The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1912-11-28

The contrast between the "high
falutin" subjects of composition and
essays on which schools have been re-
quiring their pupils to write and the
prosaic and practical topics to which
most people have had to limit their
writing after leaving school, is an apt
illustration of the gap between school
and life which present movements in
education are seeking to bridge
"Teachng Language Through Agri-
culture and Domestic Science is the
title of a recent publication by the
L. S. Bureau Of Education which will
be of much assistance to schools in this
connection. 1t gives directions for
language training by means of practi-
cal subjects, and provides escape for
Johnny and Mary from such abstract
subjects as "Vrtue Has Its Rewards, "
Friendship" Honesty is the Best
Policy" "Across the Alps Lies Italy,"
etc Copies of the pamphlet may be
secured free on application TO the Bur-
eau of Education, Washington, d. G.

Superintendent @. O. Banting Of the
Stoughton city schools has entered up
on campaign against the sellers of
cigarettes to young boys and an effort
will be made to prosecute all the gull
ty parties, writes the Stoughton corre-
spondent of the Madison Democrat.
Continuing, the article referred TO
says;
"It is said that some dealers in the
city obtain great profit from the trade
and that boys of eight, nine and ten
years OF age can get all the cigarettes
that they have money to pay for. Some
boys even steal the means with which
to buy. Professor Banting states that
the matter came up at the state teach
ers' convention and resolution was
adopted to the effect that n crusade
against the habit be started in every
community. Police officers will be
asked TO make arrests where proof OF
violations are obtainable. II is now
realized that the cigarette habit among
children is not only undermining the
health of the nation, but robbing the
boys of the ambition necessary for good
and useful citizenship"

ITEMS FROM the PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

PRAIsEwoRTHY.-We understand
that at meeting of the members Of
Hook & Ladder Co. No. l, held few
evenings since, they resolved to have a
party and ball in two or three weeks
on large SCALE, the proceeds to be
applied for the benefit of the families
of those unfortunate persons who may
be drafted in this county. The affair
will come off some time after Christmas;
and from the fact that the boys of Hook
& Ladder Co. will have charge of it,
we may expect good time. Besides,
1 the object is such praiseworthy one,
| that we doubt not the proceeds will
amount to handsome sum.
NAvIGATIoN.-Notw the
lateness of the season, the steamers
Comet and Sunbeam are running pretty
regularly between Milwaukee and this
port and Two Rivers, and will continue
to do so until Jack Frost comes down
too hard on them.
AT this time OF the year we would
very much prefer to be editor of n
country newspaper poor as the busi-
ness is-than Captain of a lake steamer.
Captains Pabst and Morgan have our
warm sympathy, and their clerks,
Messrs Hurson and Gardiner, our kind
regards. When we get to be Presi-
dent the whole four shall he members
of our Cabinet, or receive fat contracts.
The price of white paper for news
papers has gone upto 20cents erpound
in New York. This is an advance of
about one hundred per cent on former
prices. viii the subscribers to the
Pilot bear in mind that this new bur-
den of expense falls heavily upon us,
and we can i'll afford to put up with it
unless they make prompt payments.
Come, friends, assist us to get over the
coming winter.
SCHOOL TEACHER WANTED. A male
teacher wanted in District No 3, town

December 4, 1862.
LUMBERING.-Acti preparations
have been made this fall for numbering
in this vicinity on large scale. We
have no doubt that more logs will be
got out the coming winter than Tor
several past seasons. The rapid rise
in the price of the article in Chicago is
a strong inducement for our numbering
men to 'dig in"
FROZEN ovER.-The river was frozen
over on Monday night, and the boys
skated on its CLASSY surface on Tues
day.
RICHMOND NOT YET TAKEN. Weeks
have elapsed since McClellan's remov-
al, and yet Richmond is not taken. 1t
is now said that our army is going into

blame now? What say his Abolition
enemies?
