seventy enrolled reported for exam
ination and of this number about
twenty-five passed Some were re-

a later examination. Some were too
tall and some too heavy to meet the
exacting requirements Of the cavalry

CAVALRY TROOP HERE WILL
SUPPLY RUSK COUNTYS
QUOTA
ONLY SINGLE MEN NOW DESIRED
A. A. Hadden Urges Citizens Not
to Discourage Enlistment

A. A. Hadden, former publisher of
the News-Budget, has written the
following article on the subject of
the cavalry troop being organized
here:
AS apparently war with Germany
becomes each day more inevitable,
the task of recruiting a troop of
cavalry in Ladysmith assumes a
different phase from that present
ed at the outset of the project
three weeks ago. Of course to the
thinking man it always appeared as
a part of the great plan for national
defense, but to some unthinking re-
cruits it perhaps seemed only a
means of recreation and excitement.
If war is declared a very large
number of volunteers will be called.
Each state viii be required to fur
do not volunteer in sufficient num-
bers to make up this quota it will
be necessary to draft men into the
service. In that case each county
must furnish its quota All able
bodied men Of military age from all
walks of life would be liable to be
drawn for service, the only alterna-
tive being to secure a substitute.
With this condition more than a
mere possibility the importance OF
Ladysmith's embryo cavalry troop
becomes more apparent If it can
be recruited to the war strength OF
105 from within the confines OF
Rusk county, we would be practical
ly insured against draft.
Of course volunteers could be en-
listed and assigned here and there
to the various arms of the service
to make up this county's quota, but
it makes a vast difference to the
boys at the front as we'll as rela-
tives at home, to say nothing OF
the effect on the community at large
whether our boys enlist in one or
Sdu1ZdlIOu dI6 SCoCtClS
It is not advisable that married
men, whose families would be wholly
dependent upon the SIS or $40 a
month they might draw, should en-
list and put an additional burden
upon relatives or the county; nei-
Their should it be expected that
business man or farmer should quit
his vocation in order to enlist
that would not be economy for the
individual nor the community
But there are plenty of young
men who can and are willing to
respond to their country's call if
given proper encouragement. In
volunteering they are protecting
other men Of their county from the
liability of being drafted. By or
der of Governor Philip, who is
Commander-in-C Chief Of the Wiscon-
sin National Guard, recruits be-
tween the ages of Is and 81 are
required to secure parents permis-
sion to enlist. If parents Of minors
withhold permission the liability to
draft is correspondingly increased
and if a minor is drafted no parents
permission will be required.
So it becomes apparent that the
boy who enlists in this cavalry
troop if called into active service
becomes your substitute
if you are a man Of military age
he stands between you and the
draft. Please regard him as such
not then but now.

so ) : 8 ) . &

School officers would do we'll te
give their schools vacation of one
| week, and a large number have al
ready decided upon doing so. From
January to the last Of May is toe
long a time for children to attend
continuously; they get tired and in
terest flags. The teachers also need
the weeks rest, when all will re-
turn to their work refreshed. and
will take hold Of the work with ear
nestness. The schools are for the
children, and it is but proper that
their best interests should receive
the first consideration.
The time has arrived for school
boards to be selecting their teach
ers for next year. They have a
legal right to contract with legal
ly qualified teachers without wait
ing for the annual meeting in July.
1t is then too late for securing the
strong and successful teachers, and
it is that class Of teachers each
school needs, and should secure.
The strong teachers command bet
ter salaries, and are, Of course, en-
titled to better wages because of
their proven success.
The teacher who has shown by
her previous work and department
that her heart is in the work; that
the children; strives to make her
self useful and secures the co-opera-
ton of the patrons Of the district;
that is interested in whatever con-
tributes to the good Of the district;
toward the building up Of good citi-
zenship and character among her
pupils, is a blessing to those with
whom she comes in contact. She
deserves good compensation. and
rarely has difficulty in getting it.
Unfortunately now and then a
teacher succeeds in embroiling both
her neigbhorhood and her school by
lack of tact, and by indiscretion.
They unwisely antagonize parents
and school officers, and by indiffer-
ence and neglect of pupils or the
school, remain but a year, Or a part
around from year to year.
We have listed the teachers Of the
county according to their experience
and success, and upon application
from school officers will be pleased
to assist them in fitting the right
teacher in the right place. Call at
the office, or write the superintend-
ent your needs, and the salary you
will pay for just the teacher you
want, and we will do our best to
please you and your people.
Teachers will keep in mind the
dates for diploma examinations,
which are for eight month schools,
April 10, 20; for the others, May
II, IS. The passing standings are
for grammar, geography and civics
so per cent; for all other subjects
90 per cent. Eighth grade pupils
should be very attentive TO their
work from now on.
Envelopes containing qiestions
will be sent in time, and must not
be opened until the class is seated
for work. Pupils lovide themselves
with legal cap pa ,4r, pens and ink.
