Right now, before we say another
word, we want to warn you against
hasty conclusions. We are publish
ing the names of those Nominated in
the contest, but don't get the idea
that they are all going to work, and
that there will be no room for you.
Such is not the case. | know from
past eXperiene that not more than ten
per cent of those who are nominated
will start and that the list will
eventually simmer down to small
number at the last.
Therefore don't let this mislead
you. There is without doubt little
opposition in your field at the resent
time and you can be the first to start
there. Call up the contest manager
at the Herald office, phone Bell II,
Farmers 40, right away and he will
tell you honestly and frankly what
your chances are and advise you on
your campaign. You need not hest
tate YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO
WIN THE CAR, AND YOU CAN
FIND OUT JUST WHAT YOUR
CHANCES ARE BY ASKING
THE CONTEST MANAGER.
You will notice that each candi-
date is credited with 5000 votes.
This is the vote that each one re-
ceives on their nomination ballot.
Watch the paper next week, notice
how the list is cut down, and see
how much each has accomplished in
that time.
THAT FORD.
Of course you know what the Ford
is. Yes, that is the Car that meets
you every place, in the mud, in the
sand, passes you on the big hill, and
in fact they are always on the go.
You meet them every day that have
been in use for years. There are
cars that cost more money but they
are not the cars with the least ex-
pense of upkeep. The Ford is the
car that will go the greatest dis
lance on the least cost. Just get
the man that owns a Ford to compare
his garage bill with the man who
owns one of the more expensive cars.
They are the popular commercial and
pleasure care for the simple reason
that there are LOO Fords made
every day in the year. 100000 ir
use and one made every half minute.

Mass Meeting Well Attended.

A large delegation of citizens met
in the court room of the city hall
Wednesday evening to consider the
Short Line railroad proposition.
The meeting drafted resolutions to
be presented to the city council ask
ing it to reconsider the proposition of
permitting the people of Platteville
to vote on issuing bonds.
A petition with some sixty sigma
lures of Platteville people was re-
Gently presented to the council ask
ing that the matter be puC to vote
of the people. The council refused
by a vote of 2-5. At the meeting of
Wednesday night the citizens asked
that the council reconsider and
permit the people to have voice.

terial; a study of artistic home ar

of the values of foods and the best
ways of cooking and serving; gaining
acknowledge of home sanitation
learning some of the fundamental
principles of nursing these are only
some of the lessons to be learned in
the home economics work as it will
be taught in the Lancaster schools.
Manual training is in its widest
application not merely a subject to
be taught in the school. It is rather
an application of the broad principle
of education, that the whole nature
of the child needs training: mentally,
morally and PHYSICALLY. IF you want
proof of this, go to some college or
university and look at some profess
sor who imagines that he is thorough
ly educated: watch him toll up the

nearsighted, pale and physically life

pens at Madison that they end up on
the wrong side of the lake,.
The mind can be reach ed only
through the body. Any idea that can
be expressed in material form, and in
the greater variety of material forms,
or the better will become much more
definite and valuable as that express
sion is carefully and thoroughly
worked out. The mind can best eX
press itself through a perfectly con-
trolled and we'll trained muscular sys-
TEN; and the skillful use of the
hands is of the greatest assistance to
the expression of ideas and ideals.

is true in a general way of US all, in

The most efficient member of So

PLATTEVILLE NORMAL
HAS NEW DEPARTMENT
For the Training of Rural
School Teachers
j. c. Brockert Will Be in Charge
Ordinary High School Course
No Longer Sufficient

