Dodge Co. Rescinds Its Action
and State Officials Approve
Kenosha Application
MUST DECIDE ON LOCATION

Kenosha county is to have one of
the training schools for teachers un-
der the patronage of the state as Coun-
ty Clerk Russell H. Jones received a
letter from State Superintendent G. P.
Cary this morning stating that the ap-
plication of the Kenosha county board
for the location of training school in
this county had been approved by him
on Friday afternoon. This was made
possible by the action of the county
board of Dodge county which at re-
cent meeting rescinded its action of
two years ago in regard to the location
of one Of the schools in that county.
The county board may be called IN
special session to make arrangements
for the opening of the school. AS vet
no steps have been taken for the cree
ton of, buildings Or for the selection
of location for the school. It has
been proposed to have the school locat-
ed in Kenosha but the village of Will
mot is also making a strong play for
the school and it is possible that the
county board will decide that it should
be located in the western part of the
county.
The teachers of the county had pre-
pared a petition to send to the legisla-
ture asking that special law be en-
acted for the establishment of the
school in this county but the withdraw
al of Dodge county makes this action
on the part of the legislature unneces-
sary.
