REPORT OF THE COUNTY SUPER
lNTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
To The Honorable Board of Super

To The Honorable Board OF Super
visors, Rusk County, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:-Her | have the
honor to submit to you for your con
sideration my first annual report as
County Superintendent of Schools foI
Rusk County.
Educational sentiment in the coun-
ty is steadily improving; our people
see more clearly than formerly the
need of a more efficient producer
higher standard Of citizenship, and
the relation of the public schools tC
those needs. AS result of that Wis
ion, old buildings are giving place tc
modern structures; paint and warn,
ish, slate blackboards, hardwood
floors, beautiful pictures, sectional
bookcases, cottage organs, improved
apparatus, first-class heating and ven
tilating plants are transforming the
appearance Of the interior of most
of the school houses of the county,
thus making them healthful, conven-
lent and home-like for the boys and
girls who are spending the formative
period of their lives in them.
Two new buildings, one in Dist.
No. 5, Atlanta, and one in Dist No
| 8, Joint Flambeau and Dewey, are
completed and in use. A $15000.O0
modern graded school building in the
village of Tony will be ready for use
about January first Several other
districts are expecting to build next
summer.
AS you know the State Legislature
at it's last session repealed the Town
ship School system and provided that
all schools shall be organized next
| spring under the independent dis
! trict system This, we believe, will
result in much good to the schools
in Northern Wisconsin, because Of
the many abuses in school admins
tration that it will correct.
The time has come in Rusk Coun-
/ ty as elsewhere that the patrons OF
the rural schools no more expect the
teachers to accomplish fair amount
of good work with poor tools and I'M
der poor conditions than do they ex-
pect such of their hired help.
In years past the County Board of
this county has responded nobly to

DIGNITY OF LAND OWNER.
SHIP

The ownership of land carries
with it certain rights and priv.
ileges, but I firmly believe carries
with it also certain burdens and
certain correlative duties. With
the food problem facing the flu
ture generations, we will gradual
ly come to The opinion that no
man has a right to own an acre
of land and abuse that acre OF
land, because it is the source of
the food of the people. All that
ownership in that land can pos
srbly mean is the right to use that
land and have the income from it
during ones natural life and the
right to control the succession to
that privilege. Hence, in the fu-
ture years, he who owns an acre
of land and uses it to rob it OF
its fertility and leave it less pro-
ductive than when he took it, will
be considered an enemy of socie-
ty, for he will have dissipated the
food resources Of the people. But
he who owns an acre of land and
leaves it at the end of his tenure
richer and more fertile than when
he took it will be considered a
public benefactor and the future
ages will rise up and bless his
name.-Bradford Knapp, at Uni
versity Of Sou.h Carolina.

A CHANCE FOR THE RIGHT
MAN.

New iberia has realized her
dream. The Trolley is here, and
now somewhere to go IS the cry.
To Jeanerette, yes, but we want
some special at raction and we
want it out of town N the big
outdoor. out Of the odors OF the
town into pure country air. we
dream furiously of the extension
to Spanish Lake and this dream
will come ;.rue but it will take
time and in the meantime the
"chance for the right man" pre-
sents itself in bright colors. Find
some clean, well drained ground
apart from the center Of the City,
a bayou frontage if possible. Put
rp an ornament al pavilion, or
out of door theatre, have it So ar
ranged that dances can be given
there also. Have refreshment
stands, ry-go-round or other
attractions for little folks. 1t
looks to- me that under good man.
agement such a venture would
pay from the start.

1.-THE FASTEST GROWING
CITY IN LOUISIANA"

The recent bringing in of a
monster gas well within the cor
poration limits of Shreveport has
given Secretary McColgin, of the
Chamber of Commerce, a fresh
opportunity to exploit the attrac-
tions of the thriving Caddo me-
tropolis. He is making a wide
distribution of a Western Union
lettergram to sustain the claim
that Shreveport is 1.-THE fastest
growing city in Louisiana. "
Here are some of the facts he
sets forth.
Ten factories, employing over
1000 men, established within the
past year.
Over $5,350,000 worth Of new
building done, which for city
with a population of 2S,O15 in
1910 is record without an equal.
Population increase Is per cent
IN ten years.
In same time assessments grew
from 100000 to $15, OOO,OO0 and
postoffice receipts from 81 900 to
$4,000.
The Caddo oil field just north
of the city, produced 5000 bar
rels in 1906. According to the
United States Geological Survey
it produced 100000 barrels
in 1911.
Shreveport is contiguous to the
largest gas field in the world. 1t
has we'll inside its limits with a
capacity Of 100000 cubic feet
a day.
Its paving has increased with
such rapidity that it now has for
ty-two miles of paved streets.
1t has an up-to-date commission
form of government and an auto
mobile fire department.
It built new railroad last year.
Eleven lines of eight railroads
now enter the city.
1t is the largest city within 169
miles by rail. 1t is foodproof. It
is 100 miles from the nearest food
dis riots Of this year.
The parish of which it is the
seat Of government has an assess
ment of $23,O 100000, three times
that of ten years ago, and it is
perhaps the only parish in the
United States without a cent Of
Indebtedness. Caddo is now
spending $3.50, 900 for new roads.
And for climax Mr.. McColgin
proudly says:
Shreveport is the home of DR..
Oscar Downing whose work in
cleaning up the State has aroused
national attention. Naturally
with her AZ miles of paved stree 8
and such citizen, Shreveport
takes pride in being a Spotless
Town. States.
