EDUCATIONAL,
(BY c. w. MEISNEST.)

1t is a strange thing that many
people, yes majority of them will not
do what is best for themselves, and for
their interest until forced to do 50.
This is true of large numbtrof people
in all the walks of life. 1t is true of
| the manufacturer who refuses to eX-
pend a small amount of money for the
protection of his employees; it is true of
the merchant who pays but bare liv-
ing wage to his helpers and does not
increase the wage until forced to do so
in one or the other of the several ways
usually restored to. 1t is the same to
some extent with nearly all classes of
people. OF course there are some who
will take the lead in advance of the
law, but these are rather few in num-
ber
The man who owns a piece of land,
keeps several COWS and hauls his milk
to the factory or makes butter, did not
realize the benefit he would derive 10y
keeping everything in most sanitary
conditions, until the law stepped in and
said, "You must keep your utensils
clean, your barn must be sanitary or
you cannot sell your milk" Besides
decreasing the cause for the spread of
disease because of such a law which
alone ought to have been inducement
enough to have things most conducive
to his best interests, he has failed to
see, until later the benefits obtained
through the increased value Of his pro-
ducts because of their better quality.
1t is to the benefit of the farmer to
have good roads, yet any attempt on
the part of those who are working for
good roads is looked upon as selfish
and possibly political motive. 1t is
certainly true that this too will result
in the passage of a Good Roads law.
1t must be remembered, however, that
there are roads in many parts of the
state that are we'll nigh impassable,
and that although the roads in Manito-
voc County are fairly good, there is
probably considerable waste in trying to
keep them in condition. At any rate
it IS another example of how people
will not do what is best for themselves
until made to do 50.
Another very striking instance where
this is true is in the education of the
boy and girl. Nobody can deny the
benefits of education, of the Importance
of regular attendance at school, yet
this attendance was nowhere near Sc
cured until the compulsory attendance
law was passed which compelled par
ents to do what was best for themselves
and their children. 1t was not until
after the law had been passed. that
districts provided good ventilation and
lighting in schools, that the outhouscs
We're kept clean, that the seats were
properly adjusted 1t was not until
then, that the people accepted the new
conditions as necessary for the general
health of the child
1t is ON the subject of education, better
onditions in schools, or in general bet
ter schools that people are more back
ward in doing what is to their general
benefit than on any other one thing.
When a progressive community pro-
poses something new and their is not
the force of law back Of it, some peo-

BOARD ELECTS CITY SUPT.
AND HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

On Monday Judge Cratic gave out
the following statement:
"Assuming that the public and the
press are interested in knowing who
the city superintendent of schools as
well as the principal teachers will be,
the board of education has authorized
me. as their committee, to state the
following:
Last Saturday evening at its meet
ING. the board unanimously assured
the appointment of Z. j. Limmers OF
Kenosha as city school superintendent
and wired the appointment to Mr..

Mr.. Zimmers wired back to the board
that he accepted the position.
Every member Of the board re-
cognized the ability Of each of the
principals of the high schools in the
city and praised the high and efficient
work of said teachers, and wished they
had sufficient number of places to en-
gage them all as recognition OF
worth, but there being only one place
for three teachers L. w. Brooks was Sc
lected by majority vote of the board.
The other teachers are going to be
engaged in the early part of this week. >
Mr.. Ximmers has been city superin-
tendent of KenoSha the past six years
and it is said that the schools have
made substantial progress under his
management. Mr.. Brooks came here
last fall as principal of the North Side
High School He has demonstrated
that he is qualified 10y character and
attainments to develop and direct the
ambitions, good habits, the moral
training and conduct of those under
: his care To all appearances the
board in selecting superintendent
and principal has chosen wisely, and
we have reason to expect good in
tellectual and moral results.
