Mechanics Given Scholarships.

The demand for professionally
trained mechanics to teach in indus
trial schools has led the regents Of
the University of Wisconsin to create
10 industrial scholarships, carrying a
special honorarium of $40. The hold
ers of these scholarships are to be or
gSnized into a mechanics institute on
the campus of the university from
March to April 8, to give intensive
practice in special lines of shopwork
and drawing, and to give a detailed
consideration to organization and
teaching problems
The necessity for such an institute
is manifested by the fact that men en-
rolled in the special industrial and
trade teachers courses given in Mil
maukee and in Madison by the univer-
sity for mechanics interested in teach
ing have, in many instances, been
urged to accept appointments to teach
ing positions before completing pre-
paratory work.
Three courses will be offered. Two
will be three hour courses, daily. One

drafting and free hand perspective. In
each emphasis will be placed upon the
development Of courses of study and
the appropriate method of demon
strating them. one hour course will
be given in which the problems Of or
ganization and maintenance of indus
trial school work will be discussed,
and in which demonstrations will be
outlined. In connection with this
course all members of the institute
will observe the work of regular in
structors in the continuation schools
of Madison and in the high school
classes in the department of manual
arts at the university. Each member
will thereafter spend some time as an
assistant instructor in the high school
classes of this department
The men have been selected from
nine cities in the state by Prof. f. p.
Crawshaw, chairman of the depart
ment of manual arts The men Sc
lected represent twelve trades. They
were chosen out of a list recon-
mended by employers and school ad-
ministrators in their respective cities
because of their ability as mechanics,
good character and desire to teach in
dustrial work.

irish Library for Wisconsin.

An Irish library which will contain
a collection of books relating to the
history, literature and economics of
ireland will be established in the near
future in connection with the State
Historical library. A fund of $500 has
been subscribed for the purchase of
the books. To arouse enthusiasm in
the movement a St Patrick's day cele
bration will be held at music hall at
the university at Madison on the night
of March II.
The idea Of establishing the library
originated with DR.. Richard T. Ely Of
the university during his travels in
Ireland last year. While in that coun-
try he communicated with Rev. P. P.
Knox of ST. Patrick's church, Madi-
son, and upon his return home took
up the matter with Father Knox
Doctor Ely was greatly impressed
with Ireland, and he concluded that it
would be an excellent thing to estab-
lish library in Wisconsin containing
ture and economics of the Emerald
isle
Through the efforts of Father Knox
the Ancient Order of Hibernians Of
Wisconsin created and provided the
fund necessary to obtain the books.
The obtaining of the fund was taken
up in connection with the special
study Of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans OF the literature and economic
conditions of Ireland. The establish
ing of library was first discussed at
a dinner given by Doctor Ely to Sir
Horace Plunkett upon the latter's visit
to Madison In the library it is pro-
posed to hang upon the walls two
paintings of Irish scenery, the work
of the Irish artist, George w. Russell
of Dublin. Arthur l.. Peabody, the
university architect, has prepared an
artistic book plate for the library.
The collection of books will be placed
in the room adjoining the state his
torical library, and is to be in charge
of the staff at the library.
Doctor Ely will preside at the St.
Patricks day celebration, which will
begin at p. m. This will be the first
st. Patrick's day celebration held in
connection with the university, and a
large attendance is predicted

Labor Market Shows Better.

Employment in Wisconsin during
February showed decided improve
ment over January, according to re-
ports from the Wisconsin public en-
ployment offices. Demand for help
increased over so per cent. In Janu-
airy, for every 100 jobs, there were
PIP applicants while in February
there were only $50 applicants for
every 100 jobs. Compared with Feb
ruary year ago, the condition of the
labor market is worse. Demand is
less by about % per cent.
The improvement in February over
a month ago was due mainly to the
demand for laborers for ice cutting
There were signs for improvement in
other lines as well, however. More
farm hands were placed in positions,
and the metal trades reported a slight
increase in the number of men hired.
In the main, the increased demand
was for common laborers. During the
month of February the public employ
ment offices placed in positions 1851
men and 463 women, as compared with
722 MEN and Alb women in January.
