A MISCARRIAGE
Of JUSTICE

Last year a teamster employed by a
company in the state left his team in
the street and went into a saloon and
proceeded to get drunk This he &C
complished. While in that drunken
condition, in climbing upon his wagon
he fell off and broke his neck The
Industrial Commi ssion assessed large
sum against the employing firm for
damages. The evident injustice of
such decision induced the firm to re
siSt payment and the case was car
ried to the Supreme Court which
court sustained the Industrial Com
mission. Here is an instance where
the employee left the service of tho
employer to put an enemy in his
stomach to steal away his brains in
direct violation Of his duty to his en-
ployer ami the industrial Commission
and the supreme Court says the em,
ployer was responsible TOR it. Was
there ever a greater miscarriage of
justice?

SCHOOLS SPREAD
DISEASE

How would you like to wipe your
hands and face upon the same roll
er towel that had been used by 70
or so other people for a week?
Late last year, a new member was
appointed to the school board Of .
prosperous Wisconsin city. He pro-
ceeded to use his eyes and to ask
questions. He found in one school
that children of two rooms were
using one roller towel fcr Il week
He put it up 70 The people who
had children. They were amazed an
shocked. To-day these schools have
individual paper towels, sanitary soap
containers, clean toilets and clean
MOONS.
When teachers and parents allow
such a disgusting condition to exist,
is it any wonder that W. have conta-
geous disease epidemlcS2 Schools,
at least, are overcrowded. Al least
children are in closer contact than
they should be. It's bad enough to
have healthy children so closely hous
ed Sick children should be instant
ly removed.
Medical inspection provides al
most the only means of safeguarding
the well. Intelligent mothers, who
aren't frightfulIy overworked, will
take note of their children's condi-
ton and keep them out of school
on first suspicion of contagious dis
ease. This care, however, will
not insure the protection of their
children from other loss, carefully
watched.
Man used to carry a club with
which to protect himself and his
family Civilized men employs a
policeman. Camphor bags, pota-
toes, etc, were once carried for
protection from contagion. Modern
civilized people separate the sick
from the well. Just as a rotten
apple will contaminate a barrel of
sound ones, so will a child with con
tagious disease contaminate the
well. A school nurse costs a school
district no more than a good teach
er. Here are two simple school
problems:
What is the result of adding
strong bodies to good brain develop
ment of dividing good minds by
weak bodies?"

MODERN IMPROVEMENTS

to learn the truth about a large mum.
Der OF our towns in our state.
That they are thriving is admitted.
That many are pleasant to live in is
also a fact But that they need real,
modern Improvement to keep abreast
of other towns is indisputable. They
can not hope to stand still and let
others progress without losing some
thing and others are progressing,
depend upon that.
Probably carelessness, easy going
ness and lack of fOrethOught are at
the bottom of a situation that is tend
ing to leave many good town so fal
behind others that it will some day
be classed as a back number
You see it in hundreds of towns,
You can visit hundreds of them and
find a public square in each-a wide
barren, dusty waste of land that
serves only the purpose of a wagon
yard, cattle pen or a loafing ground

permit for minute.
For years upon years these uses
have been made of the public square.

BETHEL ACADEMY
NEWS NOTES

| Bethel Academy opened Sept 10
| with an enrolment somewhat less
than last year but as large as could
BE- expected since the church schools
are handling the, seventh and eighth
grades, thus leaving us practically
none in those grades.
Prof W E. Straw, the principal,
made a very appropriate opening
chapel talk from the last clause of
lisa. 1911, Il have purposed it, l will
also do it." After this the students
matriculated and arranged for their
class work To finally adjustthepro-
| gram satisfactorily took several days
It has been said by students and
patrons that never in its history did
| the school open in such business Xix
manner as this year. Both teachers
and students began hard study at
once.
Sept. 10, in the evening, came the
Faculty reception, at which everybody
was made acquainted with the rest
a program rendered and refreshments
served.
The contemplated improvements
have nearly all been completed. These
add much to the comfort and conven-
fence of the school.
In another week or two the skeptic
ohah hIa
finished and the bathroom convenient
es in the boys dormitOry will then be
complete. At the same time water
will be piped to the barn.
The early frosts this week have
made it necessary to cut the corn
1t is planned to fill the silo next
week. The rest of the crops, pO-
tatoes, beets, carrots, apples, plums,
tomatoes, etc, apparently will yield
good returns.
The faculty is as follows:-Prof
w. E. Straw, Principal and business
manager. Miss Gladys McDill Pre-
ceptress, in English and Bible. Mr..
history. Mr. J. Kimble, Mathemat-
les and science. Miss Virginia

A RECORD
Of WORTH

The Grand Rapids High School has
enrolled among its student body a
Wood County lad of Thirteen years
who can boast of five years per-
feet attendance record. This boy
moved into the county and LOCATED
with his parents in the town of Rock
on November 9th, 1908, which was on
Friday and he began Monday morn
ing attending the Lindsey school. And
up to the close of saidschool June
1913, he had not missed a single day
nor been tardy single time.
This is evidence Of good material
to work upon and it is just this
kind that our school faculty like to
get hold of and with the splendid
corps of teachers and the fine e
quipment that our school presents
there is a probability that this
same individual stands in the way
of making a new record. At any
rate there are those hoping it shall
be so.
These brief remarks would not
seem complete did We not introduce
the name to you of this young gentle
man, Warren Robinson, and we
wish for him all the favors and ac-
complishments of a studious career.

WASTED SYMPATHY

A great deal of maudlin sympathy
| is being wasted upon men who are
so bankrupt in character that they
won't work no matter how great neeG
there is of their service, unless they
| can have work just to their liking
| The following from the Atlantic Mon
| thly for September is right to the
| point:
'fThere is a more serious corse-
quence, however, than scarcity of
food; it is lowering of character.
Governor Eberhardt of Minnesota
tells of a visit he made to Minneapo-
| lis in a harvest emergency, for
| laborers to gather wheat. The farm
ers were at their wits end to save
their crops. 1t is said that the
city was full of the unemployed who
were looking everywhere for jobs.
He found them, as he says, seated
ON the park benches in all sections
OF the city and overlooking to the
curb stones. Some of the men were
on the verge OF starvation, and the
charitable organizations of the city
were taxed to the utmost capacity to
task would be an easy one and he
could take back as many men as he
wished. He picked out his men and
told them he wanted their help. They
We're eager forthe chance and said
they could do anything. He spoke of
the service he had in mind in the
country and on the farms, when inst
antly their faces fell and they were as
glum as before. Their answer was:
We don't want to go to the country,
boss. We don't want to live on a
farm. There's nothing for us there,
no life, no entertainment, no lights
nothin' but monotony and work We'd
rather stay in hte city and starye
than to go to the country an have
nothin to do but work No sir,
We stay right here. And stay they
did. He couldn't get one Of them
to go with him, and the farmers had
to harvest their wheat as best they
could while the city held in it's grasp,
enough men to garner
all the crops of the state.
We cannot suppose that Minneapoli
was any worse than any other cities |
in this particular. 1t is likely that |
a proposal Of this sort would have |
been received by the unemployed in |
any one of thousand American cit |
les in much the same way. And |
that is the worst of it, for it means
an essentially wrong attitude OF
mind in multitudes of people. Will
ingness to lie idle rather than to I'M
dertake anything they do not quite

TO go where they are wanted and can
