Teachers Hold Meeting In Madison.

The teachers of Wisconsins con
tinuation schools, $50 strong held
their first institute and confer.
ence at the university. State SUI
perintendent C.. P. Cary, President l..
D. Harvey of Stout institute and
Deans F. e. Turneaure and Louis E.
Reber of the university, presided at
the opening session. Warren E. Hicks,
assistant state superintendent for in
dustrial education, who has charge of
the continuation schools, opened the
days program, speaking on the "Su-
pervision Of Continuation Schools"
"The organization of continuation
schools in the state has progressed
rapidly during the past year, said
Mr.. Hicks. "Twenty-seven were
maintained for the year closing June
80, 1913. These schools have been
appropriated state aid. The state has
increased the annual appropriation
for next year from $4,000 to $4,000.
The number Of schools that the state
may aid has been increased from
80 to As. 1t is evident at this date
that the number maintained during
the coming year will be increased
from q to As.
''The question Of the administration
of these schools has been well settled.
The apprentice under contract is in
eligible for the school of apprentices.
The child holding valid labor per-
nit is eligible for the permit school.
The temporarily unemployed and ex-
ceptional pupils are eligible for the
all-day Industrial or commercial
school Persons over sixteen years
of age are eligible for all evening
classes.
Essential and interesting are facts
concerning the organization and ad-
ministration of these schools. How
ever they are preliminary to the work
of instruction and supervision. We
have advanced to point where what
is done for each individual attending
is Of vital Importance. What teachers
are doing and how they do it, is the
supreme motive of our coming to-
gether An exchange of opinions,
actual experience and proposed plans,
it is hoped, will result in some com
mon understanding that will help in
our varied opportunities for service !"

Wife's Testimony Vital.

Mrs. Suffers testimony has been
considered too vital to the case of
the defense to permit her to remain
silent.
The governor has r'~'le the most
extensive preparations tor the pre-
sentation of his testimony. 1t will
AXE the form of narrative from the
time. soon after his election when,
he AYERS, Tammany Hall and others
began to bring pressure upon him to
do their bidding.
He hopes to show, it is understood,
that gradually he incurred the en-
nifty of many of the men back OF the
present proceedings and the final
break came only when he proved a
hopeless tool. From that point he
will narrate incidents that he believes
will show the gradual Capitalization
Of the Impeachment proceedings, it
is said:
Tt is recalled that at the time of
the governors so-called break with
Murphy last June The governor pub
licly charged that the Tammany lead
er was Behind conspiracy to black
en- my character because / refused to
do his bidding"
A growing spirit of confidence is
manifest among the Sulzer adherents.
The fact that the board of managers
is attempting to pass additional arti-
cles of impeachment is asserted by
the governors friends to be an adj
mission that they fear they have not
established a case. The board of
managers laugh at this assertion, say
ing they feel it is only just that all
the evidence they have against the
governor should be produced.

Murphy May Testify, Also.

It is also announced as the opinion
% Governor Suffers close friends
that Charles f. Murphy, the Tam
many Hall leader, whom SulZer ac-
cuses of having instigated his i'm
parchment, will be forced to take the
witness stand practically in his own
defense before the impeachment trial
is over.
They say the governor will take
the stand and that his story will COM
pei the attorneys for the impeachment
managers to call the Tammany lead
er.
Many friends of the governor have
insisted that he ignore the proceed
ings entirely in so far as being pres
ent himself is concerned. Others
have insisted that even if the COVER
nor decided to testify he should not
permit Mrs. Sulzer to tell her story.
But the governor has maintained from
the start that he will tell the story
of the alleged conspiracy which he
insists brought about his impeach
ment.

Law VIII Be in Operation October I.


The Wisconsin law regulating the
sale Of securities, popularity known as
tho blue sky law" becomes effective
October J. The railroad commission Of
Wisconsin is the body charged with
the administration OF the law, and is
now preparing blanks to be used in
complying with it.
The law is in two more or less dis
tinct parts, one affecting dealers in
corporate securities and the other af-
fecting companies which sell their
own securities In ths case of dealers,
a license from the railroad commits
sion is required, while in the case of
companies the requirement is that
certain information regarding the af-
fairs of the company be submitted to
the commission, and any company
which cannot satisfy the commission
that it is safe and sound and that it's
business is lawful and conducted in d
lawful manner is to be excluded from
doing business in the state.
Applicants for dealers licenses will
be required to show what securities
they propose to deal in and to file
lists OF the agents who are to repre-
sent them in Wisconsin. These lists
of securities and of agents are to be
kept up to date, and in addition per-
iodical reports will undoubtedly be
required of dealers showing what Sc
curities they have sold in Wisconsin.
1t will not be necessary for agents act
ing only on behalf Of licensed dealers
10 obtain licenses themselves, since
the law as recently interpreted by the
attorney general contemplates the Ii
censing only OF the principal and not
Of the agent.
IT is not the intent of the law that
the private affairs of the dealer should
be Inquired into except as such In
quiry may be necessary in isolated
cases where the integrity OF the deal
er is doubtful, nor will it be neces-
sary in the case of securities of good
standing for the commission to make
an extended investigation before per-
uniting the dealer to dispose of them
IL the state.
their own securities, however, the law
intends q much more searching inves-
tigtaion, and gives the commission
board powers OF examination. 1t will
be necessary to obtain from such COM
panies statements of their assets and
liabilities with sufficient description
Of them so that fictitious values can
be detected. 1t will also be neces-
sary in case of companies already in
operation to find out the financial re-
suits Of their operations in the past.
Their plan of selling securities, to-
gether with commissions to be paid,
prices to be obtained for the securi-
ties, etc. as well as their general plan
of doing business, will be the subject
of inquiry. This portion of the law,
however, applies only to companies
which are to use the proceeds of the
sale OF Che securities to the extent of
$4,000 or more In the payment of pro-
motion fees, organization expenses,
commissions and similar items.

The heroic work OF the Kroon-

something that time can never erase
