SPECIAL SUBJECTS IN WISCONSIN

SPECIAL SUBJECTS IN WISCONSIN
HIGH SCHOOLS.
In addition to the annual distribu-
tion of school money among all the
high schools of the state special aid
is given to those schools which main
tain courses in domestic science,
manual training, agriculture, or COM
mercial work. Where this work is
offered in the grades and high school
both, the state will pay half of the
cost of instruction, but not to exceed
$3.50 That the policy of the state
in encouraging courses in these special
subject, is producing results is report
ed in a recent EDUCATIONAL bulletin by
the state superintendent Of education.
He says: Among the special courses
for which state aid is granted,
domestic science is far in the lead
as to the number of Wisconsin high
schools which have introduced it.
One hundred six high schools are now
conducting this course, as against 50
in the case Of manual training, com
mercial course 81, agricultural
course, SO. Considering that practi-
cally all who take the domestic
science course will find practical use
for it, this special favor which it
seems to enjoy is cause for conqratula-
tion - There are over fifty schools in
the state which are Offering three of
these special courses. As the special
aid for commercil subjects was ap-
propriated only at the last session of
the legislature, this will be the frat
year that high schools can profit by it,

The Dollar Marks Origin

Many people like to think that
the American dollar-mark is {
corruption of the symbol ~. S. >
Others have held to the old his.
torian's idea that it is a replics
of the pillars of Hercules. Prof
Forian Cajorio of Colorado, has
knocked all these pleasing fancies
in the head by proving, with an.
cient manuscripts, that the dol.
lar mark is really a corruption
of the old Spanish abbreviation
for peso dollar.
Prof. Cajori looked over thous-
ands of manuscripts to get at
his facts. He started with the
idea that the dollar mark was an
abbreviation of the word dol
lar" but, as he says, I'VE had
to throw our idea overheard rs q
useless burden"
Then he got the clue. When
our Spanish colonist first wrote
the word pesos" one of which
is about a dollar, they spelled it
out in full. Then it got down to
"ps." When il was written
hurriedly, the 'p" and the IS"
were superimposed, as he shows
from ancient writings, and grad
ually the dollar mark came into
use the "p" was written over
the s."
Says Prof. Cajori: "It has been
established that the dollar mark
is the lineal decendent Of the
Spanish abbreviation "p" for
pesos, that the change from
the norescent "ps" to S was
made about ITS by English
Americans who came IN business
relations with the Spanish-Amer-
leans and that the earliest print
ed dollar mark dates back to the
year 1897"

Bill Makes il Easy to
Get Two Homesteads

Relief to Western homestead
entrymen from the hardship i'm
posed by the so-called John Day
decision" of the Secretary of
the Interior is promised by the
recent action of the lower house
in congress in passing the Taylor
bill. This measure is an amend
ment to the enlarged homestead
act, and provides that residence
and cultivation of the original
entry may be credited on the adj
ditional entry, the effect being to
allow the entryman to make final
proof ON both at the same time,
Representative Mondell, author
of the enlarged homestead law,
fully intended that the original
act should SO declare, and still
contends that it does by any reas-
enable construction Of its lang
uage. Asst. Secretary Adams,
however, declined to take this
view of the Mondell act, and the
result was that settlers who at
tempted to make proof ON both
entries were put to the addition
al expense of Il second proof on
their second entries, and in some
cases compelled to wait two years
or more before such proof could
be offered. The first case ap-
pealed was that of John Day,
and since this decision Western
members have been flooded with
demands for relief. The action
of the house indicates the early
enactment of the necessary rem
edial legislation.

Many Inquiries About
Oregon Are Answered

Intense interest was manifest
ed in the Oregon state exhibits
at the Minneapolis and Chicago
Land Shows, according to the
report of o. f. Freytag of Ore
gon City, director in charge, and
many inquirers were formed Of
points of interest to them by
those in charge of the exhibit.
The times-herald. [volume] (Burns, Harney County, Or.) 1896-1929, 1913-02-01

Mr.. Freytag says in his report tc
the Portland Commercial Club
that Louis W. Hill, director of
the Great Northern railroad, and
James Hannaford, vice president
of the Northern Pacific, pro-
nounced the Oregon exhibit to be
the best and most comprehensive
of the Minneapolis show.
Thousands of these persons re.
gistered at the shows that might
learn more of Oregon through
having literature sent them, with
the view of coming to Oregon in
the near future. The Oregon
exhibit at both shows was in
tensely practical, and for that
reason proved of great value to
the prospective settler.

Increased Interest In The
Children's Industrial Con-
test Work Manifest

Among the many educational
matters discussed by the county
superintendent during their re-
cent session at Salem in the ca
pacity of State Board of Examin-
ers, none was entered into with
more interest than the school
children's industrial contes t
work. With one or two excep-
tions each superintendent had in
troduced the work in his county,
and was gratifed with the re-
suits. In almost every county
where school fairs where held last
year for the first time, the ex-
hibits were beyond the expecta-
ton of those in charge. The dis
cusslon was not as to whether
the movement is Il good one, and
one to be continued. All were
agreed and enthuiastic on that
point. 1t was simply a matter
Of discussing method how to
conduct the work to get the best
results. There was unanimous
sentiment in favoring a later
date for the State Fair this year
in order to make it possible to
hold the local contests first. and
then send the best of the exhibits
to Salem. Some expressed their
intention of sending their whole
juvenile county exhibit to the
State Fair, and unless there is a
mighty sidetracking of enthus-
iasm, the Fair Board will need to
build roof over one corner Of
the State Fair grounds to take
care of the children's depart
ment.

in their industrial work this year

BETTING ON GOLF GAMES
CAUSE OF COMPLAINT
Play at Crack Clubs Around London
Is to Large Extent for
Stake.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.


LONDON. June IA, 1913.
There is good deal Of complaint
among quiet golfers about the state of af-
fairs of the crack clubs around London.
Their complaint is that golfng is becom-
ing like prizefighting, and no one seems
willing to play except for a stake. 1t is
said that at one fashionable club near
town it Is not very unusual thing to see
matches played for a stake Of E1O. or
even EGO. and games for a five
pound stake are very common. In
this atmosphere golf is rapidly
loving it's good fellowship and good
manners, as bad losers become worse and
even good losers find it harder to main
tain their equanimity when styn1ie may
cost them f1O. This golf gambling has
spread to woman and even girl members
to an extent that threatens scandal in
one we'll known club.
Another evil that has crept in with the
worship of the crack professional is that
to have a round with a professional on
a smart course nowadays usually costs
you a stake of f5. OF course. the theory
is that the ground professional will give
you a round for five shillings or half a
crown. but it would be q bold man in
deed who would suggest the idea without
also being willing to put "a bit on the
game" and the bit is not unusually a
pound note. The professional may
give you more than your proper allow
ance, but, somehow or other, the likeliest
amateur gets worn down in the end and
loses his stake. The semi-amateur, too,
is becoming as strongly established at
golf as he is at cricket. his living COM
ing chiefly from high stakes and side
bets. Altogether, golf in the crack Sur
rey clubs is in danger of becoming
tainted sport.
