Government Sends Man to
Investigate AS to Need of
More Help and New
Buildings for Kenosha.
MAY Be BUSY SIX WEEKS

An official Of the postofice depart
ment came to Kenosha on Sunday
night to diagnose the needs of the
Kenosha postofice. He is G. B. Webb,
one Of the inspectors Of the federal
department and he will probably be
busy in Kenosha for the next month or
six weeks. Inspector Webb comes with
view Of taking up the problem of
increasing the clerk and carrier force
at the Kenosha Office and not to make
any plans for the proposed addition.
1t is probable that his report will go a
long way toward governing the recon-
mendation to be made by the depart
ment to congress in connection with
the demand of Kenosha for the new
building. During the next six weeks
all mails handled in Kenosha will be
carefully weighed and counted in or
der to see just what work is being de-
manded of the carriers working out Of
the Office. The routes will be carefully
examined and it is probable that In
spector Webb will make some provi-
sion for a complete re-districting of
the carrier routes
Tt is probable that Inspector Webb
will also give some time to looking
into complaints coming from Kenosha
against the new rural routes On Sat-
urday a civil service examination was
held at the College of Commerce for
men who desire appointments as rural
mail carriers. Seventeen men took the
examination. Three of the carriers
working out Of Kenosha recently filed
their designations with the postmaster
and these places are to be filed from
the Lists of successful candidates at
the examination ON Saturday. It will
probably be thirty days before the re-
port of the examination is given out.
Postmaster German has sent letters
urging the building of an addition to
the Kenosha postofice to many of the
Wisconsin representatives in the SEN
ate and in the lower house and he has
received several replies to these letters
giving assurance that the demand of
Kenosha will have every possible con-
sideration. As yet no formal bill has
been introduced in congress to secure
the appropriation for the proposed adj
dition, but it is thought that the bill
will be presented in the house by Con-
gresham Cooper and that Senator
Husting will father" it in the
senate.

JOINS MASSACHUSETTS LIFE.
James Bailey, Well Known to Insur-
ance of Kenosha, Becomes
a District Agent,

Announcement was made today that
James Bailey, well known to the life
insurance business in Kenosha, has
been named as district manager for
the Massachusetts, Mutual Life Insur-
ance company, one of the oldest and
best known of the eastern old line
companies. His territory will include
all of Kenosha county and he has
taken up the duties of the new agency.
Mr. Bailey has won his spurs as an in
surance man in Kenosha through fifteen
years connection with the Northwest
ern Mutual Life Insurance company of
Milwaukee. He is one of the real in
surance experts of the city and has
studied out all plans of insurance until
he has attracted attention of the big
eastern company. He has been ere
dited with writing several long lines
of insurance for Kenosha men. 1t is
certain that his connection with the
big eastern company will prove a sue
cessful business venture.

pr0phesied will be the most largely at

the list of those who will conduct the
convention embraces the names of so
many we'll known women in every walk

now and will continue to be busy until
convention time in making necessary
preparations for the reception of their

The Rev. Peter Z. Stair Is of
Opinion Sunday Wear
Is UncOnducive to
Sacred Study.
LIKES GARY SCHOOL SYSTEM

"The strongest argument in favor of
been considered by the Kenosha school,
board on several occasions, said the
Rev. Peter F. Stair, who visited Gary
to study the system last week, in a talk
Sunday night to his congregation in
the Park Avenue Methodist church,
lis that it makes the study Of religion
a week day study, and to study religion
in everyday life will make it practiced
in everyday life.
Gin this system religion is subject
of education related to the balance of
the child IS education-a valid and vital
part. 1t removes religion from the ex-
elusive realm of Sunday and makes it
an everyday affair as it should be. The
church school has the atmosphere of
the day school and it's methods are the
same The child comes from the pub
lie school and returns to it. He is at
school in the church in his school
clothes.
F'The great disadvantage of Sunday
school is in the fact that the child
comes in his Sunday clothes. Clothes
one wears have distinct affect upon
the attitude of mind
"From the standpoint Of the church
an unparalleled opportunity presents
itself and it is up to the church to make
good"
Mr.. Stair said that as he sees the
system there is absolute enforcement
of school and religion. But the child
is given two hours in its school day of
from 8:15 to SIS o'clock to obey the
behest Of its parents as to being in the
home or attending a religious school to
be appointed by the parents. Religious
classes, he says, are not part of the
school system.
He said the school is a joyous place
and that every pupil is filed with en-
thusiasm and that work is made play
because it is made interesting. Beside
the ordinary school classes Mr.. Stair
visited classes in domestic sciences,
electricity, drafting, plumbing, foundry
methods, printing, carpentry, CONNER
ciaI chemistry and other commercial
work
The average class group is twenty
pupils. The periods are of ninety min
utes duration.
Mr.. Stair believes that calumnious re-
ports against the system have been set
afioat by fanatical Protestants but in his
opinion Protestants are, given an even
chance with Catholics and it is merely
a matter of whether the Protestant
churches take advantage of the oppor-
tunities offered or do not, to the extent
which the Catholic churches do, and If
they do not, Mr.. Stair believes that
there is no reflection against the sys-
tenn but against the churches who fail
to make use of the opportunity offered.
