Medical Inspection and Warm
Lunches

We like to think that our beloved
Baraboo is not behind any other city
of it's size in the whole United States.
For this reason [ believe that the
two things of which I am going to
write should receive our careful con-
sideration, and that advancement at
once be made in these lines.
Why is it that BarabOO has no reg
ular medical examination in the pub
lie schools?
No one will deny that such exami-
nation is much needed, or that Bara-
boo is behind most cities of it's size,
and even some country schools, in
this matter. What is necessary to Sc
cure such a measure? If the board
of education ought to do it, then the
sentiment of the people should demand
it of the board. If a subscription pa
per should be circulated to raise the
necessary funds, then let US start the
subscription list. I for one (and I
know other parents who feel the same)
will be willing to do whatever is nee
essary to secure such regular eXami-
nations. Beyond doubt many Of the
children in our scnOO are suffering
from adenoids, enlarged tonsils, near
sightedness, etc. These children are

Teaching Sex

Should sex be taught to children?
B. S., Baraboo.
Here is an excellent answer from
the public health reports:
The propriety of giving instruction
in the physiology and pathology of sex
to young children is, to say the least,
doubtful. A judicious and tactful par
ent or teacher may at times impart
such information with benefit to a
child of known temperament, but
wholesome routine instruction by the
average grammar school teacher may
be attended by unfortunate and un-
looked for results. 1t would seem bet
ter in the case of young children to
occupy their time and attention fully
with work and play to the exclusion
of the sex idea as much as possible,
leaving special instruction upon this
matter to a later and more apprOpri-
ate period Of their development.
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1916-12-28

largely from homes where there have
never been sufficient means to secure
regular medical care, and so these
conditions are the result of ignorance.
Advice from a. good physician would
probably be needed, and the matter
would be attended to, before the health
of the child is permanently impaired,
or his intelligence dwarfed
And, again, is there any serious OBJ
lection to the serving of a warm drink
to the children of our schools who are
forced to eat cold, dry lunch at noon
A few quarts of milk could easily be
heated by the janitor, teacher, or an
older pupil, at noon, and served hot
for three or four cents a cupful to the
crowds of children who are now ''tak-
ing their lunches to schools" Dis
tances are so long in small city like
this that these children are forced to
eat their lunches at school in inclem-
ent weather, or to remain away from
school, These children are not salts
fed with dry lunch, and crave (and
eat, in many cases) bologna, candy,
sweet foods and other stuff not cal
culated to produce either brain or
muscle. Hot milk or cocoa would be
gladly received and paid for by these
hungry boys and girls. Many parents
are anxious to have something of this
sort done, and would thank anyone
who instituted it's doing. Whose busi-
ness is it to attend to this matter? If
it is mine, please tell me how to go
at it and I will do it. If it is yours,
will you please attend to it?

THOUGHT WuRLO
OWED HIM A LIVING

At Richland Center, Andrew Os-
borne, who thinks the world owes him
a living, was brought before Judge
McCorkle charged with non-support.
He has a wife and four children, whom
he fails to provide for and the mem
bers of the family are, or have been,
in very destitute circumstances be-
cause Andrew and work could not get
along. The little children often went
hungry and at last neighbors called
the attention of officers to the situa-
ton. Humane Officer Huston paid
the home a visit, and although it was
o'clock a. M, Andrew was still in
bed, no doubt taking a beauty sleep.
A warrant was gotten out and An
drew hustled down to the Judges
office. He said he would work if Civ
en- a chance. He got the chance soon
enough, as he was given a four
months sentence in the county jail.
The sheriff hired him out to Percy
Poole, who is to pay him $3.50 cord
for chOpping wood. Officers state
that if he doesn't make good at the
wood chopping they will give him a
bread-and- water diet at the Jail. The
earnings from the wood chopping are
to be turned over to Mrs. Osborne.

tOrials on Christmas spirit especially
good, and the paper was also full Of

Floyd Bailey and George Hill, sang
two numbers, Silent Night" and

TO BUILD new HOME
IN CALEDONIA

Senator George Staudenmayer will
erect a new home in Caledonia near
the site of the brick one burned a
few days ago. 1t will be equipped
with furnace heat, baths, lights, and
other modern conveniences. The
house burned was of brick and stood
quite close to the large barn. Had
the house been frame one the barn
would no doubt have gone ALSO The
new residence will be situated
farther away. The walls of the old
house still stand, according to Her
man Kasiska, who has visited the
scene. He says the men employed
on the farm lost several hundred dol
lars in money One of them attempt
ed to gain his room to secure his
casht, but was driven back by the
heat and smoke. One eye is badly in
jured by the fire and may give him
considerable trouble. Mr.. Stauden-
mayer carries liability insurance,
which protects the injury to the man
Mr.. Staudenmayer had a policy of ST.
500 on the house and $400 on the con-
tents. The loss reaches several thou
sand dollars.

TriipIets i

especially the old granny Tribune,
have been creating veritable tenn
pest in teapot over the fact that
surviving triplets" have appeared III

man of that city. They pronounce
such occurrences Exceedingly rare"
Well, now, this is making a mountain
out Of a mole hill. During the civil
war, when Baraboo was a struggling
hamlet, most of the able-bodied men
in the army and none of us one-half
as clever as we are today, there were
nearly as many triplets as single
births in this community. Look at
the Haskin boys-Abraham Lincoln,
named after the president, Gideon
Wells and Simeon Cameron, named
after two of the cabinet. And they
are all alive today. If you don't be-

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM BEING SHOT
BY An INDIAN
Miss Ida Attridge of Baraboo Has
Thrilling Experience in a
Home Near Mauston

Fred Littlegeorge, an Indian living
, near the county line il Monroe coun-
ty, was taken before Judge NJ. L. Bl'n-
nell at Mauston Wednesday, charged
with assault without regard to hui
man life.
1t appears from what evidence was
given that the Indian had had some
trouble with a son-in-law of w. A.
Fowler, who lives near Mather. About
midnight he went to the home of Mr..
Fowler and called to him to come out
as he wanted to talk to him. Fowler
went out, found the Indian was under
the influence of liquor, and told him
to go to his camp, which was near by.
But the Indian persisted in arguing
the question and finally made a rush
at Fowler. The latter backed toward
the house, grabbed a pitchfork and
struck the Indian over the head When
the Indian put his hand to his head
and found that he was bleeding, he
said he would get his gun and shoot
Fowler.
The Indian started for his camp and
Fowler returned to the house. Soon
after there was yelling and a disturb
ance in the camp Mrs. Fowler and a
lady friend, Miss Ida Attridge of Bar
aboo, got up, the latter going to the
window from which Fowler had first
talked to the Indian Miss AttrlGgS
reached up and put the window down
and as she did so she saw the Indian
come out of the woods. About this
time the Indian fired two shots in
quick succession, one of the bullets
entering the house about foot over
the head of Miss Attridge and pass
ing through two partitions. The In
dian then fired the third time and re-
turned to his camp.
No evidence was introduced by the
defendant and he was bound over to
the circuit court, his bond being fixed
at $500, which it is expected he can
furnish.
Miss Attridge was summoned from
Baraboo to Mauston to testify in the
case. The shooting happened some
time ago.
