one drawing which was held to be so fine
by the hierarch of things artistic that it
achieved the distinction of being select
ed for the frontispiece in an issue of the
Century.
This drawing of ar old whaler, head-on
in strong breeze, is so filled with the
results of inaccurate observation that
one hesitates at cataloging them. A
striking feature is the bold sailor man on
the martingale "back-rope" preparing
to harpoon porpoise. With the pull of
those jibs, the guy would be as rigid as
bar of steel; but, behold, the weight of
the sailor says it like regular foot-rope.
A comprehensive foot-note states that
sailors are always alert to capture sup
ply of fresh meat, when porpoises play
under the bow, and catch fish after fish
until 1.-THE scuppers run with blood like
shambles.
1t is the experience of deep-water men
that but one porpoise is ever taken from
a school; for the moment that blood red
dens the water the school instantly disap-

is, sof the identical sort which causes

SCHOOL MEASURES
IN THE ASSEMBLY
SEVERAL IMPORTANT BILLS RE-
LATINO TO EDUCATION DIS
POSED OF IN LOWER HOUSE.
Madison, April 81.

Madison, April Il.
Three educational bills engrossed
the attention of the assembly for over
an hour.
The first debate ensued over the
Towne bill which gives boys and girls
who graduated from country schools an
opportunity of obtaining a smattering
of high school education in state
graded schools located in adjoining
districts where one or two years high
school courses are taught.
Messrs. Wiebahm, Towne, Ham
brecht asd Reynolds favored the bill
while it was opposed by Mr.. Wehr
vein, chairman of the committee on
education, who maintained that these
graded schools are not properly
equipped to give high school courses
of instruction.
A motion to indefinitely postpone
the bill was voted down and the
measure was then advanced to en-
grossment
Mr.. Reynolds sustained his reputa
ton as wag when the Kull bill
providing for the payment of tuition
for non-residents attending free high
schools by the parents of the pupils
instead of by the town where they
reside.
The member from Door county said
there was evidence of insanity in this
legislature and he favored the gen
tlemen below (referring to the sen
ate) having the heads of all members
of the assembly examined before al
lowing them to take their seats at a
subsequent session. He maintained
this bill would work a great hardship
upon the people of the state in the
farming communities, and "if the hens
went on strike they would find it
difficult to keep their children at
school,"
Mr.. Kull maintained that the free
high schools of the state were labor
ing under embarrassing circumstances
in trying to give instruction to chill
dren from surrounding territory at
minimum expense to the outsiders
and the law would have to be changed
soon
The bill was rereferred to the com
mittee on education.
The ingalls, bill authorizing boards
of education, at their discretion, to EN-
ploy teachers on three-year contracts
was indefinitely postponed.
