FORMING OTHER SCHOOLS
Evening Schools Opened to Take Care
of Many Adult Pupils Among Factory
Men and it is Probable That These
VIII Have Large Enrolment

There are four forms Of schools pro-
yided for by the industrial educational
laws of 1911. One of these, the permit
school, has been for a month in success
full operation in Kenosha. From seven
a. m. to twelve, every day of the week,
a class Of boys from one or another
shop, goes to the Frank school, where
MIR. Tarbell instructs them in the
branches prescribed by the law. From
one p. m. until six, Miss Hahn per
forms a like service for the successive
classes of girls. There are now
225 fourteen and fifteen year old boys
and girls enrolled in these classes.
Another form of school is the all-day
industrial school. This is for fourteen
and fifteen year old boys and girls, who
have left the regular school to engage
in work, but have for some reason
stopped work. Since it would be diff
ficult and discouraging for them to at
tempt work in the regular school, this
all-day school furnishes them with a
place for study until another job is
found. This all-day school will be to
a certain extent an employment bureau,
to which those desiring the help of
children may apply. 1t will also be
one purpose of the teachers in this
school to assist children to find suitable
employment. The law makes it in
cumbent upon the school to provide 80
hours a week of schooling for these
children, while unemployed. This
schooling will include sewing and cook
ing for girls and manual training for
boys. There is no expense to the child
rem attending this school, except for
material used.
a third form of school under this law
S the evening school. Seventy
have enrolled for this, which will open
tonight at the high school. Wherever
ten or more have expressed desire for
a branch, teacher has been provided
and instruction will be regularly given.
Glasses will be started in English under
Miss Anna Miller of the high school,
bookkeeping and business practice I'M
der Mr.. Langmas of the commercial
department. of the high school, mechan-
zeal drawing under Mr. Tarbell of the
continuation schools, and cooking and
sewing under Miss Beck, teacher of
household Irts in high school.
The new and well equipped chemical
laboratory in the high school makes it
possible for those wanting that funda-
mental science to have instruction pro-
vided if there are at least ten who
apply.
A class Of basketry and weaving will
be conducted by Miss Hood and any
women desiring this work are invited
to register this evening.
There have been several applications
for mathematics and for stenography
and typewriting. If there are enough
who desire this work classes will be
formed
Whatever classes are formed will be
wei conducted and everything posi-
BILE will be done to make the work
profitable.

MANY Receive AID
Pauper Committee Report
Shows 127 People ON List
of City's Dependents
TO MAKE help THEMSELVES

The quarterly report of the pauper
committee of the common council
which has been fled with the city Of
ficials shows that at the present time
there are 80 families with a total Of
1877 people receiving aid from the city,
Of course the great majority of these
people are receiving only small part
of their living expenses. Fourteen OF
the women receiving aid for their
families are widows and seven families
have been left dependent on the city
by the husbands and fathers desert
ing them. There are sixteen children
in the families receiving aid over
fourteen years of age. In FIVE of the
cases aid is being furnished by the city
on account of the fact that the bread
earners of the family are disabled.
Every ward in the city with the excep-
ton of the second ward has some peo-
pie receiving aid from the city. The
smallest number is in the seventh ward
where but two families receive aid.
The third ward with ten families ON
the pauper list has the largest repre-
sentation on the report of the commit
tee. There are now thirteen patients
at the Kenosha City Poor Farm, the
winter months having brought a de-
cided increase in the number of in
mates. The scarlet fever epidemic has
caused large increase for the city
in the cost of maintaining the depart
ment as many families who have been
placed under quarantine have demand
ed aid from the city. At the present
time the number receiving aid is larg-
er than in the summer months, but AL
derman Saftig, who is at the head of
the committee, is hopeful of making
several of the families self sustaining
within a short time.

HOWE PICTURES WONDERFUL.
Lyman III. Howe Wins New Laurels by
New Picture Program at the Rhode.

Lyman H. Howe Wins New Laurels by
New Picture Program at the Rhode.
There is something fascinating about
the Howe moving pictures that makes
them one of the big drawing cards of
the theatrical calendar. Lyman Fl.
Howe always goes just little farther
than any other man who takes moving
pictures and there is q life to these
pictures which is lacking i others.
The Howe pictures have the stamp of
the authentic on every line on the
canvas and they are made with care
for details that makes them simply
wonderful. The first of the new Howe
program was shown at the Rhode
Opera House on Monday evening to a
crowd which taxed the capacity of the
house and the program was repeated
at a matinee this afternoon and will
be repeated this evening. There is al
ways big feature to the Howe pro-
gram and this year the feature is a
splendid picture of the last trip Of the
battleship Maine. This picture is rich
in detail and shows everything Of in
terest in connection with the historic
burial of the battleship. Another big
feature is the animal pictures and they
are just as perfect as Howe could make
them and this means perfection. The
program has one great thrill in race
between hydroplane and a motor
boat. There are some thirty pictures
all Of which are new with the excep-
ton of 'The Birth Of the Flowers
charming nature study which was
presented on the Kenosha program last
year and which is repeated by request.

NEWELL INTERESTS ARE SOLD
Big Deal Concluded Monday and Pur-
chase Price Said to Have Been in the
Neighborhood of 100000 - No
Change in Policy of the Company.

The control of the Chicago -Kenosha
Hosiery Company, the largest company
of the kind in the world which for the
past twenty years has been held by
the Hoyt and Newell families in Ke-
nosha, passed into the control of
Charles Chester and Robert Allen on
Monday afternoon when deal which
had been under consideration for sew
eral months was closed up. The Allen
brothers purchased all the stock held
by the Newell estate, the estate of the
late Frank Slosson and Col. and Mrs.
j. j. Hoyt. A small portion of the
stock was purchased by Roger N. Kim
ball, who was interested with Chester
and Robert Allen in the big deal.
While the consideration has not been
made public it is said that the pur-
chase price was in the neighborhood
of 100000. The stock transferred in
cluded 1000 shares of stock held by
the estate Of the late Frances Newell,
LOO shares of stock owned by Col.
and Mrs. J. J. Hoyt, and 500 shares
of stock owned by the estate Of Frank
Slosson. The total stock of the COM
pany is 5000 shares valued at par at
100000 and it will be seen at the
purchase price the value placed on the
stock is in the neighborhood of $3.50 W
a share. The closing of the deal will
mean the retirement of the Newell and
Hoyt families from the industrial life
of Kenosha as the hosiery stock was
the last of their great industrial hold
ings in the city. The retiring holders
of the stock became interested in the
hosiery plant when it came to Kenosha
more than twenty years ago and they
had furnished much Of the capital for
the upbuilding of the big plant.
G. G. Allen when seen this morning
said: "The deal was just closed or
Monday afternoon and | can say moth

plant. We have taken over the con-

view of col tinuing the present policy

in the Office force of the company at
the present time and we fully appre-
ciaSs the fact that the company has
one of the best business organizations
to be found in the country. We shall
furnish a progressive management for
the company and we feel certain that
the city of Kenosha will in no way
suffer from the new ownership. The

company will be made until that time.
The big problems of the company will

time and at the annual meeting any

be announced"
1t is understood that both Chester
and Robert Allen viii give their per-
sonal management to the affairs of the
big company and that M. Kimball will
in the near future sever his relations

Company AMI become active in the
management of the hosiery plant.

company are S. B. Wilkins, Rockford,
H., S. G. Newman, G. H. Curtis, Henry
