JUST WHAT The NEW LAW MEANS
Superintendent Gardner Dissects Teach.
ers' Cestification Statute

Because of an article that has been
copied by many of our newspapers
which has given wrong impression az
to the meaning of some of the provi-
sions of the new teachers certification
law, the county superintendent takes
this opportunity of correcting the same.
A brief summary Of the provisions is
as follows:
Every new applicant, or teacher who
has taught less than eight months prior
to July l, 1910, shall have attended a
state normal or a county training
school for teachers for at least six
weeks and shall have received in such
school, standings in school manage
ment, and in the methods of teaching
reading and language, arithmetic and
geography, in addition to passing the
regular teachers examination as here
tofore, before the applicant is entitled
to a certificate.
A teacher who hes taught success
fully for eight months or more may re-
new her cert fcate in two ways; LIST,
She may write and pass the regular
teachers examination in all the sub
jects required for a certificate without
attending professional school. End,
If she attends a professional school for
teachers for six weeks and receives
standings in two or more subjects of a
higher certificate than she is now hold
ing, her certificate may be renewed
without writing.
If the holder Of third grade certifi-
cate attends professional school for
six weeks and passes satisfactory ex-
animation in physical geography, Amer
lean literature, English composition,
and in the cetaloging and use of school
libraries, the superintendent may then
issue second grade certificate to the
applicant without writing on the third
grade subjects, providing however that
the third grade standings are high
enough to be transferred to a second
grade.
The same course may be pursued by
teacher holding d second grade.
After July /, 1910, only three third
grade certificates can be issued to the
same person.
In order to accommodate the teachers
of Vernon county and save them the
additional travelling expenses, as well
as five dollars tuition that the state
normals charge, the county board has
authorized the extending of the training
school at Viroqua for six weeks, to be-
gin June 20, 1910. This school meets
the requirements of the law and is open
to all teachers and those who expect TO
teach.

GIVE CHILDREN A PLAYGROUND
Much Easier 10 Provide One Now Than
in Years TO Come

Every community owes certain duty
to its children. While responsibility
rests in greater degree on the parents
and the home, still children must have
the benefit of supplementary effort
from the community at large. We, in
Viroqua, are lacking in one great ne
cessity of children's lives, and that is a
playground, as may be easily seen by
anyone who will take the trouble to
look over our schcol grounds.
Judge Lindsey of Denver, whose work
fits him to speak with authority, says:
"a city that does not provide its child
rem with sufficient places to play. fails
in its duty. Every normal child requires
an outlet and if not given place where
this may take the form of outdoor play
without interference by police, street
traffic or people who have forgotten
they were once young, the child will
turn to malicious mischief. Boys and
girls are not naturally immoral-they
are immoral. Give our boys and girls
plenty of playground and our courts
will have great deal less to do"
It is comparatively recent move
ment to awaken the public to sense
of its responsibility to the child, but
it is rapidly developing movement,
and many communities are recognizing
tne fact that their duty does not end
with the provision of schools. The pro-
blem becomes greater as places grow
in size and vacant lots become less
numerous and more valuable. Let us
look to the future and consider what
we here in Viroqua can do to give our
children a place TO play.

TERN oFcIRcUIr COURT
will be Convened next Tuesday to Try
Setback Criminal Case

Judge Higbee notified jurors when
they were discharged at the late regular
term of circuit court that they would
probably be recalled for an adjourned
term. They have been notified by
Clerk Costing to appear at the county
seat on Tuesday next, and it appears
to be the understanding that the pur-
pose of the session is to take up and
dispose of the case of the state against
William Setback, who is charged with
obtaining property under false pre-
lenses. Some months ago he was ar
rested, waived examination and was
bound over to circuit court, giving a
bond of So. 900 for appearance.
The case grows out of financial mix
up which the CENSOR related some
weeks since.
Judge Vinge of Superior has been
called in by Judge Higoee to preside in
the case. He was a Viroqua school
boy about thirty years ago. His broth
er was practicing attorney here then,

The Wool Market !. Bad This Season

Overloaded with old goods appears
to be the condition with manufacturers
and dealers in woods everywhere, and
in consequence there is decided slump
in the market as compared with last
year. The prices then were from rs to
% cents, now the very highest price
offered is Il, and the prevailing price
in all the surrounding country is 20,
cents, and buyers do not appear to be
overly anxious to take it at that. Very
little of the present years clip has been
sold and farmers will doubtless hold for
better prices.
Unsettled political and industrial con-
ditions in the country are lettering all
interests from branching out beyond
the bare necessities of operation and
living. The free-trade ard political
agitation in CONGRESS has alarmed the
country and no sane man sees solu-
tion of the problems and will make no
investment in industrial pursuits until
the storm of unrest has passed.

A MOST DAsrARDLY DEED IT WAS
Unknown Rascal Wounds a Boy by
Shooting Into Crowded Audience

At Brody school house in the town of
Clinton, last Saturday evening, while a
congested audience was assembled at a
basket social, some person unknown
fired shot through the window into
the crowd, striking Ed. Quinn, son of
John Quinn. The bullet entered the
fieshy portion of the thigh of his right
leg. The boy. was immediately convey
ed to Cashton for treatment, but after
probing by physicians the leaden mis-
sile was not located. Sunday morning
young Quinn was taken to La Crosse
for examination and care.
The dastardly act of this unknown
crimmally- disposed actor caused con-
sternation in the community. Up to
date there is no solution of the matter.
1t is believed that nothing serious can
come to the boy because of the wound.

Training School Sends Out Another
Likely Field of Teachers

The commencement exercises of the
Vernon county training school were
held at the high school building, We'd
nesday evening of last week. This is
the third grist of teachers to be turned
out at this educational institution.
The speaker, Rev. Frederick Ed
wards, gave one of the best graduating
lectures ever delivered in this city. He
used as his topic, 1.-The Little Red
School House." the class motto, and
pointed out the need of the country
sections in the way of education, show
ing how important is the work of the
young school teacher. His contention
that we need more education at the
bottom ane less at the top was favora-
bly, received, as was also his statement
that today the average person, espe-
cially the farmer. thinks more of the
dollar than he does of his children s
souls.
The music by the school. conducted
by Miss Eleanor Thomas, was splendid
" rendered and the exercises as a
whole were very commendable.
On Thursday evening the annual
school banquet was given and many
graduates and out-of-town guests gath
cred around the tables to psrtake of
the excellent menu prepared by the
Aid society of the Methodist church.
An elaborate program was rendered
and pleasant evening spent by all.
