MANITOWOC'S EVENING SCHOOL

Mantowocs Evening School was
opened very alspiciously at the First
Ward School, on November 20, with an
enrolment of forty-two, which has since
grown TO about two hundred, requiring
the use of both the High School and
Luling buildings in order to better ac-
commodate the students.
At present there are ten classes en-
gagged in different kinds of work at diff
ferent stages of development. There
are beginners classes for people just
learning to read and write English,
and there are also classes In Arithme-
| tic, United States History, Stenogra-
ply, Bookkeeping, Mechanical Draw
ing, Commercial Law, Commercial
Correspondence, Typewritlng and Shop
Work 1t is the intention to make the
work as practical and useful to the
people In their present employment rs
| it Is possible under the circumstances
to make it. At present, the school is
in session Mondays and Thursdays from
7:l5 to 0:l5. A splendid beginning has
been made In Manitowoc, and it is
most gratifying to hear the many ex'
pressions of commentator for the work
done in this school.
According To the new industrial edu
cation laws OF the State of Wisconsin
| it is now the duty Of boards OF educa
tion, in cities of five thousand and
above, to appoint local board Of in
dustrial education, whose duty 1t shall
be to establish and maintain industrial

schools. Such board Is to consist of the
city superintendent OF schools and foul
other members, two employers of labor
and two employees, and they are tS

COLD SPELL BROKEN.

The cold weather broke last Satur-
day, Jan. IL, and since then we have
had normal winter weather. The
average daily temperature during the
cold spell was 8 degrees below zero
and the maximum % degrees. In 1899
during the cold spell from Jan. q to
Feb. Is, the average below zero was
81 degrees and the maximum 20 de-
grees. The recent cold spell has beat
the record for below zero weather.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1912-01-18

At the first meeting of the Industrial
Board, Mr.. Zimmers was elected presi-
dent and Mr.. Daeke secretary.
As the Industrial Board is without
funds at present, the Board of Etluca-
tion has agreed to advance the neces-
sary funds TO support the school this
year, and this money will be returned
by the Industrial Board in January,
1913.
Not the least of the good feature of
this work is its spirit; the eagerness;
the interest; the helpfulness, on the
part Of the taught and of the teacher.
Education is so common and our young
people are put in the way Of it so east
ly, that many OF them accept it as
process TO be endured rather than
prize TO be sought. But visit class
in the night school; the scholars are
ambitious young women and men rang
ing in age from fifteen to sixty-two
years. They have left their days
work at six o'clock, hurried home; have
eaten hastily; have cleaned up and are
in their classroom ready for business
at seven.
A well known university has upon
one of its bulletins the words. "It Is
the way in which our hours of freedom
are spent that determines, as much as
war or as labor, the moral worth of
nation" The school system which
provides for spending leisure hours SO
proftably is most ideally helping citi-
zenship. To-day, education is for all
and "You count 70. what you will"

; he being i'll less than an hour. In the
evening he was apparently in good
health and spirits. Along towards IL
o'clock he complained Of being i'll and
at ll:3O passed away. His death was
due to heart failure.
The news of Col. Graham's death
was shock to his relatives and friends
here. He left here in the fall to spend
the winter with his daughter In Chica-

Lieut.. Graham won mention for brav-
cry. Though he enlisted for only 80
days Mr.. Graham re-enlisted and on
Sept. Is, 1862, he was commissioned a
captain of Co. A 18th Iowa, and was
later promoted to major of his regi-

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The council met in regular session
Monday evening and almost established
a record, being in session less than an
hour. Engels and Goetzler were the
only absentees.
A petition of Frank Perondel was
read expressing his objections to pay
ing taxes on horse which he alleges
he sold long before assessment time
last spring. The petition was referred
to the committee on assessment.
An ordinance was read granting per-
mission to the c. & N. w. Ry. Co. to
lay side-track at the Rahr Sons Com
pany's new plant. The committee on
railroads by Frazier and Anderson re-
commended that it be printed and
made an order of business for Feb. 5th
and the report was adopted
The Traction Co. committee report
ed orally by Chairman Plumb that they
might be ready with recommendations
az OilC uCAU luCCOluk.
The street commissioners report of
cement work during 1911 was read. 1t
shows that his department laid during
the year 280O feet Of concrete cutters,
1903 feet OF walks and 600 feet Of COM
bination curb and cutters.
The mayor brought up the subject
of more pumping facilities at the city
water plant to increase the city's fire
protection. He said the matter was
up to the city fire commission but that
if the council wanted to have new
pump installed, making better the fire
protection which the state railway
commission has declared is already ad-
equate, why, then, the city commission
would think it but fair to the water
department that the city pay more hy-
drant rental for the increased service
This precipitated debate between
Besant and Thorison, the former in
sisting that /. comes with i'll grace
from merchants to now raise this ques-
tion when it was not pressed while the
plant was in private hands. Thorison
explained that it was not new mat
ter but one often discussed in past
years. No action was taken.
The resignation Of Alderman Schel-
lin was read. A motion was carried
accepting it and thanking the retiring
alderman for his years of faithful SER
vice, his colleague Lippert alone vot-
ing against letting him 60.
The mayor said ~ could weep few
tears over Schellin. He has been a
faithful ppblic servant" The resigna-
tion is presumed to be in the interest
OF Schellin's candidacy for the place OF
sexton. Schellin is one OF the old tim
ers and while not brilliant member
was a very important factor In all
COZ neil doings. Manitowoc never had
an os.cial who meant better or who
worked more faithfully for the city
than has Schellin. Upon request oi
Lippert an election to flll the vacancy
was deferred until the next meeting.

