WORK BRINGS new PROBLEMS
High School Teachers Declare Work in
Grammar Grades is Being Better Done
and Children Are Better Prepared for
High School Work.

The general teachers meeting 'of
the city schools for the month of May
was held Monday afternoon. When
the superintendent announced that the
June meeting four weeks from now
would be the last meeting of the year,
the first thought was "Vacation so
near" Then came a thought less
thrilling GLOW Can Get it All
Done?'
The meeting was an unusual one in
the character of the program followed.
AS had been announced at the April
meeting routine business was cut out
and in place of the usual discussions,
this plan was substituted: AS each
teacher S name was called from the
roll, he or she arose and gave minute
speech upon that part of her teaching
experience during the past year which
had been to this teacher a source of
satisfaction.
One of the most significant things
that was said was the statement by
one of the principals, that the year
had shown better adaptation all
along the line, of the instruction Civ
en- to the real, the Immediate, needs
of the lives of the children. Many
testimonials were given to the effec-
tiveness of the course in practical by
giene and sanitation. Better hygiene
is lived, not merely recited. A child
receives a good standing because she
sleeps with open windows and is clean,
not because she can merely recite from
memory facts about her body.
A number testified to the effect up.
on moral conduct of the course in
ethics; Of the fact evident to any one
who visits our schools today that
children are getting the idea through
the work of the music supervisor, that
singing is something else besides MAX
ing 2 noise; that the good course in
handwork is already giving evidence
of its effectiveness in the greater
skill of those who come up from low
er grades; that the reading is i'm
proving; children are getting started
in reading more quickly on account of
the phonic work, which places in their
hands at the start a powerful iustru.
ment of self-help.
The high school teachers made the
grammar grade teachers happy by tes-
tifying to the strength Of the classes
sent up to them. The grade teachers
were Interested to learn what the high
school teachers had done. The kinder
gartners testified to the benefits COM
ing from personal visitation of the
home, and from their efforts to teach
children to occupy and amuse them
selves.
Ninety teachers spoke and the meet
ing closed at 6 0 clock. 1t was long
meeting, but it did not seem so. AS
q general thing the Kenosha teachers
talk Well on their feet. Several of the
speeches were bright and witty; most
were clear, direct, pointed all were
interesting, for everybody had some
thing of value to say.

CHANCE FOR NEW PLANT.
Elgin Concern Now Looking for Loca-
ton Might be Brought to Kenosha.


ton Might be Brought to Kenosha.
There is an opportunity for Keno
sha to secure the large plant of the
National Electric Manufacturing Com
pany, which is now located at Elgin if
she can offer inducements as good as
those which have already been offered
by other communities which want the
industry. The matter is to be taken
up and decided within few days.
Snappy work will be necessary on the
part of the industrial association. The
concern wants a location near Chi
.cago. The following dispatch from
Elgir tells the story:
1'The National Electric Manufacture
ing Company of Elgin will move away
from here within the next few weeks.
1t will either sell its patents, goodwill
and business to the newly formed Gen
eral Railway Equipment Company Or
will remove to another location.
1.-THE company has been asked to
locate in a city, the name Of which is
not divulged, short distance outside
Of Chicago. Those Seeking to secure
this industry offer it four acres of
ground on railroad, foundry and
well equipped machine shop. This Of
fer is now being considered as we'll as
the one from the General Railway
Equipment Company.
Lee W. Duer, the secretary of the
company, stated today that either one
or the other of these offers would be
accepted within the next few days,
and that either would involve the re-
moval Of their plant from Elgin. The
stockholders Of the company have not
yet decided just which offer to accept.
At the present time the company is
having all it's work done by the Sand
witch Electric Company

TOO FRIGHTENED TO CRY OUT
Girl Reports Burglary to Other People
in House Just After Daybreak, but
no Clew to Identity Of Mysterious
Burglar Is Found by Police

