COMMITTEE EXPRESSES THANKS

We take his opportunity of thanking
the Liberty Loan bond buyers of Mani
toWoc county for enabling the com
mittee to make the following final re-
port of subscriptions to the Third
Liberty Loan: The total amount is
$l,670,l00.
This brings the county in the 200 per
cent class
lnasmuch as the county made thus
wonderful showing, w. l.. Ross, di-
rector Of sales for Wisconsin, sent the
following telegram to Liberty Loan
headquarters:
George Wits; Hearty congratula-
tons on your Joining the exclusive
200 per cent club. Membership is
limited to counties which are will
ing to do more than anyone dare
ask, and am glad county made good
on the failure in first and second
loans.
1t might be stated that while Mani
towOc county has oversubscribed more
than 100 per cent above its allotment,
II should be horne in mind that in
the first two drives this county fell far
shcrt of making its quota.
AS the figures now stand the county
has subscribed in the first loan S253, 900,
the second loan 1878, 500 and the present
and third loan 81 $40, 100; the total is
81, 10G, 800
The wonderful spirit shown by
workers and buyers and their active
cooperation in the campaign is deeply
appreciated by the committee, and il
is good augury for the future. Every
part OF the county willingly showed It's
interest in the loan and the people
indicated in Z. very definite way their
loyalty to the great cause that the
United States is engaged in,
The committee wishes very specially
TO thank the residents OF the rural dis
tricts for the untiring and loyal efforts
to bring each school district well over
the top. Manitowoc county has not
merely put its good name so strikingly
on the loyalty map, but it means to
keep it there, What we say In refer
ence to the rural districts can be en-
phasized in the work and the results OF
the cities OF Manitowoc, Two Rivers
and the villages of Kiel and Reedsville

He was born in Limerick, Ireland, and
came to this country about 40 years
ago. He first settled in Ohio and later
came to Meeme where he taught school.
After few years he purchased a farm
in Eaton where he lived until his re
moval to Chicago.

visiting sections noted for its "mas.
ter rs the teacher was called if he
had fame as a scholar These boys
were always welcomed by the "mas-
ter, as their thirst for knowledge was
such that they proved to be model pu-
pills. The teachers always frankly ad-
mitted their inability to carry their
pupils further in educational matters,
when the students attainments reach
ed the limit Of their own capacity, and
then a "master' of greater qualifca-
tions was sought elsewhere.
Mathematics was the fayorite sub.
jeco with the Irish people who sought
an education. O Shea was literally ed
ucated in this branch-not merely in
arithmetic, algebra and geometry but
in Che branches to which these are ele-
mcntary. His mind was Of the analy-
tic kind, capable of sustained and Wig

Most Of the schools will close with
in the next month. Our Thrift Stamp
aud War Saving Stamp campaign
should not stop at that time. The chill
dren will have opportunities to earn
mo1eY this summer and should be en-
couragcd to save it by investing in
Thrift and War Savings Stamp. How
to continue this campaign after school
closes and the teacher has returned to
her own home is our present problem
The following are some ways of sol
wing it: The teacher should appoint
some capable person to take charge
of this during the summer months.
This may be young man or young
lady who can be relied upon TO or
ganize the children SO that they would
report TO him or her once week on
sales made or stamps purchased.
This same plan can be followed in
the school by having a president elect
ed or appointed who will get reports
weekly. Only. an enthusiastic, reli-
able boy or girl should be appointed.
Who ever has charge of the work
should report to the County Superin-
tendcnt ON the 2Sth or 29th of each
month. The pupils should be cncour.
aged to pledge themselves to save and
to organize into societies. Those
should report TO the State War Sav.
ings Society at Milwaukee when they
have organized.
