SEVERE STORM

A severe electrical storm ragged over
Manitowoc county Sunday and Monday.
1t began Saturday night and ragged in
termittently until Monday noon. Tele-
phone wires were down in many parts
OF the country. In the city the rain
fall was very heavy. The franklin
street sewer which is now big enough
TO handle the water as far as Sth street,
but at that point empties into much
smaller sewer, and consequently the
water backed up into Easements all
along Franklin street. This is an old
condition and is not remedied by the
new big sewer because its outlet is
still small The cement cutters laid
by the city on many street slopes dem
onstrated their utility in the floods.
Hundreds OF dollars damage to street
surfaces were prevented.
On Sunday Emil Braun's barn near

burned and Monday morning the barn
on the farm OF Mrs. Geo. keilner near
Branch was struck and with its con-
tents was totally destroyed.

BASEBALL

The Kosciuskos are the champions
of Lake Shore league for the season Of
1915. BY winning the battle from the
Leaders, 2 to 0 Sunday, while Sheboy-
gaL, the other contender was forced to
lay idle, the Poles we're able to cinch
the pennant by game and half.
This ends of the most sensational and
interesting flag chases ever enjoyed By
the Klocksin wheel.
The Poles who up to that time had q
fairly good hold on first place, were
pulled down notch after notch, until
finally Sheboygan four weeks ago, tied
them for the leadership. The Leaders
also about that time, started their
march TO the front.
The Leaders, however, were given a
shock OF Labor day when the weather
man killed all their pennant hopes by
preventing the game ut Sheboygan
and now The unwelcome intruder, just
for good measure, spills the beans for
the pennant hungry Liebl crew on

new RULES FOR BARRIERS.

Several new rules governing barber
ing have just been proclaimed by the
state board of health. In effect they
are:
Every barber shall see that no person
expectorates on the floors or walls of
his shop.
The use of stores, saloons or other
places of business as barber shob is
prohibited, unless the barbershop is
located in a room or rooms provided
especially for that purpose. The pro-
vision of this rule shall not apply in
cases where there is no established
barber shop in the town.
No barber or other person in
charge Of any barber shop shall un-
dertake to treat any disease OF the
skin,
No barber shall permit any per-
son to use the head rest of any barber s
chair under his control unless the
head rest is covered with towel that
has been washed since last being used,
or by clean newspaper.

MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT.

Henry Schmidt, aged %, an employe
of the city's electric department was
the victim of a murderous assault last
Monday evening. The facts furnish
mystery worthy of the best traditions
of detective fiction. Schmidt has re-
Gently been assaulted on two occasions
at night and has been frequently fol-
lowed. On one occasion, he says he
was assaulted near Schoch's lumber
yard and dragged into the yard and re-
covered consciousness several hours la
ter. He did not report to the police
and the matter did not come to public
attention. On Monday he and young
lady attended a north side "movie"
show. He left his companion at her
home on south Eleventh street shortly
after 10 o'clock. On his way back to
his rooms over Robinson's restaurant
he reached the St. Bonface school at
Marshall and llth streets before ll:3O.
At o'clock Tuesday morning Schmidt
was ulSCONGG6u ny Sdii iN'iSS W. 49,
wav to work. Schmidt was uncon-
scious, there was a cash in his head
made by brick. His hat lay 20 feet
away and there were signs Of strug-
gle. The buttons had peen torn off
Schmidt's coat. His pockets had been
rifled and his wallet, emptied, lay
near. From the location it was evil
dent that he had taken short cut be-
hind the schoohouse. Schmidt was
taken to the Holy Family hospital and
recovered consciousness at noon. lie
says that he has no recol lection OF
anything after reaching the school
house and does not recall being struck.
He has one cash in his forehead and
several cuts in the back of his head.
He was evidently set upon from be-
hind without warning. The facts OF
his being followed and having been
twice assaulted before leads to theory
that the apparent motive of robbery
was only ruse and that there Is
another reason for the assault. The
latest Information is that Schmidt has
good chance for recovery.

PRAISING THE TEACHER.
Part of an address delivered by Judge
Baeuch in 1901

Part of an address delivered by Judge
Baench in l9l0)
We sing the praises of the teacher.
We hail him as the hope of America
We declaim that the soldier writes
history with a pen of steel dipped in
human blood, followed by misery un-
told; the statesman writes the law on
parchment, his successors alter, amend
or repeal; the merchant rears his state
y buildings, they crumble, tumble and
decay; The lawyer wins victories with
logic or with eloquence, they are like
the white-caps on our lake, evanescent
and tleetng. But the teacher builds
his monument in the hearts of his
scholars. His ideas are indelibly inn
pressed upon the minds of the young
and thus transmitted to future genera
tons. His influence is flowing down
through the years to come, an ever
widening river OF blessing. And,
crowning him with this responsibility,
we call him the Modern King Yet we
should remember that
"Uneasy lie the heads OF all that rule,
His worst OF all whose kingdom is a
school,"
The teacher, single. handed, can nev-
er accomplish the results hoped for
These results are superior breed Of
people, and the lessening Of the unit
and vicious, who, like Canada thistles,
multiply most rapidly. To succeed in
raising good crop, clean crop, free
from noxious weeds, the teacher must
be surrounded with salubrious climate
and be furnished with fertile soil
Public sentiment must stand back Of
him, uphold him in his work, encour-
age him in his efforts.
PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH.
And that must be done in a practical
way. While we lavishly praise, we
grudinRly, sometimes niggardly, pay.
The advance in teachers wages has
not as yet brought them to that plane
which the Importance OF the profes-
sion deserves, nor has it kept pace
with the progress Of the school, nor
with just regard for Increased de-
mands upon the teachers Jime and
treasury.
In colonial times every family gave
one peck Of corn each year TO the sup
port OF Harvard College. We are do
ing but little better for our home
schools. Yet we are unstinted in our
appropriations to the state university.
II criticism or objection raises it's
voice, 1T is soon drowned by the college

ing the fashionable yell, and find it

But the modest country school sits ST..

