What's Your self.Estlmate2

The estimate you put on yourself
will determine the confidence others
will put in you. No one wants 20 be-
lleye in and follow fellow who has
no respect for his own ability. Man
is born to rule, but few Of them know
It, declares the Pennsylvania Grit. The
set-backs of childhood and the rude
ness OF maturity crushes the germ Of
pre-emInence I'm most minds. Because
first attempts have failed too many
weakly settle into doing what others
are responsible for. They should do
the very opposite. They seem not to
know that the first step toward their
heritage is 10 believe in themselves.
1t takes nerve TO do it when all the
while everybody about you is claim
ing the right to rule. But remember
that right belongs TO the fit. When
you make yourself what the creator
intended you TO be there will be no
question about your having a place to
exercise your divine right.

The first permanent settlement on
the site Of ST. Louis was established
In 1854 by Pierre Llgueste Laclede,
according 10 Il historian, but it was
not until 10S years ago that the future
city was incorporated as town,
Founded by the French, the frontier
post was for time under Spanish
domination. but was restored TO France
and In 1903 transferred to the United
States, The Inauguration Of steam.
boat traffic on the Mississippi gave the
town o boom, and In 1922 1t was in
corporatod as a city, with an area OF
3S5 acres and population of about
5000. For decade the population re-
mained almost stationary, but by 1910
1t had reached the 1900 mark. The
revolution In Germany in 1S4S gave
st. Louis another big push forward,
for thousands of exiles from the king
dom Of the Hohen2ollerns found
refuge In the Missouri city. St Louis
also had large IriSh-born contingent.
For a time feeling ran high against
the foreigners. The native American
spirit was rampant and resulted In
many bloody riots.

We have just ordered one hundred
Teachers Reading Circle Diplomas and
seals, and special honor seals for the
same. We want these diplomas to be
in the hands of the teachers before the
end of the year. On PIP. SO of the
Reading Circle Pamphlet you will find
where Manitowoc County was last year
in comparison with other counties of
the state, in this work. Let us bring
it up this year in both the Teachers
and the Young Peoples Circles. The
book reviews will be heard in this
office on Saturdays between now and
the end of the year. 1t will be neces-
sary to ask the teachers to notify the
county superintendent few days be-
fore of your intention to make the re-
port as Saturday is generally a very
busy day and in some cases it may be
necessary to change the time TO an
other day.
The necessary instructions for this
work are given on PIP. l0-ll of the
Reading Circle Pamphlet. If it is inn
possible for the teacher TO come to the
office to make the report, it will be
necessary to send to this Office the
names of the books you have read and
instructions will then be mailed you MS
to the kind of written report that Is to
be made on the books.
The reports made by applicants for
the Young Peoples Reading Circle
diplomas are made to the teacher in
| such way as the teacher may deter
mine. Encourage non-pupils of your
district to join. 1t would surely be
worth while to encourage these young
people to read under the auspices OF
the Reading Circle. See p. 80 OF the
Reading Circle Pamphlet for suggest
| ions along this line.
In the diploma examination credit
will be given in reading to any pupil
holding a reading. circle diploma or
having a statement certified by the
teacher that the pupil has done the nee
| essary reading TO entitle him to such a
diploma,

TEACHERS ATTENTION

Are you looking carefully after the
outbuildings? From personal inspec-
ton and from reports received the past
month some neglect has been noticed
A daily inspection of both buildings
should be made by the teacher every
day. Doors off Of hinges and snow and
ice in the buildings are Indications
that this is not done and are black
mark on the physical conditions Of the
school.
Teachers please report in lcritiag inn
provements and school activities.
Don't forget the county fair. Put
aside some of the best school work
Try to follow the premium list in max
ing your selections.
1t is time to plan your gardens for
the coming year. Every child ought
to have n garden this summer for patri-
otto reasons as well as for the school
fair next fall.
Please apply to the Red Cross Head
quarters, Manitowoc, Wis for buttons
and the large red cross to be hung in
the window. The small red crosses
for each pupil can be had at the same
place.
Every school should have an honor
list for both the Junior Red Cross and
the Thrift Stamp Campaign. Write
the name Of the pupil under his star on
the Junior Rcd Cross Service Flag.

Tunnel Under British Channel.

The proposal to construct railway
tunnel under the British channel Is still
under consideration. Mr.. Asqulth,
former British premier, stated some
time ago that the entire project with
the modernizcd plans would be taken
up before long and leading member
of the house Of commons stated that
the plans for construction were 50 far
advanced that work could begin when
ever the necessary legislation was Sc
cured. The estimated cost of the tun-
mel would be about $70,000o00 but
even at that 1t Is estimated that It
would give net return OF to Z per
cent on the investment and reduce the
running time between London and Par
is flve and one-half hours.

Ex-President Fillmore died at his
residence in Buffalo, last Sunday night
He was born in Cayuga County, New
York, in 1900, and cnsequently at his
death was in his 74th year. His early
life was spent in the most severe
toll on his fathers farm, but with a
determination to lift himself above
surrounding circumstances, he EN-.
ployed all of his leisure moments in
the careful perusal of whatever books
the neighborhood afforded, and at the
age of 21, he had so well employed his
hours of study that he was able to be-
gin the practice of law, and according
ly opened practice for that purpose in
Buffalo. His political career began
in 1929, as a member of the State
Legislature. In 1874 he was chosen
Comptroller of the State of Ne wYork,
and the subsequent year was elected
Vice President of the United States
under Gen. Taylor. On the death of
Gen. Taylor he became Chief Magis
trate. He made strenuous efforts for
a reelection, but was defeated. After
retiring from the presidential chair
he abandoned politics and led life of
quiet enjoyment, although in 1856 he
permitted himself to be again run as
candidate for the Presidency, but he
received only a small number of votes

spectacIes Once a sign Of Wealth.

Spectacles were invented In Italy
about 1885. They were at first very
expensive, so were worn only by
wealthy persons or noblemen and so
came to be regarded as a mark Of
rank. The larger the spectables the
higher the rank, and so the glasses
grew to protligIous size. There are
two or three busts extant of Italian
gentlemen wearing "specs," and In
one of these cases the lenses are three
inches In diameter.
