THE SCHOOL VISITOR

IL was class in reading. The sub
ject was life in Norway. The words
we're easy an the lesson was well read.
The teacher, to complete the lesson,
called attention to the map of Europe
and pupil pointed out Norway. At
that point she stopped. Most of the
class were satisfied.
A bright looking girl raised her hand.
She wanted to know whether Norway
was north of Wisconsin. The teacher
said it was and asked the class why.
They said it must be so because it was
so cold in Norway.
The Visitor asked whether there was
not some other way of showing it, The
class finally concluded that if they
could place the maps OF North America
and Europe side by side so that the
parallels touched, end to end they
would have an idea of it. They did
this but then another question arose.
How do Norway and Wisconsin com.
pare in sizeP The statistics in the
geography were consulted, and the
comparison was made. But there
seemed TO be something wrong with
the answer. The Norway on the map
seemed larger than it was in the table
OF statistics. How could this be. Al
ter some more thinking the class
thought that perhaps the map of Eur
ope might be made on a larger scale
than that Of North America. And
when another question was put they
discovered by looking at the scale that
this was really true.
The class was then asked il the maps
gave them an idea of the distance Nor.
way is from Wisconsin,, and in what
direction they would have to 20 TO
reach it. They thought the maps didn't
help much TO give them these ideas.
Then one Of the boys said he was sure
that il they could have the globe IL
would help. 1t was brought from
corner, busted, and the class soon had
the right answers to all these questions.
The Vis,tCr wondered whether that
teacher had carefully planned the les.
SON Should she have anticipated these
difficulties and questions? 1t was cer-
tain that she did not include one thing
in her plans; namely, 10 have all the
apparatus necessary ready for the re-
citation. And that is one thing that
the directors Of practice in the training
schools and normal schools insist on, to
have everything ready for the recita-
tIon, even to crayon and erasers. DO
we take too much for granted In deal
ing with pupils2 Do we not take it for
granted that they know and understand
when they do not2 1t often seems So.

TEACHERS SALARIES.

The school teachers OF the city re.
Gently petitioned the Board of Educa-
tion for an increase of salary of 20%
At board meeting last week the sal.
aries were increased about Sc and the
school year vas cut two weeks. They
will be given full forty weeks pay for
36 weeks work. This is said to be un
satisfactory TO the teachers.
In the new schedule high school
teachers are given an advance of $50
to BOO and grade teachers S25 to SIS
per annum. The minimum for grade
teachers was raised from $500 to $3.50
and the maximum was fixed at $500.
Whether the teachers will sign up
for next year at these figures remains
TO be seen. The board has asked the
teachers to sendi notice of acceptance
or rejection at once and the crisis il
there is one impending must soon come.

WIFE AFRAID WITH REASON.

Mrs. Charles Vioungville told the
police the other day that she expected
her husband TO come to town and that
she feared violence on his part. He
had formerly worked here. Sure
enough Charles turned up at the police
station Tuesday and asked for aid in
locating his wife. The police had re-
ceived information that he is of draft
age and had failed to register for mill
tary duty. So he was detained. A
nice, new, shiny revolver was fished
out OF his grip which made the police
think that the wife's fears of violence
were not all hysteria. When told that
he would be detained in custody for
while Vioungvillc acted in manner
that convinced the police that the
wife's fears were well grounded. He
will be detained until the federal mat
ter is cleared up as well as the domes-
tic discord Investigated. 1t is quite
likely that tragedy was averted by
holding him.

HAD OTHER FELLOWS WIFE.

Sam Pappas, Greek barber, started
to work here few days ago but ne
didn't stay in our midst long. The She
boygan police wanted Sam and 50 we
let him GO Ii seems that he lived at
Cleveland, Ohio, some months ago and
he left there for Wisconsin. In pick.
ing up his baggage he included the
wife Of one Roy C.. Rogers, TO which
proceeding Roy objected, but Sam and
the wife had not left any forward <
address. Learning that the pair we're
at Sheboygan he did not congratulate
them and take them to his bosom in
the latest University of Chicago style
but unmannerly called in the law.
Thus we lost Sam before we had time
to get acquainted.

On Saturday evening quite number
OF persons collected on the wharf to
witness the departure OF the David
Vance. She is beautiful vessel, and
an unusual interest has been taken in
her by others, besides those whose
labor helped to mould her comely pro-
portions, and it was with feelings OF
regret, as though an old friend were
leaving us, that we saw her slowly
move out towards the lake and gradual
ly disappear in the darkness. She left
here about IL o'clock Saturday evening
and reached Milwaukee at O'Clock
Sunday morning, which is making
