Prepares Reply on Rural Schools.

State Superintendent of Public In
struCtion c. =. Cary may make reply
to the state board of public affairs re
port on conditions in rural schools,
following the publication of the report
OF his committee of fifteen on condi-
tions in the rural schools
The board of public affairs report
showed that there were many condi-
lions in the rural school of the state
which can be corrected and strength
ened, and the state superintendent is
said to feel that this is in part criti-
cism of his office. His committee has
been investigating the matter apart
from the state board and, it is said,
will present matters in a different
light from the state boards report.
With this foundation Mr.. Cary win be
able to make reply to the public af
fairs board investigators.
Mr. Carey declined to discuss the
matter.

Feathered Stock Exhibit January 2.
The exhibition of the Wisconsin
Feathered Stock association, which in
recent years has become an annual
event. will be held in the Auditorium,
Milwaukee, January to 5 inclusive,
according to the board of directors.
The exhibition, it is announced, will
be somewhat enlarged this year While
in hepast the small halls in the Audi
forum we're sufficient to accommodate
the poultry show, the entries this year
are so numerous that it will necessi-
tate the use of the main hall.
Up to this time no less than 1000
exhibits have been entered, including
almost every variety of feathered
stock. The largest number has been
received from chicken fanciers, while
pigeon, pheasants, wild ducks and
geese will also be on view in addition
to rabbits and guinea pigs
A large pond in the center of the
hall will be provided, around which
the cages are to be placed Numerous
contests have been arranged. Prizes
will be awarded to the owners of the
hens that lay the most eggs during the
exhibition, and also for beautifully
colOred eggs. Races between carrier
pigeons will be daily events.
Considering the number and variety
of attractions, the coming poultry
show bids fair to attract thousands of
bird faneiers and a host Of enthusiasts.

life, in no conspicuous way related to
most of the services they are required

$4,000 annually. The boards duties
include almost four times as much
work as they can do as it should be
done"

of the board the speaker said that the
state pays s12,500 to five persons and
gives them permission 10 execute a
