part in the work OF the home and the
influence that this work will have up
on their own development, While the
teacher should emphasize the impor-
tance Of the work done in the school in
arithmetic, spelling, reading, ETC., the
teacher should also, whenever occasion
offers itself, emphasize the Importance
OF doing well even the most ordinary
duties of the home, such as carrying in
wood, washing dishes, sweeping the
floor, feeding the chickens, etc. If the
child feels that the teacher considers
these things OF Importance he will ac-
quire different attitude toward these
duties from what he would have &C.
quired ii the teacher disregarded them
or minimized their Importance, and
their worth on character-building.
The atmosphere of the school should
be as homelike as possible. Not only
should the environment Ie like that
OF the home, but the attitude toward
life should be Of such a nature that the
child feels as he sits in the school room
that he is being prepared for life.
When he goes home at the close of the
day, 1t should be with the desire to
take part in the work OF the home and
to contribute to its welfare. He should
feel that the very existence Of that
home depends upon It's own activities.
With cordial cooperation on the part
Of the home and the school large re-
suits will accrue. The teacher and pa
rent should realize that the best devel-
opment Of the child and the best inter-
ests of the future citizen depend upon
the steady and honest cooperation OF
all the community forces working tc
the same purpose; the making OF the
best possible American citizen, read,
and willing TO cope with the political
and economic problems OF the twenti.
eth century.

Around fountain In one of the
principal squares Of Quito assemble
every morning the city's aguadores.
These water porters differ from the
less energetic ones Of some South
American cities In carrying their jars
upon their backs instead of on the
backs of mules. Their earthen jars
are deep, have wide mouth, and
hold about 40 liters.
The porter carries 1t on his shoul-

never detaches himself from his jar
either to fill 1t or to transfer its con-
tents to that of his customer.
He turns his back to the fountain
so that the jar comes under one of
the jets of water, listens to the sound
Of the water in the jar, and his ear
Is so well trained that he always
walks away at the exact moment
when 1t is filled to the brim.

CITY CASE DECIDED.

Word was received yesterday from
Judge Byron Fark of his decision in
the case of VIM. Rahr against the city
and II officials for alleged misuse OF a
city sinking fund in financing the wa
ter works purchase over year ago.
The defendants had admitted the mis-
appropriation of the fund for general
city purposes but alleged that it was
put back from the general fund before
the action was started. The financial
transactions in the evidence were quite
complicated. The court holds in effect
that although the money was put back,
that the last $4,000 of the fund was
not restored until after the action was
started and that while the plaintiff is
not entitled to the injunctional orders
he asks and was not at the time OF the
trial, still he is entitled now to his
costs because he had cause of action
when he started the suit.
The IA aldermen never answered the
complaint and never appeared in the
action. The court holds them liable
also for the costs to which city officials
strenuously dissent on the ground that
the $4,000 which the court says was
not put back soon enough was technic-
ally misappropriated by the treasurer
and perhaps the mayor entirely with
out any action by, or even knowledge
Of, the city council,
The costs will amount to about 800
distributed among IL officials, but nev-
ertheless, an appeal is being discussed.

MANIT0WOC, WIS, THURSDAY. APRIL 3. 1918.
. DIEO .

Mrs. M. Fl. Murphy pissed away at
her home on North Fourth street
Wednesday morning. For four years
she has been struggling with disease
that slowly brought on her end. Her
maiden name was Charlotte Flynn. She
was born in the town OF Two Creeks in
this county 81 years ago. Her ances-
tors were Scotch-Irish and her father
was a member OF Hudson Bay ex-
ploring party in his early years and a
pioneer settler in this county. Her
school education was acquired at Two
Rivers and Chicago and for some time
she taught school in this county. In
1878 she was married to M. III. Muir
ply who with three sons, Francis,
Henry and Clement, all of this city,
survive.
No person who ever came in contact
with Mrs. Murphy could be other than
her friend and admirer. Her heart
was large enough to embrace all hu-
manity. Her sympathy went out in
stantly to distress in any form without
question of its cause and with no at
tempt to apprase the worth of the
distressed. Her charity asked no ques-
tions but need. Her intellectual and
artistic gifts were kept in the back
ground by an innate moiesty that
charmed. Mrs. Murphy had gift of
real poetry. a volume of her collect
ed verses entitled "Whispers of the
Sea" published two years ago evoked
pra'so from many competent quarters.
Sne was engaged in preparing another
volume when her illness prevented it's
completion. In her earlier days she
also produced some canvasses that dis
played talent. She was almost idolized
by countless friends in all walks of life
who found. her winning personality ir-
resistibly attractive.
Her family, who lived in an ideal
home atmosphere of her making, have
the sympathy of the community. The
recollection of her heroic struggle with
disease and her serene departure not
to mention beautiful and full life is
inspiring.
The funeral will be held Friday
morning from Sacred Heart Church.

A good story is told at the expense
OF Rev. H. Stone Richardson, at one
time pastor Of the M. E. church of this
city. He conducted services at the
Oshkosh asylum and was deeply affect
ed by the singing Of the choir. Hence
in his prayer he besought Omnipotence
in touching language to remove the
cloud from the minds of the inmates OF
the asylum and particularly from the
members Of the choir whose voices
praised the Lord SO sweetly. The sur
prise of the reverend gentleman may
be imagined when at the close OF the
services he was informed that the men,
bers OF the choir were not lunatics nor
inmates of the asylum.

A PRAYER FOR PEACE.


Great Jehovah-God of power!
Hear the prayer I offer Thee:
Stay the fearful clouds that lower
Ger our nations troubled sea.
God, for whom the winds are still,
God, whose voice the waves obey,
Show thy mercy: thy strong will
Can scatter all the clouds away.
Great Jehovah--God of peace.
Whose kingdom is not of the sword,
Bid this civil strife to cease;
Speak the people-blessing word;
Quench the burning fires of hate,
That rank deep in brother hearts,
Restore to them the love that late
Bound the Unions severed parts.
Great Jehovah-God OF love!
Ruler from eternity!
From they mercy seat above
Bid the demon discOrd flee
Discord, with his poisoned breath,
Who long among our homes has
been,
Bringing misery and death,
Where life and happiness were seen
Great Jehovah-Israel's God
Guardian on the desert drear,
At whose will tender rod
Drew from the rock fountain clear
In this dark and dismal night
Lead us with thy father hand
Guide us by thy pillar bright
Into the holy promised land:
Restore sweet peace--our Union spare
God of nations, grant this prayer!
The London Times has the following
suggestive remarks upon the present
position of American affairs:
"To the Northeastern, or Puritan
States, are traced the causes in which
tie war originated. They profited, as
manufactures, by the protective tariffs
against which the South protested as g
commercial tyranny, while they infus
ed into the question of slavery the vio
lence that made even peace threaten
ing. The Federal Government should
accept the separation Of the South
and end war which is fast becoming
more and more hopeless. The divis
ion would not be an nnmitigated cal
amity. A magnificent territory, no,
half settled and large enough for ar
empire, would still remain. No cent
ra! power could have long held the i'm
mense Western continent under sin
gle Government. America would lose
nothing by peaceable division, ant
even gain some advantages from the
wholesome influence of equal neigh
bors.
