sac. 40 Worth of Sport

It was N. A. Sydness of Glen Flora
who paid the bill, but it should have
been made up by collection from the
spectators who appeared to enjoy the
rag chewing match between him and
Justice r. S. Reeves in justice court
Tuesday Of course Sydness should
have been fined about every five min
utes during the trial for "butting in, .
but the justice was in good humor and
for time the council room was crowd
ed with idle spectators to see the fun.
Sydness and Dave Biller came down
from Glen Flora to get load of plas-
ter for new school house. They Wis
tied the saloons and, when they got
ready to start home, drove their team
up onto the sidewalk. Chief of Police
Culver, always on the lookout for vio-
lations of the city ordinances, took them
in. Sydness plead guilty and paid a
fine of SIS and costs, amounting in all to
1871, and was tickled at getting off so
easy. He said that he had some more
money that had never been spent and
started out to have "little more fun. y
He lead his horse on the sidewalk along
east side of Worden's store, and again
from Peterson store to w. E. Clark
residence on Miner avenue. His pal,
Biller, accompanied him, but was care
full to keep his horse just off the walk.
Of course they got pulled the second
time. Biller was discharged and Sgd
ness plead not guilty. Seven witnesses
were heard. His fine and costs amount
ed to $21. 40, making the total for the
afternoons sport $29. 40.

DO WE NEED
A CHANGE?
view Law Permits Return TO Dis
trict System OF School
Government

Inc members of the legislature who
helped to enact Chapters TT and 237
OF the 1909 statutes must have had in
mind the wishes of many of their con-
SllCuents residing in cities which had in
an unguarded hour adopted our system
OF school government. The sections
referred to provide for the election of
members of the school board by the
people If the voters of any city shall
decide by vote at special election to
make such change. At present our
school board is appointed by the mayor
with tn" advice and consent" Of the
council.
10 many of our citizens, especially
patrons of the public schools, the per-
sonnel of the school board is of more
Importance than that of the common
council, who now have the power of
appointing it. Our present system
was evidently unsatisfactory i'll more
than one city or the legislature would
not have passed law permitting it to
be changed.
The system of appointing officers,
rather than choosing them by popular
vote, is theoretically good, but there is
always the possibility of the abuse OF
such power-such offices may be made
the medium of politica barter and trade,
or for the building up Or perpetuation
of a political machine A good admin
lstratlon will appoint good officers, and
bad administration the opposite. In
either case the members of the school
board, who are appointed for three
years, hold their positions after che
term of their creators has expired.
Chapter 237 provides for the return
to the district system, which is still in
vogue in many Wisconsin cities four or
five times the size of Ladysmith, some
of which have tried our system and
turned it down. With the district sys-
TEN our schools would be divorsed from
local politics. the school board would
have the handling of the funds collected
of having it doled out to them by the
city council The maximum levy per-
mitted to be made by law is more than
sufficient to meet the running expenses
of our schools. In the event of the city
voting dry" it would be impossible
for our school fund to be drawn upon
to meet any deficiency in other depart
ments Of the city government.
Under the district system the school
board is something more than a Gig
ure-head" dominated by the common
council. At the annual school meeting
patrons of the schools have an OppOr
tunity to discuss matters pertaining to
the welfare of our schools; the school
board is held accountable to the people
for their acts, teachers are not so apt
to be employed or dismissed on account
of political affiliations.
This matter has been under discussion
for several months by patrons of our
public schools. Had the new law been
passed in time, it is probable that a
petition for a special election would
have been presented to the council so
that the change might have taken effect
last month. AS it is, should the change
of our school system be voted, it would
not take effect until next July.
Note what Supt. fl. S. Yonker of
Grand Rapids says on improvement of
city school systems, in another column
of this issue.

TO EXPERIMENT
IN NORTH WIS.
Experts Coming Here to Test Various
Woods for Value for Pulp
PurpoSes

Spurred on by Representative Mann,
who is now the recognized wood pulp
and paper expert of congress, the gov
ernment is about to attempt to find new
methods and materials for making white
print paper.
1t is believed that the country is
facing certain crisis in regard to its
paper production and that in few years
the price of white print paper will have
climbed to point ruinous to publishers.
Especially will this be the case if
Canada and its provinces see fit to inn
pose export duties and restrictions on
the sale of it's spruce wood.
Congressman Mann has studied the
matter carefully and has reached the
conclusion that it is up to the govern
ment to discover and disclose to the
paper manufacturers means for stem
ming the tide setting in on account of
the growing scarcity of spruce timber
in the United States.
AS the result of a conference with
Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot, forestry
experts will be sent to northern Wis
consin at once to make exhaustive ex-
periments with pine, hemlock and other
woods common to this country with a
view to finding method of turning
them into a suitable pulp from which
paper can be manufactured.
