Typewriter Badger State Product
One of the most useful of modern
business appliances is the typewriter
To present day business men it seems
an indispensable part of their equip
ment Yet fifty years ago it was
entirely unheard Of. Within WiscOn-
sin, and by a Wisconsin man, was
this remarkable business appliance
invented.
A few years after the close of the
Civil War c. L. Sholes, a prominent
citizen of Milwaukee, became con-
WINGED that the slow and laborious
process of long-hand writing could be
lightened and Quickened by machfn-
cry. Sh0les was an inventive genius,
who had attracted considerable no
tice by his ingenuity. He set himself
to his task with enthusiasm and, be-
fore the passage of many months,
had succeeded in perfecting ma
chine that performed typeWriting OPP
erations satisfactorily. On June %,
1868, he and two associates were
given a patent for the invention. 4
few years later they entered into a
contract with Messrs. e. Remington
& Sor5 of the celebrated Remington
Armory for the manufacture of $4,000
of their machines, thus laying the
foundation not only for the develop
ment Of the famous Remington type
writer, but for dozens of others. The
Wisconsin Historical Society has just
been presented by Mr.. f. c. Sholes,
of Chicago, son of the inventor, with
one of the first Of these typeWriters
to be made, a curious old machine
which but slightly resembles the
modern perfected models.

COUNTY NORMAL SCHOOL

The Rusk County Normal Training
School for Teachers will begin it's
ninth annual session on Monday,
Aug. 80, 1916.
The building is being thoroughly
renovated and put in the most san
itary condition, and the grounds pre-
sent their usual attractive and
beautiful appearance.
The class of 1915 is provided with
places, and all will teach during the
coming year.
vised to make it better adapted to
the advancing and increasing de-
mands OF public opinion, on efficiency
of teachers. The one year course is
especially planned to meet the needs
of highschool graduates who desire
to prepare for teaching in one year.
The two year course has also
been strengthened, and regular en-
trance requirements thereto raised.
Whereas, heretofore, common school
graduates, and persons who had
completed eight grades were admit
ted, if Of minimum age Of sixteen
now such persons may be admitted
by examination only, and with the
distinct understanding that defective
preparation be made up through in
creased time of attendance, or
through extra personal effort.
Persons who have had at least one
year of highschool work, will be adj
mitted without examination to the
regular Junior work In all cases
the new students must present their
diplomas, or promotion cards These,
together with maturity, experience,
and general personal fitness to be-
come teachers, will have due con-
sideratiOn in determining the exact
status of the student in the course.
After fifteen years of trial and
observation, the Training Schools
of Wisconsin have received a most
complimentary Endorsement at the
hands Of the Legislature. This is
III the form Of very liberal in
crease i'll financial support from the
state The substance Of the law
now is that the state will pay the
cost Of instruction, and the county
maintains the building and equipment
AS a result, it will be possible to
somewhat enlarge the course Of
study, and to maintain a summer
session, if either or both seem for
the best interests of the county.
The Model School will open two
weeks after the opening of the
Normal Miss Crow, who was in
charge last year, will be on duty
! again. The scope of the work to
be undertaken in this school has
been reduced to six grades, only
four Of which will be offered in
any one year For the coming
year the following grades will be
offered: First, Third, Fourth and
Sixth Parents who desire to have

RAILROAD GIRLS

Officials of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad have
been literally shOwered with applications of girls for
positions since the company announced its determination
to employ girls instead of men dining car attaches
Many of the girls tell of their ability to cook; others
lay claim to unusual tdness and daintness in serving
Not all applicants are professional walters few have
been stenographers. few are college graduates The
idea of being railroad girls" seems to have wide appeal
The new service on the Wheelng's fast trains has
been in operation more than week Patrons of the road
express the wamest satisfaction There reason to be-
lieve that this new field for women's work will prove
profitable to women and popular with the travelling public
Officials of many other railroads have shown interest in
the plan and are watching to see how it works out
The Wheeling girls make a round trip one day and
then rest for day while an alternating crew Of young
women makes the rum This pan it is believed will give
the girls sufficient rest between runs and enable them
easily to stand the long ride.
It is another decided step toward fair play to women
in giving them opening to work wherever they can in
healthful occupations.
Indeed, this irresistible woman movement toward
work in any heathful occupation is doing more than all
else to emphasize upon the public mind the fact that I'M
healthfu occupation is unfit for men as well as women
and must be remeded before anyone is permitted to work
in it,
Railroad dining service has been an enigma in indus.
trial relations Perhaps the women workers will solve it,
they have easily and naturally solved so many other
industrial problems.
