OBITUARY

Mrs. Sophia Erickson Sorrenson, was
born in Denmark, January 18th, 1872,
and came to this country with her par
ents in 1882 and has resided in Racine
and Keosha counties since that time.
She was married to Samuel Sorrenson
October 4th, 1892. Eight children were
given to them, five girls, Mrs. Luella
Wienke, Woodward, Wis, Bessie, Stel-
la, Minnie and Laura Sorrenson and
three boys, Mckinley, Samuel and
Emery, all of whom except Mrs. Wien
Ike, reside at home. Mrs. Sorrenson IS
one great care and interest was for
her family and as the wise man has
said, cher Children Will Arise and
Call Her Blessed' She was not mem
Der of any church, but she was a firm
believing in God and the Bible and she
cherished a hope of the life beyond.
She had for some time been an active
member of the Royal Neighbors. She
had not enjoyed the best of health for
number of years, but seemed to be
much better for the last year or two
and it was therefore a great shock to
the family and the whole community
when, while waiting in store with
her daughter in Antioch, ILL.,, she fell
to the floor and died within two
minutes. She is survived by her aged
mother, Mrs. Margaret Erickson, one
brother, George Jergensen, two sisters,
Ellen Erickson, who resides near York
vile, in Racine county, Anna Erickson
OF the town of Paris, Kenosha county,
also her bereaved companion and the
eight children named above. The
funeral services were held at her late
home on the Geneva Road on Sunday
afternoon, the 10th inst, the pastor of
the Bristol NJ. E. church officiating, as
sisted by the choir of the same church,
in the presence of large number of
sorrowing relatives and friends, after
which she was tenderly laid to rest in
the North Bristol cemetery.

Board of Education Threat
ems to Cut Off Country Stu
dents at the High School.
NO ROOM FOR THE OUTSIDERS

The Kenosha high school, which for
many years has furnished higher edu-
cation to the boys and girls Of Keno
sha county, may be forced to bar its
doors against the receiving of any
more students from the county. This
condition was brought prominently be-
fore the members of the board of edu-
cation at the meeting on Tuesday even
ing and an examination of conditions
at the high school has been left in
the hands of committee. 1t is un-
derstood that final action in the mat
ter will be taken at the next meeting
of the board. At the present time
eighty one young men and women from
the towns adjoining the city are regis
tered as students in the high school
and it is not the intention of the board
to force any of these students to dis
continue their work. However, many
members of the board believe that in
the future freshmen from the rural
districts should not be permitted to
enter the high school. 1t is held that
the room in the present building is so
limited as to make it impossible for
the board to take care of all the young
people of the city seeking to enter the
school. The barring of the country
students would come as hard blow to
many worthy students in the Surround
ing towns. There is but one other
high school in the county and this is
located at Wilmot and it would be all
but impossible for students from the
eastern towns of the county to go to
Wilmot to attend school. The action
Of the board at the next meeting will
be watched with great deal of in
terest by the parents of young men and
women in the outlying towns.
At the meeting of the board all con-
tracts for supplies for the coming
school year were let and in each case
the contract went to the lowest bidder.
The big contract for the coal supply
will be let in the early summer and
the committee has been instructed to
ask for bids.
The plan of ozonating the water at
the Kenosha high school has not prov
ed a complete success and the members
of the board decided to continue the
examination of the system for another
month before closing the contract for
the purchase Of the plant.

If the police department has no
authority under the present ordinances
of the city to bar Objectionable films
from the moving picture houses, the
council should pass any ordinance re-
CURED to give them that power as
soon as possible. An investigation of
the shows given in all of the picture
theatres of the city discloses the fact
that some of the houses are running
highly Objectionable films. Many of
these films are declared to be not only
wholly unfit for the children who make
up a large percentage of the moving
picture audiences to see but some of
them are said to be actual indictments
to crime. 1t is impracticable under
the conditions under which all of the
picture shows do business to have a
local board of censors pass on all Of
the films before they are exhibited in
this city, but as a way to get around
that difficulty and insure that no OBJ
Jectionable films are run here, it has
been suggested that the theatres be
permitted to show only such films as
have been passed by the boards of cen
sors maintained in all Of the large
cities. 1t is claimed by those who have
investigated the class of films run here
that films which have been condemned
by the board of censors of Chicago
have oees. rushed immediately to the
smaller cities, Kenosha being one of
them, by the film companies without
any of the tcuts' demanded by the
Chicago board being made. If that is
the case it is surely time that such
work was stopped Films that are too
tough for Chicago are too tough for
Kenosha and viii do no good if shown
here
