CHILDREN AND THE COMMUNITY
INSTITUTE

What child does not love to sing, play
games, see moving pictures, and hear
interesting storiesa IF there is one such,
that child will not be interested in the
Community Institute that will soon be
held. All the others will be anxious
for the institute days to come as soon
as they learn what the institute has In
store for them.
When the Extension Division profess
sors at Madison planned the Community
Institute, they said: GA community in.
cludes I'll the persons who mingle to-
gether in one locality. Children and
young persons are as important as any
other class. There ~,ust be some inter-
esting, instructive and enjoyable exer-
cises for them" As result, they de-
cided that there should be music, games
and talks in all the schools, from the
first grade to the high school, and gen.
eral meeting for all the school pupils at
400 o'clock in the afternoon. At this
general meeting it:was decided that in
structive moving pictures should be-
shown in addition to the other exercises.
When this plan was presented to the
persons who decided to have a Com
munity Institute in this town, they
said: "Surel We are willing to bear
our part of the expense of having such
instruction and entertainment for the
children and youth" When the school
authorities and teachers were consulted,
they also gave their enthusiastic APP
prevail Of the plan.
AS a result the business men, the
teachers, and the Extension Division Of
the State University are working to-
gether to make the Community Institute
a pleasant and helpful occasion for the
pupils in the schools. Sometime those
who are now young are going to carry
on all the affairs in this community.
Those who are now in the positions of
trust are anxious that the future bust
ness men, mechanics, housewives, farm
ers. etc., shall be strong and intelligent
that this community shall be more pros
porous, happy and good than it ewer has
been in the past.
Wherever the Institutes are conducted
the children g meetings are among the
most ENJOYABLE sessions held. It is a
spIndid thing that this diversion, which
Is as educational as it is pleasant, can
Be offered to the youth in the midst of
their long sehool-year.

8 CHEAT DEATH AT
RAIL CROSSING
North Bound Passenger Train Strikes
Automobile at Fairfield Street
Crossing Saturday Afternoon.

Three men cheated death in sensa-
tional manner at the Fairfield street
crossing of the Chicago and North
Western Railway on Saturday after
noon when an automobile driven by
Charles Maslowski, was struck by a
north bound passenger train running at
a high rate of speed. Maslowski is a
jitney driver and he had two Polish
friends with him in the car. He was
driving east and just as the automo-
bile, a Jeffrey Sedan, had reached the
side Of the west track he killed his
engine. The train was within few
feet of the automobile at the time and
there was no chance for the three men
to leap from the car. The crash came
second later and the train smashed
the automobile into mass Of twisted
steel and splintered wood. The three
men in the automobile miraculously
escaped death. They. were hurled with
the top Of the automobile into the
ditch at the side of the railway and
when aid reached them it was found
that not one Of them had been seriously
injured. Maslowski had one of his
arms badly lacerated with portions of
the glass Of the covering of the car.
His two passengers who hurried away
without giving their names, were de-
clared to have escaped without injury.
Police Officer Charles Rock, who was
a passenger on the train, aided in
picking up the men and had them sent
to their homes. The automobile, a COM
plete wreck, was brought into the Stahl
garage on Park avenue. Maslowski
declared that he would have had plenty
Of time to get across the track
had he not failed in the proper opera
tion of the car.

Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, sup

Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, superin-
tendent of schools, and G. N. Tremper,
principal of the Kenosha High School,
returned yesterday from week in
Kansas City where they attended the
conference of the National Education
Association. Many new suggestions
were received, some of which viii be
used in the conduct of the Kenosha
schools, later. Comparison of the Ke-
nosha systems with others represented
there, showed the Kenosha schools to
be near the front in efficiency and gen
eral excellence.

many years and was widely known
among the Danish born residents of
the city. His widow and one son sur
vive him.

Deep mystery surrounds the cracking
of the safe in the store of the Hiram
J. Smith Company on West Market
street near the North Western tracks.
It was opened supposedly by profess
sional crooks some time Wednesday
night and report of the robbery was
made to the police Office on Thursday
afternoon.
Three arrests have been made in con-
nection with the case, but Chief of
Police O'Hare declared today that he
had not secured evidence which would
warrant the holding of any of the men
suspected of the crime.
The report from the Racine owners
of the store showed that loot to the
value of $648 was taken. It was made
up entirely of jewelry and watches and
the catalogue of it reads like an adver-
tising catalogue of big jewelry house.
In the list was watches and rings, pins
and chains and lot of other gem set
pieces of jewelry.
The robbery of the safe was discov-
cred by the local manager on Thursday
morning and it was reported to the
home offices of the company in Racine
and men were sent to Kenosha to make
an investigation. It was found that
the place had been entered from a rear
window which was found open. The
safe, an old fashioned one, had been
locked with paddock and this had
been broken off evidently with blow
from a sledge hammer The jewelry
from the cases in the store had been

NO PETITIONS ARE FILED
State Superintendent May Be Called
Upon Under the Law to Name Direc-
tor Of the County's Rural System of
Education After July First.

The high cost Of living and the low
rate of pay has lost to Kenosha county
one Of its most efficient officials. John
J. Kerwin, who has been at the head
of the rural school system of the coun-
ty for many years and who has made
an excellent county superintendent,
id not file petitions for reelection as
required by law on Saturday evening.
He not only filed no papers, but he
notified the county clerk that he was
through with the Office at the expira-
tion Of his term ON the first of next
July.
'FThe pay for the work demanded
is so small as to make it impossible
for me to live on it, said Mr.. Kerwin
to the county clerk. "I have not for
gotten to file petitions and am not q
candidate for reelection. I have tried
to handle the business of the schools
of the county on the low salary but
the time has come when it is no longer
possible and at the end of my term I
shall retire and go into some other
line of work. "
The announcement Of the retirement
of Mr.. Kerwin came like q bolt from
a clear sky. Every two years he has
been reelected to the Office and in
most Of his campaigns he has been I'M
opposed. No other candidates filed
petitions on Saturday and while the
county clerk declared that he would
receive petitions if they were fled to-
day. he also asserted that he had not
been advised that any other man would
seek the Office The name of Lewis
NORM, the county supervisor Of teach
ers, has been mentioned in connection
with the Office, but he declared on Sat
urday that the time was too. short for
him to get out petitions and have them
properly signed and filed with the coun-
ty clerk. He intimated that he was
not overly interested in the office at
the present salary.
Under the law the county superin-
tendent continues to hold his Office I'M
til his successor is elected and quail
fees and County Superintendent Ker-
win might be retained in office after
the first of July if he showed a will
lingness to continue the duties Of the
Office. If he persists in declining the
Office, it will be necessary for the state
superintendent of schools to name his
4 successor.
Supt. Kerwin has come to be some
thing Of tradition in connection with
the schools in Kenosha county. He
has been one of the most advanced men
in the state in dealing with the rural
problem and under his direction it is
declared that the schools of this county
compare favorably with those of other
counties in the state. The superin-
tendent has been constantly forced to
meet the question of lack of funds for
The management of the schools in many
districts and he had become discour-
aged in his work on this account. Tt
is declared that a united effort will be
made throughout the county to have
Mr.. Kerwin remain in the work and it
is possible that an effort will be made
to have the county board vote a salary
for the Office commensurate with the
work required of the county superin-
tendent

when the interest is paid, a small

are so arranged that when the last
