Some one has been destroying the
quarantine cards posted by the health
officer on the homes where contagious
diseases have been found. This is a
state offense and the officers are max
ing an investigation to learn if possible
who the guilty party or parties are. If
they are apprehended jail sentence
faces them for no alternative of fine
will be given. Why any person should
commit such an act is beyond compre-
hension unless they consider it humor-
Gus for people to walk unwarped into
the danger of contracting sickness. If
they consider il so they will find it a
rather expensive joke, not only upon
the persons thus foced into quarantine,
but most expensive upon the joker.
The offense is very serious one and
the officers are highly incensed over
the perpetration, ,-Boyne Journal,

WOLVES PURSUE
ESCANABA WOMEN
Women Have Experience Like
That of Early Pioneers,

Toe chased for distance of about
two Niles by wolves, was the rather
unusual and altogether thrilling eX-
perience of two women, one of them
carrying baby, along the crossroad
between Ford River Switch, just as
dark had settled down. The women
were homeward bound along an old
tote road through heavily timbered
section.
Darkness fell earlier in the deep
woods and one of the women in turn
ing to loose her dress from a brier,
suddenly saw an animal of some kind
slinkfFay in the brush short dis
tance. She said nothing to her COM
panion but kept a watch backward
when they started again. In about a
minute she was convinced they were
being followed by two lurking shapes
that could be nothing but wolves.
The woman carrying the baby was
then told of the suspicious of her COM
panion and they increased their pace
in the hope of shaking off their deter
mined pursuers. The darker it became
in the forest, the nearer the wolves
approached, but they were held at safe
distance by an occasional club hurled
in their direction.
Being thoroughly frightened by this
time, the women eXerted every ounce
of strength they possessed to get to a
road before darkness was complete.
Finally they made their way into q
clearing near the road mentioned but
by this time the danger had become
om.-ous. Two large wolves were
growing boldcr, approaching some
times as close as 20 feet to the horribly
frightened women. Emerging into the
road, the women began running, the
wolves following them along the road
hut keeping just within the timber
A party of autoists from the city, fnr-
tunately for the women, approached at
this time and took them into the car,
making rapid run to the first farm
hosue, where the occupants were
aroused by the tale of the two women
who were almost Frustrated by the
thrilling experience they had just
undergone,

SIX AND SIX PLAN
High School Course of Study is
to be Revised

1e high schools of Michigan are
each year increasing in importance,
The last five years has seen remark
able movement Of rural students to the
high school, There has also been
marked effort on the part of school
authorities to make the high school
teach the things that will be of most
use to the boys and girls. For the pur-
pose of aiding in this problem the De.
partment of Public Instruction will
publish in August suggestive Course
of Study for Michigan high schools. 1t
will indicate work along four distinct
lines: college preparatory, agriculture,
domestic arts and commercial. This
work will be outlined so that pupils
may begin to choose the line they wish
TO pursue in the seventh grade instead
Of the ninth as at present. This will
make the division between the elemen-
tary school and high school come with
the seventh grade. 1t is believed the
large number Of children who now
leave school in the seventh and eighth
grades will be held in school by giving
they work which meets especially
withtheir needs, This organization
will also enable schools to teach all
grades above the sixth by the depart
ment plan, that is by having a special
teacher for each subject. Moreover
the pupil will advance by passing SUBJ
iects instead Of grades.
Present conditions in Michigan
schools are such that the proposed
plan can be adopted easily, Several
cities of the state have already tried
the plan. In other states also the plan
is uaeting with favor wherevey tried.
BecSse IT divides the school course in
to two parts, each covering six years,
the proposed organization is commonly
called the Six and Six PlaR,

ness of the public, having with marked
success served the city of Alpena as its
city attorney and the county of Alpena
as prosecuting attorney.
Mr.. SCOTS ability was recognized,
not only by this county, but by her Sis
ter counties, and he was elected to rep
resent the Twenty-ninth Senatorial Dis
trict in the State Legislature where
Senator Scott became leader. During
the session of 1913, his brother senators
recognizing his ability, elected him
president pro TEN, of the Senate, as
assigning various important committee
work to his charge and making him
chairman OF the very important COM
mittee, the Judiciary Committee.
Senator Scott is of such a genial and
likeable disposition that there is prob
ably not man better known in Michi-
gan than he is and ono need but to
meet him to be his friend. The people
of the Eleventh District of Michigan
may well feel proud OF being represent
ed in Washington by man possessing
Senator SCOTS ability and we feel sure
that he will discharge these new duties
as faithfully and efficiently as he has
served us many times in the past, Al

