A LAW BY APPROVAL OF
EXECUTIVE.
"BLUE SKY" BILL ALSO WINS
Manning Bond Act Receives Veto -
Governor Has Placed Stamp of Disap-
prevail on Twenty-Five Bills During
Session.

Madison. Gov. McGoyern has
signed the water powers bill and the
blue sky enactment. This clears
the executive desk of all but one as
sembly bill, the normal school and uni
versity appropriation measure and five
unimportant senate bills, two Of which
it was found necessary to reprint be-
cause of errors.
Gov. McGovern today vetoed the
Manning bill authorizing the city of
Milwaukee to issue fifty-year bonds
for the purchase of land for any pur-
pose, This is the bill which Atty
Gen. Owen held to be unconstitu-
tional.
Gov. McGovern has vetoed twenty
two bills and has been sustained in
every one SO far as legislative action
has been had upon them. The nearest
to fiuke in this regard was when the
assembly OVERRIDE the executive OBJ
lection to the Bowe bill providing for
the reorganization of the board of uni
versity visitors. The senate, however,
In that case stood by the executive
and supported the veto.
Among those signed by the governor
today was the Viebahn bill providing
for county board of education.

NEW LAW IS AID
TO RURAL SCHOOLS
PROVIDES FOR EXTENSION OF
TEACHERS TRAINING
FACILITIES.
STATE TO PAY FOR TRAINING
Measure Carries an Appropriation of
$4,000 to Cover the Expenses of
Special Training Courses in connec
ton with High Schools.

Madison.-In the opinion of the
important educational measure en-
acted at this session of the legislature
is the law which provides that in
counties where there are now no
country training schools for teachers,
the board in charge of any high school
whose course is equal to that pre-
sented by the state superintendent,
may establish and maintain in con
nection with the high school a train
ing course.
The state in such case will pay the
expense of a teacher to conduct the
training course. A student in any
such high school may take an addi-
ton to the regular high school course
as additional three or four units and
be graduated at the end of the four
years, not only as high school stu
dent but as a teacher. Any student
taking the training course will find
his or her diploma a certificate good
for five years as teacher in the rural
schools, without further examination.
An appropriation of $4,000 per
year was made to carry out the pro-
visions OF the bill, which means that
twenty-five high schools can at once
become training schools for teachers.
Not only will this multiply the num-
Der of teachers for rural school, but
it will greatly improve the qualifica-
ton of such teachers. Students grad
uate from high school at an average
age of about 10 years, and if they take
the training course it means that the
rural schools will get five years of
service from professionally trained
teachers, of higher average age than
those who now serve those schools.

LARGE HEAD OF THINKERS
They Keep Right on Growing as Long
as Brains Are Active-Opinion of
Expert Given.

After 25 humans beings are not sup
weight, increase their waist measure
or grow stout all over, but the claim
has been made by J. Millot Severn,
an English phrenologist, that there
are many instances where the human
head continues to grow and that
mems heads have been known to in
crease in size after they were 40 years
old. Mr. Severn's claim is of much
interest, regardless of the matter OF
phrenology, but they are actually new
claims, for DR.. j. B. Mege, of Paris.
says the brain does not become fully
developed until man is from forty
five to fifty years Of age.
Mr. Severn says he has measured
the heads of many prominent people
from time to time and he has discov-
cred by means of these measurements
that the head continues to grow at
a considerably greater age than is
generally believed. BY taking careful
cranial measurements at various times
of the same heads he is able to give
figures.
He has, he says, taken measure
ments and examined measurements of
more than a hundred thousand heads
during the last 25 years, and he has
come to the conclusion that just so
Ions as the human brain is active
and kept vigorously at work, it
develops and the head increases, in
