DECREASE SHOWN

EARLY REGISTRATION AT ~"
SHOWS DROP OF ABOUT
EIGHTEEN PER CENT.
NORMAL CUT TO BE GREATER
Figures for Both Branches May Be
Changed When Young Men Begin
to Come in That Are Now De-
taned BY Farm Work.

Madison - Wisconsin state normal
schools will suffer more heavily in at.
tendance during the war than the
state university, according to early
estimates The first four days of en-
rollment at the university indicate a
possible decrease of 1873 per cent,
while returns from three normal
schools to the state board of education
indicate a cut of at least 25 per cent.
Figures from both branches may be
radically changed by late registra-
tons. b. X. Buckingham, statisucian
for the state board of education, is Of
the opinion that many young men de-
tanned by farm work will register
later While students are expected to
keep coming at the university for the
next few weeks, classes have begun,
and the bulk of registration is com
pleted. A summary of enrolment on
the last official day of registration, as
compared with the corresponding day
last year, was as follows:
Total enrolment in all departments.
1927. as compared with 4.S39 on the
corresponding day in 1916; late regis
tralion brought the total to 5000 last
year.
Returns from three state normals,
with the enrolment at the end of the
week, as compared with the same pc
riod last year, are:
Eau Claire Normal, 1S1, compared
with 1862; Stevens Point Normal, 1876,
as compared with $50; Oshkosh Nor
NAL, 1888. compared with 497. Eau
Claire, the newest of the nine nor

U. S. PRESIDENT.

Big Crowd at Racine Meeting Cheers
Teddy at Mention of Lustania
Outraee-Against Enemy
Language Newspapers.

Misunderstanding to $500 persons,
proval, Col. Roosevelt scored Senator
La Toilette for his attitude on the war.
He spoke, from the same platform
from which La Toilette has frequently
spoken, to residents of a city which
has voted for LaFollette on many oc-
casions. They appeared to be waiting
for the colonel to reach the portion
of his speech in which death with
La Follette's course. When the colonel
discussed Vallandingham, civil war
copperhead, chorus of yells went UP.
Teddy, you are all right" yelled a
man back in the hall.
The former president described the
Lusltania outrage and it's murdered
victims with deep feeling, and the
crowd responded with cries of
shame Shame" when he asserted
that Senator La Toilette, in his Min
neapolis speech, had condoned an in
fanny like that. Describing the work
and the arguments of the copperheads
of the civil war, the colonel addressed
each statement to G. A. r. man in
one Of the front seats, who nodded
verification to each declaration.
The colonel declared he wished he
could send La Toilette to the kaiser's
reichstag. Each fresh attack was the
signal for a burst Of emphatic ap-
plause.
One other point by the colonel
struck a responsive chord. That was
his statement that the United States
must have one language, which he
coupled with the assertion that he
would copy one of Germany's rules in
wartime-that newspapers should not
be published in the enemy language.
ITS the only thing they've got that's
worth copying" yelled a man in the
crowd.
At Danish Brotherhood hall. Col
Roosevelt delivered a second speech
to 5000 people in favor of general
military training. Several hundred
people gathered at both halls unable
to find entrance.
The addresses were under auspices
OF the League of Municipalities.

MAY BUILD HOSPITAL SOON
Big Waiting List May Lead to Early
Construction of New State
Tubercular Sanitorium.

Madison-That the increase in the
waiting list at the tubercular hospitals
will lead to the early construction of
the new state sanitorium in Northern
Wisconsin, is the belief of officials
here. The report of the state board of
control. on population at the different
institutions, just issued shows that
there are fortyfour on the waiting list
for the Wales sanitcrium; twenty
seven at Tomahawk Lake camp, and
thirty-nine on the waiting list of the
county sanatoria The last legislature
appropriated $4,000 for the construc-
ton of a tuberculosis hospital in
Northern Wisconsin. The increasing
waiting lists at the Wales and other
institutions suggests that the work
may be undertaken sooner than was
originally anticipated.

awkward country boy whom she de-
lighted to tease. When she left she
asked him to write in her autograph

Whittier wrote there stands as a
warning to other young ladies that she
who laughs first at seemingly dumb
countryman may be herself laughed at
