BOYS CLUB BANQUET.

a banquet was given Monday night
at the boys club rooms by the inner
circle of the boys club. About 100
were in attendance among the number
being several members of the county
board and few county officers. r.. A.
Taite acted as POSTMASTER. Judge
Baensch and "A. L. Hougen were the
principal speakers. If the members OF
the club follow the advice given by
each speaker, the banquet will not
have been given in vain.
Other speakers were Olaf Lundberg,
DR.. G. NJ. Gleason and Lawrence Led
vina.
The guests were treated to palat-
able chicken supper served by Mrs.
Jos. Willinger.

FINDS FOR PLAINTIFF,

After being in litigation over two
years the case of the Long Lake Lum-
ber Co. VS., Knechte e. Treastik, was
decided last week by Judge Baensch
before whom The case was tried, as re-
feree. Judge Baensch found for the
plaintiff giving a judgment for 1880
with interest on claim of $500. The
defendants filed a counter claim OF
$1,000 which was allowed at $500. The
case arose out of a contract by which
the defendants were to do logging on
land owned by the company in Forest
county. Attorney G. T., Brady repre-
sented the plaintiffs and f. f. Groelle
and A. j. Schmitz of Milwaukee were
attorneys for defendants. 1t was a
hard fought case, big case, and Atty.
Brady may well feel proud of the VIC
tory he has won.

EDUCATIONAL.
(BY C. W. MEISNEST.
OUTDOOR EDUCATION.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION.
"Book-larnin, is not all there is to
education. Whittier tells us how the
barefoot boy gets much knowledge new
er learned in schools In his "Snow-
Bound he tells us of his uncle who
was
Innocent of books,
But rich in lore of fields and brooks. F"
The farmers child has y wonderful
opportunity to get an all-round educa-
| ton. He comes in contact with nature
constantly. His senses are gate-ways
of knowledge through which facts en-
ter continually. A part of his educa-
tion should be to train these senses in
such way that these gateways may
be kept open. Train the child to use
his eyes and ears and he will learn new
things every time he goes about.
To aid in developing this power of
observation we have in our schools
what we cali Nature Study. We wish
the child to acquire this power of self
education and hence we guide him in
his observation. We live in the midst
OF trees, plants, animals, birds, insects,
and--in fact, a whole world of interest
ing things. Yet how maSy go through
the wortd blind, because their eyes
were not opened at time of life when
their souls could learn to appreciate
the beautiful. OF many person it
may be said,
"a primrose by the rivers brim,
A yellow primrose was to him,
And it was nothing more"
Let us not despise the things learned
out of school. In fact, our schools
should correlate their work more with
outdoor experiences. A more thorough
development would be the result.
There ought to be more outside arith-
metc and geography work, Physical
geography taught exclusively indoors
should be given another name. Too
often we find pupils who spent consid-
cradle time in physics unable to recog-
nize its principles in the numheress
applications around us. a student
spends year in geometry and yet is at
sea when given single problem out
side of the memorized set of theorems.
Poetry itself loses half its beauty when
the reader is unable to follow his spir-
itual guide and interpreter through
natures by-way,.
There is growing belief that our
schools, especi'ily those of our cities,
are being overcrowded with bookish
subject matter. Let US not make the
same mistake in our country schools.
Let us season our instruction with a
goodly portion of common sense. Let
us teach children to see things as well
AS to read books.

CITY METHODS ATTACKED.

Summonses and complaints were serv
ed Monday in an action by William
Rahr, Sr., against the city of Manito
voc and its mayor, clerk, treasurer ant
each individual member of the boart
of aldermen.
The history eliminating in this cour,
proceeding is briefly this:
Many years ago the city issued "rail
road bonds" Some of these bonds
were refunded at maturity, that is
reissued instead of being retired. The
last block of these refunding bonds fell
due Nov. l., 1912, in amount 10000.
Some years ago the city began to &C
cumuate fund to meet and retire
these bonds when they should become
due Nov. |, 1912. This was done by
taxation, $1,000 some years and $40, 200
! in other years. The whole fund raised
thus was the amount needed to retire
| the old bonds, $4,000.
In the summer of 1911 the city was
ordered to pay, including everything,
approximately $250,000 for the water
works plant which the city had pur-
chased. Before knowing the price
that would be finally fixed, the city, to
raise the purchase price, had proceed
ed to authorize bond issue of $3.50, 900
bearing four per cent interest. Right
here is what strikes an unbiased OBJ
server as the cause of all the trouble.
Four per cent bonds would not sell at
par except in small driblets. Selling
at discount is unlawful. AVS would
have sold in a block, even at a slight
premium. If AIS had been issued all
would have been well.
The new bonds not being sold the
city was in desperate straits to get the
$3.50, 900 to become due to the Water
Company on October l, 1911.
Among other expedients resorted to
was the borrowing" of $4,000 of the
$50, 600 in the sinking fund.
Fear of what would happen if the
water plant should be rendered to the
city on Oct. |, 1911 and the purchase
money not be available made the city
get the money without question of the
regularity of the methods of getting it
1t was thought that within a few
months enough of the 4 per cent muni-
cipal water works bonds would be sold
to clarity the situation. But the bond
sale Jagged. About $4,000 remain
unsold with no market.
After waiting year for the money
to be replaced in the sinking fund, and
until the old railroad bonds had matur-
ed Mr.. Ranr as an interested tax payer
sues to compel the restoration of the
money to the sinking fund, to prevent
borrowing to pay the old bonds and to
prevent deferring payment of the old
bonds. Not enough of the old bonds
have been presented to embarrass the
city, but they may come in any day.
There is no suggestion of any i'm
proper motive by anyone connected
with the case, or of any gain or i'm
proper advantage. Everything has
been in good faith and at the worst
entails but error of Judgment. The
present case might possibly be adjust
ed peaceably by the water department
iinding means to replensn the sinking
fu0d. Other alleged irregularities
I'springing from the same causes may
then be the grounds of further pro-
ceedngs.
