LONGER SCHOOL TERM
Schools Receiving State Aid Must
Be in Session at Least Eight
Months in the Year
SEVERAL DISTRICTS ARE HIT

Several districts of Kenosha county
and the state which share in the state
funds disbursed to schools are re-
quired, under a new law, which has
been signed by the governor and is
now in force, to provide for eight
months Of school in the district. This
is an increase Of one month in the
time of the sessions under the old law.
The new law will affect several dis
tricts in this county and in some it is
said will not meet favor. It will mean
an additional expense to the school
district with no especial return, as the
amount of state aid collected will not
be increased.
The new law for the certifcation of
teachers under county superintendent
provides many radical changes over
the old system. A third grade certi-
fcate will no longer be issued to the
same person more than three times,
ana IN additlon 10 the customary ex-
animation the teacher must attend
some training school for at least six
weeks. This certificate may be re-
newed not more than twice by six
weeks attendance at some training
school for teachers. The subject of
Algebra is dropped from the require
ment for the second grade certificate
and it may be renewed by attendance
upon some training school for six
weeks. A first grade certificate. be-
comes permanent after ten years of
successful teaching, when it is re-
hewed without examination.

Many People Declare Themselves
A ainst Granting Gas Franchise
To Proposed Company
TEARS UP TOO GANY STREETS
People Claim That Competition in Gas
is Not Needed With Rates
Now offered by Gem"
pany in Kenosha

While the proposed ordinance for
the granting Of franchise to supply
gas in the city has not as yet reached
the dignity Of being presented to the
Common Council, members of the Coun-
Gil arc already being urged by property
owners against the passage of the pro
posed ordinance. This opposition is
not based on anything that may be in
the ordinance for as yet the facts in
regard to il have not been made pub
lie more than the fact that it is pro
posed by company of Pittsburg CAPT
tahsts and that the price Of gas under
the ordinance is to be placed at $1.l0
per thousand feet for all sorts Of
service. The objection is being raised
on account Of the fact that the installa-
tion of a gas plant in the city and the
system of pipes which would be needed
to carry the gas to different parts of
the city would demand the tearing up
Of hundreds of yards of paved streets.
While the company could be forced to
place mains in the alleys in some places
there would be many places where it
would be necessary to plough down the
middle of the paved streets and at
every point where connection was
put in it would be necessary to dig
up the pavement as it is certain that
the present gas company would not per
nit any new company to take posses
sion Of service pipes put in in past
years
The Kenosha Gas and Electric Com
pany has taken no move to prevent the
coming of the new company and in
fac5 the company has not even taken
steps to surrender the franchise under
which it is supplying gas to the city
and ask for an indeterminate permit.
1t does not seem to think that the he
roic measure adopted in sitting the
budding competition on the part of the
kenosha Electric Railway Company is
necessary in this case.
Manager Kimball, in speaking Of the
matter said: emo practical man with
an understanding of the conditions
would build a gas plant in Kenosha at
this time and we are not wasting any
slsep worrying over the passage OF the
proposed ordinance The rates we
have offered the people for gas are as
low as they could be placed and we are
convinced that no company can come
into Kenosha and make gas at, any
cheaper rate. - Mr. Kimball insists
that the rates now being charged by
the Kenosha Gas and Electric Company
are lower than the rates proposed by
the new company The old claim to
an exclusive franchise given by the
legislature is not being urged by the
company now in the gas business and
in fact they seem to be perfectly will
ing to have the Council pass the gas
grant ordinance if it sees tit.
AS the ordinance will not be before
the Council for another week at least
and as it would have to be published
and given two readings before it could
be passed the old company will have
plenty of time to lay its wires and
under the amendments to the public
utilities law it will have until the first
of July to surrender its franchise and
accept an indeterminate permit.

SEEK STATE MONEY
Historical Museum at Madison
May Be Aided in the Work
Planned by Legislature
LARGE FUND STILL NEEDED

The Wisconsin Archaeological Society
which during the last ten years has
taken the lead in urging establishment
of public museums in the educational
institutions of Wisconsin, is pointing
out to members Of the legislature the
need OF providing ample funds foa the
maintenance and for the increase of
the public historical, archaeological and
historical collections of the state his
torical museum which is administered
in the State Historical Society Of Wis
consin.
far back as the year 1854, yet it has
never received from the state the
financial support which it merits, -
says Secretary Charles E. Brown.
g From the time Of it's existence in one
of the wings of the capitol to it's re-
moval to the upper floor OF the present
State Historical Library building, the
museum has through its collections as
sisted in the education and entertain
ment of from 10000 to 100000 visitors
yearly. To many visitors it has prov
en- one of the principal attractions of
Madison. Thousands of university
students have also benefited by its
presence.
The fact is now we'll known to Wis
consin people that this institution has
not funds Of its own to carry on the
educational work in which it is en-
gagged, and that for the increase of it's
collections it is dependent almost en-
tirely upon its generous friends.
The time is now at hand when the
state museum should be so well provid-
ed for that it may take its proper place
among the state museums of our
country In the as yet largely unex-
plored fields of Wisconsin ethnology,
archaeology and history it should be in
position to meet every present end
future need of the student and public.
The present gaps in it's collections
may be filed as rapidly as possible by
purchase OF collections and by research
methods, and it should have the means
to properly house and care for these.
It should also be able to come into
closer touch with the public school
system of the state by providing lect-
ures and travelling collections. Such
work is now being carried on by similar
museums in every part Of the United
States.
During the present session Of the
state legislature the State Historic So
ciety of Wisconsin, at the suggestion
of the Wisconsin Archaeological Society
and of a multitude of members and
/ friends in every part of Wisconsin,
caused the introduction of a bill ask
| ing for the maintenance and equipment
lof $780, This measure has not yet
met at the hands of the legislators the
ready response which it merits. It
would be sorrowful indeed if in these
last days before adjournment means
should not be found to provide the
modest sum asked for its support and
upon which its existence and progress
depend No plea of economy in state
affairs should be permitted to bar the
way of education and progress of edu-
cational institutions.
