iiqh Schools to Train Teachers.

High Schools to Train Teachers.
In order to give university gradu-
ates more thorough and extended
vising in the public schools of the
state, the regents of the University Of
Wisconsin have just established a
number of teaching fellowships to be
awarded each year to the members of
the graduating class.
These fellows will devote half of the
year to teaching under the supervision
of the principal and teachers in one of
the city high schools of the state.
The other half the year they will
give to advanced work in the subject
which they wish to teach and in peda-
gogy.
Eight high schools are cooperating
with the university in this new plan
for more thorough training for teach
ers, as follows: Oshkosh, Racine, SUI
perior, Wausau, Ashland, Eau Claire,
Chippewa Falls and Menomonie.
The seniors graduating. this year
who have been awarded these new
teaching fellowships are: Una L..
Reardon, Rhinelander, and Hazel
Straight, Madison, both of whom will
teach history in the Eau Claire high
school, Miss Reardon during the first
semester and Miss Straight the sec
ond; Florence Lentzner, Milwaukee,
and Mabel F. Pomeroy, Oconomowoc,
who will teach Latin in the Superior
high school, Miss Lentzner the first
semester and Miss Pomeroy the Sec
ond; Gretchen Ruedebusch, Mayville,
and Avrina Davies, Dixon, ILL.,, who
will teach German in the Wausau
high school, Miss Ruedebusch the first
semester and Miss Davies the second.

Again we have passed the birth
day of the Father of his country.
George Washington was able to be-
come first in the hearts of his coun-
trymen because he deserved the dis
tinction, and because by his honor
and truth, his wisdom and judg-
ment, he rose above the intrigues
of the selfish and jealous men and
the turmoil OF party passion and
pointed the way to national strength
in national righteousness. The acts
of no man in public life have been
free from criticism nor has charac-
ter remained unassailed, but fewer
of these shafts have been turned on
Washington than on other men who
nave held such high positions of
trust and honor but they cannot
dim the lustre that has gathered
around his name or detract from
the reverence in which he is held
by every patriotic American.
