to that effect before their supplies
are shipped in here. Should the deal
ers be unfortunate enough to lay in
a large stock Of toy pistols, cannon
fire crackers, dynamite bombs, etc.. the
temptation to sell them in defiance of
Iany police regulations is apt to be
stronger than some of them can with
stand. The enforcement Of the laws
against the sale of the dangerous ex
posives will undoubtedly cut down the
roll Of the dead and wounded of the
annual celebration and in time public
sentiment is going to demand the
strictest enforcement of these laws,
but by the exercies Of little fore
thought matters can be so arranged
that the protection of the public on
the national holiday need not result in
loss to anybody.
