Friday, March 3, 1915.
According to astrology this is not a
fortunate day. Neptune, Venus, the
Sun and Uranus are all adverse, swhile
Jupiter is friendly.
1t is an exceedingly unlucky rule
for women and for romance. Owing to
the malefic sway of Uranus misappre-
tensions and receptions are supposed
to be more common than at other
times.
Weddings and engagements are not
under a fortunate leading. Contracts
of every sort should be delayed as
they will bring discomfort. the seers
say.
Theaters are likely to suffer while
this figure prevails. The closing of
many playhouses is indicated and a
falling off in the number of American
actors is prognosticated. The death

This is not lucky day for seeking

ferment should not be asked when the

try will be seriously affected by the

Mexico is subject to a sway so sin

Dear Miss Marshall: Would il be
! beneficial to me as a stenographer to
take up Spanish, and IL so what class
of work would require it; and. also.
would ii increase my salary" Can you
tell me if there would be more posi-
lions in the West than in the East
that require Spanish?
Can you suggest any other language
that would be of any or more benefit
to me?
am DESTROYS of increasing my SAL
airy. and any suggestions which you
might make will be greatly appre =
ciated. Very truly yours.
There is no doubt of the fact that the
knowledge OF Spanish would be bene-
fetal to a stenographer. and in many
positions would make her able to COM
mand a higher salary. But in Wash
ington there is little demand for the
stenographer speaking SDRnish or any
other foreign language. Practically
the only foreign correspondence in
washington takes place in the diplo-
matte offices and the assistants in the
emba ssies and legations are. as a rule.
appointed by the governments sup
porting them.
In New York and other mercantile
centers there has been in times past a
demand for stenographers understand
ing Spanish rather greater than the
supply. At present this demand is not
very considerable. but there Is every
indication that with the growth OF
South American commerce which Is
bound to come in the near future there
will be a proportionate demand for the
stenographer understanding Spanish In
all mercantile and commercial centers
with a good knowledge Of foreign
language a stenosrapher ought to be
able to demand from 90 to 40 per cent
more than without it. There Is an
occasional demand for stenographers
Speaking French or German In mer-
camille centers. but on account of the
certain increase In South American
trade, Spanish would be the more de-
sirable language.
Very truly yours.

Supt. and Mrs. A. C. Kingsford
arrived before Mr.. Davies concluded his
talk and Mr.. Kingsford said ne would
fit his remarks to meet the request of
the club president az ne understood it.
AS fully one third Of the scholars at
tending high school are from rural
communities, their needs are worthy Of
consideration. While much is said in
these days about the faults of rural
schools, judging by the products of
these schools received at the Baraboo
high school he feels that much of this
adverse criticism of country schools is
sadly overdone. Farm life and coun-
try home influence give to the rural
young people an earnestness of
purpose and self reliance which are of
great value to them in their
school work. When possible
he would advise young people
when attending high school to do 80
from their own homes. When this can
not be done he would advise spending
the week end at home as much as pos
sible Some are 80 constituted as not to
be diverted by city attractions but
those who have the benefit of nearness
to their own home-life or of friends in
the city who can give home-like in
fiuence are more fortunate than those
who must chance inclination against
Judgment. The diver ting attractions
of city life do not affect the girls as
much az the boys.
Some of the scholars from outside
come to the city with habits already &C
CURED which make them undesirable.
The courses of study offered by the
Barsboo high school are intended to
give fundamentals in training which
are fittiAg for any walk in life. There
are optional courses giving choice in
lines of study that are of special value
to scholars from rural districts, and
helpful to those who are to become
! teachers IN country schools. 10 any
community able to secure such educs
! tional talks as were given by Superin
tendents Davies and Kingsford, such
meetings would be of great value.
Much interesting discussion follow
ed in answer to the ques ton, why
do teachers wages in Sank county aver
age lower than in many other counties?'
We were told that education grades
higher in Sank county than in many
others, consequently we have an over
supply of teachers.
1t is expected that Mr.. Koppke'l
mems chorus will furnish music at the
next meeting and that some of the lady
members of the club will sing.
