Teacher-Scholars AT Joint
Training School Enjoy Soc
ial Gatherings Inaugur-
ated This Year.
ARE HELD EVERY TUESDAY
Students and Teachers Meet Every
Tuesday Evening and Forget School
room Enrolment For the Summer
Courses Increases.

The Racine Kenosha Joint County
Training School for Teachers at Union
Grove has during this summer session
inaugurated scheme which has prov.
EN- highly successful in increasing the
interest of the teacher-scholars and
which promises in the future to be-
come a definite part of the school pro
gram. The innovation is that every
Tuesday evening, teachers and scholars
alike forget the school room and classes
and hold social meeting and spend the
evening in games and dancing. The
students and teachers have by this way
become much better acquainted and
the gatherings hare opened the way
to better work.
The summer session which opened
on Monday, June the Both, has proven
s''ccneof''' in everv way according ia
the report of Principal Arthur J. Smith
The enrolment has increased to twenty
nine students all of them teachers in
the two counties. Both certificate and
professional subjects are offered much
attention being given to the profess
sional work, especially agriculture,
methods and manual training.
The course in agriculture covers
work that rural teacher must give
during the year. Some Of the topics
taken up during the summer session
are: weed Identification, study of corn
and stock. The class in agriculture
consists Of about eighteen students,
and is taught by Griffith Richards, the
Kenosha County Agent
The course in Methods includes OBJ
servation work in the Model Depart
ment in reading methods for the low.
er grades. During the first weeks of
summer school class was started in
first grade reading. This observation
work is given three days per week, the
other two days are spent in discussing
the methods used in the class.
The class in Manual Training is
taking up work on how to teach man
ual training in the grades. Work in
mechanical drawing is given in CON
nection with the manual training. Dur
ing the first three weeks five pro-
jects have been completed.

The veto by the Governor of the
bin designed to give every man who
was in the service free access to the
states educational institutions is to be
regretted. 1t may be that this bill was
class legislation but like lot Of other
class legislation we should not have a
very high regard for the man or woman
who sought to test it. It is to be hoped
that an early session Of the legislature
this bill will be brought up in q new
form and again passed. If these men
were picked or volunteered to serve
the nation they put themselves in a

class they are entitled to lot Of con-
sideration Of the people. It is the only
way that this bill should be construed
as "class legislation y.

LEARN A TRADE
AND GET PAID FOR IT
for Two Years, Just Time Enough
to Learn a Trade.

i
The old four year term Of service in
the navy is q thing Of the past. Under
the law recently passed by Congress, a
young man may enlist in the navy for
two, three or four years. Just time
enough to enable him to learn one Of
the many trades that the government
is offering with pay.
According to Lieut.. Commander Ertz,
recruiting officer for Wisconsin and up
per Michigan, the new will undoubt-
edly bring a good many young men
into the service.
/" Many young men just through
school are thinking hard in these days
of high prices. Many desire to learn
a well paying trade or get more edu-
cation, but cannot see their way clear
to do SO with everything so high pric-
ed. Many young men with dependents
are taking advantage of the new priv
lege of short term enlistments with
the allowance of war pay, which will
continue for all men who enlist before
July /, 1927 said Commander Ertz
The system of allotments inaugurated
by the government during the war will
be continued for all two, three or four
year enlistments. By this system, a
man learning a trade in the navy can
at his own discretion, send part of his
pay home, or bank it, assisting himself
of having comfortable sum after
leaving the service.

complished. If that is so, the first bust
ness should be to weed out superhuons
help.
Can the roads be run any less ex-
pensivelyf 1t is very serious ques-
tion, whether the public is not some
times unreasonable in the demands 1t
makes. It is very nice for the subnr-
ban town to have so trains day each
way to and from the nearest big city.
But if half those trains are run at q
loss. the public will eventually have
to pay for it in higher fares. People
living farther out in the country fire.
quently demand trains that do not pay
and must in the end add to freight
rates and fares. The public wants and
is entitled to have good service, but IN
making any demand it should consider
carefully whether it is willing to pay
for the added cost Of the same.
Some towns make perfectly unrea-
sonable demands for elaborate and
costly railroad stations. They clamor
for discontinuance of structures that
while looking rather old fashioned are
in perfectly good repair. Large cities
demand very ornate and tremendous
" expensive terminals, costing mil
lions of dollars, which all has to come
out of fares and freights.
Railroad property and service should
be kept up. The people will have to
paw for fancies and extras. Lavish
service means eventually lavish price
for fare and freight. The railroads,
like the people, have to come down to
the simple life, and the public must
put up with slight inconvenience with
less complaint.

