GOOD TEETH
NECESSARY TO
SCHOOL PUPIL
Mrs. Bradford, kenosha Educator,
Says Enlightened Parenthood
is Great Need.

That good teeth have a decided re-
Iation to the proficiency of a scholar
was the assertion made by Mrs
Mary D. Bradford, former president
of the Wisconsin Teachers associa-
tion and now serving her third term
as superintendent OF Kenosha pub
lie schools, in talk yesterday be-
fore the Womans School alliance ON
THE Hygiene of the School Child"
''ThOusands.of children are victims
of a ventilation system that supplies
them with baked air, 'drier than des-
ert air, and destitute of vitalizing
qualities" Mrs. Bradford said. Ven
tilation systems should provide for
breathing outside air and that as
the beneficial effect of the natural,
outside air has been proved by ex-
| pertinent upon sick children in open
air schools there is every reason to
believe that it will be equally adj
vantageous for the normal child.
1--WE shall have conditions of com
puIsory health, as we now have con-
ditions of compulsory education. when
the child conservation shall have
been worked out. This day, however,
awaits two necessary antecedent
conditions: a popular demand for
compulsory health and facilities fol
it's enforcement.
''Both will come when We have en-.
lightened paTenthood; when careful
parents educated to the point OF
demanding that their children. fore
ed into school by law, be returned
to them as safe and well as before;
when ignorant careless parents are
not allowed to imperil the lives OF
their own and others children by
disregard of decency and sanitation,
and when, as a necessity to these
ends, the public is willing for the
sake of the child to pay the cost
of such protection.
can enlightened parenthood is a
great need.

alibi and the burden of proof rest
ed with the complainant. Taking
some kernels of corn he hung from
each, by means of a cord, a tag
inscribed with an appropriate phrase
such as Keep your chickens at

scattered the corn in the strawberry

The H, & R.
CAFE CLOSED

Messrs. Heath and Reynolds open
ed a very neat and tidy restaurant
on Oak street the first of the
year, and it had already. became a
very popular eating place. Both
MessrsI Heath and.ReynoIds were vel
liked and the service was excellent.
Prosperity appeared too much for
the concern and internal trouble
began to arise which finally result
ed in an unpleasant occasion. Mr..
Heath is continuing in the service
in the lunch car on Oak street but
the restaurant is closed. Mrs. Heath
and Mr.. Reynolds left town Tuesday
noon probably for Portage. Wisoon-
sin. Their destination is not known
to the writer. There are a great
many rum0rs afIoat, very few of
which can be believed. AS far as
it was known the sympathy seems to
be with Mr.. Heath. The truth is
known to the parties interested and
that ought to be sufficient for the
general public. Trouble is always
unpleasant and in this case to be
regretted. The least said, the bet
ter, and we hope that the restau-
rant viii be re-opened by some one
thoroughly competent to run it sue

BAND CONCERTS
THIS SUMMER

As the days grow longer and sum
mer approaches, a question often
heard is = Are We going to have
band concerts this summer? AT pres
emf there is no band organized and
if we are to have concerts, an Orga-
nizatiom must be perfected and re
hearsaIs started soon.
The principal objection to playing
in a local band that is made by the
first class musicians OF the city is
that d competent leader has not been
provided. Some OF the better class of
musicians would play in a city band
provided a first class director could
be obtained.
1t is the hope Of all the music
loving people of the city that a good
BAND may be had for the summer cor
certs and some have expressed a
Willingness to help out in a finan-
ciaI way in order TO secure a good
director.

NORMAN GERARD
Born May Is, 1924
At rest March 19, 1915


From Nonrovia. Calf, Daily.
Early Friday morning Norman Ger
ard was called TO end his LIES jour
ney and 10 pass from the sunlight
into the shadowless land. He went
ike a tired reaper standing among
the golden sbeaves, for his had
been q long life OF usefulness.
Born in 1924, near Schenectady. n.
Y, 8Ir. Gerard, who would have been
ninety-one years old had he lived I'M
til May, spent most Of his life in
the middle west, having made his
home in Stoughton, Wis, for the
past twenty-six years. He was pio-
uaer Iumberman in Wisconsin, and
had been connected with the Ium-
Der industry since 1859.
His parents were Quakers, and
while he possessed much OF their
gentIeness and kindness, his char
acter was also marked by courag, e
strength and uprightness. With a
strong heart and an equal mind, he
wrought LIES appointed tasks.
It was fitting that his last days
should be spent in California, for
our city had often been his Mecca
ana his friends were literally num-
bered by his acquaintances.
After Mr.. Gerard had been called
to part with his wife he made his
home with his only son, L. H. Ger
ard and wife. In their protecting care
his days ebbed away so peacefully
and beautifully, the end came to
/ this good man, whose deeds of kind
ness and beneyoIence must here go
unreoounted.
Besides his son, Mr.. Gerard leaves
two grand nephews and a grand nice
in 1Ionrovia, Messrs. Frank and Fred
Trip and Miss Ida Tripp.
The funeral service was held yes
terday at the Renaker chapel and
was conducted by the Masonic or
der and the /. 0. o. f., assisted by
Rev. W. c. Geyer, Rev. George Lord
and Rev. c. H. Marsh. Many beauti-
Jul floral tributes bore silent testi-
money to the love and esteem in
which Mr.. Gerard's memory is held.
Interment will be made at Omro,
Wis, for a quarter OF a century the
home of the deceased.