The police of the city have another
mysterious burglary under investiga-
ton. just after one o'clock this
morning a burglar invaded the room
of Miss Arletta Maurice at house
at 423 Newell street and managed to
make good his escape. He took from
the room pocket book which contain
ed $50 in currency and although he
was in the room for some time moth
ing else was missing. Miss Maurice
was awakened by the man while he
was searching about the dresser in the
room. He was a man of medium
height and had carefully concealed his
features by placing a handkerchief
over his face Miss Maurice seeing
the man in the room was greatly
frightened but she made no cutlery and
for a minute or two watched the man
as he searched the room for valuab les.
The man did not speak and seemed
not to have been aware of the fact
that he had awakened the young
woman. After he had carefully re-
moved the money from the pocket
book Miss Maurice saw him leave the
room. He closed the door carefully
behind him. The young woman was
or fr;rb+anad +ba+ che fooro5 ~ Ioox,o
the room and it was not until day
break that she aroused the other peo-
pie in the house and informed them
of her visit from the burglar. As~soon
as possible the police were notified,
but they have not been able to get
any clew to the identity Of the mys-
sterious man Miss Maurice was in a
long conference with the chief of the
department this morning, but she de-
clared that she had never seen the
man before and that she could give no
clew to his identity. He did not Of
fer her personal violence and did not
make any display Of a revolver.
An investigation at the house failed
to reveal any way that the man made
his entrance to the building. Every
one of the doors and windows was
locked just as they had been when the
members of the family and Miss Maui
rice retired on Monday evening.
There was no indication that any of
the windows had been tempered with
and no other room in the house gave
any indication that it had been visit
ed by the mysterious burglar. The
members Of the family heard no noises
during the night and the first intima-
ton they had Of the burglary was
when they were summoned by Miss
Maurice just after daybreak this
morning.
The police officer on the beat de-
clares that he saw no one during the
night in the neighborhood of the house
and the whole case presents deep
mystery. Nothing was taken from the
room Of the young woman save the
money. This represented her savings
Of many months.
In speaking of the case this morn
ing Chief O'Hare said: "The case is
one of the most unusual that we have
ever had in the department. There is
no doubt from the story of Miss
Maurice, but that she saw the man in
the room and that he managed to get
away with her money. The fact that
there is nothing to show the way the
man got into the house puts new
angle to the story that is hard for
us to solve.

SEEK SOLDIERS HERE
State Seeks to Secure a List
of All in Great Battle
at Gettysburg.
MAY ATTEND BIG REUNION

Charles E. Likes, commander of the
Fred S. Lowell Post of the Grand
Army of the Republic, following the
suggestion of G.. r. Boardman, the adj
jutant general of Wisconsin, is max
ing IN effort to secure the names of all
soldiers, both Union and Confederate,
in this section Of the state who took
part in the battle of Gettysburg 1t
lis thought that at least score of
soldiers now living in Kenosha city
and county took part in the great bat
tie either as members of Wisconsin
regiments or regiments who went out
from other states. 1t is an interest
ing fact that every state east of the
Mississippi river with the exception
of Kentucky had men on either the
Union or Confederate side in the bat
tie and the troops from Minnesota al
so took part in the historic event. In
explanation Of the collection of the
names OF The Gettysburg survivors the
letter to Mr.. Likes is printed as
follows:
Commander, G.. A. Il. Post:
Sir:-The last legislature by Joint
resolution directed the adjutant gen
eral of the state to ascertain, as near
as practicable, the number, names and
addresses Of all old soldiers, resident
within the state, who participated in
the battle of Gettysburg on either
side. This information is desired
preparatory to possible action by the
next legislature looking to the parti-
cipation of these men in the 50th an
niversary Of the battle of Gettysburg
at Gettysburg, Pa, July l, 2, 3 and
4th, 1913.
Will you be kind enough to ascer-
tain for me the names, organizations
and addresses of any survivors resi-
dent in your locality or known by you
to be living in the state and mail the
list to me in the enclosed stamped
envelope.
This work is in behalf of the old
soldiers who am sure will be thank
full to You for anything done in their
behalf, while | also assure you that
your assistance will be greatly appre-
ciated by myself.
Very respectfully,
c. R. Boardman,
The Adjutant General, Madison, wis.
