Ing summons to take the matter into
the Dane county circuit court. His
lawyers will maintain, in brief to be
filed in day or two, that the power of
removal is not lodged with the COVER

Purance commissioner. The governors
order of removal is made under a gen.

tEkern was appointed commissioner in
May, 1911, and was confirmed by the
senate. The salary is $4,000 a year.
The charges brought by the COVER

Years OF experience and close OBJ

demonstrated that there is no more
profitable animal on the farm than
the hog, and no variety of farm stock
that will so quickly lift man from

New School Constructive.

Calls New School Constructive.
1.-THE principle Of the continuation
schools in our state is constructive
not destructive" said w. e. Hicks,
assistant state superintendent OF IN
dustrial schools of Wisconsin, before
the Joint meeting of the educational,
the social service and the home
economics departments of the Wom-
ans club at the Woman's building,
Milwaukee. He continued by saying
that the aim Of the promoters of the
occupational schools throughout the
state is to provide education for the
many young people who drop out OF
the schools before they have had suf-
fcient education. 1t is not the inten-
tion Of the heads of the continuation
schools to interfere in any way with
the regular schools or the established
system of education throughout the
state.
| "There are two kinds Of continual
ton schools" he said. THE night
schools to which anyone over sixteen
years of age may go and where he
may learn anything from stenography
to dressmaking and the day schools
which provide for two classes of pu-
pils-the children over fourteen years
of age who are employed and are
called permit children because of the
| permits issued by their employers to
attend the continuation schools for
| five hours of the week; and the all
! day industrial schools where children
over fourteen, who having passed be-
yond the Fifth grade, have left school
and are unemployed.
There are four hundred and sixty
pupils enrolled in the continuation
and night schools of Madison and 12,-
600 in the state of Wisconsin. There
are thirty schools established in "a
cities in the state and these schools
have been organized only since Sep
tember, 1912"

er what benefit he will derive by Keep
ing the dairy sanitary, shows him now
to clean the place and even helps him
to do it, he will find that in most cases
the farmer will respond and that potn
will derive benefit.
"A year ago, when shippers were
getting Is cents can more Tor tnelr
milk than they are now, conoltlons
were no better" he said. "The result
of the high price was that the farm7

their barns were more crowded and
