WILL IMPROVE THE STREETS.
Strips of Grass Between Sidewalks
and Streets Proposed

a movement is on foot i'm Iaurium
which may result i'm n big improve
ment of the streets in the residential
districts next summer. 1t is proposed
to plant grass plots between the curb
ing and the main part of the street,
throughout the section of the town
used largely for residence purposes.
The matter has not been brought up
at any of the council meetings so far.
but there is little doubt that the trus-
tees would approve the plan at once.
There is not a street i'm Laurium
which is not wide enough to permit
park strips of this kind" said a well
known businessman in discussing this
situation today" If the residents of
all the streets east of Hecla street,
could be interested, there is no doubt
that the appearance of the town would
be materially improved
President Reynolds looks upon the
plan with favor, and it is likely that
the trustees would lend their encour-
agcment to the proposal. 1t cannot
be stated whether the council will
help to bring about the desired i'm
provement or not.

MORE TRADE SCHOOLS WILL
BE ADVOCATED FOR MICH.

That Michigan and the majority OF
the states. while excellent in other
educational departments, is deficient
IN education along industrial and ag-
ricultural lines, was determined by the
preliminary report of the commission
on inductrial and agricultural educa-
tion at it's meeting In Lansing re-
Gently.
While no definite report was made
as regards education along that line
in the state (the principal work OF the
meeting being the outline OF plan
for collecting the necessary data) the
commission was able to show that
Michigan was lacking in and in need
of such institutions, said Superintend.
ent S. o. Hartwell, secretary of the
commission.
The commission consisting of seven
members, was appointed by governor
Warner about "A year ago Professor
w. III. French of Michigan Agricultu-
raj college Is chairman. At the next
meeting of the commission, which win
be held at the time OF the state Teach
ers' association convention I'm Bay
City the latter part of October, prac-
tically complete report will be pre-
sented to the governor, which will be
turned over To the state legislature for
consideration at its next session.
Whether the matter will be taken
up by the state or recommended to
be taken up by municipalities will be
determined by the legislature in Mas
sachusetts and New York. In the
two states which have already taken
up this branch of education. both sys-
TENS are I'm use.
The final report of the commission
win embrace all data secured up To
the end of 1910. Special inquiries
will be made through the state labor
departments relative to the labor con-
ditions of children between the ages
of IA and IS.
Superintendent T.. G. Warriner of
Saginaw. gave an excellent report on
conditions so far as observed by him,
which showed that Michigan had
made good start in general manual
training. but that practically nothing
had been done so far In the establish
ment of trade schools. Through the
generosity of w. r. Burt of Saginaw,
trade school has been started in
that city, and the Detroit Y NJ. c. a.
has founded the Detroit Technical In
stitute.
Manual training in the public
schools of Michigan is well under way
and compares favorably with any OF
the states in the middle west In the
east this work is more advanced but
in the Central states Michigan is
second to none. Reports on its man
ual training work was secured from
40 high schools in Michigan.

WOULD IMPROVE
FALL HUNTING
sPoRTsMEN ADVOCATING CLOS
ED SEASON FOR cUck UNTIL
OCT. keep MEN OUT
OF WOODS.

Calumet ana Laurium sportsmen
are again agitating closed season
for duck until October /. The season
given Is not that the ducks are being
exterminated. but that an arrangement
providing that the seasons for hunting
duck, partridge and rabbits should
open on the same date, would bring
about a big Improvement in the hunt
ing conditions and would greatly re-
duce the danger of game law viola
tions.
Duck hunting Is never at it's best
until long after OctoAer /, they assert.
ana The shortening of the duck hunt
ing season would not deprive the
hunters Of that sport. If the season
for huating all birds opened on Octo-
Der !, they claim there would be no
excuse for any hunters to be i'm the
wocGs before that date, and the shoot
ing of partridge in violation OF the law,
would be less apt to occur.
Those who have been i'm the woods
recently. intimate that the partridge
have already become frightened, ow-
ing To the activity of tho hunters and
whore n few weeks ago coveys of
partridge were plentiful IL Is with
difficulty that any birds can be found
now. 1t IL also claimed that n number
Of birds have been shot during the
last few weeks, the result being that
the sport this fall will not be az good
has had been hoped.
A number of Calumet hunters are
already preparing for the opening Of
the deer season. While wolves are
said to be numerous in the woods this
year, it is not thought that they have
destroyed many deer, and a good sea-
son is expected, after November 10.
