MAY BUILD MODEL SCHOOLS
Erection of Buildings in Wisconsin
Rural District Considered by Rus
sci Sage Foundation.

Madison.-The division of eduea-
ton of the Russell Sage foundation
OF New York may establish few
model rural schools in Wisconsin. Ev-
cry member of the legislature has re-
ceived booklet from the foundation
giving a comparative study of the
public school systems in the forty
eight states. The report shows that
for every 500 of wealth in Wiscon-
sin, 81 cents goes for schools; Illi-
nois, 20 cents; Minnesota, 80 cents,
and Oklahoma, which has the largest
proportion, rs cents. The report
shows that il costs 16 cents each day
for one days schooling for one child
in the state of Wisconsin, as COM
pared to % cents in Minnesota, %
cents in Illinois and in South Caro-
Lima, which has the lowest percent
age, cents for each child. The re-
port shows that 50 per cent of the
people in the state of Wisconsin are
illiterate; 3 per cent in Minnesota
and 81 in Illinois.

A TREE CLUB HOUSE.

Every boy at one time or another
nearby vacant lot, and where one or
more trees are available preference is
generally given to tree hut. Not
only does a location among the tree
branches appeal 20 the romantic side
OF the young builders nature, but
recognizing the fact that once the lad
der leading to the entrance has been
removed and hidden, the hut is mac
cessible to passersby, there is a feel
ing of security in knowing that Meth
er unfriendly boys nor tramps can dis
turb 1t.
The construction of the aerial foun-
dation for tree hut is the most i'm
portant part Of the work This Of
course must be very carefully planned
and securely put together. It's form
win depend largely upon the size of
the hut, but principally upon whether
one, two or three trees are used for
supports. Where two or three trees
are close enough together, 1t is adyan-
tageous to build the hut between
them again, most satisfactory plan
is to construct the hut in the crotch
of large tree, or to build it around
the tree, extending brackets from the
trunk to all four sides of the platform.

SHORT SESSION IMPROBABLE
Legislative Members Slow on Getting
Ioeas Together for Drafting of
Measures-Few Bills Introduced.

Madison is the usual talk
around the chambers of short SEES
sion. That always is heard at the
beginning of every session and then
the legislature proceeds to carry its
sessions along into June or July.
No one expects the present session
will come to close before the mid
die of May at the earliest The vet
Grams predict June L at least as the
date on which the legislature will
adjourn sine die
One peculiar thing about the pres
ent session is the few bills that have
been introduced. Less than forty
bills had been introduced at the close
OF The second week of the session.
Members seem to have waited un-
til they reached Madison before get
ting their ideas on legislation put in
the shape of bills. AS a result of
this Dr. McCarthy's bill mill, as
the legislative reference bureau is
known, is being rushed to the limit
in preparing bills.
Inc lay over of four days which
the legislature is taking will give the
reference library chance to make
some sort of a dent in the pile OF
ideas which have been dumped in on
the workers. 1t will be only dent,
however. 1t will be overtime work
there for some weeks to come.
Speaker Hull is determined to
shorten the session considerably from.
what 1t has been in former years. The
speaker has expressed himself as in
favor of night sessions, "or getting
up at 4 O'Clock in the morning" ii

RULES ON TABLE. DECORATION,
Professional If He Viii Follow
These Hints.

1t is not necessary to- have ones
table decorated by a professioEst II
the amateur win remember a few sa-
lient rules of table decoration.
Do not have clashing colors. They
jar on the eye like a "calithumpian
serenade on the ear. To promote this
harmony take into consideration the
color of the rooms aud of ones prin-
ciDal china; likewise. unless your
complexion is OF the best. your own
looks.
one-color scheme is always SAFE
but should have a background OF green
in foliage or trailing vine. In combl-
nation do not try to be bizarre, and
remember that all shades of the same
color will not harinonize.
Pink and lavender are charming TO
gether, and far less commonplace than
blue or pink. Dark blue and purple
and pale yellow are effective; so
oddly enough, are orange and scarlet,
as scarlet sage and golden rod.
Further consider the season OF the
year. A vivid decoration that would
look we'll in the fall or winter would
be ugly in hot weather. Likewise
would be ugly in your color scheme
for the lighting standroint-natural
or artificial.

Unique Decoration.

W. T. Stead. who went down with
the Titanic, did not disapprove of the
wearing of decorations, but he con-
sidered the insignia now in use
strangely inadequate. He resolved to
create new insignia to replace those
he deemed to be insufficient. He
chose a trousers button. This decora-
ton he conferred on those he deemed
worthy. One day he had with Nicholas
IL. conversation on peace. The
ideas of the emperor of Russia
pleased him greatly and at the close
of the interview Mr.. Stead took one
of his buttons from his pocket and
hooked it upon the breast of the
car.
