Christmas Over There

When Capt. Asbury Vale left Keno
sha lieutenant in Company M, he
promised his friends here that he would
not return until he had spent Christ
mas as an unlimited guest in the land
of the Huns. Today postal card has
been received from him, now in Marie1l-
hansen, Germany, and he writes that
he has made good and ate his Christ
mas pudding in the lost kingdom of
the ex-Kaiser.
Capt. Vale is in the 107th Supply
Train and is a member of the Army of
Occupation. He is still in command Of
a company which has several Keno
shans in it and they all united with
him in sending New Years greetings
from Germany to the folks back home.
How long it will take the Yanks to
clean up Germany is not intimated IN
the recent card from Capt Vale, but he
suggests that he may be home with his
Kenosha soldiers before very long.

Again For France
Kenosha Committee on Fatherless
Children of France Shows How
Need Now is Greater Than Ever.

Cessation of hostilities does not bring
food, clothing or help to the Fatherless
Children of France. The world war is
over, but that fact does not bring to
life the dead soldiers of France. The
next year viii be the hardest in the
lives of the wives and children whose
breadwinner has given his all for his
country. So far there is no pension sys-
tenn or insurance policy organized in
France. The little farms are destroyed,
the ground a mass of she'll holes and
metal. The fruit trees are clt down,
the vine yards RACED The farm nipple
ments and cattle are taken away. The
machinery that used to afford employ
ment to women and girls in lace making
and cotton spinning, is in Germany.
Above all, the munition factories that
during the period Of the war employed
many hundreds Of hands, no longer need
the workers.
The French women need our aid for
their children during the next year
more than they ever did or ever will.
France will get on her feet and her
frugal thrifty people will adjust them
selves to new conditions, but that all
needs time. Many Kenosha people
who have adopted orphans for the past
year, have volunteered to continue
their relief for the coming twelve
months. The others will doubtless do
SO when the conditions are understood.
Man. new foster parents are wanted.
Kenosha@has far exceeded her quota
but Eastern Wisconsin is behind in her
apportionment and we must put our
shoulders to the wheel and cooperate
with those who are striving to make
our state live up to her full obliga-
tion towards those children left to the
tender mercies of the world We must
not be debtors to the heroes who
died for US quite as much as for La
Belle France.
Telephone Mrs. George Milne and re-
adopt your orphans for 1919 and if
you can, add to your list and get your
friends to do the same.

A Purse for Purdy
Students at State University Pay Fit
ting Honor to the Author Of
ION Wisconsin,

In the old days when all the "big
stuff happened in France, they used
to give their poets and singers wreaths
of laurel in recognition of their service
to the state. That was all right for the
golden age, when sprig of laurel was
good for a goat steak or chlamys most
anywhere in Athens, but now-well
Wisconsin does it differently.
When they heard last week that Will
liam Purdy, composer of the famous
Badger song, ION Wisconsin, = was
very i'll and in financial straits, the
student body of the University Of Wis
eonsin opened an energetic campaign
to raise a fund to assist him. At a
mass meeting, when the announcement
was made, more than two hundred and
forty dollars was contributed at once,
and money is still pouring in.
Patriotism and gratitude are mingled
in their giving for William Purdy wrote
what is not only a favorite college song
but is the song that was taken to France
by Wisconsin soldiers and sung all
along the battle-line by American
fighters. The students feel that they
now have an opportunity to express
their gratitude.

The Cry Of the Children
Women of the Park Avenue Methodist
Church Hear Mrs Bradford Discuss
Child-Iabor Problems.

An unusually interesting session of
the Woman s Home Missionary Society
Of the Park Avenue Methodist Church
was held at the home Of Mrs. o. w.
Taylor, $50 Sheridan Road, on Tuesday
afternoon. Over sixty members of
the association were present at the
meeting and enjoyed it's inspiring Of
ferings.
The question of Child-Laboro in
the United States was the chief topic
Of the afternoon s discussion. The
subject was admirably introduced by
Mrs. Mary D. Bradford who presented
conditions in the cotton-mills of the
South as well as startling statistics
regarding Kenosha and its children.
She revealed the fact that last year
1000 children in Kenosha between the
ages Of Il and 16 years stopped school
to go to work either from desire or
compulsion.
fThis,' she asserted, represents
an increase of 400 over the number
stopping between the same ages for
the preceding year, probably because
war-conditions have made possible more
tempting offers for the child-labor-
ers. -
Following Mrs Bradford Is talk Mrs.
Theodore Kreiman gave wildly real
istic reading Of 'TThe White Gift"
while pupils from the Durkee School
and Mss Jean Schroeder demonstrat-
ed the heights of artistry in music
which even children may achieve if
they are given sufficient opportunity
and efficient instruction.
Delightful refreshments concluded the
festivities Of the afternoon and re-
fected no little credit on the hostesses
for the meeting, Mrs. o. W. Taylor,
Mrs. Leslie Lease, and Mrs. Charles
Turnock.

