PHYSICAL SOUNDNESS OF
SCHOOL CHILDREN

Concluding paragraph Of a report
by the Russell Sage Foundation
on what American cities are doing
for the health of school children:
We are beginning to realize that
the public schools are a public trust.
When the parents deliver a child to
their care they have a right to ex-
pect that the child under the super
vision of the school authorities will
be safe from harm and will at least
be handed back to them in as good
condition as he was at first. Individ-
ual efficiency rests not alone on edu-
cation or intelligence, but is equally
dependent on physical health and Wig
or. Hence, if the state may make
mandatory trainings in intelligence
it may also demand training to secure
physical osundness and capacity Muci
time will elapse before there will be
brought to bear in all schools meas
sures now so successfully pursued in
some for preserving and developing
the physical soundness of rising
generations. Nevertheless the move
ment is so intimately related to the
future welfare of our country and
is being pushed forward with sc
great energy and earnestness that
it is destined to be successful and
permanent

HOME GARDENING DONE
BY THE PUPILS OF OUR
SCHOOLS
Contributed

The school committee of the Wo-
mems Federation of Clubs have fur
nished the children in the different
school buildings with vegetable and
flower seed at a penny a package.
The children are to plant the seed
and attend their own gardens. AS
the vegetables are matured they may
sell them if they choose retain the
money or give it to charitable work,
but keep an account of how much
sold and the value of the same and
give or send this to Mrs Eggert,
chairman of the committee. The
flowers may be gathered in boquets
brought to anyone of the committee
where a record will be kept of all
be distributed free to the hospital, all
the different churches and to the shut
ms of our city. The last week in
August the ladies will give a vegeta
bic and flower show at which time
prizes will be given for the best dis,
play of the different kinds of flow
ers and vegetables on exhibit, grown
by the school children. 1t is earn
estly requested by the committee that
the parents give their children all the
encouragement possible in this work,
for by so doing they are helping to
plant the love of Nature in the young
hearts of their children giving them
work which is both useful as we'll
as instructive and we are deepening
the thought of more beautiful home
as well as city.
Nature is one of the training schools
for higher morals and better citizen
ship.
ANY further instruction in this work
can be obtained from any member of
the school committee.

ROLLER RINK
CLOSED
Concert and Skating Party a
Great Success.

Those who were present at the
Skating Rink, Friday night were
surely impressed with the fact that
it was the closing skating party of the
season. The skating floor space was
so crowded by the lovers of that a.
musement that it was hardly enjoy
able. The music by the local band
was fine and therefore made skating
more enticing and the skating rink
building was crowded to its ut
most. The spectators appeared to
enjoy the music and watched the
skaters. The ladies of the Congrega-
tional church furnished refreshments
and everyone appeared to enjoy great
ly the evenings entertainment. Those
who own skates and have them at
the rink can secure them anytime un-
til Monday evening.

RED-HORSE SUCKERS GAL ORE

Monday morning the Consolidated
Pulp &c Water Power Co. closed up
the gates in their dam tightly so as
to hold all the water in the pond.
This act left the water in the Wis
consin river below the dam almost per
fectly dry and many men and boys
went in and gathered probably 1000
lbs, of red horse sucker fish, some
weighing as high as seven and eight
lbs, a piece. One young man who
caught eighteen weighed them and
together they weighed SO lbs This
method is one by which nearly anyone
can catch fish.

A LESSON
THAT MAY BRING
GOOD RESULTS

| Farmers generally in this neck of
woods feel the burden imposed upon
them by the drouth conditions of last
summer. More especially is this true
of the dairyman who found in the dead
of winter that his stock of fodder
would have to be replenished by buy
| II 6 or his cattle suffer and perhapl
die in consequence For this reason
thousands of tons of hay had to be
purchased to winter over herds that
heretofore We're no source of expense
to the owner except insofar as the
grass land that is boastful of its big
grass and clover crops, in a land wheri
the past thirty years no such thing
as a failure of this crop has been re-
corded, the change from an exporter
to an importer is shadowed by grief
by hundreds of farmers that had to
buy at fancy price instead of hav-
ing a few tons of hay for sale. Tie
drouth of last summer and the try
ing circumstances that followed is
history from which the farmers of
this section may well take a lesson.
1t is to be hoped like conditions will
never again visit us but as long as
we have no other alternative but ac-
cept conditions as buffeted out to us
by a supreme being it is up to
every dairyman to prepare the best
he can for a like emergency And
to be candid, although the lesson is
severe, the experience of last summer
and winter will not be without its
good results in more ways than one.
It will teach more preparatory work,
for instance the building of silos and
the culture of silage, the betterment
of herds by better breeding and check
the needless sale of cloverand timo-
thy in years of plenty to the disregard
of home consumption. In conclusion
it is pleasing to note the rapid stride
being made by the farmers of Wood,
Clark and Marathon counties as re
CARDS silo building. A silo in years
gone by was considered a luxury en-
ioyed by only favored few. The
past two years has witnessed the e
rection of thousands of them and if
we do not mistake the temper of the
farmer it won't be but a few years
before one or more Will grace every
farm of any consequence in the coun-
ties named When this is accom-
plished and the average farmer has e
ducated himself to the raising and
feeding of stlage the milk can will tell
a story undreamed of by the present
day dairyman. Statistics point to
central and northern Wisconsin as
being the most favored dairying belt
of any state in the union blessed with
pure air, water and an abundance of
grasses and clover from which the
choicest of cheese and butter can be
produced. In every eastern and south
ern market you will find the Wiscon-
sin product, either butter or cheese,
takes first place, the judgment placeG
upon it being quality and flavor. The
future is therefore most promising
for this section of the state to become
a dairying center unequaled anywhere
With the Improvement of the thou
sands of acres of wild lands, winter
dairying and more scientific farming,
who but an optomist can but see the
stream of gold that will follow. Marsh
field Herald.
