VERY OPEN WINTER UP TO
JANUARY

The weather, since September, has
been to those who wanted it warm
and comfortable, all that could be
asked for, in fact there was not time
this winter that the temperature went
down below zero until after the first of
the year. On the afternoon of Jan. End
there was decided change, the mer-
curry dropping very rapidly until it was
reported four below zero by six o'clock
December was the warmest one in
this section since 1913. The average
was rs above. 1t was a peculiar month
the sleighing being very good until
about the 18th, then the warm wea-
Their and rain melted it away. There
were only three clear days during the
entire month, the rest were cloudy
On the 9th there was a heavy sleet
storm and on the 10Th, 21st, and 22nd
there was a dense fog. If the con-
tinued warm weather which we have
had means that the cold weather will
even up, then the balance of the win
ter, will surely be a cold one.

COUNTY FIELD WORK.
(By A. G. Burg.)

The County field work in Marathon county
during the past year has been appreciated by
the farmers Of the county in many ways. This
is due to various reasons. Among the most
important is the fact that they have become
much more familiar with the nature of the
work and the different ways in which the
County Ffeldman could be of assistance to
them. The numerous demands placed upon
the County Fieldman by the Federal govern
ment. in the way of collecting agricultural
data, and thereby keep the government in
formed as to the exact conditions and possibil-
tiles, in the way of increasing the supply of
food products, has been matter of pride for
every farmer in the county that has taken
pains to study the results.
Much OF the success of this work is due
entirely to the splendid cooperation the ma
1ority OF teachers have given to all information
In the way OF supplying this data from time to
time as requested.

THE COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL
(Randall Johnson)

This is the twentieth year of the schools
history. 1t has graduated about thirty stu
dents each year. The last three years it has
not been able to supply the call for teachers in
Marathon County.
Now that the training school has the use
OF the entire building there is accommodation
for at least one hundred students 1t is we'll
equipped to give instruction. in agriculture do
nestle science and manual training, as we'll as
to give thorough preparation for rural school
teaching.
The practice school which is housed within
the training school building is a real rural
school composed Of rural children. This is a
condition that exists in no other training school
in the state.
Although the chief purpose of the school is
the training of rural school teachers it should
be a continual help to teachers while teaching.
This can be done by teachers writing to the
faculty for helps and suggestions in regular
class room work special program work.
The training school exists for the betterment
OF the rural schools. Teachers make of it.
Through its different activities the training
school teaches its students to take the initiative
and management of reading circle work, club
work and other community work In connec-
ton with the teaching of civics training in
parliamentary practice is given. The school
takes active part in Red Cross work and
other activities. One student knit six
army sweaters and another knit eight pairs of
wristers. One senior boy knit scarf. Our
service flag has ten stars one of which is a
gold star. The training school, student body
and faculty, did their share in a quiet way, to
make democracy safe.
1t is now the duty of every school in the
land to make our country safe for democracy
This can better be done by education than by
legislation. The teachers slogan should be:
IAN Intelligent, Moral, American Citizen-One
Country, One Flag One Language All this is
necessary to be 100 per cent American Citi-
zen.
The school is open no longer to eighth
grade graduates but anyone having completed
the ninth grade may enter the TWO year course
Tenth grade graduates as well as high school
graduates can enter the one year professional
course, until September 1, 1920.

Suggestions FOR TEACHERS.

Teachers will, after a brief review
take up the work with the pupils
where it was left off at the last session
of the schools.
Give just as long lessons as can be
mastered by the pupils. Eliminate all
nonessentials. Use every device with
in your knowledge for making the
work vivid and interesting.
Be careful to assign definitely every
lesson. Make certain that every pupil
understands just what the lesson is
Expect at least half hour of earnest
study, daily, at home from each pupil
above the second grade until the work
is made up and the class is up tC
grade
Observe carefully the directions OF
the health officer in relation to medical
inspection and contagious diseases.
The prevalence of influenza has
brought about an emergency which
will tax to the utmost our skill, pa.
tience, industry and fortitude to sue
cessfully meet. Let us do our best
to meet it..

The Frank Winninger Comedy COM
pany closed a very successful two

comedians on the road and has a style
which is all his own.
Can anyone tell why there should be
such a difference in the parcel post
rate? A merchant can send merchan-
disc from half pound to the number
of pounds allowed by law, and only
pay pound rates. If a printer sends
some printed matter and it does not
weigh four pounds he has to pay at
the ounce rate, half a cent an ounce.
1t costs "a cents to send three pounds
of printed matter to Oshkosh and
eight cents to send four pounds to
the same city. Can you see any justice
in that ? The rate on printed matter
should be the same as any other mer-
chandise, and the country publishers
are lot of poor business men if they
do not make big kick, one that will
be felt, so as to have the law changed.
