TEACHERS TO GET
PRACTICAL TRAINING

That schools for the training of
teachers are changing their plans of
instruction to meet the increasing de-
mand for education that sustains a vi
tai relation to life is Illustrated by
the announcement in the "OcOnto
County Enterprise" of the summer
school for teachers to be conducted
at Oconto. For the benefit of rural
schools there will be a daily prac-
teal demonstration Of the Babcock
milk tester A class in sewing will
be conducted so that girls in oneroom
schools may get at least beginning

teal value throughout life. Other
lines of practical instruction are be-
ing planned. All this is radically diff

ing given in summer schools for teach
ers but few years ago.

TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE,
WHICH ARE YOU?

There are two kinds of people on
earth today;
Just two kinds of people, no more,
| say,
Not the sinner and saint, for it's
well understood,
The good are half bad and the bad
are half good,
Not the rich and the poor, for to rate
a mans wealth.
You must first know the state of
his conscience and health.
Not the humble and proud, for in
life's little span,
Who puts on vain airs is not counted
a man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift
flying years
Bring each man his laughter and each
man his tears.
No; the two kinds of people on earth
1 mean,
Are the people who lift, and the peo-
pie who lean
Wherever you go, you will find the
earth's masses
Are always divided in just these two
classes.
And, oddly enough, you will find, too,
I Ween,
There's only one lifting to twenty
who lean.
In which class are you? Are you
easing the load
OF over taxed filters who toll down
the road?
Or are you leaner, who lets others
share
Your portion of labor and worry and
care?
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
