Many Students of Kenosha
High School Enter Col
lege For the New Year.
STATE UNIVERSITY IS FAVORED

The Kenosha high school is sending
more beginners to colleges and univer-
stiles and normal schools this year than
have been in attendance at institutions
OF higher learning at any one time in
the history of the school so far as we
can discover. Of course, it is not the
single purpose of the school to prepare
candidates for college. The curricu-
lum and the purpose of the school are
bigger and broader than that, as every
one knows who is giving the matter
more than mere passing consideration.
But the greater advantages and oppor-
tunities that come to those who ain
the more extensive and finished train
ing are always held out to those who
are able to take that training. And it
is with no small pride that the school
can offer this long list of Kenosha
high school boys and girls who will be-
gin college work this month.
Byron Hill, Alex Olshefski, Ralph
McElwain and Miss Ingeborg Rudd
will enter the University of Wisconsin;
Lester Siedschlag and Miss Edith Matt
son are accredited to the University of
Chicago; Miss Hazel Macdonald goes
to the University of Colorado at Bould-
er; the Misses Amy Newman, Elsa Mel
son and Margaret Pirsch enter Stout
Institute at Menomonie, Wisconsin;
Miss Alice Mccall goes to the Univer-
sity of Illinois at Champaign Urbana,
Lawrence College at Appleton will re-
ceive Harry Wallis, Lawrence Eastman
and Miss Marian Havens; Miss Natalie
Mckenzie and Miss Gladys Trenary are
entering the Milwaukee State Normal
school; Miss Florence Pennefeather the
Normal school at Whitewater; and Paul
Windesheim is accredited to Armour
Polytechnic Institute in Chicago. This
list of eighteen does not contain the
dozen or more who are already upper
classmen in colleges, having entered in
previous years from Kenosha.
The Kenosha high school aims to
give its students what they need and
want, and especial pleasure is felt when
its graduates want more education and
avail themselves of their preparation
here to go out to this great variety of
schools to profit by the great variety
of training which they offer.

first free school to the city. Before
she was twenty years of age she had
started her work as a teacher and she

she was called to the schools of Chi

Of seventy years officials of the schools
of Chicago declared that she was one
of the most valuable of the women
teachers in the great school system in
Chicago.
She was a woman of high literary
attainments, but she never put herself

teacher of little children.
When she gave up her work in Chi

SCHULTZ SALOON ROBBED.
Burglars Enter Saloon at Russell and
Secure S160 from Register and Safe

The biggest burglary that the vii
lage of Russell at the state. line has
known in its history took place at an
early hour this morning when burglars
entered the saloon of Emil Schultz
They broke open the cash register and
safe in the place and managed to get
away with $3.50 in cash. The men en-
tered the saloon by forcing open the
rear door and evidently they worked
with every idea of security. The safe
had evidently been broken open with a
sledge hammer Nothing was heard
from the saloon during the night and
the burglary was not discovered until
Schultz opened the place this morning
He hurriedly telephoned the facts in re-
gard to the burglary to surrounding cit
les. The burglars left absolutely no
clew behind them. In the past few
days Russell has been infested with a
band of ramps and it is thought pos
sible that some of these men were re-
sponsible for the burglary.

WILLIAM Ell. TAFT
IN FAVOR OF PEACE
Ex-President Criticises Administra-
tion's Attitude Toward Mex
lean Rebels.

NEW YORK, MAY lS.-William II.
Taft gave his views upon the Mexican
situation yesterday in an address at
the Free synagog 5 celebration Of
Peace Sunday. While the former pres
idcnt expressed little hope that the
pending mediation conference would
accomplish its immediate purpose, he
declared that the offer of mediation
and our acceptance was an important
step toward the future settlement of
international difficulties in the western
hemisphere.
lie asserted that there was no popu-
lar pressure for military policy
which the administration cannot resist
He said that the people were deter
mined to do their duty even should
that duty involve war. But for war,
he added, the people have at present
little enthusiasm. The criticism which
Mr. Taft leveled at the Wilson admin
istration had to do with the aid which,
he said, the administration had given
to the constitutionalists. 1T Is my
Judgment, he said. that ii, in our
course toward Mexico during the past
year. we had not exerted such direct
influence as we have to aid one of the
contending parties, we would not be
so near general Intervention and war.
He declared that 400, 900 men and two
or three years time and an expendi
ture of $l,000.000 a day would be re
quired for the subjugation of Mexico
should the present complications pro
duce war.

GATES ASSISTING
IN SECURING OIL
Working with Road Commissioner and
o. B. Hughes in Obtaining Low
est Rate for Street Sprinkling.

Warren l.. Walker, road commission
er, o. 3. Hughes, in charge of the
sprlnkllng of the streets for the VII
lage, and State Road Commissioner
Charles W. Gates are working together
with the idea of obtaining for Brattle-
boro at the lowest rate what oil is
needed for oiling such streets in the
village and roads in the town as it is
desired to have oiled
Residents of High and Green streets
have petitioned that the dust on those
streets be laid with oil, and this will
be done as soon as it is possible to get
the oil here. In the meantime the
dust is being kept down with water.
Practically all Of the other residential
streets are to be sprinlled in accord
ance with the petitions of the residents
submitted to the village commissioners.
Most of the residents of Prospect Hill
have submitted petitions for street
sprinkling and residents of one or two
streets that did not petition for the
sprinkling last year have done so this
year, indicating that the work as done
under the charge of the village last
year was satisfactory.
The expense as announced bv' the
commissioners Will be at the rate of
one and one-half cent front foot on
residential streets and FIVE cents a
front foot on Main street. The ex-
pense this year will he little more
than last because of the fact that the
sprinkhng season is a little longer this
year than it was last, the season in
1913 not starting until early in July.

work half a day on the sprnkling job,
including Sunday. During the sprink-
ling season those drivers are being paid
ST more each week because of the Sun.
