About u o'clock on Tuesday night,
an alarm Of fire was given, which, on
investigation was found to be the
dwelling house of Mr.. George =
wards, situated on the Two Rivers
road, in the town of Manitowoc. The
building was, with its contents entirely
consumed, nothing of the slightest
value being saved, the inmates bare y
escaping with their lives, having on
nothing but their night clothes. The
fire is supposed to be the act of an IN
cendiary.
We take this as a fitting occasion to
bring to the attention of the city auth
critics the necessity of a fire alarm
bell of sufficient power TO be heard at
least during the night. The only
alarm given was that of the bell on the
old Badger Engine house, and, though
by the purchase Of steam fire engine,
and reservoirs Of water, our city is
vel. provided for in case of fire, they
would prove OF but little use If good
alarm is not given when the necessity
Tor their services arise. An alarm OF
fire was given on Saturday evening
last, about i O'Clock, which was occas-
ioned by the burning out of chimney,
and though the engine bell was rung
for nearly ten minutes it was not
heard on the south side Of the river.
Those who trip the light fantastic
toe will be glad to learn that those
having the matter in charge have made
arrangements with MIR. Windiate to
have their Christmas party at the
Windiate House, on Christmas night,
December 25th, 1872, and we should
Judge from what we have heard that
tie would be an unusually large at
tendance, as ali seems to be spotling
for dance, and seem to be making the
necessary Arrangement of music &c, to
celebrate Christmas right merrily.
The annual election for three dir
ectors will take place in the Library
room, on Wednesday evening, January
Sth, 1873 at o'clock. Three directors
are required to be elected to take the
place OF Jonah Richards. .. II. Martin
and Henry Sibree, whose term of of
flee expires on that day. The annual
meeting Of the society takes place at
the same time and place, for the pur-
pose OF receiving Inc reports of the
President and Treasurer and to Trans
act such business as may come before
the meeting, Every member of the
association and every one who feels an
interest in the association is request

These Laws" This placard was an
attempt to present in brief space a

taken in Wisconsin. A close study
Of it would probably give rise to the
question whether what Wisconsin
needs at the present time IS larger
mass Of new educational legislation
or perfecting and making effective
of the legislation already secured.
These are some Of the laws which

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

The joint meeting Of the teachers OF
the Southern and Northwestern Sec
tion was held at the Training School
last Saturday. Mr.. Dalzell of Steveus
Point was present in place of Mr.,
Neale who was under quarantine. Mr..
Dalzell gave three talks, two on the
recitation, and one on Arithmetic. A
large number of teachers were present.
Several of those who should have been
present all day were present but a
half day. Several teachers from other
sections were present either the entire
or part Of the day.
Miss Fuller of Maple Crest San.tori-
um was present and gave talk on
general health of pupils and teachers.
She also spoke ON sanitary conditions
OF schools. Miss Fuller is willing to
60 but occasionally to visit schools and
talk to the pupils. She will also
give talks at evening programs if too
many demands are not made upon her.
In this way we might say That the
county really has school nurse.
Miss Nelson of the Training School
conducted the singing and opening ex-
ercises. The Training school pupils
also gave song and folk dance
The following teachers were present.

even though not hostile to others.
1t is easily possible to find among
the parents whose children attend
the public schools men and women
who are capable of handling the
business and financial end of the job
as well as the educatiOnal-but all
taxpayers ought to be well protected
by school board members who are
keenly interested in the public
schools because their children attend
them. It isn't a question of citizen
ship or of patTiOtism-it is a question
of policy.
A man whose children don't attend
the public schools might be as pa
tTiOtic as one whose children do at
tend. In fact, he might be quicker to
enlist, to shoulder a gun and fight for
his country. 1t all depends upon the
man-nOt upon his creed.
Undoubtedly there have been ex-
Ceuent members Of the school board
whose children were educated else
where, but it was always possible to
find others at least equally as excel
lent whose children did attend the
public schools. And, when that is
true, it is better for all concerned to
prefer those whose interest in the
public school system is direct, per-
sOnal and intimate.

with a statement I made to the effect
that members of the school board
should be parents whose children
were being educated in the public
schools. He says:
Il may use the public baths if l
feel so disposed, but if don't care
to patronize them it doesn't mean
that I am going dirty or lacking
patriotism. Shall l be refused a seat
in the city council for that reason?

and the United States are the great

am of the opinion that most
of the criticism against private and
parOchial schools is not an honest
criticism, but prompted by religious
intolerance and bigOtry, and general
ly echoed by dyspeptic-lOOking par

do not make the attendance Of
their children at the public schools a

whether they be private or parOchiaI

put a parent on the school board
whose children were educated at
home by private tutors.
AS a taxpayer one citizen has as
much right to hold Office on the
school board as another. The Cath
ole or Lutheran parent, who for rea-
sons entirely satisfactory to himself,
sends his children to the parochial
schools managed by his church, is
wholly within his rights as a citizen.
But he is naturally most interested
