This was the decision in the case of
Fred Seibold of Camp Douglas. 1t is
a reversal of Judge Il. Ray Stevens of
this city. Justice Eschweiler wrote :
I'VE lind that Seibold registered in
the university from Camp Douglas,
where his parents reside and to which
place he returns as opportunity per-
mits, and who is dependent in part, at
least, upon that home for his support
His attendance at the university is
for a temporary purpose merely. We
are of the opinion that the defendants,
Wahl and Riley, were clearly right I'M
der the facts as presented to them in
denying Seibold the right to vote, and
the order of the circuit court overrul-
ing the demurrer to the complaint
must be reversed"
The court sustained the decisions of
Judge Stevens in the cases of John
Gross and Albert Asbahr, in which it
was clearly shown that they We're self
supporting and "emancipated" from
their families. Both may vote.
All cases were actions against cleo
ton officials who refused to allow stu

continuation schools will serve the
purpose. All that is necessary is to
make application to the local school.
The efforts Of the board are so to
supplement the endeavors of the
previously organized schools that
every boy and girl will be provided an
equal opportunity for training in his
or her chosen vocation with that given
by the state and cities to the more for
tunate and favored children who have
the educational avenue established
through the high school and college
for training in the professions.
The report of the secretary showed
that much is being accomplished in
the way Of extending the service,
adapting the instruction of the schools
more and more to the vocational in
terests of the people and greater econ

together more closely instruction in

Military Training Installed.

With the installation of a practical
military training system at the state
reformatory for boys at Green Bay by
direction Of the state board of con-
troll better men, both physically and
mentally, will result when inmates re-
turn to take up their stations in So
ciety, members of the board believe.
Capt. NJ. D. Imhoff, formerly of Com
pany E, Wisconsin National Guard,
who has been engaged as drill master,
has taken charge of the work. Cap
tain Imhoff had been a guardsman 10
years and a captain for 10 years, and
is well versed in drilling methods.
THE inmates will be drilled for an
hour every day, but this training will
not interfere with the regular work or
school duties of a prisoner" said Cap
tain Imhoff. Regular military drill
movements, similar to those used in
the infantry, will be used.
There are 300 boys and they will
be divided into squads, platOons,
camps and battalion will be formed
of all the groups. Prisoners who show
an inclination to leadership in drilling
and who have a record of good be-
havior will be appointed corporals,
sergeants and probably Heutenants,
"In addition to the regular drill the
West Point setting-up drill will be
taught, which is the same exercise
used at West Point This exercise, in
particular, makes the men look differ
ent after a number of drills. Most of
these chaps have had no chance in
life, and walk with a sloppy gait and
are st0op-shOuldered.
These exercises will remove those
defects and develop them physically
and mentally. The men will drill with
wooden guns or wands."
Captain Imhoff recently returned
from tour of inspection of eastern
reformatories where the system has
been used with success. In Elmira,
n. Y, he saw 1000 boys 90 through
the various drills in perfect order.
