4:3O O'CLOCK TUESDAY
NEW MARRIAGE TIME

The real thing in society weddings
in Washington henceforth will take
place on Tuesday at 4:3O p. m
simply because Miss Jessie Wilson
has chosen that day and hour on Nov
ember 25th, for her wedding to Fran
els b. Sayre.
Society has always followed the
day and time set in White house
nuptials since back in Cleveland s
day. Miss Roosevelt was welded at
noon on a Saturday-and ever since
that time high noon" on the sixth
day of the week has been the most
fashionable hour. But announcements
of approaching weddings of half a
dozen society girls there show that
they have adopted the 4 80 O'Clock
Tuesday fashion.

exceptionally remarkable numbers
though the addresses by DR.. Woods
Hutchinson, Bishop VIM. Quayle of
st. Paul, and by J Adams Puffer of
Boston, were very good. An address
on Henry George and his philosophy
by j. q. White of Chicago, who is
seeking the nomination for senator at
the Illinois Democratic primary, was
a very interesting and instructive
presentation of the principles of the
single tax idea.
The suggestion of the president of
the association, John Callahan, super
intendent of the Menasha schools, that
the convention be held only once in
two years, is very good and ought to
be adopted. AS there are at present
three sectional associations holding
meetings annually, the Southern, the
Northeastern, and the Northwestern =
in addition to the institutes held by
the county superintendent, teachers
can not afford to attend them all.
If the sectional meeting were held
one year and the state convention the
alternate year. all the meetings
would be more enthusiastic and more
largely attended. This question is
likely to come up for discussion at
the convention next November.
HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE CON-
STANTLY CHANGING.
DR.. E. G. Elliott of the depart
ment Of education of the state uni
versity has collected some very vaIu-
able statistics on the new teachers in
the Wisconsin high schools. These
facts as published in the Wisconsin
Journal of Education, show that last
year, 1912-1913, there were zoos teach
ers in the free and accredited high
schools of whom 768, or SO per cent
were inexperienced. Comparing this
with the per cent of new teachers in
the three preceding years, 80. 40, and
80 per cent, it is apparent that at
that rate, the teaching corps in the
high schools Of the state is complete
ly changed in less than three years.
If the teaching force is so changeable
in the high school where the work is
more desirable, and the pay far better
than in any of the other schools, the
per cent Of new teachers in the rural
schools each year must be very much
larger. Until the tenure Of Office is
made mors secure. and the pupils are
the benefit of experience,
will never be high as it
might be.
Of the 768 new teachers, mentioned
above, 189 came from the University,
go from the normal schools, 1913 from
the colleges in the state. 46 from
Stout Institute, aid 10 from schools
outside the state.

SCHOOL NEWS.

TIE COUNTY EDUCATION BOARD.
The most radical change in school
administration that has been effected
by the state legislature in many years
is the recent law for the election of
a county board of education Next
spring there is to be an election in
every county for these boards, con-
sisting of FIVE members who serve for
terms Of five years, and having juris-
diction over all the schools in the
county not under the supervision of
q city superintendent. This board
WIZ nave, practically, entire control
of the county superintendent after his
election by the people, as it may fix
his salary, the minimum of which
is to be $1,000. audit and allow his ex-
pensss and those of his assistants, APP
point his clerks and assistants and
define his powers and duties It has
the full power and authority also
to form, organize, alter, or con
soil date, school districts. 1t shall
determine annually the amount Of
money necessary to perform its work,
but must file with the county board
of supervisors, an itemized statement
of the receipts and disbursements of
all funds coming under its jurisdic-
ton.
Provision is made in the act for
an annual state aid of $500 for each
county board of education, if certain
requirements are complied with. The
same pay is allowed to each member
of the board that is allowed to the
supervisors. and six cents for each
mile travelled in going to and re-
turning from the place of meeting,
which is to be at the county seat
Pay can not be received for more than
fifteen days services in any one year.
Many of the smaller cities which,
like Lancaster, have a supervising
principal but not legally a city
up8rintendent, are wondering what
effects this board will have on their
own school management. Those who
are fearful Of too great interference,
are preparing to adopt the city super
intendency form. in order to be ex
cused from the operation of the law.
Once a city has elected a city super
intendent, it no longer shares in pay
ing the expenses of the county super
intendent nor can it's citizens ;-ote
for any candidate for that Office.
MEETING OF THE STATE TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION.
The annual meeting of the state
teachers association was held in Mil
waukee, from November 9th to 9Th.
AS all teachers are permitted by law
to attend this meeting without loss of
pay, most of the schools Ia the vicini-
ty of Milwaukee and many schools
within easy reach closed their schools
for the time and required all their
teachers to attend. Although about
six thousand enrolment tickets were
sold, it is not probable that this
number were in attendance at any
one time. There was some doubt
previous to the convention whether
the enrolment would be as large as
usual owing to the increase of the fee
for women. from fifty cents to one
dollar, the fee has always been one
dollar for the men which went into
effect this year The attendance show
ed that the woAen did not mind the
fifty cents.

