IEcoUaAoE COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL


In his late message to the legislature
Governor Philip dealt quite fully with
the states educational needs and
changes, and in some respects entered
upon very advanced ground. Especial
ly is this true when he advocated
central board of education for all
branches of the work in Wisconsin.
The governor paid strong fapd de.

ing schools Of the commonwealth, urg-
ing their development for larger field
of usefulness. He maintained that
they are the instruments for fitting in
struetOrs to teach in the country schools.
the place where the fundamentals of
the educational superstructure are laid.
The country schools have been too long
neglected, the governor declared, and
should in the future have their inning.
Governor PhiliPp evidently under
stands the situation. His contention is
true in Verron county. Our training
school has performed a substantial
work in the educational system. 1t
should be enlarged and given oppor-
tunity for increased. Efficiency.

II is the testimony of the internal

An Earl,s ouel with a Butler.

About the middle of the last century
the Lord Rosebery of that time was in
Paris, and in paying a call one day he
was received so rudely by the butler
that he complained to his friend of the
servants conduct But the butler had
been a noncommissioned officer in the
French army, and as such he chal-
lenged Lord Rosebery to duel. The
earl accepted. and two shots were ex-
changed without result, But Lord
Rosebery was angered at his own con
descension and afraid his antagonist
might ay aside his military rank and
resume his duties as servant. thus
exposing an earl TO the reproach OF
having fought with butler. So he
settled an annuity of $3.50 on the man
on condition that he did not return
to domestic service. The condition was
faithfully observed on both sides.

An early contest is expected in the

Notes About Birds,

A peculiar characteristic about birds
is that the young of those that build
nests in trees are blind when hatched,
sre naked, unable to walk and are fed
by the parent bird. Among the wad-
Ing birds the young can walk. swim
and pick up food Immediately upon
leaving the egg. With birds, as with
higher animals. the females seem to
fancy bright colors and music; hence
Mother Nature usually ornaments the
head. neck and tails of the males that
they may find mates more readily. The
male birds usually excel In music also

NOT QUITE SO BAD. BROTHER

Roy Ware, in his Necedah Republi-
can entertains positive views on the
much heralded state vice commission
and remarks:
'"The language used in the report on
file with the legislature is so vile, and
obscene that there is a movement on
foot to prevent it being circulated
further. The reading Of this report by
young men and women would do more
harm to them morally than any other
piece of literature known in modern
times. The commission made consider
able noise willie engaged in their vice
luyestiga ions-needlessly calling the
public's attention to ali existing inmor-
atty. But the Investigations and ac-
companying harms were tame compar-
cd with the report The original ard
all copies should be buried and give
the public a chance TO forget the whole
demoraliz.ng affair as quickly as pos
sible. -
