LARGER USE Of
THE HIGH SCHOOL
BY H. L.MiIler, Principal Wis
cOnsin High School, Asst.
Professor of Education,
University of Wis.

The Wisconsin High School of the
University of Wisconsin has incorpo-
rated in definite practice a policy,
which has large possibilities in Civ
ing direction to pupils spare time.
The fact that high school children
find all sorts of ways to occupy their
leisure hours and often in the de-
sire and craving for life find un-
wholesome diversions is sufficient
evidence that energy is being unwise
ly distributed, and further that the
school is not exacting tasks beyond
pupils ability and capacity to accom-
plish.
The following announcement ap-
pears in the Wisconsin High School
bulletin, under Leisure Hour Pur-
suits"
Young people through their own
initiative are Interested in special
activities not included in the for
NAL course of study Under stimu-
lating guidance such borderline pur-
suits may be made fruitful in the
lives of pupils and worthy of recog-
milton by the school An obvious ex-
ample is music pursued under Il
Vate control. Instances often arise
out of school studies, such as pho
tography wireless telegraphy, max
ing historical or scientific collec--
tions, extensive readings in particu-
lar fields, conspicuous work in
school enterprises, special achieve
ment in the application of manual or
artistic skill, etc. Industry and life
pursuits may suggest opportunities
of a similar character.
ANY pupils desiring to receive
credit for such activities must make
definite arrangements with the prin-
cipal before beginning a particular
piece of work so that a clear un-
derstanding may be had az to re-
quirements In giving these types OF
activity recognition IL should De un-
derstood that mere routine work in
volying no progress in learning, or
skill cannot be considered 1t Is
The purpose, however, to provide
way for giving credit for systematic
effort and definite attainment in
these lines so long as these activi-
ties carry with them some education
al value.
Pupils are encouraged to select
some pursuit which will serve to Or
ganize thei" various interests about
. central purpose. The school
stands ready to assist in the organi-
zation of reading matter and in the
utilization of any equipment at its
command"

OSHKOSH MAN MAKES
80 ACRE FARM PRO-
DUCE $4,000 A YEAR

OSHKOSH, Wis, July 90 Five
miles from Oshkosh, n. A. Rasmus-
sen lives on his thirty acre farm
that has been trained to produce a
gross income of $4,000 annually.
Though fruit is the main considera-
ton, vegetables are grown in guam
tity and of quality. One item this
year is an acre of muskmelons. He
has just marketed an abundant crop
cf raspberries, red and black, which
are his reward for spraying. The un-
sprayed berries on nearby farms

ICES each season $4,000 as a result
of scientific treatment of raspberries,
gooseberries, currants, and strawber-
ries. A special feature is a name
less gooseberry, which originated
with Mr. Rasmussen, who controls
the entire stock. A single 3-year-old
bush of this produced more than six
teen quarts.
Six men and a girl for general
housework are employed and board
in the family. Mrs Rasmussen finds
time to prepare a goodly share OF
the summer fruits for her home con
sumption. The family took $500 last
fall in premiums on their exhibits
at local fairs. These included pan
try stores, fresh fruit and vegetables
as we'll as cattle and poultry.
Household conveniences are kept
on a par with outside improvements
After the house was fitted with fur.

auto-truck was purchased three years
ago for marketing produce and has
proved a saver of time and horses
Today a new touring car shares the
garage with the truck. Al model barn

will have a sanitary water bubbler

Run over by the cars, being terrib.
ly mangled and dying soon after be-
ing found was the sad fate of a
man who gave his name as William
Wallace and who, in a ante-mortem
statement, said he came from far
away Iowa
The accident occurred at what is
known in railway circles as the
!ast passing track frog situated a.
bout half a mile this side of Ru =
dolph.
Wallace was discovered by the
crew of passenger train No. 1,
which is due in this city at 5:19, a.
m. The trainmen supposing the
man dead, went on into Rudolph and
made a report to the agent there.
DR.. Jackson and a section crew went
out to the scene of the accident, and
found the man still alive. He was
some what rambling in his talk and
said that he had been lying there
for sixteen hours The injured man
was placed on a hand car and taxi
en- to the station at Rudolph, where
he died at half past six this morn
ing.
The supposition is that he was rid
ing on the fast freight which comes
through here al about IL O'Clock at
night and that he fell off and un-
der the cars. There is no positive
evidence as to just how the acci-
dent occurred or whether he was
riding the train or not.

the evidence and to bring the body
to this city.
The evidence secured by Judge
Pomainville is substantially what
has been given in the foregoing ex-
cept that one witness said that he
thought he had seen the man in
this city Wednesday afternoon, that
he was wearing a blue serge coat
and had been drinking. The mutili-
alton OF the face of the dead man
prevented positive Identification by
this witness. An examination of
the body showed that the left arm
mad been torn out at the shoulder,
the left leg badly Iacerated and the
eft foot cut off. The skull was frac-
tured over the right eye and there
were numerous concushions all
over the body. In answer to a teIe-
gram sent by the agent at Rudolph
to the division headquarters at Wau-
sau, the officials sent back the fol-
lowing reply: ''The company ac--
cepts no responsibility for the man s
death. Notify district attorney and
coroner to take charge of remains. ="
A paper was found in the man S
pocket on which had been written
the following: Home address, J John
Murphy, 14S Westgate Keighley,
Yorkshire, England.
The body was brought to this city
and taken to the Ragan undertake
ing parlors. The author tics are try
ing to locate some reISl tive of the
dead man and failing tc o so,
burial will have to be at the coun-
tvs expense.

NC GOVERNS FINISH
POLITICALLY AT HAND
The People of the State Will
Express Themselves at
The Primaries

Two years ago Gov. McGovern was
re7eIected to the goVernorship by
Progressive Republicans in prefer
ence to electing a Democrat. Sena--
tor LaFollette aided in his election,
but in doing SO, he said it was bet
ter 10 take on a poor Republican
than a Democrat. Now he must go,
is the decision of all old line Pro
gressiYe Republicans Read what Sen
ator LaFollette has to say in his MAG
azine:
THE American people as body
whether in Wisconsin or elsewhere
do not complain without cause. They
do not always protest, even when
there is crying need for protest.
Reason for Complaint.
There is complaint of high taxes
in Wisconsin this year There is rea-
son for it,
The annual appropriation for uni
yersity and normal school buildings
were excessive.
The appropriations for highways
we're much beyond the amount which
can be wisely and economically ex-
pended
These appropriations doubtless
carried with them others which are
justly open to criticism.
Such a course begets waste and
looseness in administration.
1t is no excuse to say that it is
not graft. that no dishonesty is char
ged, that the money was appropriat-
ed for worthy purposes.
Those who conduct government
assume grave responsibility. The APP
preparation and expenditure of the
peoples money is the execution of
a public trust.
THE leadership of state govern
ment in Wisconsin carries with it
anotha4 and a peculiar obligation.
Like s. ta1ck in da. ...sess, for more
than decade, Wisconsin has light
ed the way to real representative
government where, Year by year We
are realizing higher and higher ideals
of service and turnishir & an eXanl-
pie which every state in the Union
is seeking to emulate. To permit
even a pGssirg cloud to fall across
the pathway # WiscOnsin's progress,
to dim her glory even for a moment
OF time, is a thing never to be for
gotten by the sons and. daughters of
that proud state
Governor is Blamed
And upon whom should fall the
responsibility Of this wrong to n
great cause and a great common
wealth?
