nection with this enterprise ehat
should be cleared up. The university.
normal schools and colleges have
standards of work that they must in
sist upon in order to maintain the
reputation of their institutions. There
is a percentage of failure among the
regular students and we have no req
son to believe that the percentage of
failure among the soldiers would be
any less. The question is, What is the
institution to do with a man who cam
not keep up with his classf Is he to
be thrown out and further educational
opportunities denied to him, or shall
he be returned to some school where
he is able to do the work that is ex-
pected of him, and where he can make
real progress? This bin is silent upon
that subject.
1T seems to me thar some proyision
must be made for that type of stu
dents unless il is our desire to extend
this educational privilege only to those
who are brilliant and are able TO carry
the work of the institution they attend
The purposes of this bill are costly,
and if as many as ten per cent of the
men who We're in the service take ac-
vantage of it, assuming that the priv
ilege will be extended to all. il will
cost approximately S10,000,O00. This
expense will spread over four years.
and in this connection / wish to call
fn hn ho%
places no limit upon the time when
the privileges under it shall be taken.
If soldier decides TO go to school ten
years from now, unless the law is
changed, the privilege is still open TO
him. However, l merely wish to call
attention to, but not to criticise that
feature of the bill.
1T seems to me that the best inter-
est of the soldier and the schools de-
mands that we go into this undertake
Ing in a systematic way. The first
thing to determine is how many will
accept the offer, what their qualifica-
tons are, and where they wish to at
tend school, and any other informal
ton that is necessary to determine the
best plan to follow. We must also be
able to advise our educational insti-
tutions what they must expect in the
way Of increased attendance from this
source in order to enable them to
make the necessary preparations"
Gov. Philip then concludes his mes
sage, saying that he will direct the
adjutant general to make a survey
among the soldiers to determine the
number who would avail themselves
of the opportunity and that the edu-
cational details Of the proposition will
Be submitted to the state board of
education for consideration and report.
With this data on hand Gov. Philip
will then determine on whether a spe
cial session of the legislature is nee
essary.
No effort will be made, according to
Senator Ray ]. Nye, Superior, to pass
the bill over the veto of the executive.
81 feel that the survey which Gov.
Philip has directed to be made will
clearly show the necessity for legisla-
ton of this character and that thou
sands of soldier boys want an educa-
tion," said Senator Nye.
Chief Clerk G. E. Shaffer of the
assembly said that he did not believe
it would be possible to have final
adjournment this week. He thinks
the session may drag on until Aug. 1.

TALON Of infantry, one squadron and
one machine gun company, one com
pany of cavalry, one regiment of field

Another announcement of wide
spread interest is contained in letter
which the chief of militia bureau sent
to the adjutant general of Wisconsin,
the Wisconsin National Guard will
not be known by the division or num-
Der under which it fought in the war
with Germany, but will be known as a
part of the National Guard divisional

SAILOR BOASTS OF

Charles Aimendinger. IT. a sailor. ar

fore Magistrate Douras in West Side
Court yesterday, assuming an air Of
naivete which proved amusing to the
court and the spectators.

marked. i've got a record in my note

had a narrow escape when I finally got
out of sight. II she hadn't had skirts
she'd probably have caught me and
whaled the stuff1ng out OF me-"
Almendinger appealed to the leniency
of the court on the ground that he was
an orphan and had been in an asylum
at Pelham until his enlistment In the
navy. He had never had a mother
care nor a fathers advice he said. After
he came back from foreign service he
was attached to the Great Lakes Train
ing Station. but recently he received q
twenty day furlough to this city. He
said he had fallen into bad company
and had been taught the holdup game
by others. The defendant read his note
book account OF his operations and com.
puted a total gain of $32.25 from the
operations. The sailor was held n
