THE ISSUE is STATED.

Our nation is at war and that fact
controls every activity in our lives. 1t
cannot be ignored or shaken off. Our
government is one by representation.
Every legislative body from Congress
down is being called upon for consis-
tent, patriotic action to uphold the ma
tlon and to support the boys who have
gone away TO protect its honor.
At this time there should be no room
in our legislative bodies for counterfeit
Americauism. A shifting, hedging at
titude connot be tolerated with any
claim OF distinct nationality, America
is nation with its own hopes, ideals
and aspirations; not mere settlement
of detached portions of Europe. Our
Legislators should not only have ex-
pressed this view but should have act
ed in accordance with IL. This idea
must prevail in our Legislatures or our
boys have marched to tho front in vain.

man at the solicitation OF those who
felt that my election would stamp as
ISLANDERS the charge that Wisconsin and
Manitowoc County are disloysl; that 1t
would brand as false the assertion that
Americans OF German parentage would
not support one who had been loyal In
sentiment and wartime activities
Many OF those who so urged me are of
German parentage. did not believe
these charges true and | do not now
believe them true. II they should
prove true | shall be proud OF my re-
sulting defeat.
Party titles mean little in times like
| these. Wisconsin's record Is one Of
loyalty and it will remain loyal ire
spective OF parties. We know that we
have few who are disloyal to this ma.
tion today, but it is unfair to Judge q
whole community by few misguided
persons. Fair, reasonable and con-
s.ructive criticism is not disloyalalty
and it is an injustice to declare disloysl
those who have so criticised. | know
that every one Of those who have been
} disloyal is working for my defeat. One
OF the most pernicious Of them bossted
on w ednesday that the result OF the
primary was proof that Manitowoc was
in accord with his dlsloysl sentiments.
This election is being eagerly watch
ed within the state and without Its
borders. Wisconsin will be judged by
its result. The duty of every citizen
OF this district is more serious and i'm.
portant than any he has performed by
the right OF franchise.

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

In the case vi Scnrrmeyer VS.. f. Z. A
on fraternal insurance policy the jury
found that the insured did not come tc
his death by suicide, a verdict for the
widow.
In Nyhagen VS.. Bertler Brothers a
personal injury case wherein the plain
tiff, boy IA years old, sought recovery
for the loss of iinger while working
in the defendants brickyard last sum
mer during school vacation, the jury
gave him an award of S400. The plain
tiff's claimed that the defendants per
mitted the lad to work unlawfully with
out permit.
The four cases instituted by farmers
against the Burger Boat Co. for oak
lumber sold was tried this week. The
cApapy claimed that when delivered
here at Manitowoc it scaled short and
included considerable rotten, unusable
lumber. After the testimony was in
the court directed verdict for the
plaintiffs largely on the ground that
after the lumber had been delivered a,
the railway at Maribel the company
had mixed up the shipments of the four
individual sellers so that neither court
nor jury could now tell who was short
of the claimed scale or whose lum Der
was partly rotten, If any was. This
act the court said was inconsistent
with ownership remaining in the seller
and under the Wisconsin sales law in
dicated purchase at Maribel. Each
plaintiff was given his full claim.
The trial of Kiel VS.. Protz was be-
gun Tuesday. This is to collect for
damages arising from the collision o1
two au u6omobiles on the road between
Manito voc and Mishicot last fall.
The same day jury was selected tc
try the case of Bahr VS.. the city o1
Manitowoc set for next Monday. 1t was
postponed until next week because the
complaint was not served until Tues
day noon and because city attorney
Ledvina was to leave for Madison Wed
nesday to argue the Land q Fuel Co
street vacation case in the supreme
court.
William Koch who pleaded guilty tC
non. support Of his two minor children
was up for sentence. The matter was
somewhat complicated by his lnslsten
assertions Of partial incapacity fol
labor. The court sentenced him tC
two years in the state prison and ther
suspended sentence during the periot
that he pays sl2 per month for the
support of the children.

j. Where jacketed stove system is
used, having special device for mix
ing the foul air and the smoke, the
central smoke flue In the vent fue may
be dispensed with.
In such cases, the vent flue must
have an inside measurement OF at least
256 square inches.
VII, Efficient work. This is the
most important factor to be considered
In the granting Of special state aid,
and 1t may be at times the most diff
cult one to determine. No special aid
should be given to districts in which
poor school work Is being done, or in
which disorder is prevalent. In check
ing up the work Of the teachers, the
superintendents should be guided by
the following directions.
l. The order in the school must be
good at all times. This includes the
playground management as well as the
schoolroom activities.
2. There must be evidence OF good
school housekeeping.
5. The teacher must give attention
to the posture and bodily habits OF
pupils, and to the health conditions in
the room.
a. The teacher must show evidence
of daily preparation on the part OF the
teacher.
3. The state manual should be the
teachers guide.
q. The teacher must post and follow
the program in the manual or close
approximation to II, variations oil
course being allowed where there are
no pupils In one or more or the grades.
l. There must be evidence of ap-
plying the work OF the schoolroom tc
concrete and actual situations.
8. Clear and definite assignments
must be made by the teacher.
o. The children who are Of proper
advancement must be given definite
course OF lessons and exercises In the
use OF the school library, the depart.
ment publication. lessons on the
Use OF the School Library" to be used
as a guide.
10. The pupils must be kept profit
ably employed while at their seats.
ii. There must be a good spirit-a
spirit OF hearty cooperation between
pupils and teacher. The children
should show genuine interest In their
work and pride In the good name o.
the school.
NOTE: Idleuess, listlessness, day
dreaming, petty mischief, such a.
shooting paper wads, writing notes
whispering, getting up and moving
about, shulliing the feet, talking il
signs, ETC., when found in any marked
degree, are sure indications of an In
competent teacher. Any school ha
its restless moments, but wise teacher
knows how to deal with this temporar,
condition. The teacher should stol
now and then and count the number 0
pupils that are busy and the numbe
idle as test OF her efficiency and he
pupils habits.
