D. A. r. Place Bronze Tab
let ON the First Free
School Site
REVERE NAMES OF PIONEERS
(From Tuesdays Daily

One of the most interesting spots in
Wisconsin from historical standpoint
was permanently marked today when a
bronze tablet was placed on great
Wisconsin boulder in the, southwest
corner Of the grounds of the Central
school building to mark the site of the
first free school outside of New Eng
land. The tablet was placed, on the
stone by the members of the Kenosha
Chapter of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution and while simple in
character and free from any ornamental
tion, it recalls some of the most inter
esting history Of Kenosha and Wiscon-
sin. The tablet was designed by Chas.
A. Stuart Of Kenosha and wrought in
bronze in the founderies of the Sim
mons Manufacturing company. The
tablet which is set deep in the rock is
about IS inches square and tho in
scription on it is as follows:
"This boulder is placed by the
Kenosha Chapter Of The Daughters
of the American Revolution, to
mark the site of the first free
school outside of New England, in
the Union. It was opened June
IS, 1S45. The pioneers of this
work were: Michael Frank, Josiah
Bond, Charles Clement. Reuben
Deming, O. E. Dana, Charles Dur
kee, Harvey Durkee, Henry B.
Hinsdale, John B. Jilson, f. w.
Lyman, Hays Mckinley, Theodore
Newell, J. V. Quarles, Serene Fisk,
Samuel Hale. c. Latham Sholes,
Charles Sholes.
In the seventeen men who are named
on the bronze tablet are many men
who gained state wide reputation i'm the
early history of Wisconsin on account
of the fight they made for the free
schools. Michael Frank, whose name
heads the list was the leader in the
movement in Kenosha and he after
ward became known a sthe Father of
the Wisconsin Schools Others on the
list were almost as active in Kenosha
and it is the plan of the Daughters of
the Revolution to hand down some lit
tie of their story to posterity.
There were no ceremonies attending
the placing of the tablet but it is pos
sibie that some little recognition of the
fact will be made at the coming meet
ing of the Kenosha High School asso-
citation to be held a week from next
Saturday.

URGE NEW CALENDAR
British Statesman Would Rear
range Months of Year.
Every Month Would Begin on Sunday
New Year Day and Leap Year
Separate-Many Other Novel
Features in Scheme.

London.-Sir Henry Dalziel. leader
OF the ultra-radicals in the house OF
commons, the father of the bill which
aims at giving Scotland local self
government had just had prepared a
bill to alter the calendar. This bill,
known as the fixed calendar bill, con-
tains some novel features. AS the
memorandum which accompanies II ex-
plains. the bill purposes to substitute
for the present irregular calendar a
fixed calendar having regular periods,
OF which the week is the common
measure.
In this, as In other features, IL diff
fers from the calendar reform bill, in
troduced in the house of commons In
1909, but which never got beyond the
second reading stage.
That bill sought to make the months
as uniform in length as possible, but
as a difference in this respect is un-
avoidable in a year with II months, 1t
is thought better to increase that diff
ference so as to allow of the week be-
ing a common measure of all months.
This arrangement makes it possible
for each month to begin on a Sunday
and end on a Saturday.
A table giving the proposed fixed
calendar shows that the months of
January, February, April May, July,
August, October and November would
each consist of 2S days, while the re-
naming months of March, June, Sep
TENDER and December would each
have SO days. New Year day" is set
apart. thus bringing the total of days
up to the requisite number of 365 days,
while for leap year special day is
set apart for Leap day." which is to
be intercalated between the last day
of June and the first day of July, as re-
constituted by the bill.
clause in the bill provides that
the New Year day and Leap day shall
not he accounted days of the week
and shall not, except where specially
mentioned or provided for be held to
be included in any computation of days
but shall otherwise be public bank
holidays. The conditions of labor on
these days, and the remuneration
therefor under the bill. would conform
as far as possible to what prevails on
Sundays. A fixed date. April Is, is Sc
lected for Easter day.
Finally. the bill. If passed by parlia
ment, will not become operative until
the government decides that sufficient
international concurrence has been Sc
cured.

RARE GRAPES GROW IN PARIS
Miniature Vineyards in French Cap
ital Have Old Vines Which Yield
Well-One of Best Known.

Paris.--Though IT does not, Of
course, take very great proportions.
Paris has an annual vintage season
which cannot be entirely ignored.
Many gardens of the French capital
shelter fine vines, and some. of these
have quite a reputation.
One of the best known of the city's
miniature vineyards is that of the
chamber of deputies. This was Gre
ated in the reign Of King Louis Phil
ippe, when vines were planted in the
Auguesseau and Montesquieu court
yards of the Palais Bourbon. This
years harvest promises to be par
ticularly good one.
The past few days has seen the
gathering of the grapes in many other
parts of the city. The church of
Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile has very produc-
tive vineyard and there is also a
good yearly harvest in a garden close
to the Sacre-Coeur.
The rue Saint-Guillaume saw a gay
little fete when NJ. Trogan, editor of
the Correspondent" entertained
those who write for his review for the
plundering of very fine old vine.
This is an annual affair, and II was
as successful this year as on previous
occasions.
