REPORT OF COUNTY
UPERiNTENCENT OF
SCHOOLS

To the Honorable Board of Super
visor of Rusk County, Wis.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen:
Comfortable with Sec. 461, Re-
vised Statutes, l respectively submit
for your consideration and approval
this my second annual report of the
schools of Rusk County. The pur-
pose OF this report is to apprise the
members Of this Board Of the con-
ditions as they obtain in the admin
stration of our public schools. |
therefore desire to enumerate a few
improvements that have been made
during the past twelve months, and
some instances where further i'm
provements can readily be made.
STATISTICS
The last census give the number Of
children of school age, in the coun-
ty, exclusive OF Ladytsmith, 1922. OF
this number 1916 are boys, and 1776
are girls. Of this number there were
enrolled in school 1176 boys and 1044
girls.
Number of school districts, 70 The
number of schools, IS, requiring 1O7
teachers, of whom 16 ere men, and
81 were women. This lows an in
crease over 1910-1911 of nine teach
ers.
The 10cts. per capita tax enabled
us to put into the school libraries
SIS volumes, at a cost of $40. 80
This constitutes valuable addition
annually to the libraries of the sew
eral districts, as these are books
of choice reading in general liter
allure, Agriculture, Natural History,
and Political History for the pupils,
and professional works for teachers
use.
Rusk County is still, in the main,
a timber section, and for this reas-
on the planting Of trees on school
grounds has not received the atten-
ton it deserves. Many school yards
are wholly without growing trees,
making the surroundings appear
somewhat bleak and lonely during

erS are to a. great extent RuSk cOun-
| ty farmers and who have done a
great deal in the way of pioneer
work in this cause, we your commit
| tee feel that for this reason and the
further reason that owing to the ap~
preparations made by the county in
the past that it would be folly for
Rusk county to now assist financial
ly society which it is proposed to
create would result in the injury and
damage of an institution which Rusk
county is in a measure the maker
thereof for which there appears no
be refuted at least that there is
support for two such institutions in
the county when in the past one
has been far from self supporting.
WE THEREFORE, RECOMMEND
THAT THE PETITION BE NOT
GRANTED.

of which has added to the facilities
for the carrying on Of an annual

ty as a whole.
Therefore be it resolved, that the
sum Of Five Hundred Dollars be and

The Only Cure

When you can't get her out OF
your head, young man,
And you hate what you have
to do,
And you shirk every task that
you find you can
And the others yoc hurry
through.
When all you can see is the time
to quit,
| know how the each symptom
goes,
There's only one way to get over
It:
The next time you see her
proposed
When you think when you're
called to the telephone
That hers is the voice you'll
hear,
And because it isn't, you sigh
and groan;
When you find that your
brains not clear.
And you can't add figures or
write a bit,
When the columns are all
awhirl,
There's only one way to get over
it,
And that is to marry the girl.

During the past week a mann
moth gathering. under the aus.
pices of the National Reform
Association. has been holding q
series of meetings in the stadi.
um of the Multnomah Athletic
Club in Portland. AT these meet
ings noted speakers from all
parts of the world have been
heard missionaries, pastors, ed
ucators, moral reformers and
other leaders of Christian
thought and action. Among the
foreign countries represented
at the Conference were Norway,
Turkey, Japan. China. New Zea-
land. Korea, Ireland. Scotland.
Germany, France and Italy. The
addresses of these noted leaders
in modern reforms have been
listened TO by crowds which filled
the immense open air auditorium
10 full capacity. II is probable
that the next Conference will be
held in 1915 and il is almost GER
tain that San Francisco will be
chosen as its location.
