fellow teachers ever recognized him as
an educational leader by honoring him
with any high Office, nor do the pro-
grams of that body give any promi-

The urgent educational problem of
the day is how to make the country
school more efficient. Mr.. K;ttle s
connection with this phase of edica-
ton seems entirely wanting. Since
coming to Wisconsin in 1894, it is not
discoveraible thai he ever did day S
institute work, nor has he been af-
forded any opportunity to come IA
touch with the rural school problem.
1t is noticeable that in his published

Kenosha county is to have its two
farmers institutes next week, one in
Pleasant Prairie and the other in Som
ers and it is to be hoped that both
of them will show a record breaking
attendance. Farming is rapidly being
reduced to a science and if the farmers
Of this county are to keep abreast Of
the times they will have TO take full
advantage Of the opportunities for IN
struction in special lines offered by
the state through these Institutes.
There is no farmer in the county that

Mayor Head is Generous.
Mayor Head disposed of the salary
that he will receive during his two
years term as head executive of the
city by presenting to the council
site for a new engine house. The lot
36xl20 is located on Vest Grand
avenue near Charles street. The mayor
declared that it was given without any
string and that the city could have
deed to it at once with the under
standing that it was to be used as
site for an engine house when the
council recognized the necessity of
such an addition to the fire protection
of the city Members of the council
by rising vote thanked the mayor
for his gift to the city. There is con-
siderable agitation of plan for TIE
hiding of an engine house in that
section of the city at the present time,
but it is thought that majority of
| the members of the council would OPP
pose the plan on the grounds that the
new station is not required at this
time for the proper projection of the
property of the city.
The council by unanimous vote re-
quested the legislature to pass a bill
which will give the city the right 30
assess special taxes for lighting pur
pose. The council sent a protest to
Madison against the passage of me
bill to give the fire and police commits
sion the right to fix The salaries of
fire and police officials.
Many protests on taxes were receiv-
ed and they were referred to the COM
mittee on taxes with the understand
ing that under the law the council
could not grant rebates to any tax
payer.
The building committee ordered to
make an investigation of the Central
school building was granted further
time as it was stated that the COM
mittee had planned to investigate the
building in company with architects
