The Courier Gazette SAYS that the
cars of the Rocl,land, Thomaston &
Camden Street Railway are now
operated by power which is generated
in the kennebec valley and brought
across country on the pole line erected
last fall. These wires carry the enor-
nous voltage of $4,000, but this is re
duced AT the Glencoye end To 230e
through the medium of three trans
formers. The new power was first
turned on ut . Z. NJ. Wednesday, and
was given a two-heHr trial which
proved 50 satisfactory that the service
was hooked on permanently Thursday
morning. II was the intention Fri
day morning to connect the lighting
service with the new power at noon
that day.

The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1913-09-04

Thursday the last day of the fair did
not bring out as large crowd as the
day previous, but the showing was sat
isfactory.
The free for all race developed some
good racing. Little Smoke from Wyo.
ming, ILL.,, took the race in three heats
being forced in each heat by Bessie b
owned by r. L. Parker of Chicago.
The best time was 2:l2.
The race between horses owned by
members of the M.nitowoc DrivinI
Club was won by Beck S Afrita May in
three straight heats with Paulus' Lit
tie Reaperas "runnerup"i in each heat.
The time of each heat was 2:39i.
The fair was apparently a financial
success and encourages those who have
unselishly devoted time and labor to
keeping up the old institution. Defi-
mite figures will not be available for
some time.

DIED

Charles Salak, ST., for fifty years
prominently connected with the retail
mercantile trade in this city, died at
his home on Chicago street Friday
night. Mr.. Salak was born in Bohemia
10 years ago and came to America and
Manitowoc at the age of twenty. For
>thirty-two years he was connected with
the O. Torrison Company severing his
connection there to launch separate
store in 1895. Since then the Charles
Saiak Co. has been one of the leading
general merchandise concerns of the
city. The deceased had been in failing
health for some time and was told sew
eral months ago by specialist that.his
days were numbered. This information
had no perceptible effect for as much
as failing strength permitted he con-
tinued at his daily tasks and was up
and about the day before his death.
Mr.. Salak was a keen, successful
business man and a good citizen. He
was quiet in demeanor and simple in
his habits, spending his leisure hours
at home or at the Elks club, in which
order he has been for many years an
active and prominent member.
He is survived by his wife, two sons
Charles and Oscar of Columbus, Ohio.
and three daughters, Mrs, Richard
Lueth, Mrs. Martha Pasewalk ana Miss
Olga Salak, all of this city.
The funeral was held Monday. One
hundred Elks marched to the Saak
home and led the cortege to Evergreen.
VIM. Wedengartner, head of the lodge,
carriad through the impressive funeral
ritual and Ralph Plumb delivered a
eulogy for the order.

ANENT The LAKE SHORE ROAD.

The board of the Two Rivers will
have the backing of tax payers of the
town in their fight to defeat levying a
81, 500 tax forimprovemcnt Of the Lake
Shore road, complying with a demand
oi the County Automobile club which
deposited 81, 500 with the town treasur-
er. The Board, acting upon instruc-
tionsof q town meeting, will appeal
from the decision of Judge Kirwan de-
clining 10 quash a writ of mandamus.
Notice of the intended action of the
Board was received by County Clerk
A. J. Auton Wednesday in a letter from
Town Clerk Henry Krase in which
Krase says that at a special town meet
ing 81, 800 was voted by the town under
the state highway act but that the
meeting unanimously voted not to raise
money for the Lake Shore road. Fur
ther the meeting instructed the town
board to employ counsel to assist in
fighting the case, if deemed wise.
In view of the action of the town tits
probable that the fight against the
Lake Shore road will get into court.

ATRANSGRESSOR GETS IS MONTHS

A young man giving the name of
Hartman and young woman posing as
his wife have been boarding at the Ger
man House on South Sth street for q
few months and last week it occurred to
the proprietor that it might be well to
inquire about payment on the board
bill. Hartman was there with the
''curb stone law" He refused to pay
for the girls board on the ground that
she is not his wife. This interested the
proprietor, Klenke, strangely. 1t also
Interested District Attorney Healy to
whom K,enke reported the interesting
state of affairs. II developed further
that the star boarder has wife and
family at Milwaukee. Judge Schmidt
thought eighteen mopths in Waupan
would be about sufficient penalty for
the new defense against board bills and
Hartman wasptaken there Saturday by
the sheriff.
The girl who has been working in
the city says she was lured from Illinois
by promise of marriage and Hartman
may be further amenable to prosecu-
tion in the federal court under the
Mann act. He is also wanted for deser-
tion from the U. S. revenue cutter Tus-
carora having left the boat here in May
without the formality of getting dis
charge.

BASE BALL.

