live business men s organization, met
in the Kiwanis room at the Hotel
Kenosha, tuesday noon for their reg
ular weekly meeting and luncheon.
The meeting was very interesting
one, being presided over by Attorney
Walter FL. Hammond of the firm of
Buckmaster and Hammond. The silent
boosters for the day were Truman T.
Parker, abstract of titles, and Harry
Mayer of the Mayer Pharmacy. The
attendance prize was won by JOS.
A. Pitts.
The dinner itself was one of the best
that the club has enjoyed and the meet
ing itself was proclaimed to be one Of
the best ever held by the club.
The matter of a constitution and by
laws to cover the workings Of the new
club were taken up and after a report
by the committee in charge, the by
laws drawn up were unanimously
adopted.
President Ernst appointed commit
tee consisting of @. L. Trenary, M. j..
Isermann and Charles Z. Turnock to
work in conjunction with committees
from the Retailers Association and the
Chamber of Commerce and other bust
ness men of the city in connection with
the proposed addition to the new addi-
tion to the Kenosha post office.
T. A. Sullivan, chairman of the com
mittee as to meeting place and dinners,
made a report recommending that the
club meet in their usual room at the
Hotel Kenosha which was unanimous
ly adopted.
The matter Of members attending the
national convention of the KiWanis
Club at Detroit, was discussed and
many members signifed their intention
of going.
Prof. Tremper, principal Of the Ke-
nosha High School, was the guest of
the club and the oral booster for the
day. His talk was on the definition
of the Junior and Senior High School,
Prof. Trenary made very interest
ing and instructive talk on this sub
ject which gave every member present
distinct knowledge as to just the
workings and the advantages of the
division in the school.
He brought out the fact that there
always had existed too wide a chasm
between the old eighth grade and the
high school, which gave many young
people an idea that they need not go
to school longer. He also showed where
it gave the pupil more latitude in the
choice of studies and let him choose
for himself what he wanted to study,
also gave him instruction under. two or
three teachers after the sixth grade,
instead of under one through the
eighth which brings the child into con-
tact with more than one personality
and method of teaching instead of
keeping him under one teacher and the
same routine Of teaching.
Prof. Tremper also stated that the
Junior High school and the Senior
High school division helps to keep
children in school longer, as after they
have finished the ninth grade they
practically have one year of high
school already and if they quit school
at the end of this time they have
had one more year of education than
if they had quit at the end of the
eighth as heretofore.
In closing Prof, Trenary urged upon
every member of the Kiwanis Club
and every man and woman of the city,
to take more active interest in the
schools, to ask questions, and to take
any problems that they do not quite
understand up with him, also to help
the management and the teaching force
of Kenosha in every way to bring Ke-
nosha schools up to the standard where
Kenosha people want them,
