THE MINERAL POINT
HIGH SCHOOL
uluITIIIQIIIIuIIIIIIlIuIUInuIInnIInHIIlM lM

The school year opened last week
with a good enrolment in all depart
ments. With additional help in the
teaching force and fewer number of
pupils to each teacher, and by reor-
ganization of the work, much more
efficient work is possible. The compile
ton of the ventilation spstem in the
high school building will make big
improvement in working conditions.
While the enrolment in the high
school is slightly under the opening en-
rollment of last year, it is found that
all who graduated from the city eighth
grade and all who were in the Fresh
men, Sophomore, and Junior classes at
the close of the year last spring, with
the exception of seven pupils have en-
tered the high school for another year s
work. Three of the seven mentioned
will be in school in other places. The
Senior class this year is not SO large as
last years class. A number of students
are taking postgraduate work.
There has been large number OF
visitors during the past week; among
them are Isabel Ellery, Florence Ross,
Loretta Huxtable, Herman Gilman,
Charles Morgan, and Dorcas Jacka all
of the class OF 1917, Marion Penhallegon
and Elizabeth Davies Of the class of
1916, Mrs Molitor and Miss Winslow,
former teachers, Mabel Dunwiddie of
GAINESVILLE and Marion Bouquard of
Marietta, Ohio.
Quite a number of last years grad
yates plan to enter college this fall.
ALI Seniors submitted to an examin-
alton in English Monday, to see whether
they could meet the standards in writ
ten work required of all graduates here
after. All who could not meet the re-
.quirements will take English this year
At the Friday assembly Mr. Rood
spoke of the present and the coming
demand for trained young men and OF
the necessity of securing as broad an
education as possible. The young man
in these days has a wonderful oppor
tunity for service.
The high school orchestra rehearsed
on Monday evening. Nearly twenty
reported for work and there is bright
prospect for a good orchestra. Miss
LeTendre is the director.

Madison Teachers Get Raise.

Rural school teachers in WiscOn-
son are no longer compelled to board
out their salaries, getting in addition
just enough money to pay their fare
home at the end of the term. Teach
ers holding third grade certificates
now are fewer. In their stead has
come the new rural instructor, who is
thoroughly efficient, and whose salary
averages better than $50 month.

Line ROADS
important Hearing at DodgeviIIe
Last Saturday

Pursuant to published notice meet
ing was held at Dodgeville last Satur-
day afternoon to hear suggestions on
the federal and state trunk lines of
highway to run through Iowa county,
and to connect up with other roads in
adjacent counties.
There were present from the state de-
partment of highways, J. F. Donaghy
and F. M. Balsley of Madison; repre-
senting the county were, O. K. STEM
seth, R. G.. White and George Billings,
who are the highway committee of the
county board; and also other super
visors and private citizens from differ
ent parts of the county.
The meeting was held in the court
room, where was displayed large map
showing the lines projected through the
county, and their connections.
One line naturally runs along the
Military ridge from old West Blue
Mounds and Barneveld on the east to
Montfort junction on the west; and
from there to Lancaster. This line will
run south of the Northwestern railway,
all the way from Dodgeville to Madi-
son, thereby cutting out all of the
numerous grade crossings, which are
grade crossings, which are now great
source of danger.
Another line of the great system
comes from the northern part of the
state southwardly through Spring
Green, Dodgeville, Mineral Point and
Darlington.
The trunk line also runs from Miner
al Point southwesterly over the old
Galena road to Belmont, Platteville and
Dubuque.
Mr. Donaghy, experienced and able
road builder, displayed the maps and
explained to large and attentive au
dience federal and state laws under
which the great trunk lines will be
constructed.
He had no set speech; but, better
yet, he spoke as man who had grown
up with his subject and thoroughly
understood it, He explained it in a
very practical way; and all present left
the court house much better informed
than when they came to the meeting.
Mr. Donaghy also stated that in coun
ties where it was hard to determine the
routes which would give the best public
service, the members of the special leg
islative committee to help execute the
trunk line highway laws were present
at hearings; but that the matter Of
routing Iowa county seemed SO abso
lutely plain that they did not deem
their presence necessary; and SO had
left the matter in charge of Mr. Balsley
and himself.
Maps of these trunk line highways
will be prepared and together other
matter relating thereto will be pub
lished in the newspapers of the county.
The building of the great federal
trunk line highways is by far the most
important industrial and commercial
undertaking of this generation. For
the building of the five thousand miles
in Wisconsin $2,OOO,OOO of federal aid
will be available and $2,O00,000 will be
raised by the state; to which will be
added third from automobile license
fees and county appropriations.
The work of building these trunk
lines will be undertaken with all con-
venient speed. Locally, to tell of their
projected construction, is the best piece
of news The Iowa County Democrat
has ever been able to carry to its
raadarS

BIG CROP OF SPRING WHEAT

William Stude tells the printer that
he threshed for his son Nicholas on the
Wallis farm, south of town, wheat
from six acres which yielded 35S bush
els. The yield is so far beyond the re-
cord that the printer asked him to re-
peat the story, which he did and SOL
emily declares that it is the truth.
There is surely some harvest this year.
