JACK BEATON IN COUNTY JAIL

Jack Beaton, the Industrial Work
ers of the World organizer, who some
weeks ago is said to have created
quite a disturbance in the vicinity OF
Virginia, Mimi, was arrested in Park
Falls Monday, charged with carrying
a concealed weapon. He was brought
to this city on the evening train and
placed in the county Jail for safe
keeping.
Wednesday morning Sheriff Bey
took the I. w. w. organizer to Park
Falls for trial before Justice McGre-
gor in police court. Beaton was
found guilty and sentenced to six
months Imprisonment in the county
Jail. Beaton says he intends to ap-
peal the case.
There are now a number Of the l..
w. W. members in the vicinity Of
Park Falls, but no trouble Of a seri-
Gus nature is looked for, as agitators
found in the camps will be disposed
of at once by foremen, it is believed.
The organization is not sufficiently
strong in northern Wisconsin to cause
any alarm. In and around Phillips
there have been a few l. w. w. men
this winter, but they are few and far
between. Phillips Bee.

TIE "OLp HOME SINGERS"

Closing with a magnificent rendi-
iton Of Home Sweet Home" the
the Old Home Singers gave to Gaines
vile Last evening one of the greatest
concerts ever witnessed-great by
reason of the fact that the songs
sung, and the costumes worn de-
picted the Olden Times
The house was filled, and the en-
thusiasm with which the concert IVES
received shows very plainly that the
Olden Songs still live-and always
will live. They will occupy a place
peculiarly their own with us all.
They will bring back the memories
of the past as nothing else ever will,
and the Old Home Singers, a quartet
comprised of two superb male and
female voices will have played its
part insofar as Gainesville's memory
of the Old Songs is concerned

) PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES
3 3 8 3 3 5 3 3 . : . 8 . 8

Don't forget the athletic meet OF
the fourth, fifth and sixth grades
tonight.
The highschool basketball team
plays one of the big games of its
schedule tonight at Rice Lake. A
return game will be played here later
in the season.
Aside from the students who with
drew to enter other schools, there
were only three Withdrawals in the
highschool during the entire first
semester. This is an unusually fine
record.
The school attendance in the three
buildings has been very irregular
since the holidays due to the many
cases of grippe and other diseases.
This is a serious handicap to the
most effective work being done.
Report cards will be issued next
Wednesday noon in all grades and
this time show the records for the
first half of the year, it is hoped that
parents will give them more than the
customary consideration.
An orchestra Of about ten pieces
has been organized by the pupils Of
the junior high school. Prof. Reichl
is acting as director. The school is
looking forward to some fine results.
The movement is surely a worthy one
and deserves every encouragement.
The high school literary societies
held their regular meetings last Fri
day afternoon. Some very good pro
grams were given. New officers were
elected for the next several meetings.
New presidents include Arthur
Wright, Carl Volkman and Austin
Lutter.
The basketball game last Friday
night resulted in an easy victory for
the local boys. Ten minutes after the
first half opened, the score was 26-2
in our favor Coach Woodwork then
signalled for a let-up, and during the
rest of the game the boys took mat
ters rather easily The final score
was 53-17. While the work Of our
forwards was the most spectacular
credit for the victory should go to
the entire team The BlComer boys
are a ge4tlemanly lot Of players and
were a credit to their city and their
school. They are coached by Frank
Fellows, a former student of Supt
Rahr at Lodi. The local organization
of boy scouts sent their basketball
team against an Apollonia team in
a preliminary game, but the visitors
proved themselves too strong.
Now that the first semester has
passed, we may safely turn with
every good prospect toward the sac-
ond half of the year. The second SEM
ester should naturally be an improve
ment upon the first, successful as the
first may have been. Parents Of high
school students and upper grade pu-
pills can contribute a great deal to
the anticipated success by arranging
for and insisting upon quiet periods
of study every evening when Interrupt
tions from concentrated thoughts and
efforts will not be frequent if at all
No pupil can afford to miss one even
ing in using this period to the very
best possible advantage.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES
3 ) : =


Last Saturday afternoon the Lady
smith Cooperative creamery CO. he'd
it's annual meeting in the Agricul
ture room of the Training School
This school was very glad to have
this cooperative business use the
building. 1t is essentially a farmers
organization. This school is run pri-
marily for the benefit of the farmers
Of this county. The building is there
fore always at their service, in fact,
it is their school in their own build
ing. By having their meetings here,
There is another reason why we
are glad to have this room used by
this organization at this time. The
meeting practically inaugurated the
Boys Short Course in agriculture,
the first classes Of which were or
ganized Monday, January IS. A full
report of this course will be given
next week
Teachers are urged to send to The
Bureau of Education, washington, ID.
c. for the following bulletins: Bull.
AZ: 1916 Minimum school Term Reg
ulations; Bull. II: 1916 Wisconsin
County Training Schools for Teach
ers in Rural schools. Both Of these
bulletins are worth while your read
ing and study; they are highly sug-
gestive.
U. S. Commissioner of Education
c.. P. Claxton said recently. "a six
months term of school with pro-
fessional trained teacher at a salary
of $1OO per month is longer term
and better and cheaper school than
a twelve months term with a teach
er of poor scholarship and no profess
sional training at a salary of $50 a
month" School Boards and teachers
can find food for profitable thought
in these words
The second semester begins Mon
day, January 20. New classes will
be organized in many subjects, max
ing this an excellent time for new
students who may wish to begin
preparations for teaching. Governor
Philip in his message to the Legis-
lative recOmends that after 1920. no
one be permitted to teach who has
not a training at least as high as is
represented by High School gradua-
ton. This will make the present
high qualifications still higher. Grad
uation from this school is a higher
qualification than is that from High
School. Prospective teachers are
urged to finish High School before
coming to this school, if possible. If
this cannot be done, you may enter
Training School anyway, but it will
take you longer to finish and you
will not be as we'll prepared.
Miss Violet Stewart of Bruce fin
ishes the course at the end of the
first semester We hope that she
may have the opportunity Of step
ping from this school into another,
but as a teacher. Our good wishes
go with her.
A joint convention of County
Superintendents and Training School
Principals will be held at Madison
January 80 to February 2. An i'm
portant program has been outlined
There seems to be very little theo-
riZing in it; most of the topics sound
very practical. The Legislature be-
ing in session, needed legislation will
undoubtedly be discussed. AS Mr.
Virbahn used to say, ''There is lob
bying in every occupation except in
teaching"
