SWAPPING HORSES

We are told that swapping horses
In the middle of the stream
Shows painful lack of wisdom
And is folly's idle dream.
But suppose your horse is balky
And you have heavy load
And your wife and "kids" are waiting
Unprotected down the road
Or suppose the banks are slippery
And the stream is over-fulL
And your horse shows by his temper
That he's "too proud to pull; y,
And a band Of untamed "greasers'
Are camping somewhere near.
While the famished wolves are bowling
Bold defiance in your rear.
Or suppose your proper roadway
Lay above where bridge piers CLEAN
And your frisky, headstrong stallion
Had sidestepped into the stream
Or suppose the horse in question
Was a mule, or something worse,
And had kicked the hghspeed lever
Over backward in reverse.
And you saw a chance by trading
To acquire a trusty nag,
would bet my bottom dollar
You'd not spring that musty gag"
Then don't let party slogan
Echoed from croaker's throat
Stir the mud, sir, in your think-tank
And prevent an honest vote

SOLDIERS FAMILIES IN WANT.

The association Of former nationa
guard officers organized to solicit aid
for the needy families of the local
soldiers now in Texas with the second
Wisconsin regiment report discourage
ingly SD all total of voluntary contrbu-
tons. The officers say that they know
they could go out and by personal soli-
citations secure reasonable fund but
they have been hoping that their
published request of last week would
impel patriotic citizens TO contribute
voluntarily. They desire to avoid
any appearance of urging. There are
only three families known to need as
sistance and it does seem as if Manito-
woo county ought to be able to care
for them in comfort while the bread
winners are away in the nations SER
vice without recourse to the poor laws
of personal opportunities. Send dona-
tions to the East Wisconsin Trustee
company.

STIR IN CITY DEPARTMENTS.

There was quite huh bub in the
City hall circles last week over two re-
solutions adopted by the city board of
police and fire commissioners. The
board seemed to be aware that their
authority does not extend to detailing
the work Of the departments and so
their ideas were expressed in the form
Of suggestions. One addressed to the
fire chief was to the effect that failure
to test the city fire alarm system at
least quarterly would disclose "inetlic-
lent management,
The other addressed to the police
chief suggested" that giving one pa
trolman all day work and the others
all night work was favortism that
would not be tolerated unless neces-
sary.
The fire chief says that the board has
no Jurisdiction Of the matter they ad-
vised him upon and that the system is
tested oftener than every three months.
The police resolution was aimed at
patrolman Dueno. He has been on the
force y years and he promptly declared

til the city council meets.

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

SCHOOLS TODAY & YESTERDAY.
Our schools today are so different
from those of generation or two ago
that parents often doubt the capacity
OF the present schools to educate the
children as we'll as the schools in form
er days were able to. The schools to-
day have greater variety of studies.
Many branches are taught today which
we're not taught formerly, such as do
mestic science, manual arts, commerce
and agriculture. Many parents,
therefore, feel that the older funda
mental studies have been neglected
and that their children cannot read,
write, spell and figure as we'll as they
themselves as pupils could.
This attitude is perhaps part of the
tendency to praise 1.-The good old days"
AS matter of fact, recent ivnestiga-
tions have shown that the pupils in the
schools today do as we'll and in many
instances better than the pupils Of a
former generation even in the tradi-
tional fundamental studies. A set of
examination questions and papers writ
ten by pupils in 1916 in Springfield,
Mass, was found in the attic of one OF
the school buildings. The eXamina-
ton covered spelling, geography,
arithmetic and writing. The same
examination was given in 1906 to pu-
pills OF corresponding age and grade in
Springfield The pupils in 1906 did on
the average eleven per cent better in
spelling, thirtysiX per cent better in
arithmetic, thirteen per cent better in
geography, and noticeably better in
writing than the pupils in 1916 SINH
lar tests have been made in other
parts of the country with the same
results.
The new studies which have enrich
ed our schools today have, therefore,
not interfered in the least with the ELI
cheney in the older studies.