The Board of Normal School Re-
gents at its semi-annual meeting in
February, established a course in the
Platteville State Normal School for
the preparation of teachers for rural
schools. There is no single question
of an educational nature so important
and so much considered by leading
educators throughout the country as
the great problem of the betterment
of rural schools. The first great step
in improving the character of rural
schools is that of equipping them with
more efficient teachers. Fully realiz-
ing the great need of more efficient
teachers and higher standards in rural
schools, the Board of Regents, in ac-
cordance with Chapter LAT, Laws of
1913, established new department
in Platteville.
Chapter lat, laws of 1913, pro-
vides that after July 1, 1915, no
person who shall not have taught in a
public school at least one year will
be granted County teachers certi-
ficate unless in addition to passing an
examination, such person shall have
completed the course of study pro-
vided for the Common Schools of
Wisconsin or one equivalent thereto,
or the course of study proved for a
graded system of at least eight grades
or one equivalent thereto, and who
shall not haze had at least taOO dd-
dittOn0I gears IN instruction IN train
ing, one of 1Uhich shall haze been
deUOted to professional studies prepGr-
atOYy to the aOork of teaching.
Provided that graduates of four year
High Schools not maintaining a train
ing course for teachers need take
only one year of additional work
Students who have completed a four
year High School course and shall
have taught successfully for at least
seven school months and who have
completed the senior year of the
country school course shall receive a
certificate good for five years when
countersigned by County Superin-
tendent.
''What shall do next year?' is
question every student asks him
self. Vacation is short and no sooner
does one term of school close than
another begins.

the direction of the Civil Service
Commission was held to find suit

Will TEACH INDIANS
IN FAR AWAY ALASKA
Lancaster Girl Has Started for
the Arctic Region
Miss Alice Wright Will Have Charge
of an Indian School at
Nenana, Alaska

Miss Alice Wright, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John S. Wright, of
this city, left last Saturday for
Seattle, from where she expected to
sail for the far away regions of the
north, to become a teacher in an
Indian school at Nenana, Alaska,
near the Arctic Circle.
This school is under direction of
Bishop Rowe, of the Episcopal
church, and is located not far from
Fairbanks, which is the largest and
most important city in that part of
Alaska.
At Seattle she partially expects to
be joined by one or two other teach
ers, who are going to about the same
part of the country. The journey is
long and tedious one and is being
made rather late in the year, cold
weather up there setting in quite
early.
Miss Wright is an enthusiastic
church worker and has spent about
three years in a training school at
Philadelphia, preparing for this work.
Nenana is small place, where the
country is wild and new and will
try the fortitude of those who make
the personal sacrifices necessary to
take up school work where the chill
dren are all of Indian birth.
Miss Wright expects to be away
for at least five years.

CONFUCIUS.

The establishing of Confucanism
as the state religion of China by
the President and the new govern
ment of China, is no less IA surprise
than disappointment. That the
government grants religious liberty
to all religions, helps to relieve the
situation to some extent, for China
was Il closed kingdom to Foreign
religions" until recent years, but the
establishing by law of the worship
Of Confucius will not make the task
Of the Christian missionary easier.
After years of contact with west
ern civilization, religion and educa
ton in European and American uni
vcrsitics, and years and years of ar
duous costly work of the missionary
preacher and teacher in that kingdom
it was only reasonable to believe that
better results would follow, and after
all, to have the national government
declare in favor of Il worship, mis-
called religion, is decidedly disap-
pointing. This decree will carry
weight with the masses, and in
crease the difficulties, already almost
insurmountablc, in the approaches
to the minds and hearts of the Chi.
nese people. Not much wonder, how
ever. when it is remembered that
COnfucianism is one of the very old
as ~ n.1l Il.
existence, dating back to about five
hundred years before the Christian
era. When Confucius was born,
about the year $50 b. c., the primal
elements of his philosophy were al
ready taught the people. He began
his career as teacher ut the age of
twcnty-thrce years, and the Five
Books were largely compilation of
The teachers of antiquity and con
teinporaries, combined with his own.
He died at the age of seventy-two
years, leaving Il powerful impress
and influence among the people, which
remains to this day. There are to-
lay thousands of temples and
shrines at which his followers wor-
ship. lie founded, not religion,
as we interpret the word. He taught
a system of morality, having to do
with the duties of man to his fellow
man; and cit is doubtful" says
writer, "if he had any real belief in
Il personal God.
The present situation and recent
developments would seem to in
crease the responsibilities of the
Christian world, whose mission it is
TO spread the truth among supersti-
tious and benighted Chinese.
