URGE SOCIAL CENTER PLANS
Committee, After Study Of the Rural
Schools All Oyer State, Urges Many
Plans for Advancement of Work for
Children in Farm ing Communities.

II the rural schools of Wisconsin
are to keep progress with other
lines Of thought and development,
three things must be done Immediately
according to the report of the COM
mittee Of fifteen which has been
studying this subject the past two
years Secretary ". E, Larson an
nopnced the findings of the committee
in preliminary statement today,
summarized as. follows:
Country schools must have better
trained teachers with sufficient salary
to keep them at their work.
Consolidation of rural schools
Should be brought about wherever
feasible, and the work Of the country
school should be extended 50 that the
child can geC an education adapted to
its needs.
Social center work shouldlbe encour-
Iaged in country districts; meetings
should be held to discuss rural prob
lens and thus build up an intelligent
sentiment in every community,
Important information bearing upon
the rural school problem was brought
to the committee Is meetings last Fri
day and Saturday by s. G, Lindholm,
who has been investigating it under
the direction of the state board of
public affairs, Mr.. Lindholm finds
that the country child leaves school
very early and as a result the commu-
nifty is seriously handicapped by lack
LOT sufficiently trained citizens. He
declared that the country communities
are at a disadvantage in their com
petition with cities.
s The social center movement has
made greater progress in Wisconsin
than most people suppose, said Sec
rotary Larson. School contests,
Isefool clubs, and school programs Of
J arious kinds bring people together.
In some sections the state farmers
clubs are doing excellent work.
" Communities vary greatly in re-
gard to the efficiency Of the schools
they maintain. Reports were made of
schools that are a disgrace to the
state. On the other hand, in some To-
calities the schools are excellent AS
"a rule the best schools are to be
found where the teachers have had
special preparation for their work.
The country communities are in need
LOT secondary education especially
adapted to their needs. The country
high school will become an essential
factor in rural development. 2

We believe that the great majority
|of Kenosha people are in favor of
sane Fourth and that being the case
It, is none too early for the city
authorities to make it plain to all
dealers in fireworks that the ordinance
against the sale of dangerous explo-
Isiyes anywhere inAthe city is to be
enforced to the letter this year. Most
of the dealers in this city favor a
sane Fourth, but the exceptions to this
rule should be given notice that if
they bring any fireworks which are
under the ban into the city they will
not be allowed to dispose of them and
that no violations of the ordinance
will be winked at in order to permit
any dealer to escape loss on his stock.
A timely warning may save trouble.
Ia this connection some figures COM
piled from the report of the New York
City sane Fourth committee by the
Evening Wisconsin may be of interest:
!" In 1909, it seems, twenty cities han
sane Fourths, and the people killed
and injured by reason of the eelebra-
ton numbered 5000 In 1910 ninety
one cities celebrated sanely and the
list Of killed and wounded shrank to
1923, and in 1911, when the number
of cities standing for sane Fourth
was one hundred and sixty.one, the.
number of casualties dWindled to
l,6Q5. So the committee declares that
three years of sane Fourths have saw
ed six thousand persons from injury
and death -

A picture historically true, related
by Cardinal Gibbons, an adventure OF
a priest in France, sentenced to death
for murder and keeps silent, al
though the culprit had confessed to
him. By his superiors in the church
he is, the leader says, ex-communicat-
ed, and dies rather than reveal the Sc
cret of the confessional. Later as
with all evil doors, retribution comes
to the scoundrel.

a village belle, Jess was seized by the

citement.

WILL LAWMAKERS GET
STILL LARGER SALARIES?
Requires Amendment Of Con.
StitutiOn

Atlanta, Ga, June 29.-The people
of Georgia may be asked to raise the
salary of their lawmakers, as we'll as
give them more money for their ex-
penses. They want seven dollars a
day, instead of four and ten cents a
mile for travelling expenses instead of
seven cents. Probably the high cost
of living is the cause for this situa-
ton g
In order to get more pay the legis-
lature will not only have to sanction
its own request, but get the endorse
ment of the people by popular vote.
The measure which has been intro
duced calling for more salary involv
es an amendment to the constitution
What the outcome will be is a matter
of conjecture 1t should be stated,
however, that other bills of similar
importance have failed of passage in
past years, and the odds are said to
be against this measure.
