Our Young CdrtOOniSt.

In the Sunday issue of the Milwaukee
Journal, was cartoon drawn by Christie
L. May of this city, depicting events in a
pictorial way which might happen in
Watertown during the Band convention
Saturday and Sunday. In the cartoon
is a float on which band of musicians
are evidently making altthe noise they
can. The representatives of the Water
loo and WatertOWn ball teams and the
umpire-and the stuffed goose which
has given this city quite reputation
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, was not
forgotten by the young cartoOnist. 1t is
the first attempt of Christie who is but a
school lad and gives promise of talent
in that line Of endeavOr and he may de-
velop into a McCutchen or a Heaton.
The Journal in speaking of the cartoon
said:
''Watertown's big convention has
aroused even the artists of the city,
Christ L. May submitted this cartoon to
The Journal. The convention which
was held yesterday and will end tonight
is proving huge success, about thirty
bands being on hand. Splendid weather
made every detail of the program from
the floral auto parade to the concerts
and the home coming feature possible.
1t is understood, of course, the the
above is a cartoon and was not drawn by
the young artist from anything he saw.

The Pay Of Teachers

In discussing some phases OF the

out the fact that in the 'pack dis

more children, the schools are COM

compiled by the United States Com
missioner of Education show that
while the average monthly salary or
teachers has increased materially in
the last ten years the average annual
pay Of teachers is still less than $500.
In the ten-year period covered by the
commissioners figures the average
monthly salary Of men teachers rose
SS per cent and that Of women teach

the average teacher is drawing a
