able person for assistant clerk in a
post office. There were sixteen APP
plicants for the position. The
chances were only one to sixteen, or
in other words if all passed, ONLY
ONE of the number who took the
examination could be appointed.
The teaching profession offers
better opportunities than clerkships,
and out of sixteen people PREPARED
to teach, it is safe conjecture that
fifteen of the number will secure
positions. The one who tails to
secure school is better qualified,
because of scholastic training, to &C
cept another position should one
present itself.
The preparation of teachers for
rural school work has been neglected.
More and more we find the people
demanding better trained teachers.
To meet this demand the State
Legislature, at it's last session, passed
law requiring at least ONE YEAR
of PROFESSIONAL TRAINING be-
fore student can become a legally
qualified teacher in country school.
The Platteville Normal offers a
course for teachers of rural schools
and Mr.. j. C. Brockert, Superin-
tendent of Schools of Grant County
has been appointed director of this
new department.
With a minimum salary of $4,000
per month, and in view of the fact
that there is a constant and increas-
ing demand for GOOD teachers at
higher salaries, it is doubtful whether
one can find many positions that offer
greater possibilities to young men
and women than does that of teaching
in the rural schools.
Will you not enroll in the Platte
vile Normal next September? The
School will prepare you to fill
responsible position. Give this ques-
tion the consideration it merits.
If you have not received one of
the Platteville Normal Quarterly
Bulletins" one will be mailed to you
upon request. The Fall Semester
opens September Is.
Superintendent Brockert under
stands the needs of young people we'll,
and his enthusiasm and genuine in
terest in education make him an ex-
ceptional man to head the New Rural
School department

AROUND WORLD AWHEEL.
Ohio Man Plans to Circle Globe on
Motor Cycle.

J. H. Cooper of Akron. Ohio, is start
ing on an extended motor cycle trip
around the globe. Before leaving the
United States, Mr.. Cooper is making a
trip through several of the states with
the object of selling calendars on the
way, and thus provide for his expenses
in foreign countries, London. Paris, Ber-
lin. Rome. Cairo, Africa, South America
and Australia are included in the timer
ary.
The trip was planned for last year, but
postponed awaiting the new model motor
cycle better adapted to the hardships Of
the tour. A special attachment for car
rying two suit cases was designed for
Mr.. Cooper's machine, and also an extra
gasoline tank. with capacity of five
gallons. a week will be spent in an
eastern motor cycle factory studying the
construction of the motor cycle before
leaving for the foreign shores. In many
OF the lands he will visit it will be es-
sentiaI to have a complete knowledge Of
his machine, so that he can make any
necessary repairs.

TO REMAP WESTERN ROUTES.
Volume of Travel in 1915 Leads to
A A A Plans

The volume of travel toward the Pa
cifc in 1915. inspired by the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition. has caused the American
Automobile Association to formulate
plans for the remapping of all the i'm
portant routes.
A. l.. Westgard, the road man of the
association. who has made more trans
continental trips in his Premier than any
other motorist in the country, is at pres
ent in Indianapolis preparing for the long
trip. All the old national trails through
northern Arizona, New Mexico and Colo
RADIO will be rechartered and marked by
suitable sign posts, and those who con-
template the trip across the continent
may be assured of a trip over a route
easy to follow. Contrary to ordinary be-
lief. it is almost impossible to become
lost. and in the main the roads are ex-

SPEEDSTERS ON TRIPS

Roadway to Leonardtown Tested by

BY HOWARD s. FISK.

Hr. Washington Motocycl,
Club had no regular rur
scheduled for last Sunday
but the speedsters went out If
all directions. De Witt Willis
and George Cochrane. having heard OF
the good trail 10 Leonardtown, decided
they would try it. and report that they
were not at all disappointed, as the road
all the way was the best they have ever
travelled. Willis said he thought he had
Travelled some good roads in New York

with the Leonardtown pike.
Capt. "Buck" Grier hit the trail for
Green Spring Valley. near Baltimore,
ping out the runs for the coming month.
The regular weekly meeting of the
club was made rather short Wednesday
night as the bunch went out to Glen
Echo, where social time was enjoyed.
The return trip was made about 11:3o
o'clock.
The members of the club are elated
over the races held at Benning Decora-
ton day and It is rumored that several
Of the members are better off financially
considering the results.
Today Leonardtown will be the mecca

The members will make the trip to see
whether the report of Willis and toch-
rane is correct

Rule for Conditioning Car.

In conditioning the car for its sea
sons work the top should have it's fair
share of attention. Hand-buffeted leather
tops very often need nothing more than
a careful sponging off with tepid water
and CASTLE soap. the leather tops with
the enamel fractured or worn thin will
doubtless require, in addition to sponging
of with the solution of water and CASTLE
soap, renovating with a thin application
Of some reliable leather dressing This
may be prepared by adding to one part
of liquid asphaltum three parts of castor
Oil to which further add little ivory
black for proper intensity of color. APP
ply this material sparingly to the leath-
er. This same dressing may also be
used to advantage upon rubber tops

MOTOR CYCLE NOTES.

\ striking example of the consistent
performance of the modern motor cycle
was given in the recent run of the Yonk-
ers, y. y, Motor Cycle Club, when. OF
the twenty entrants. sixteen riders fin
ished the AS miles with perfect scores.
A new motor cycle club has ben formed
at Scranton. Pa. with seventy-five char
ter members
Lon Cla1in of Salt Lake City. Utah,
recently rode his motor cycle el.S miles
on a single gallon of gasoline.
Jess NJ. Faux of Bedford. Ind, is
planning to start about the first of July
on a motor cycle trip to Milwaukee.
So effective has been the work of the
motor cycles used by the police of Read
ing, Pa. that additional machines have
been ordered for the department.
About eighty-five motor-cyclists of Min
neapoIis took part in the first run of the
season. which was to Anoka, Mimi. ~
number of similar events are being
planned for the summer BY the Mime
apolis club.
Davidson, Paxon & Stokes of At
lanta, Ga. say that since they use a
motor cycle in thei recollection department
cent.
Again American motor cycles have won
in competition with those of the foreign
make. The recent Victorian Motor Cycle
Club century run in Australia was won
by an American machine.
"The use of motor cycle has in
creased our business to such an extent
that il has become necessary to employ
additional help to take care of orders, y
said the manager of pharmacy of
Berkeley Cal. The fact that people know
prescriptions will be delivered promptly
by motor cycle has brought many new
customers to the pharmacy.
At the recent observance of good roads
day in Illinois ten riders from the
quincy Motor Cycle Club aided in the
work Of repairing the roads by acting as
motor cycle messengers
Encouraged by the success of the at
tack on the motor ear license charge in
Mississippi. it is probable that legal
action will be taken in New Orleans to
do away with the s. charge for license
plates and the $3.50 charge for chauf-
feur's license and the expense incidental
TO the photograph which is required for
each license.
