naClVe OF hen0Sna county, anu gladu-
at of the common schools. He attend
ed the Kenosha high school for short
time, and has taught six years In the
schools Of the county. His teaching
has alternated with study for better
and higher preparation, and he thus
secured first the elementary certificate
of the State Normal school at White
water, Wisconsin. He then held the
| principalship for three years of state
graded school in Rock County. In spe-
cial preparation for his present work, he
took the Manual Training course at the
| Oshkosh Normal school and received his
| diploma from that institution in 1907.
| For still better preparation, he took a
short course in the celebrated Stout
| Institute at Menomonie, Wisconsin His
| first work in his chosen field was at
! Wauwatosa when he installed manual
training and taught for two years. Dur
! ing the past year he has had charge of
the manual training at Delafeld, Wis
consin, where, also, the important duty
| of installation fell to him. He is thus
well fitted to extend the work already
so well started in Kenosha. It is hoped
| that at no very distant day, there will
be shops in the Balm and Weiskopf
| schools as there are now in the Central,
Durkee and Columbus; and that in all
| these districts there will be well-equip
ped kitchens and sewing rooms where
girls may have the same chance to learn
woman s work.
