FIGURES THAT DON'T
ENTHUSE BADGERITES

An inquirer asks the Wisconsin Ad-
vancement Association about Adams
county, Mississippi, saying that he
had seen boost for that county in
a Wisconsin paper as the result of
doctor having invested there.
An examination of the 1910 census
discloses the following facts:
Population decreased Is per cent
between 1900 and 1910.
Improved land decreased 1,13O
acres.
Number of farms decreased "A per
cent.
OF 1874 farms, 1,646 were oper-
ate by others than owners.
Corn yielded 1873 bushels per acre
Oats yielded 14.7 bushels per acre
Dry peas yielded 81 bushels pei
acre.
Potatoes yielded 80 bushels pei
acre.
Cotton yielded less than one-tentt
bale per acre.
Value of all crops sold per farm
1866.
Expense, labor, fertilizer and feed
per farm, Sill.
This is another evidence that "dis
tance lends enchantment to thu
view" The figures will not be yer!
enticing to Wisconsin farmers.

it's third straight victory Sunday af-
ternoon on the local diamond by de-
feating Kennan IL to 3.

The local team is playing in bet
ter form each game and Manager

ting together as good an organiza-
ton. The attendance, too, is increas-
ing steadily, but there are still too
many who like to see the game, but
are not inclined to pay for it. 1t is
expected that the fair grounds will
be in shape, so that future games
can be played there.
The team lined up as follows:
Kennan-Edinger, c; Anderson, 3b;
Freeman, IF; Jones, IS; 0. Keller,

Thinks Wisconsin o. K.

J. j. Schneiders, who returned last
week from a trip to Virginia, still
thinks Wisconsin cannot be beat.
Speaking to the News-Budget scribe,
he said that Virginia was nice coun-
try, but a man had to work just as
hard for living there as in Wiscon-
sin. Mr.. Schneiders thinks Wisconsin
just as good or a little better than
any other state in the union for a
man to make a living and earn
home for himself and family. To use
his own words, Don't look for any
thing better in any state, for Wis
consin is good enough for any man."

afternoon, just before the game start

batting up "flies." The bat slipped
from the batter's hands and the lad

the blow, knocking him down. He
was able to get up quickly, though
dazed, and was taken to DR.. O'Con-
nor's office, where several stitches
were required to close the cash cut

BELIEVES PRESENT SYSTEM is
THE BEST
Communicated

When a change so important as
one involving the welfare Of our
schools is considered, the people
should know the facts, or some of
them concerning the question to be
voted upon. Monday, June 80, a spec
ial election is called, at which time
then men and women of our city
are asked to decide whether we shall
return to the district system of school
control Or not
BY district system is meant the
system that prevails in the rural dis
tricts, and small towns of our state
Under it
(a) The schools are supervised by
the County Supt. of schools.
CD The board of three members
clerk director and treasurer-is elect
ed at an annual school meeting for
a term of three years each
(c) The tax levy for school mon
eys is made separately from the city
VIA DuQSCt anu III lCCJ 0CnOOI Duol-
ness is practically divorced from city
business This arrangement enables
the city to borrow more money and
the school district may also borrow
money. This is the main argument
for the change in system. 1t neceS-
Sarily follows that taxes will be IA
creased and the problem is will not
two or three years of careful man
agement on the part Of our council
bring us out of our financial diff
culties without risking the welfare
Of our schools?
Under the present system our
board is appointed by the city com
mission and consists of six members,
one from each ward and three at
large One member of the city com
mission makes seventh member
The city clerk is the school clerk;
the city treasurer the school treas
urer
The school budget is a part Of the
city budget, though kept in a sep
arate fund
The High School principal is also
city superintendent, the county SUI
perintendent having nothing to do
with the supervision of our schools.
This is an advantage to him and to
the county schools as well as to us
We have no part in the election Of
county sup uperintendent.
According to the State Department
of Education the following cities are
the only ones in the state that now
have the district system: Darlington,
Platteville, Stoughton, Richland Cen
ter. Shullsberg, Evansville and Ed
gerton No city in the state is on
record as having gone back to the
district system after having adopted
the other system of control.
In the first place, there is no room
large enough in a growing town to
accommodate an annual meeting rep
resenting even a majority of the vo-
ters.
The result is too often business is
transacted by a faction, by a small
part of the taxpayers. The people as
a whole are Indifferent
Experience seems to show that bet
ter men are appointed than are elect
ed and the citys interests more eff
ciently looked after
The centralizing of school super
vision and the combination of the
boards financial business with that
of the city would seem to give
better business management through
out both from the standpoint of the
school and of the city taxpayer.