EVOLUTION OF FARMING

Nothing is done on the farm to-day
as 1t was twenty-five years ago.
The city banker or merchant, born
and brought up on the farm and who
left it twenty-five or thirty years ago
haven't the faintest conception of how
farmer lives to-day, if his memory is
all he depends on to give him that i'm
preston. The story of the old man
who was criticised because he was max
ing such a drudgery of farming is
known by most people. On carrying
slops to the hogs, the protest was made
that "You waste too much time" And
he said What is time to a hog"
The farmer who once fed corn to his
hogs, and oats to his horses and bran
to his cows thought he was really
feeding live stock. In the light of
neutrality-suspicious. he was simply CROP
ing blindly. The modern farmer no
longer feeds corn, bran and oats, but
he feeds protein and carbohydrates in
the balanced rations demanded by the
cows, horses and hogs.
The farmer of yesterday knew little
OF the chemistry of animal life or of
the chemistry of the soils. He did not
know the prescription of how to cure
sick soil. In this respect am remind
ed OF an incident near the city in our
own county. The general impression
is that low swampy land is too rich and
that is why the oats on this soil lodges
Hat to the ground. Two farmers with
the same low swampy soil both sowed
oats on this ground. One manfred his
soil well, the other did not When
harvesting time came the farmer that
manured his soil had his grain stand
ing while the farmer on the other side
OF the fence who did not manure hal
his oats lodged fat to the ground. We
must know more about the chemistry
OF the soils In order to make modern
farmers. We must know what ele-
ments are lackidg in the soil. The
farmer OF yesterday knew nothing of
the science of plowing. He had not
heard OF the need of packing the soil
to secure capillarity nor of maintaining
dust blanket to trap the moisture
and stop its wasteful evaporation.
Many farmers even to-day think that
the only rerson there is for cultivating
corn is to kill the weeds. This is
partly the reason but it is not the only
reason. The difference between a
farmer who to-day farms as they did
twenty-five years ago, and one who
farms according to modern scientific
methods is Dollars and Cents.

INCOME TAX ASSESSORS NAMED.

Income tax assessors in twenty-nine
of the thirty-nine districts Of the state
were named Wednesday by the state
tax commission from the lists certified
by the civil service commission. The
districts in which assessors are not
named are:
2. Racine county.
3. Walworth county.
4. Rock county.
16. La Crosse county.
10. Winnebago county.
%. Buffalo, Pepin and Trempealeau
counties.
81. Marathon county.
81. Shawno and Langlade counties.
36. Sawyer and Rusk counties.
80. Douglas and Washburn counties.
In some of these districts there were
no candidates and while the law does
not require that the assessor named
shall be resident of the district 1t
provides that so far as practicable re-
ference shall be given to residents OF
the district In other districts where
appointments are not made there are
various considerations that have caus-
ed delay. In the districts where there
are no candidates supplementary ex-
aminations will be held.
The salaries of the assessors are to
be fixed by the state tax commission,
but in no case shall the salary together
with the expenses of the assessor and
the salaries and expenses Of the de-
puties or assistants exceed in amount
five cents for every thousand dollars of
all taxable property in the district as
fixed by the state tax commission.
The first income tax is to be levied
for the year of 1911 and will be assessed
and entered in the regular taxroll for
collection the same as other taxes in
January and February, 1918.
AS soon as practicable the state tax
commission will call conference of
the assessors to receive instructions
and discuss the law and methods of ad-
ministration.
Jos. Connell has been named as as
SCISSOR for this district which comprises
the counties of Manitowoc and Calumet,
F. Denison is named in Sheboygan
county; 81. A. Dvorak in Door and Ke-
waunee counties and in Brown and
Oconto, F. ]. Colignon.
Mr.. Connell has been supervisor of
assessments the past two years and has
discharged the duties of the office with
credit. He is man of integrity,
sound in understanding and in heart,
and his appointment will give general
satisfaction.