High Praise for
Zimmers Book
Education Gives High Place to
Work of Peter J. zimmers Form
erly of KenoSha,
Corp Clarke P. Young,
H'dq. 57th F. A. Brigade.

"Education,' a nationally read
magazine for school teachers and school
officials gives considerable space this
month to book recently published
by Peter J. Zimmers former Superin-
tendent of the schools of Kenosha and
now superintendent of the Schools at
Manitowoc. The magazine gives high
praise to the Zimmers book which is
published under the title Teaching
Boys and Girls How to Study" 1t
says in part:
"We have recently given consider
able attention to this subject, in Edu-
cation, under different titles, such
as 9tThe Socialized Recitation, -
Pupil elf-Government," etc. It is
most important subject, and no
where, probably, have the problems in
volved been worked out more fully and
successfully than in Manitowoc, under
the inspiration and guidance of Super
intendent zimmers and his teachers.
The plan and its dtails are so full Of
interest, so dynamic, so fruitful of good
to the average pupil, so fascinating as
method of teaching, that we strongly
advise every superintendent and tea
cher who reads this brief notice, to
send for the book. This method of
recitation makes the pupils think for
himself. Instead of being required to
1ic+ an ,,oocA &c %bo 1--WE - H. 4o.ot -
and to remember what she has express
ed, the pupil himself becomes an in
vestigator, and having found out for
himself, expresses himself in his reci-
tation. He is cross-questioned by the
class and made to defend his position.
The doing Of these things makes him
careful and accurate. 1t cultivates ha-
bits Of expression. 1t makes him con-
fdent. It develops leadership. Gradu-
ates Of elementary schools where this
method is followed usually get all
the best honors and class leadership
offices in the high schools which thew
afterward enter. The plan solves the
question Of order and discipline. Dis
order is usually the result of idleness
and inattention. These do not exist
where the socialized recitation plan
is followed. Good English follows, as
a matter of course. This little volume
contains brief photography of the
subject. Every teacher should own it.
1t will make school life and work a
hundred percent. more interesting and
effective. -

And when the next war is declared
Kenosha will be ready. While Sena-

Orchard Knoll School until now they
can boast a company >of little soldiers
perfectly initiated into the mysteries
of "kitchen-police, = mess-manage-
ment, and all those other things com
prising an army commissariat.
It happened accidentally. Til e
.3 little heroes had greatness thrust
upon them. Because there was no
manual training equipment the boys of
the school were drafted into the Do
nestle Science Department and forced
70 serve whether they liked it or no.
They accepted CONSUMPTION like re-

breakfast party for the general staff, CON
sisting Of Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, Mrs.

served by the boys of the school with
no aid from higher-ups except occas-
ional suggestions from General Or

Mess Officer for the company.
The "chow' consisted of "Cream
Of Wheat served with dates, hot
biscuits, bacon, doughnuts, and cocoa,
all so well-cooked and seasoned that
no second "soupy, soupy, soupy" was
needed to bring hosts and guests to the

In passing out the "crosseso crossed

TO John DeYoung for baking biscuits,
Drowned to a turn without being black

making the cocoa and not spilling it
and to George Partch for decorating
the table so artistically as to suggest a
big-town cafe or restaurant.
Other boys who assisted in the work
and helped to make it a signal success
included Walter Nolen, Chester Lin

