Advantages Of a
II. s. Education
written by a Junior)

A high school education is an i'm
portant foundation for any boy,
whether he desires to become a pro-
fessional man by going on to some
higher institution of learning, or If
he simply wishes to stop his educa-
ton after high school. In the high
school he can take subjects which fit
him for entrance into Normal or
University, and in most such schools
a high school education is required
Then also besides the required
studies, the course offers commercial
work such as shorthand, banking,
bookkeeping and typewritlng for
boys who wish to become business
men, bankers, etc. This comercial
work is especially useful to boys who
plan on entering the business or pro-
fessional world.
It also offers manual training and
domestic science. These al e subjects
which are useful to boy or girl
every day. Manual Training teach
es boy the right use of tools and
how to take the best care of them
Domestic Science is important to a
girl who does not expect to go on to
school. 1t teaches her how to pre-
pare foods with the most nutrition
at the least cost, and it shows her
how to prevent wastefulness. To the
girl who likes this kind of work it
offers preparation for going on IN
some school where she can specialize
in Domestic Science.
For the boy who does not expect
to go to a University or normal
school, a high school education is
most practical He acquires taste
for Literature and he can read the
best books and enjoy them just be-
cause he has read this kind Of books
in High school. Then too he can
read the papers intelligently and
can converse on any subject in an in
telIigent manner. He has more in
terest in Education and he is a better
citizen because of this fact. He
learns the correct use of English and
grammar and can appear in company
without embarrassment. And last, it
gives him a broader view of things
in the world.

Jas. Sheehy, of Wilson, ran his
auto full tilt into the piling at the
west end of the bridge near R. Palm
er's last week, and only the sound
ness of said piling kept him and his
passenger, Chas. Kurchinski, of
Cady, from getting a mighty sudden
bath. A warrant was sworn out
against him for driving an auto
while intoxicated; but he was let off
with fine Of $500 and costs for
being drunk and disorderly It's
dangerous to drive an auto by booze
power, and the practice should be
discouraged. Spring Valley Sun &

LARGE BAND ON

Ellsworth is warning her Speed
Oles" against racing on the village
streets, thewarning following a neck
and-neca dash down Main street by
two local drivers. Many drivers are
inspired to these daring" sprints
through crowded thoroughfares
through the attention their commo-
ton draws, and the comments which
follow in their wake are taken by
them as compliments to their skill.
The fact of the matter is that on a
a clear straight-aWay their "a e
would appear slow, but where build
ings and traffic are close it seems
much faster, and they don't appear
to appreciate the more serious fact
that, while they are risking no dan
ger to themselves, they are taking
a long chance of striking an unwary
pedestrian, most likely of these a
child or very old person. Before
indulging in such a foolish caper as
speeding through a city or village
street, or any popular thoroughfare,
stop and consider your predicament
should you be suddenly confronted
with the fact that you had manned
or killed someone, with the only ex-
cuse that you wished to "show off. I"
Accidents happen with t e most
careful Of driving. Don't court dis
aster ruthlessly. A car, even at it's
slowest gait, cannot be stopped i'm
mediately. nor can one always tell
which way to turn out for confused
pedestrian. Remember the motto,
Safety first"

STARTING THE
RACE FAIRLY

According to an official report, the
time lost by university students
through prompt treatment of common
colds and grippe has been decreased
from about nine days in 1910 to about
two and one-half days in 1915. That
represents a great gain and alone
would be enough so justify the es-
Enlistment and maintenance of the
student medical advisers department
but that is by no means the only or the
chief gain to the students.
However mature they may consider
themselves, freshmen at the univers-
ity are seldom more than young boys
and girls. They come at an age when
they can not safely be entrusted to Sc
lect a physician wisely or exercise
proper judgment as to whether or not
an attack of illness is of such charac-
ter as to call for immediate attention
and vigorous treatment. Parents can
now feel degree of comfort concern
ing the health and physical welfare
of their children at the University of
Wisconsin that was impossible before
the service was instituted there.
Another gain has come through
the compulsory physical examin-
alton of all students. Many an early
case of tuberculosis has been discover
ed many months or even years before
it otherwise would have been and
while the disease was in an easily
durable stage. In other instances I'M
suspected heart disease has been de-
tected by these skillful diagnosticisns
and the student has been prohibited
from engaging in competitive athelet-
les that might have killed or crippled
him for life in an institution less
scrupulous in looking after the health
of the students for whom it is morally
responsible.
In this latter class of cases early
detection and proper advice is fire.
quently all that is needed to enable
the victim to SO modify his habits or
vocation in life as to insure a normal
or even an increased span of life.
1t was a wise administration which
recognized the fact that the physical
guidance OF the student body is quite
as important as the mental guidance.
Wisconsin and California Universities
lead the country in this respect.
Authorities having responsibility
for students of local primary and sec
ondary schools are providing similar
ly by employment of physicians and
nurses for health inspection and SUI
pervision. Childre-2 are getting fair
start, nowadays, and the next genera
ton ought thereby to be able to "put
it all over the present ore" Who is
it that desires less?

A young wife was troubled by her
husband who insisted on coming home
intoxicated in the wee small hours of
the morning. One night she sat up
and waited for him to make his shame
full appearance. He appeared after a
short while and entered the bedroom
carrying his shoes. His wife threw
shawl over her head and in her deep
est tones said, 81 am Satan, l am Sa-
TAM" The husband looked at her
carefully and then holding out his
hand said, "Shake old boy! married
your sister!"-Ex.