1t is getting to the place where Ke-
nosha people ask for street paving
rather than having street paving forced
upon them. The fact that the peo-
pie of half a dozen streets in the city
have already arranged to have those
streets improved next year shows that
the people are locking forward to q bet
ter city. The council should give every
possible encouragement to these move
ments for civic improvement. If the
people are willing no time should be
lost in carrying out their wishes.

How to Treat
a Cold
By Brice Belder, M. D.

In the early stages of q cold the
attack may be much mitigated,
or even aborted, BY certain sim
pie measures. A saline purge di-
verts the fluids from the head and
diminishes the swelling and secre-
ton Of the mucous membrane. Re
ducing the amount Of liquid taken
as much as possible also reduces
1.-THE nasal discharge. The following
may be sprinkled upon the hand
kerchief and inhaled for its anti
septic effect:
Terebene, one-half ounce; oil OF
eucalyptus, one-half ounce; cam
one-half ounce.
Washing out the nasal passages
with an atomizer will effect good
results. A teaspoonful of salt
and a teaspoonful OF bicarbOnate Of
soda in a pint of warm water make
a suitable solution.
After douching and indeed
throughout the whole course of a
cold, it is imperative that the pa
tient should blow his nose gently
with the mouth open and the nos
trils uncompressed, since otherwise
through the eustachian tubes into
the middle ear on either side, pro-
ducing Assesses and perhaps in
lection OF the mastoid cells Of the
temporal bone (mastoidltiel. In
fact, this is a good rule to follow
at all times.
A teaspOonful Of a solution COM
posed of equal parts of aromatic
spirits Of ammonia and sweet spirits
of nitre every three hours will aid
in ameliOrating a cold. 1t should
be well diluted with water.
1t is better to take a liberal. sup
porting diet than to starVe, since a
reduced diet would tend to lower
the powers Of resistance. OF course,
If there is much fever It will be
necessary to restrict food.
During the acute and highly in
fictitious stages Of a cold the patient
should avoid contact with others,
and should take care not to scatter
the germs OF his infection broad
cast He should cough or sneeze
into handk erchiefs or pieces of
Eauze. which should afterward be
sterilized by boiling or destroyed.
The hands should be washed thor
oughly and often, since many germs
from the nasal secretion necessarily
cling to them.
STIFFNESS and obstruction OF the
nose may be greatly relieved by
spraying with warmed liquid vase
line in an oil atOmiZer.
Unless there is considerable fever,
the more outdoor air a patient with
a cold gets the speedier his re-
cOyery.
II the infection spreads down
ward into the chest careful explora-
ton must be made by the physician
and the case kept under close OBJ
servation.
BY the use OF appropriate vac
cines. made from the patients own
germs. an artificial immunity to
colds may be set up. In those who
suffer from very frequent infec-
tiOns this should be done.

Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

HLUEBEARD looked at Pus
X Junior and then at Goosey
- Camden and then he stroked
his beard. And. do you know. his
beard wasn't blue any more? And
his eyes had a very kind look. and
the more Puss thought it over, the
more he was puzzled.
And all this time Bluebeard had
not answered the question which
Puss had asked him in the last
story. Perhaps he was waiting for
Puss to notice the color of his
beard. which was brown and not
blue any more.
But, as Puss did not repeat his
question, Bluebeard said: Il have
reformed, my good Sir Cat. And to
tell you the truth 1 think it was the
color OF my beard that made me 50
cruel"
Indeed" san Puss, following
Bluebeard into the great hall. And
when did you dye II another color?
II don't dye it, exclaimed Blue
beard. 1T changed color itself one
night, and when awoke In the
morning 1 felt so pleasant and hap
ply. Indeed, my good Sir Cat, one is
much happier when one is good"
And then. ell OF a sudden, GOosey

Hearts that are good and true
Would not wear r beard OF blue.

"But who told you?" asked Blue
beard, turning to GoOsey Camden.
And why is a blue beard a bad
thing for u man to wear"
81 will answer your first Ques-
ton" said Goosey Gander. "A little
bird told me. and the little bird was
a little crooked robin who lived in
a little crooked house in which
there lived a crooked man and a
crooked cat and mouse"
"Ha, ha! He. he" roared Blue
beard-very pleasantly, you know.
only very loud; but it was a CHEEKY
laugh, just the same-''yOu'll make
me believe in Fairies the first thing
you know"
But your second question" said
Goosey Camden. Il cannot answer,
for ] don't know why a blue beard
makes a man bad"
Just then. who should come In but
Fairy Nimble Finger himself II
will answer Bluebeard's question" he
said. "a wicked Fairy turned his
beard blue when young man. but
I have now subdued this evil Fairy
whose name is Meddlesome, and
have made Bluebeard's beard brown
so hereafter he will be a good
man."