on our 18th day out, but we saw it
quick enough so as to enable US to
get away from it. No other incidents
happened during our trip. On arriving
at st. .Nayaire we went in to a rest
camp there and stayed over night.
Next day we left for an artillery train
ing camp in southern Fraace, known
as Camp Coequidon. After finishing
our training there we left, going into
Alsace. We held that sector for two
months, no incidents there, it was like
"a grave yard. There was watering
hole there where both we and the Ger
mans got our water. One day when
they were after some water some of
our boys threw stones at them which
Icreated bad feeling. We put heavy
barrage over one night, and the Ger
man people living their nearly died of
surprise. We left Alsace and went up
on the Marine then to Chateau Thierry.
We took up the fighting at Jaulgonne
and carried the line way up to the
Vesle at Fismes. We were then sent
up on the Scissor front with the
French, under command of General
Mangin. We took Terny Sirny, and
Juvigy while there. On that front is
where our division the 32nd won the
title of ''Bes Terribles'' from the
French. On being relieved up there
we came down to Joinville and had
five days rest before starting our
final push. From Joinville we liked
up on to the Verdun front. On the
night of Sept. IS we attacked and
carried our line forward about three
kilometers the first day, bad weather
short time In our first attempt we
took the Argonne Forest and Montfau-
con. Later we struck again, this time
on the night of October 31st, never
did I hear such barrage, our brigade
of seventy two guns an average of 800
shots per minute for ten hours, two
hours of harrassing fire and then I
thought hell had broke loose. I have
never heard one so druse as that one.
There were FIVE other bridges in their
besides our and lot of coast artillery.
The Germans never stopped after that,
they were going yet when the armis-
tice was signed. We have received
many concentrations for that work,
copies of two of them have sent home.
Our division has received three eta
tions, the first from General Pershing
for our work at Chateau-Thierry, one
from General Mangin for work at Jul
Ivigny and one from the Commanding
General of the 5th Corps Major General
Summerall. We are one of the Divi-
sins that can say we never gave foot
in any counter attacks launched by
the Boche and we sure had some bad
ones.
When the armistice was signed we
were about to cross the Mouse at Ste
nay, then orders came to go back and
we sure did. never received
scratch Dad, but one thing only true is,
it was pure luck, and would not sell my
experience for million. I am coming
home soon Dad.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
Write TO France
Kenosha Youngsters and
Fatherless Children of
France Keep Up Live
" Correspondence.
FOR The PATRIOTS FUND

A letter postmarked "France0 is
ceasing to be an object of wonder to
Kenosha school children but at the
same time it is becoming more an OBJ
ject of interest. Kenosha children,
through the Patriots Fund, have used
the mails to form friendships with the
Fatherless Children of Franse and al
ready q lively correspondence has
sprung up between the War orphans of
the devastated republic and the chill
dren of their benefactors in the good
old U.S.A.
It happened this way Nearly a
year and half ago, the Kenosha Pa
triots' Fund adopted two hundred
French War Orphans and quickly sent
to the Society of the Fatherless Chill
dren OF France the money to support
them for the first year. French chill
dren ale grateful and no sooner had
they learned of the kindness Of Ken
osha than they began to shower this
city with letters, written in queer lit
tie French characters perhaps a little
"stragg1y," but still expressing in
no uncertain terms the thanks which
they felt for Kenosha benefactors.
These letters were about to be fled
away untranslated and unanswered
when the schools offered to take up the
task of keeping up the correspondence
with HEour children in France.
Through the French classes in the Sem
ior High School the letters were, trans,
lated and were divided among the
graded rooms of Kenosha.
In answering the letter each pupil
in the room wrote an individual letter
70 their orphan in France. Then the
best thought of each letter was selected
and made into composite letter and
thus one letter was sent from each room.
Separate letters were also written from
the High School and altogether more
than one hundred letters have been
forwarded to France.
The plan is being much discussed
throughout educational circles and Ke-
nosha has been congratulated upon
hitting on this happy schema to bring
interest into school work. Besides be-
ing Of great educational value, the
children received much enjoyment
from the writing of the letters as they
felt that they were writing to real
friends and now have the added JOY
Of looking forward to receiving an
answer. The letters have also stimu-
lated an interest in studying out more
carefully the geography Of France and
indeed all Europe in order that the chill
dren may know more about the homes
of their French correspondents.
One Kenosha child has already re-
Iceived a letter from a French War
Orphan It is Master Charles Miller
of the Durkee School who several
months ago wrote to one of the French
Orphans supported by the Junior Red
Cross OF the Kenosha Schools and who
is now proudly displaying an answer
from somewhere in France. A score Of
other letters are expected to reach Ke-
nosha in the near future.
