PRISON TWINE is PERFECT
Waupun Plant Turning Out Satisfac
tory Product - Twenty-Five
Prisoners Are Employed.

Madison.-A ball of binder Irvine
on Gov McGovern's desk in the ex-
ecutive chamber is reminder that
the binder Irvine plant in the state
prison at Waupun has started to turn
out the product for which it was in
tended 1t is fine product, smooth,
strong, bright and commercially per-
feet. It is made from Central Amer
lean sisal and the label says that the
Irvine runs 500 feet to the pound.
The plant is now running sixteen
spindles at capacity and the Irvine
made is said to be gratifyingly uni
form. How much the product of the
plant will be until the plant is fully
equipped and manned is not known.
1t is expected, however, that the
amount will be sufficient to establish
the price if not supply the demand.
So far only $4,000 of the 100000
revolving fund appropriated by the
last legislature has been used in car
rying on the work.
The factory building is said to be
one of the best in the country, per-
fectly equipped with the latest and
best machinery and in respect to
sanitation it is without fault. The
machinery will not only make bind
ing Irvine; it can be adjusted to han
die ffbers for the main fibers of rope.

At the opening session of the con-

She said in part: 1.-THE membership
list of this association for 1911 con-
tains over $500 names. 1t is hoped
that 1912 will show an increased
membership, for that would mean
adequate financial support and an
other good program in 1913. This
association should have a larger pro-
portion of it's 5000 members active
in the PRONUNCIATION of the educa-
tional ideas and ideals for which ii

Mrs. Bradford expressed regret at

the business session several resolu-
lions were passed including one of re-
greet at the death of James Sheridan;
one putting the association on record
as unequivOcally opposed to public
school fraternities and sororities and
planning to urge the legislature to
pass law prohibiting them; one to
urge upon congress the passage OF
an act which will bring into the ele
mentary grades better preparation
for good citizenship; one expressing
congratulations to Woodrow Wilson,
mentioned as "a fellow teacher; one
to endorse the movement for the wild
ening of school movements by. the in
PRODUCTION of more social centers.
Many noted educators spoke at the
three days sessions, which were
largely attended by teachers from all
sections of the state.

Men Need HeIp-Not Charity.

There is higher duty than to build
almshouses for the poor, and that is
to save men from being degraded to
the blighting influence of an aims
house. Man has right to something
more than bread to keep him from
starving. He has a right to the aids
and encouragements and culture, by
which he may fulfill the destiny of a
man, and until society is brought 20
recognize and reverence this it will
continue to groan under its present
miseries. Charming.

COUNTRY SCHOOLS ARE BAD
Board of Public Affairs Dec ares
That Cond tons Are Insani1arY
Loose Methods Alleged.

Madison. - Loose methods and
carelessness are evident in the
school district accounts and the sta
tistics in State Supt Cary's biennial
report are inaccurate, according to
the report of the board of public af-
fairs School buildings and grounds
are said to be in bad condition and
sanitary conditions poor. 1t was
charged that lat out of 354 of the
reports of town clerks were inaccu-
rate.
These results were discovered in
the investigation conducted by the
board under the general direction OF
DR.. William H. Allen, director of
the Training School for Public Serv-
ice, conducted by the bureau of mu-
nicipa1 research of New York.
The report says: I'm obtaining and
interpreting the facts here reported
we have received the unstinted CO.
operation of state and county super
intendents, teachers and other indi-
viduals interested in public educa-
ton in all parts of Wisconsin. The
findings are based upon a general ex-
animation of condition in twenty
seven counties in widely separated
portions of the state and upon a
more detailed investigation of con-
counties"
Several instances are given of
school houses in wealthy rural dis
tricts, which are said to be "inde-
scribably filthy"
A good part of the report is de-
voted to pointing out specially good
points in the rural schools of the
state. 1t shows that in spite of de-
fects in organization, lack of au-
thority, and inadequacy of clerical
help on the part of county superin-
tendents, many instances have been
found where a strong personality
has found ways of effectively direct
ing school board, supervising teach
ers, starting instruction in useful
arts and helping teachers to be lead
ers in community life.
At the end of the report are Sc
ries of legislative and administrative
remedies. Among the remedies are
county boards of education to be
elected at the general school cleo
ton; appointment of the county SUI
perintendent by the county board;
better pay for county superintend-
ents; higher qualifications and high
er pay for teachers, effective super
vision; more equitable distribution
of school funds and new classifica-
ton of rural schools.
