A GROCERY AFLoAT.
Odd Craft That VIII Be Seen No
More in Vineyard Haven Waters.


Capt William M. Randall, for four
teen years master of the little grocery
and water supply boat at Vineyard
Haven, has retired, and his boat, the
Susie d., has been purchased by
Boston firm of contractors for use in
Boston harbor.
Few men are better known among
coastwise captains than Capt. Ran
DALI He intercepted vessels passing
through Vineyard sound day after
day, stocking them with provisions,
delivering orders from owners, let
tiers or kilograms, as the case might
be. Thousands of letters have been
entrusted to Capt. Randall from YES
sells to mail at the postoffice in Vine
yard Haven Capt Randall will now
retire from active sea life
The Susie d. is a strange looking
craft. At first glance in the distance
one would take it for a stubby sailing
vessel What gives this impression Is
not a mast, though; it is derrick,
rugged in the bow for wreck-ng pur-
roses. Another glance and the
mokestack comes prominently into
lew and in the stern of the boat
Il hat looks like a cabin. This is not
, cabin but the store room, which
When opened resembles a huge ice
hest, such as is used in a market.
In this chest or store room, scat
2red about, are the supplies in which
re captain deals. Everything from
ggs and other dairy products to an
hors and chains is to be found here,
nd lot of other things besides-in
act everything that man at sea
o0uld want or need There are rub
er boots, oilskins, ropes and what
OF, and everything is for sale. 1t is
large department store in small
oat and carried almost every con-
eivable commodity outside OF fancy

general farming and especially adapted
to dairying and stock raising because
of wonderful grass production, abso-
lutely pure water and invigorating eli
mate. 1t is not only close TO the best
markets, but has a splendid mark t
within its borders in the many manu-
featuring towns that now exist and the
many more that will result from the
development of multitude of magnif-
cent water powers. This area is grid
ironed with through lines of railway.
Lands may be obtained near thriving
towns. They can be purchased and
cleared for less than the usual charge
for water in irrigation propositions.
Building material is cheap and fuel is
upon the land. The future high value
of these lands is assured for the reasons
already enumerated and for the add
itional reasons that such high paying
crops as cigar tobacco, sugar beets, clo-
yer seed, potatoes and small fruits are
produced.
The old proverb "Out of sight, out of
mind explains why there are every
year thousands of individuals leaving
the United States to settle on farm
lands in the Canadian northwest, and
never realizing that if they chose they
could settle on cheap but excellent
land without going beyond the border
of the Badger state. Until very recent
ly the possibilities offered in the cut
over region of Northern Wisconsin were
rarely referred to in print. Canadian
opportunities, however, have been kept
before the world by continuous adver-
Using for more than twenty years.
In taking advantage of every chance
which offers for talking up" Wis
consin Commissioner Campbell is per-
forming the function for which his
Office was created, and is carrying to
thousands message that they may
look back to in future years as having
attracted them to a land of promise
and assured their subsequent prosperi-

ALWAYS BOOSTING

Taking his cue from an editorial in
the Chicago Record Herald on '"The
Land Hunger of Americans" A. D..
Campbell, Commissioner of Immigra-

that journal a communication in the
course of which he says:
am impelled to call your attention
to the fact that we have in Wisconsin,
yet unoccupied, at least 10, 900, 900 acres
of as productive soil as is to be found
anywhere in America. This area is in

WIS. CITY SCHOOL SYSTEMS

An address by Supt. H. S. Yonker of
Grand Rapids, on the Improvement of
city school systems, has recently been
issued as special bulletin by State
Superintendent, c. P. Cary. The sum-
mary is given below.
''To secure a trained teaching force
for the grades of our city schools we
need higher qualifications. These quail
fcations should be obtained from the
state, not from local authorities and
| they should require professional train
| ing as we'll as academic knowledge and
experience.
"In order that city school systems
may be properly financed, school boards
should be Independent of city councils
in levying school taxes, more equit-
able and scientific method of distribut-
ing state aid should be adopted. This
should take account of the number of
children the city educates in it's public
schools, the number of teachers it en-
ploys and the progressiveness of it's ed
vocational work. A much larger amount
of money should be raised by the state
for school purposes. Part of this should
be distributed in grants for the support
of special lines of educational work.
I'm order to retain a trained teach
ing force and to produce leaders for the
management and improvement of the
school system, administration should be
made more efficient by reducing the
size of some school boards, a longer
tenure of office should prevail, system
of teachers pensions or retirement
fund should be adopted.
MANY of these things apply equally
village and city. In advocating these
things for city schools we are not i'm
plying that other schools do not need
them. Whatever improves one part of
our educational system improves all
parts.
sit is true, however, that many of
the things advocated apply with pecu-
liar force to city school. The improve
ment of city schools is of special i'm
portance, for as the Hon. John D. Phil
brick said in his report on City School
Systems published nearly twenty-five
years ago, In estimating the import
ance of our city systems of schools, it
is necessary to remember that the in
fuence of cities in determining the gen
eral welfare is out of all proportion be-
yond the numbers of their population.
They are the centers of wealth, culture,
science, business enterprise, and social
and political influence. The role of
the cities is, no doubt, to become In the
future far more important, relatively,
than it is now. Hence, it is in our
cities that all the power of education is
needed. The future of our cities will
be largely what education makes it and
the future of our country will be large
ly what the cities make it.