the voice OF those who have enjoyed it's
benefits be raised not in discordant
yell, but In earnest and unanimous
protest.
The difference between university,
high school, and common school is in
degree, not In kind. There is no reas-
on why the equipments Of one should
not be as complete as that OF the other,
with due regard, Of course, to its suita-
bility. Schoolhouse and grounds
should be msde attractive, pleasant TO

NEVADA LAUNCHED.

The new Goodrich liner Nevada took
to the water at 1925 yesterday morning
in view of large crowd and to the ac-
compartment of all the steam whistles
in the city. The hull, painted red,
rested on the ways opposite the foot OF
state street. On the peninsula near
by, and on the opposite bank there
were thropgs of people waiting at ii
o'clock. The SCHOOLS had permitted
the children to view the launching and
the youngsters were very much in ev-
idence.
Shortly after eleven workmen were
at work preparing to permit the big
steel hull slide in. When she started
the stern got away before the bow and
hit the water considerably in advance.
She rose to it nicely, righted herself
and was seen to be in the water fine
appearing, sturdy model. She was
built for freight boat and ice crusher
and will be creditable addition to the
Goodrich fleet OF steamers.
The lot of upsetting maritime pre-
cedent fell to year old Albert Good
rich III. of Chicago, sou of President
A. w. Goodrich OF the Goodrich Tran
sit company, at the launching OF the
Nevada. The boy, who is the grandson
of the first Capt. Goodrich, who found
ed the present steamship line in 1886,
was chosen to christen the Nevada.
A touch of sentiment is responsible
for the marked departure from the
unwritten law of the sea that maid
shall break bottle of wine over the
bow of each new ship on its slide down
the ways.
"My boy asked me one day while
looking at the Nevada, if he could
christen it,. said A. w. Goodrich. "lt
was the first flash he had shown of
deep interest IL the calling that the
Goodrich family has followed for thrt e
generations, and consented
Cameras were evident everywhere
and one movie man was on hand grind
ing away at his film machine.
Officials of the company and many in
vited guests from Chicago were pres
ent.
The first Capt. Goodrich would have
marveled at the Nevada's construction.
From its stern and propeller drive, to
its wireless and sprinkler systems and
compass recording safety equipment,
carries every approved safety device.
The first boat bought by the founder
OF the line of Aug. 10, 1856, was the
Huron, y side wheeletpwith a gross of
about 34S ton. In twelve years the
Huron was but one of ileet, necessi-
tating the incorporation of the present
Goodrich Transit company in 1868.
The present head took up the active
management of the line when he was
q years Old when he was elected 10
the presidency.
He turned to steamship construction.
His first contract was the wooden
steamer Indiana, built in 1899 at a cost
of $l35,O 900. The first all steel ship,
the Virginia, at cost of $500, 900, fol-
lowed in 1891, with the Alabama com
pleted in 1910 at 100000 The Neva-
da will make the ninth steamer in the
present fleet The Nevada is 232 feet
long. AZ feet wide. 1t is veritable

kee, Chicago, Muskegon, Grand Haven

speed of seventeen miles an hour,

EDUCATIONAL.
(By G.. w. Meisnest.)

From what | have been able to find
out practically every teacher has open
ed school in a school room thoroughly
cleaned from top to bottom. Many
were fumigated and vanished or
painted inside. This part of the school
cannot receive too much attention
The health OF the children comes first.
Better to spend five hundred dollars to
prevent sickness than TO be negligent
in providing the most sanitary condl-
tions. The school room should be
cleaned several times each year, in
fact once month is not too often.

Most districts of the county will plan
on some kind of fair or festival some
time before the holidays. Many will
be Of an industrial nature with hume
garden products predominating. These
fairs should not only exhibit farm pro-
ducts raised or cared for by the pupils
but regular school work should also be
exhibited. OF course there cannot be
much at so earl y time, but sometimes
the work of the past year can be exhi-
bited. Then in addition to this there
should be short program by The put
pills. This program should be OF such
nature SO as not TO take up much extra
time of the school. Glass exercises or
contest features may be introduced
Then maybe an outside speaker TO ad-
dress the people on any interesting top
ic would be well If one can be secured.
However this is not necessary. You
can have a successful program without
outside speakers. TO carry out a sue
ceSSful program OF THIS KIND VIII mean
good planning and organizing by the
teacher, and cooperation by the pupils
and also the people of the district.
This requires leadership and initiative,
Two qualities that every teacher ought
to possess to high degree. If we are
rs successful along this line this fall as
we have been in the past | will be
highly pleased. If you can't plan
fair, plan something similar to bring
the people together in the school
house for a sociable time.
