PROGRAM A RECORD BREAKER
People of the State Expected to Take
a Great Interest in the Program
Offered at the Milwaukee Meeting
in November.

Tt took a, good deal Of courage, and
an immense amount of confidence in
the school teachers of Wisconsin, tt
prepare such program as is to be Civ
en- in Milwaukee at the State Teacher I
Association November 9th, 10th and
18th. It cost lot of money, it took a
lot of time, and it required a large
amount of labor.
It was prepared in the belief that
Wisconsin teachers know a good thing
when they see it, and appreciate it at
it's face value. It is the best program
ever offered at state teachers asso.
citation in Wisconsin.
If it is appreciated as it deserves, we
shall have such an attendance at Mil
waukee as will encourage the future
officers of the state association to offer
equally good programs, and better, if
possible.
But this meeting is not one of in
terest to teachers alone. The teach
ers have no monopoly of interest in
such men and women and such sub
jects as are to be presented at Mil
walkee. Never was such an~array of
names seen on the program Of the W.
7. A.
Here are ten out of the twenty who
may be heard: David Starr Jordan of
Leland Stanford University, the great
western educator; Booker T. Washing.
ton, of Tuskegee, the great southern
educator; Sarah Louise Arnold, of
Boston, the great woman orator of the
profession; Dean Henry L. Bailey, of
Cornell, a leading authority on agricul-
tural education for rural schools; VIM,
r. George, of the George Junior Re
public greatest reformer of juvenile
delinquents; VIM. Goodell Frost, of
Berea, KY, authority on southern
mountain whites; Frances E. Meow
ern, of Milwaukee, the eloquent gov
ernor of Wisconsin; Earl Barnes, of
Philadelphia, the celebrated university
extension lecturer; Edith Smith Davis,
world s superintendent of w. G. II. u.
educational work; Henry Turner Bailey
of Massachusetts,, a leading authority
on school manual arts.
These speakers and ten others are
eminent educators; they are also
eminent orators, who will make them
selves heard.
The teachers of Kenosha are all 90
ing and the schools will be closed Nov.
9th and 10th on that account. Besides
the ninety teachers whom Kenosha will
send to this meeting, there should be
large attendance of others who are
interested in the most important edu-
cational questions of the day.
The Evening News will publish the
day before, the program for each sue
ceeding morning, afternoon and evening
session, so that the people may know
when the lectures of interest to them
are to occur. Most of the meetings
will be in the Auditorium.
A membership ticket costing soc for
women and $1.00 for men may be
bought at the office of the superinten-
dent of schools. This ticket will adj
nit to any or all of the above. The
clerk at the Office will wait upon any
one at any time who may call for
ticket.

The electric lines might supply the
agents at their stations with bear traps
or some other device which will enable
them occasionally to catch some of the
petty thieves who break in and wreck
the stations at regular intervals. The
losses are generally small, but it must
be annoying to the officials of the com
pany to think that their stations are
practically at the mercy of the vandals
who destroy more than they take away
with them.

Industrial Association Off.
Gals to Secure Improve
ments for New Tract
ROPE FACTORY TO Be RUSHED

Members of the Kenosha Industrial
Association met with Frank McCombel
of the McComber-Whyt Company at
the new subdivision north of the city
OH Friday afternoon with view OF
furnishing some sewer and water serv.
ice for the subdivision. McComber is
to have charge of the building OF the
plant and he is now ready to go ahead
with the work. The officials of the
association have been given to under
stand that the laying of the water
mains to the/site of the new plant will
be started the first of next week and
it is expected to have it completed
within fortnight.
The plans for the sewers in The sub
division has not been wholly worked
out, but the officials of the association
are hopeful that instead of building a
drain to the creek that it will be pos
sible to build twelve inch sewer lead
ing from the factory site south on Ra-
cine avenue to connect with the Divi-
sion street sewer. It is thought that if
fall enough can be secured for the
sewer that this will offer an excellent
solution of the problem of taking care
Of the subdivision. Racine avenue is
now pretty well built up on the east
side and all of the people are anxious
to secure a sewer on the street. IL the
arrangement can be made to go into
the Division street sewer it is thought
that the industrial association will be
able to save some money and at the
same time furnish the subdivision with
the best possible kind of a sewer. The

The general impression among the
patrons of the schools and the members
of the board of education has been that
our high school has made more frequent
changes in principals and teaching
force than other schools Of the same
grade in the state, but such is not the
case. AS matter of fact as shown
by the new official school directory of
Wisconsin the percentage of changes
in the Kenosha school is not as high
as the average for all of the high
schools in the state The showing made
of the instability of the teaching forces
IN the high schools is not encouraging

standard Of efficiency in the Kenosba
