Will Frisch, in the box for the

Yerkes of the visiting team was
on third base, and in trying to get
home, be found himself between

THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS CLOSE
Stunt Riordan Expresses Satisfaction
Over the Results Of the
Years Work.
SCHOOLS TO Be SYSTEMATIzED
Cooperation Of Parents, Teachers and
School Board Beneficial.

The close of the school year
makes occasion for retrospectlon.
After such retrospection we believe
that the year has been success TO
the Bonners Ferry schools. For
success attained there are several
factors contributary thereto; chief
among which are: the efficiency
and fidelity of the teaching corps,
loyalty and personal cooperation OF
the patrons. the voluntary sacrifice
of time and personal ends to com
munity good by the school board, ,
and the perspective and executive
ability of the superintendent or adj
ministrating power. Leaving the
comments on the last, az a factor
in our success, to the charity OF
public opinion, | wish to say that
the Others have contributed, each,
It's full measure of assistance
Changes-uuavoidabls and involv-
ing the seventh and eighth grades
go continuously that to quote
Lowell, "Nothing abiding was but
change"-left us badly handicap
ped from the very inception to the
very close of the terms work. Yet
the final showing has been as good
as ths largest of our county's
schools.
During the year an attempt to
IN ore fully systematize and stan
dardize the school as a whole and
to make the results more productive
of advancement to the upper grade
pupil has been made and shows
evidence of wholesome fruitage.
Believing that more is owed to the
pupil in the last three of the gram
mar gra des, when his mind is more
receptive and his chances on con-
tinuing in school more contingent
than earlier in his school life, steps
have been taken during the year
now closing to raise the entrance
age of the pupil to the primary de-
partment; also the semi yearly
class of the second grade, which
would have neeessitated a division
of all grades and consequently a
division of time spent with these
classes in recitation has been elimi-
mated. These two readjustments
will enable us to make a more
equitable division Of the teaching
force in the grades. At present
teachers have charge of the work
below the 4th grade. while but 8
are assigned to the 4th. 9th, 9th, 18th
and 9th grades inclusive.
In order that a closer super
vision might be had of the upper
grade work, that the pupils might
put forth the best efforts, and a.
the same time become accustomed
to test questions, the contents oil
which would be less familiar II
general trend than those offered b,
the teachers in charge. The final ex
animation questions In language
arithmetic, and physiology for tn
9th, 9th and 7th grades were thi
year made out by the Superinten
dent.

LIBRARY IMPROVEMENT
Public Library Patronized by
Many---1OO New Books
Received.

Last week the public library
received from the Wisconsin Ii
brarv commission consignment
of 100 books, including works OF
reference, books for children and
some fiction. This number to-
gerher with the 800 the town
already possess, most of which
are fiction, makes a total of 400
from which the people OF Eagle
River may select. About $50
cards emitting the holders to
draw hooks are now out, but
not that many books are drawn
every week. The average nunl-
Der of books taken out every
library day is about fifty, more
being drawn on Wednesdays
rather than Saturdays.
While the library is free to the
public, and the cost of it's privile-
ges is only the cost of a card, five
cents, there are incidental ex-
penses that must be provided
for. To do this and keep the
library in proper order by hiring
a librarian, the officers Of the
library association have asked
that a subscrip tion of fifty cents
I
be paid by a family where there
is more than one member draw
ing hooks. This is but a small
amount for the privileges receiv-
ed and any other persons are al
so asked to subscribe to help
build up the library. Subscrip-
tions will defrav running ex-
penses and the 800 granted an
nually by the town can be used
to purchase new books.
Eagle River now has a good
library started and since it has
been removed to the court house
the conditions for taking care OF
the books have been greatly I'M
proved and the humber OF
patrons has increased.

HIGH SCHOOL CONTESTS
Students Preparing Declam-
atory and Oratorical Con-
tests to be Given Soon.

The annual declamatorv CON
test of the high school will be
given at the opera h"nse a week
from the coming Friday, March
3rd. Seven girls are preparing
selections to compete for first
place. Other numbers will be
placed upon the program to
make the evening one of good en-
tertainment. A slight admis-
sion will be charged to defray ex-
penses. The winner of this con-
test will go to Phillips some time
in May, and there compete in the
league contest. A contest at
Ashland follows and the sta e
contest for the winner.
At a date to be announced
later the bows will hold an ora
torical contest on the same plan
as the girls declamatorv contest
is given. The boy winning first
place in this contest will travel
to Park Falls. there to compete
i'll the League contest. Follow
ing this comes the Ashland and
state oratorlcal contests.
1t is but lately, the past year,
that extensive work of this
nature has been taken up at the
high school, but its value as a
personal asset is already making
itself prominent in the high
school student. A literary socie-
tv which has for its chief object
the training Of students in the
art of expressing themselves be-
fore an audience, has been organ
lied and it's meetings are a credit
to the school. These meetings
which are held every two weeks
on Friday afternoons are open
to the public aud it hoped that
more will avail themselves OF the
opportunity to go and see the
work done.

There should be a code of ethics.
some uniformity and system re-

are to be presented, when to be
paid and how; whether in real
money, bull pups, due bills, time
checks, orders on the company,
IOU's or just mere vindt, always
taking a receipt therefor when
payment is really made. OF
course, the best way would be
to collect in advance; insist upon
payment before the grub disap-
pears. But that plan, like cash

MARS TURNS EXPOSER
Ousted District Attorney of
Forest County to Aid In
yestigation of Alleged Graft

Developments in the case of !
&. Mars, removed district attor-
ney OF Forest county, indicate
that the scandal to be unveiled
during the investigation of coun-
tv affairs will be the worst for
years IN any part of the state.
Indications are that the former
district attorney, against whom
charges OF embezzlemept and be-
ing fugitive of justice were
brought, will not be the one to
suffer most by the expose.
Following are some of the
matters to be investigated in
Forest county:
Why the contract for the
building of a new court house
was let at $4,000 when an
other responsible bidder offer
ed to do 1t for $35, 900
Why $50, 900 worth ofbonds
for the erection of the court
house were sold to the lowest
bidder instead of the highest.
whereby the county lost ST.
325 in premiums and may be
compelled to sue the concern
to whom the contract was
given for the balance due on
the bonds.
Whya salary of $500 a year
was paid and now is being
paid to a county official who
has never opened an Office and
who has never done any ser
vice.
Why county officers were
allowed to make contracts
with and for the county in vi
olation of the statutes.
Why the county board or
dered paid alleged illegalclaims
against the county averaging
at least So, 500 a year for six
years.
Why, although the county
had a qualified and acting dis
trict attorney, the county
board ordered the payment of
hundreds of dollars each year
for legal service?
Why the county board paid
a former district attorney for
house and office rent.
Whv a former county official
was allowed practically co sell
his Office to which he was elect
eI for $1,000.
Why a former district attor-
nev was allowed to compound
f.lonies and receive for such
leuiency to criminals sums rang