AN ALPENA PRODUCT

Alpena is indeed fortunate in having
one of her sons as a candidate TO repre-
sent the Eleventh District of Michigan
in congress. Mr., Frank d. Scott is
purely an Alpena product. He was ed
ucated in the Alpens public schools and
concluded his education in the Uriver-
sity of Michigan. After graduating
from the Law Department of the Uni
versity of Michigan in 1901, he entered
the practice of law here in Alpena, be-
coming one of the ablest members OF
the bar.
AS careful and painstaking attorney
he has served his clients efficiently and
has devoted his legal abilities with the
same conscientious care to the bust

Sixteen Standard Schools.

Sixteen schools in Western Michigan
have been honored by plates designat.
ing them as standard schools, This is
half the total for the entire state, al
though the territory is but one quarter
of Mchigans S area Ottawa comfy has
four such honor schools, Newaygo
three, Mecosta three, Grand Traverse
two, Kent two, Manistee and Muskegon
one eac",
Western Michigan therefore stands
pre-emnent in educational facilities.
There is nothing new in this statement,
but recognition of the fact by the state
authorities is both pleasing and stimu-
lating. The people of the western
counties have long been aware that the
educational system is the foundation of
progress. To improve the schools is at
once their passion and their joy. To the
rising generation they have given
generously of opportunity. No sacr..
flee has been too great for the citizens
of Western Michigan, no cost too high,
provided their sons and daughters
could secure the best instruction the
country offered.
Buckle in his great work on the
"History of Civilization" shows that
what really counts for progress is Il q
rise, exchange and spread of ideas. All
the improvements that have been made
in the life of man since the stone age
have terminated in thought Those
peoples which have Systematically fos-
tered education are dominating today
all over the world. Consequently
Western Michigan's high standard in
its public schools is of service not only
to this immediate section, but to the
state and nation. In this stimulation To
national thought Western Michigan
may well share in due time the reputa-
ton of the western reserve upon which
nursery of ideas" the whole north
west territory drew so svidly in the
days before Michigan became a state

SCHOOL MONEY
Fewer Districts Forfeit Primary
Money This Year,

The first apportionment affected by
the amendment to the Constitution
relative TO the apportionment of pri-
mary money was made in July, 1912 In
that year 492 districts forfeited their
share of the S5,5l5,000.00 primary
money distributed in the various
schools in the state. In 1913 this number
had been decreased by 800, 1913 districts
forPeiting, In the coming apportion-
ment TO be made July Is, 1914, only 80
districts will be barred because of hav-
ing surplus balance of primary money
at the close of the year. The total
amount of primary money on hand in
the district treasures Of the state at
the close Of the year 1918 was $S2S, 36l
90 as against the 81, 700, ,000.00 on hand
previous to the year this amendment
went into effect The most noticeable
change caused by the more equal dis.
tribution of the public money has been
in the Improvement OF certain school
conditions. Many small districts have
voted to close their schools and are
paying tuition to better school than
they could maintain. In large districts
where formerly there had been but one
teacher employed now we find two and

Working for a Silver Cup

For the third time the Western Mich
igan development Bureau will make an
exhibit at the Apple show conducted
in connection with the annual conven-
ton of the international Apple Ship
pers' Association. At the Chicago con-
vention in 1912 Western Michigan had
showing of fruit and at the Cleveland
convention in 1913 the apples from the
Traverse City State Hospital won the
silver medal among the displays made
by the northern states from Maine TO
Minnesota. This year the convention
will be in Boston, and il is hoped that
the exhibit from Western Michigan will
receive the sweepstakes prize, a silver
cup, as the finest display of apples at
the show. The apples are picked as
near August first as possible, and are
Judged according to size, color and de-
gree of perfection for that date, due
allowance being made for the differ
ence in climatic conditions between
the southern and northern sections OF
the country.

The United States Civil Service Com
mission announces that while it has no
difficulty in securing sufficient female
stenQgraphers and typewriters to meet
the needs of the departments at Wash
ington, the supply of male eligibles has
not been equal to the demand. Young
men who are at least Is years of age
and who are willing to accept the usual
entrance salaries, which are $40 and
$500 year, have excellent opportuni-
ties for appointment. While the en-
trance salaries are low, advancement
is reasonably rapid to those meriting it.
The examinations, which any oompe-
tent stenographer should be able 10
pass, are held each month in the year,
