Children are so keenly conscious of
environment and so susceptible to its eff
fects that, next to the direct training
afforded by the teacher, the surround
ings during school hours form the most
potent influence Of education This fact
has not been generally recognized until
recent years, and now organized effort
to improve old conditions must be made
if we are to insure the speedy estab-
lishment OF model classrooms.
Sanitation is naturally the first re-
form that demands attention. We can
not expect them to he well unless the
building where they pass FIVE or six
hours a day is clean, comfortable, well
ventilated and free from defective
plumbing. But, after all precautions
for the protection of health have been
taken, the schoolrooms may be bare,
ugly, and in every way unattractive
Boys and girls are so intensely suscepti-
BILE to impressions that they viii uncon-
sciously associate distaste for study
with confinement in a cherries place
bounded by forbidding blackboards, ugly
walls and uncurtained windows They
must love school in order to do good
work, and, as long as the class rooms
are not more homelike than prison cells,
they will feel little more attachment
for the school than the felon feels for
the Jail,
1t has been demonstrated that beau
tiful surroundings have not only a
mental, but a moral stimulus. 1t is,
therefore, manifestly a duty to make
schoolrooms restful and inviting. Upon
whom, then, devolves this task? The
schools belong to the people, and the
people can make them beautiful, so
beautiful that every pupil will feel a
pride and interest in them. The April

Green Bay Gazette: The game war
dens Of the state have been under fire
in the primary investigation and it was
discovered that they had been used in
the Stephenson campaign, being fur
nished with large quantities of money
to deal out in their several districts. The
only excuse that they make is that the
game wardens have been mixed up in
politics before. This should hardly ex-
cuse them, however, under civil service
regulation.

Wisconsin health authorities are push

prepared a bill providing for the dissem-
nation among school children of knowl-

weekly lessons the teachers are to in

The plan is one that deserves encour-

shown in many ways during the last few
years that publication of simple rules
and diffusion Of information about dis
ease, its causes, and the means for its
