Racine, Wis. Aug. 2o.--When beau
teous damsels, with bathing caps in
stead Of downing locks. and filmy bath
ing suits instead of the ala baster skin
tints Of tradition. copied the story OF
Lady Godiva. with motorcycles in
stead OF the stored white horse, the
churchgoing people of Racine made
an appeal to the police to stop the
display.
The girls went in groups and from
a slight distance any of the girls clad
in the light-colored suits appeared to
be flying nude figures. the churchgo-
ing folk say. The bath houses lack
capacity to care for the numbers who
wish to swim, say the girls, so their
only recourse Is to dress at home.

Random Remarks

, In last weeks NEWS we mentioned
n that Calvin N. Kendall is the author o
a history of the United States. W.
have copy of the book before us and il
seems as if Mr.. Kendall did not propose
to leave any doubt as to who he was
The book is entitled "a History of the
United States for Grammar Schools, -
by Reuben Gold Thwaites LID, Super
intendent OF Wisconsin Historical
Society, and Calvin Noyes Kendall,
Lift d., Commissioner of Education for
the State Of New Jersey, formerly Super
intendent of Schools, Indianapolis, In
diana, New Haven, Connecticut, etc.
Inc book is copyrighted and the first
printing was April, 1912; revised and re-
printed December, 1912. The imprint
ON the book is HougI1ton Miff1in Com
pany, The Riverside Press, Cambridge.
Commissioner Kendall was first an
pointed in July, 1911, and the first
printing of this book was nine months
later. In order that the identity of the
author might be known it will be seen
that Mr.. Kendall had his full title put in
the book. Whether there are many of
these histories used in the schools of
New Jersey we do not know, nor can we
tell whether the authors get a ROYALTY
for the work or sold it outright, but is it !
just the thing to have the head of the
educational system of New Jersey hav-
ing book in circulation with his name
as author and his title added as if to add |
weight to the value Of the work? When
Jersey used his vacation to sell supplies |
to schools in another county than that
in which he was employed he was
called down, was compelled to give up |
the work and had to refund to his en- |
ployers the amount of commissions he |
had received But things are different
now.
