The members of the Twentieth Cen
fury club met at the home of Mrs.

Mrs. Bevelyn Clark had charge of the
Federation feature and prepared a
most interesting paper on "Out Door
Schools. she told of the first fresh air
school being opened in Germany, then
in London, England, in 1907, and
America soon followed their lead, by
establishing our first fresh air school

OF the 10000 school children in the
Boston schools it was found by medi-
cal inspection that 81 per cent require
open air treatment. In thej last two
years the growth has been rapid; since
January, 1910, the number has grown
from Is until there are so cities in 10
states that have schools, Massach u
sets alone having Sc. Mrs. Henry
Mertzke handled the subject of "Milk
Butter and Cheese, telling us that
Wisconsin ranks first in butter and
cheese production and that New York
alone bought 100000 pounds of cheese
from Wisconsin in one year. Mrs.

A Vigorous Protest.
(From Fridays Daily.)

To the Editor: I am one of those
who attended the mock trial at the
high school last evening and wish
through your columns to say flew
words about the noise and confusion
that was permitted during the entire
progress of the trial. L occupied a
seat near the front part of
the auditorium and yet could
hear very, very little of what was
said by those we came to hear, due to
the disgraceful conduct of about forty
or fifty boys in the back of the audi
forum who amused themselves by
shooting paper wads, talking, laugh
ing and shutting their feet. In adj
dition to these annoyances a group of
boys would periodically make trips
from the rear of the room to the en-
trance stamping their feet as they
walked along and by their noise
drowning the words of the speakers.
If these young men expect the bust
ness men and citizens of Baraboo to
support their entertainments, ethey
ought TO learn how to behave.

excused from shop work in order
that their schooling might go on
more regularly and for longer
periods each day. At Clinton
prison school sessions are from
7:45 to 1890 a. M, and 12:45 to
$50 p. m. This schedule was
arranged SO that shop work
could go on with as little inter-
ruption as possible.
The training Of teachers is one
of the tasks of the paid instruc-
tor. There are plenty Of edu-
Gated convicts who are capable
and willing to teach their igno-
rant fellows, but have not the
faculty of teaching others. They
must be taught how to teach.
NO ILLERATE
The schooling of convicts was
begun during the incumbency of
&c. v. Collins as state superin-
tendent of prisons. Collins re-
|gime was discredited when COM
missioners who reviewed his adj
ministration for the governor re-
ported culpability in the matter
of contracts for prison supplies.
Whatever Collins may have to
explain in regard to the criti-
cised contracts and supplies, he
deserves mention for three re-
forms in prison life; he abolished
striped clothing and the lockstep,
and he inaugurated schools for
conviets who knew little on no
English, who were illiterate and
to a degree. for those conVicts
who would make the effort in
prison to recover such schooling
as they may have enjoyed in
youth and to continue along the
paths of learning as far as the
limited curriculum permitted.
Today no prisoner is dis
charged from q New York state
institution an illiterate. This
can be stated as a general propo-
sition. Teachers IN convict
schools have found an occasional
Individual of low mentality, In
variably past middle age, who
apparently could not grasp even
the preIiminaries of what the
prison school had to offer. The
teachers would not state as a
sociological fact that such indi-
viduals could not learn. but the
minds in question appeared SC
obtuse that after more than a
reasonable period Of schooling
the billiards were turned back
into the ranks that their places
might betaken by more pliablt
subjects