An Exceptional Week With the Episco
palians.

1t is good many years since there
were such elaborate services at the
Episcopal church here, as took place
last week, The solemnities began on
Wednesday evening at 80. when the
Rt. Rev. William Walter Webb,
Bishop of the diocese of Milwaukee,
in which Lancaster is situated, con-
frmed a class of twelve, half of
whom were adults. The Bishop was
vested in his full canonical robes,
and when the service began, the
church was filed almost to its
capacity. At the end Of evensong,
and during the singing of hymn, the
ca ndidates marched two and two up
into the chancel, and the confirmation
service proper began The class was
presented to the Bishop, sitting in his
chair at the sanctuary rail, by the
Rev Wilfred A. Munday, the rector.
The candidates knelt before the
Bishop one by one to receive the lay
ing on of hands. and then, after a
few prayers, returned to their seats in
the body of the church.
For the sermon, the bishop took for
his text, Acts VIII II, FThen laid
they their hands upon them, and they
received the Holy Ghost In a splen-
did sermon, he showed that religion
is not matter Of the feelings or of
the intellect, but of the will, and
that the essence of religion is obedi-
ence. In a very able manner, he
made clear that it is in obedience to
Our Lords own command that the
church's Sacrament of Confirmation
is administered.
After the service, a reception was
rendered to the Bishop, the rector, and
the visiting clergy at the home of
Mrs. Trentzsch.
On Thursday morning, at 10
O'Clock, the very solemn rite of ordi-
nation to the priesthood was admins
tered by Bishop Webb to Mr.. Nun
day. The ordinand, the assisting
clergy, and the bishop proceeded into
the church. fully vested. The Rev.
W. E. Johnson. of Lacrosse, preach
ed the ordination sermon from the
text, Hebrews VIII:3, Every High
Priest is appointed to offer both gifts
and sacifces. !" Very eloquently he
expounded the teaching that the func-
tion of the priest is to offer gifts and
sacrifices to God on behalf of his
people, and to bring Gods gifts to
them.
The candidate was presented to the
bishop by the Ven. Walter u.
Blossom, Archdeacon of Madison,
we'll known to the people of Lancas-
ter for his faithful service here dur
ing the period when there was no
resident minister. Lack of space
prohibits description Of the solemn
and impressive ordination itself, but
none who witnessed it can have failed
to have appreciated its importance
and solemnity. After the ordination.
the bishop celebrated the Holy
Eucharist. The music throughout
the service was splendidly rendered
by the church choir. The whole
service was one not soon to be for.
gotten, either by those who participant
ed or those who witnessed it.
FIR. Munday celebrated the Holy
Eucharist for the first time on Friday
morning at 7:50. His father, who
was here from Walkerville, Ontario,
for the ordination, served him.
Other out-of-town guests who came
for the ordination were Miss Dorothy
Munday, the rector's sister, and Miss
Anna Heyrun, both of Detroit,
Michigan.

Uses Of tho Apple.
So well known are the uses Of the
apple that little need be said upon this
subject. No fruit known to the cult
vator In the north temperate zone can
take the place of the apple as food
product. Many other fruits-indeed,
most cultivated fruits-rank as luxu.
ries, but the apple In most parts of the
United States Is one of the leading sta
pie products OF the farm.
In its numerous varieties its season
Of maturity extends throughout the
year. No other fruit of the temperate
zone mas thus be had I'm continuous
succession without resorting to nrtifi'
cial means of preservation. II is pre-
eminently useful In the household econ
omy. As culinary fruit none excels
II. II graces the table in n greater va
riety OF forms than any other, and as
dessert fruit few are its equal and none
its superior Its Juice when extracted
makes an excellent and wholesome
beverage, and for vinegar II has no
rival. AS market fruit IL is one of
the easiest and least expensive TO han
die and usually finds a ready sale II
well grown aud handled with care.
Waste Products Used.
Among the many ways in which the
apple is now used the manufacture of
jellies and preserves is one OF growing
importance. The numerous factories
for the manufacture of these goods
which have sprung up all over the APP
pie growing region of the country have
created not only demand for second
and third grade apples, but also for the
waste products-cores and skins-re-
sulting from drying and evaporating
the fruit II has been found that jel-
lies made from this apple waste are al
most as good as those manufactured
from whole fruit. These waste prod
ucts have value not only for the uses
above mentioned. but there Is grow
ing demand for them for export pur-
poses for the manufacture OF cheap
wines and cider.
Chops. for which there is also ready
sale for export purposes. are made from
