HOLD ANNUAL PICNIC.
200 Children of st. Matthew's Sunday
School at Kreuger's Grove Today.

The members of the Sunday school
Of st. Matthew's church held their an
nual picnic at Kreuger's Grove today
and more than two hundred happy chill
dren and many of their fathers and
mothers took the special cars at Mar
ket Square this morning to go to the
pionlc ground. 1t was the largest
crowd ever sent out from kenosha for
Sunday school picnic and two of the
largest cars Of the interurban company
were not sufficient to hold the crowd
and many of the picnicers went out on
the regular cars. Special games and
amusements had been planned by the
committee in charge, but the feature
Of the day was the big picnic dinner at
noon. This afternoon there will be a
short program, after which there will
be athletic sports for both the BOYS
and girls. The members Of the merry
party will not return to Kenosha until
late this afternoon.

The old charm of state or govern

commissions experience in keeping a
sufficient number Of names on the
eligible lists for many places, but this
rule does not appear to hold true for
The rural mail carrier service. The rural
carriers have been considered to have
The hardest jobs in the postal service
but there must be some charm about
the places, for there has seldom been

The next and most important duties
Of the council will be to provide for
the opening and proper policing of the
municipal bathing beach In making
arrangements for the coming season
the principal thing to be borne in mind
is that the beach was established for
the use and benefit OF all the people
of the city and to provide place for
bathing that would be safe in every
way at all times. There was much
complaint at times last year of rowdy-
ism and improper conduct at the beach
and the city authorities should make it
plain right from the start this year
that nothing OF this kind will be toll
Grated and that the beach will be so
managed as to be safe at all times for
women and children; that the people
of the city may use the beach without
fear Of seeing or hearing anything in
the slightest degree Objectionable
There may be slight increase in the
expense Of running the beach the way
it should be run, but more pleasure will
be provided by the expenditure of the
small additional amount needed to CON
duct the beach properly than would be
received for the expenditure Of Gle
same amount in any other way.

The report of the annual audit of the
books Of the city should be published
so that all taxpayers of the city may
have a copy for study and future ref
erence. They are at least entitled to
the satisfaction of knowing where
their money went to, SO far as may be
shown by the figures presented in the
report. 1t is an interesting document
and close study of the facts presented
will give the taxpayers a pretty good
idea of the kind of a corporation they
have been stockholders in and what
kind of work has been done by their
board Of directors, the council.

WORKERS MUST GO TO SCHOOL
New Law Provides that All Under IS
Must Spend at Least Hours Weekly
in Vocational Schools to DE Opened
by the New Industrial Board.

Manufacturers in Kenosha are re-
ceiving a circular letter from the state
superintendent urging upon them the
necessity of the industrial education of
young men employed in the factories
and they are advised that as soon as
provision is made by the industrial
board of education for the education
OF these people that it will be neces
sary for all boys under the age of six
teen years to study at least five hours
weekly. The enforcement Of the law will
affect hundreds of young workmen in
Kenosha. AS yet the industrial board
of Education has not completed plans
for the new year, but it is certain that
the board will follow the provisions of
the state law and make some provision
for vocational schools. These may be
an extension of the manual training
work now offered in the schools of the
city, and it may be that one or more
trade. schools will be opened. Every
one of the larger cities of the state is
taking up this movement and it is
certain that Kenosha will not remain
in the back ground.
The superintendent states in his cir
cular letter that under no conditions
will employed children under 16 years
be allowed to attend the night schools,
and as the state law provides compul-
sorry education for all children under
l6 years, there will be no alternative
but to send the children during the day.
The five hours each week that the
children will be at the Industrial school
will be paid for at the regular wage by
the manufacturer. The Industrial board
considers that the increased efficiency
of the children from attending school,
will more than pay the manufacturer
for the five hours each week that the
employe is absent.
In part the superintendent Of
schools states in his circular letter:
"This letter is written so that you
may understand that with the opening
Of the school next fall the industrial
board will organize schools suited to
children under 16 years Of age, and
that said board will expect all children
under this age to regularly attend
school five hours out of each week such
hours to be determined by the indus
trial board, accommodating, of course,
so far as possible, the peculiar needs Of
the manufacturer.
cit has been our experience this
year that attendance by young chill
dren upon these evening schools is
unWise and we hasten to advise that it
will be impossible for us to admit to
any of the night schools any children
under l6 years of age. In your en-
ployment of boys and girls, whom you
expect to remain with you beyond the
vacation season, keep in mind please,
this day school feature. We hope you
will not be disappointed in the fall
when these additional requirements are
insisted upon.

It is easy enough to understand the
objections of property owners to the
presence of carnivals in the vicinity of
their homes. 1T is possible to get too
much of even a good thing and those,
who enjoy an occasional visit to the
shows cannot appreciate the feelings Of
the people who have to put up with the
noise and confusion hours every day.

here. They are more than as far again
from Tonopah. the county seat of Nye

would be merely a matter Of justice to
them to be annexed to White Pine.

up the eastern line of Nye County. and
would add materially to the territory Of
White Pine and Lincoln Counties. bnt

The Record feels sure that all the

the proposed change. As the lines are

Things vent swimmingly during the
past week when the word was passed
quietly around that a strike OF high-grade
had been made on the $50 OF lowest level
of the Mushett- Wittenberg lease on the
Manhattan Consolidated. And it proved
to be true in detail. A strike has been
made there that promises the biggest
things. 1t is a high-grade ore shoot that
assays without selection of ore, except to
throw out the lime that always gets
mixed in, $96 q ton, and this for some
five feet between the hanging and what
is believed but not proven to be the foot.
Another assay Tor a foot or two greater
width and not a particle Of the lime thrown
out went $17.
: What is more the ore is free milling and
pans high. 1t may carry some base but
does not appear to.