Manitowoc grabbed off two games
from the lowly Port Washingtons last
Sunday and thereby climbed into a tie,
for fourth place. Then Monday s
game with the Logan Squares was
called off on account of wet grounds
and Sheboygan winning while we
stood still forced us back into the sec

Ernie Groth, once a terror on the
mound pitched both games for the
Ports. In the first game he was batted
hard the locals pushing out six hits for
five runs in the third inning. In the
second game Groth steadied but he
couldn't win the game alone. Ryan in
the first game and Shaw in the second
both pitched good ball for the locals.

GERMAN AND AM ERICAN
SCHOOLS.

For some years American educators
have given much attention to the
schools of Germany and have had a
great deal to say about educational pro-
gress in that country.
Lately Prof. George Kerchensteiner,
director Of the schools of Munich, Ba-
varia, has been making study of edu-
cational matters in the United States.
He has made summary of his obser.
vations and has published it in pam
phlet form. Among other things he
says;
During my visit to the United States
gained the firm conviction that we
could learn no less from the American
schools than the citizens of the United
States could learn from us. This is es-
peclally true OF the common school, Of
which have seen ideal examples in
different cities. Indeed, IL would be
greatly desired that the German Gov
enment might arrange TO have the
American schools studied by German
teachers, Just as the American school
generously for many years.
Prof. Kerschensteiner' comments,
as rule, are complimentary TO the
American schools. In different parts
of the country, he said he has found
systems that are incredibly bad" on
the other hand he has seen others of
"the highest possible type" which
"would do credit 20 the finest civilized
nations Of the globe" Considering the
difference in the cost Of living, he
thinks, "the pay OF the German teach
er in all kinds of educational institu-
tions is, on the average, distinctly bet
ter than in the United States"
one point in our favor, in the opni-
on Of the German educator, is that In
the United States the affairs OF the
school are in much higher degree the
affairs Of the people than in Germany
where the citizens OF a community
have little or nothing to say about
their school system.
Doubtless American teachers car
continue TO study the German schools
with profit, but it is just as well thal
they should do so with the understand
ing that no one country has corneret
the supply Of educational wisdom.

EDUCATIONAL.
(BY G. w. MEIsNEsT.)
EDUCATING THE FILIPINO.

EDUCATING THE FILIPINO.
Education in the Philippines is large
ly along practical lines The most inn
portant feature of it Is industrial train
ing.
The schools in the Philippines are
under control of the War Department.
During the last year. a report recently
issued by the United States Bureau of
Education shows, there were 2l6,000
boys and l25,000 girls who received
regular daily instruction in profitable
industrial knowledge. A total of 3d.
600 boys were engaged in hat-making.
Expert workers are employed to teach
the various arts, and the products of
the schools, such as hats, pottery, en-
broidery and the like are sold in the
public markets. The girls are taught
cooking, sewing and domestic hygiene
The director takes great pride in the
Philippine educational system, which
was organized with less regard for pre-
cedent than for the needs of the people.
The effort is to give the children the
instruction that will prove most useful
to them. The dead languages are at
discount and their study in the high
school course is optional. Education
is not compulsory, but there are half
a million children attending school in
the archipelago. Embroidery-making
is remunerative household industry,
and $4,000 girls are being trained in
this work. Most Of the pupils attain
proficiency in from five to six months
The Filipino child is said to be more
deft with the fingers than the Ameri-
can boy or girl, and also is endowed by
nature with greater patience.
In Manila there is school of house
hold industries which every year drafts
lou young women from the various
provinces. These are taught lace max
ing or embroidery. 1t is expected that
every young woman thus trained will
return to her home town and establish
center of instruction. When she has
taught sufficient number of pupils
it is the intention that she shall en-
ploy them at fair wages. Necessary
steps are being taken to assure the
sale OF the output Of lace. The United
States offers a splendid market, i'm.
porting $i0,000,000 worth of lace from
Europe annually and paying 30 to 10
per cent duty. The Philippine product
pays no ta,itf.
Much attention is being given to ag-
rlcultural instruction for the boys. Re-
Gently the corn-club idea has been in
troduced. 1t is intended to foster the
cultivation of corn in order to supple
ment the rice crop, which in some sea-
sons is short. The boys are being
taught how to grow the great Ameri-
can cereal, while the girls are taught
to cook it in various ways. Rice is
now the main dependence for food, but
II the corn campaign is successful maize
will eventually divide honors with
rice.
With few exceptions all primary in
struction is now handled by Filipino
teachers, and large proportion of the
intermediate classes have been turned
over to them. In all there are nearly
5000 Filipino teachers Such progress
Is being shown that there is general
satisfaction with the methods employ
