To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of Kenosha County:
Report of the proceedings of the Com
mittee of the Whole for November Is,
1917.
At nine clock a. m. the members OF
the Kenosha County Board with the ex-
ceptions of Supervisors Burg and Prid-
dis left the Court House in Kenosha
and proceeded by automobiles that were
kindly provided, to Union Grove in Ra-
cine County, where we were met by the
members of the Racine County Board
and taken to one of the schools where
a room has been set aside for prac-
teal work in the training of teachers
in rural schools. This branch is under
the supervision of Miss Clark, who ex-
planned to the members of the two
County Boards the methods used in fit
ting teachers for their work.
superintendent Smith gave a very
clear explanation as to the object Of
teachers training school and methods
used to make competent teachers for
rural schools of students taking the
course. We were informed that there
were "a young ladies taking the course
of which sixteen were from Kenosha
County, two from Walworth and two
from Milwaukee Counties, the balance
being from Racine County. After about
one and one-half hours spent in this
school we proceeded to the Racine
County Asylum at Gatliff.
We were taken through the various
barns of which Racine County can be
Justly proud. About $3.50 o'clock P. m.
we were invited to a bountiful dinner,
ably served by direction of Mrs. Lewis,
matron Of the institution. After din
ner short talks were made by several
members of both Racine and Kenosha
County Boards. Returning we left
GatIiff about 4:30 clock p. m.
While each year this county board is
censured more or less for making this
visit it is a part of the duties of this
body and especially this year getting
clear understanding of the object and
workings of the Teachers Training
School, observing the work as it is be-
ing done. From beginning to end it
was a successful and instructive visit.
Respectfully submitted,
T. S. Scott,
Chairman Committee
of the Whole.
Motion made and seconded that re-
port of Chairman Of the Committee Of
the Whole be accepted and adopted,
and spread upon the minutes of this
