University State, or State University.

University State, or State University.
Whether the people of Wisconsin
want university state or state uni
versity is question raised by G. P.
Cary, state superintendent of educa-
from his Office, addressed to Teachers
and the General Public"
Mr.. Cary two years ago began the
publication of series of similar let
tiers in which he discussed various as
poets of the high school problem, and
the present letter is the first in pro-
posed second series on the subject.
1t is likely to attract wide attention,
not only in educational circles, but
also among those who have been COM
ing to believe that the state university,
under its present policies, was pre-
pairing trouble for itself in the future
by assuming activities outside of the
proper functions and by seeking to
dominate the politics and government
of the state.
"The public wants to help the uni
versity," says Mr.. Cary, 'but it does
not know how to do it except to give
it money, money, and let it have it's
own way. The university is the child
of the state, beloved child and a
spoiled child. The people of the state
when they were poor and when the
state was new, created the university.
There were then no alumni to deluge
with frantic appeals for aid. Alumni
were unnecessary for the university
was an ideal and faith in the hearts
of the people. They saw visions and
dreamed dreams. They knew some of
the older and Weather states did not
have state universities. Why did the
lioneers of Wisconsin want one for
their very own? Certainly it must
have been because they had an exalt-
ed opinion of the value of higher edu-
cation in relation to the general well
fare"

Distribution of the Gifts
JULIA BoTToMLEY

When opened, 1t is found to be a
letter from Santa Claus, saying his
pack was too heavy, SO he has for
warded by express all his gifts. In a
few minutes huge box is delivered
in the kitchen which when opened is
found to contain packages addressed
to each one.
Another easier way is to pass a
tray covered with a number of small
keys with red ribbon and Christmas
tag attached. On the tag is written
tho chi1d's name and the information
that somewhere in the house is con-
cealed bag the key will open.
Then begins hunt into all sorts of
out-of-the-way places to find great
bags of turkey red muslin, draped
with green's and fastened at the top
with a paddock. Each bag holds the
gifts for one member of the family.

Catch of Lake Trout Spawn Is Large.

Catch of Lake Trout Spawn Is Large.
The state fish commission completed
the taking of lake trout spawn for this
year, and the indications are that %
per cent. more spawn was taken than
in any previous year. Last year the
total of lake trout eggs taken was 81
100000. This year it is expected to be
over 50,00O,000. This means that prob
ably 45,000,000 lake trout fry will be
Matched and returned to Lakes Michi-
gan and Superior next spring. 1t is
thus that the supply of trout in the big
lakes is maintained. Probably most of
the fresh water fish eaten in Wiscon-
sin is fresh water trout.
The demand for lake trout has be-
come SO large during the last few
years that the supply has been insult
icient to meet it. AS a result prices
have scared. Retailers receive from
IL cents to Is cents a pound for this
fish. In order to keep this industry
going the state fish commission each
year matches and turns into the big
lakes millions of trout fry.
Superintendent James Nevin of the
commission this year has "a crews on
Lake Michigan and 20 on Lake Su-
perior taking trout for their spawn.
Nineteen tugs worked out of the city
Of Milwaukee. Other cities sending
but crews were Kenosha, Racine, She
boygan, Port Washington, Kewaunee,
Two Rivers, Algoma, Sturgeon Bay,
East Marinette and Bayfield,. The
crews used a net with a mesh of Az
inches, thus catching only the larger
trout The eggs are sent to fish hatch
cries at Oshkosh and Bayfield, where
they are placed in glass jars and
Matched in about three months. After
the fry become large enough they are
placed on the spawning beds in Lakes
Michigan and Superior
The fishermen who catch the spawn
producing trout for the commission, do
SO under special licenses anG receive
for their work the bodies of the trout,
after the eggs and milk have been ex-
PEELED.

War Stops Funds; Students Hard Up

War Stops Funds; Students Hard Up.
Thirty-six Chinese students at the
University Of Wisconsin, thirty of
whom are being educated out of the
Boxer indemnity fund, will adopt com
munistic methods to sustain them
selves. The thirty have been notified
that owing to the trouble with the
Manchu dynasty in China payments
for their support at Madison are
stopped.
Several hundreds of Chinese stu
dents are scattered through the edu-
cational institutions of America and
are in the same condition. Some of the
students at Madison are nearly desti-
tue Of funds, for these young celes-
tails live and dress in comfort and
style, and fail not to take advantage
of the best opportunities at the thea
tiers and music halls, believing in the
spending of money just like well-to-do
American students. They feel that
such conduct will bring the best edu-
cational results.
The Chinese at Madison will pool
their remaining funds and join hands
in getting credit to carry them
through until their remittances are
resumed, which they expect is Ger.
tain without great delay. The Chi
nese students here are not worrying
over the news.

10 Name Above Every Name.

If there be one name sweeter than
another in believers ear, it is the
name of Jesus. Jesus! 1t is the
name which moves the harps of heav-
en- to melody. Jesus! the life of all
our joys. If there be one name more
charming, more precious than another
It is this name It is woven into the
very warp and wool of our psalmody.
MANY of our hymns begin with 1t.
and scarcely any that are good for
anything end without it. It is the
sum total of all delights. 1t is the
music with which the bells of heaven
ring; a song in word; an ocean for
comprehension, although a drop for
brevity; a matchless oratorio in two
syllables; a gathering up of the halle
luiahs OF eternity in five letters

value of rowen as food for milk pro

The clover should be cut as soon
as it is in blossom. 1t cannot be

and we shall be more sure to get a

Much of the feeding value Of the
clover depends upon how the crop is
managed after it is cut; and right
here is where we find many practical
farmers who fail to agree on how the
clover should be handled, although
they are all working with one object
in view, and that to cure 1t as quick,

value of the hay.
We make a practice Of cutting in
the forenoon what may be tedded and
raked and cooked in the afternoon
and cure for two days and open UP
the third day about nine or ten O'CLOCK
in the morning and begin hauling to
the NOW in the afternoon.
When the clover is handled in this
manner 1t will be cured and the loss
of leaves will be reduced to mini
mum. Clover that is handled in this
manner will retain its delightful arc
ma. OF course, weather conditions
will often upset our most carefully
laid plans, and we shall be compelled
to cut away from all hard and fast
rules and do the best thing possible
under the circumstances.

May Issue Highway Bonds.

May Issue Highway Bonds.
An opinion of vital interest to good
roads enthusiasts was that given by
Attorney General Bancroft wherein it
is held that towns or counties may
raise money by the issue and sale OF
bonds, devoting the same to payment
for permanent road improvements
under the good roads law passed by
the last legislature and make such
payments the basis of claim for state
aid under that law.
The significance of the ruling Is
that towns and counties may make
comprehensive and intelligent plans
for the system of highway building,
raise the money to pay for the same
by bond issue payable in yearly In
stallments and make those payments
the basis for claims for state aid from
year to year until final payment is
made.
