JOINT RESO-
LUTON

Madison, Wis.-Following the reso-
luton presented to the legislature yes
arday that a memorial be erected to
the Grand Old Man of Wisconsin"
Ex-Governor W. D. Hoard, W. D.
Connor has been asked to take charge
IF the canvass among the friends of
Mr. Heard in Marshfeld and Wood
County.
By the death of Governor w. D.
Hoard on November %, 1918, Wis
oonsin loses its most distinguished
citizen
1t is difficult to define just what is
the states greatest debt to him, but at
this time> the one in most mems
minds is the early, answering stand
he took for progressive, vigorous A
naricanism. When he fell to defeat
n 1890 on the educational issue, it
was because he would rather be
tight than be governor" His view
point Of yesterday is ours of today.
While we would not minimize our
obligation to him on this patriotic
score, yet we feel that we owe him
most for what he did to dignity and
lplift agriculture. In the days fol-
lowing the civil war when the fertii-
" of Wisconsin soil was impoverished
~ wheat growing, he used every avail
able means to impress upon our farm
avs the need of livestock husbandry,
especially dairying.
To his foresight and genius pre-
eminently are we indebted for the
organizations that have so effectively
promoted modern agriculture in Wis
ccnsin. While he rejoiced in the ma
teriaI returns from improved meth
DDS, he more particularly emphasized
he desirability of the restoration of
soil fertility, of comfort in the farm
home, of the duties and opportunities
Of farm citizenship.
Resolved by the assembly, the sem
ate concurring, that we desire here
to record our deep appreciation Of his
patiotic vision, Of his leadership in
he evolution Of agriculture, notably
dairying, and Of his incomparably val
liable services to the state thereby We
recognize with deep gratefulness his
honorable activities as governor and
his great usefulness as a conscientious
and inspiring regent of the university.
We commend the plan now well ad-
vanced for the erection by his friends
nd admirers throughout the nation
| Of a permanent memorial in his honor
md believe that in so doing they are
peypetuating his worth and adding to
the glory of our commonwealth.
Resolved further, that we extend
% the bereaved family our sincere
sympathy; and that to it be trans
mittad an engrossed copy of this trib-
ute.

ATTENTION RED
CROSS WORKERS

Washington urges that work on all
Refugee garments be rushed to the
greatest possible extent. The garm-
ents that are finished and shipped in
January, so that they may be sent
abroad February 1st, are the garments
which will be the means of saving the
lives of many Of the sufferers in the
war devasted countries of Europe.
It is hard to keep up the enthusiasm
of the workers now that the war is
practically over, but in such instances
an earnest appeal is made to all
workers to realize the great need Of
the orphans and widows in France
Belgium and the other countries which
have been swept by war.
A representative of the Red Cross
has just returned from France after
making an exhaustive survey of the
situation, with the information that
the need for Refugee Garments is
greater than ever before.
Speed in completing Refugee Gar
ments may save many thousands Of
lives.
If you would enlist in the army OF
service that relieves suffering and
brings cheer everywhere, help in this
refugee work.
TIE Grand Rapids Chapter has mo
than thousand children's garments
cut and ready to give out to workers
who wish to take the sewing home
to finish.

Each pupil in the high school whC
is regularly enrolled carries four sub
iects and recites four times daily. II
addition, many pupils have labrador
and shop work. Some who are not
classified as regular students or who
have failed in some subject may have
five or six subjects. Each class oc-
cupies forty-fve minutes daily in re
citation, and pupils are expected tc
z~end from fortv Tain8tes to ona y
in preparation for tie recitation. It
is not usually possible to do all Of
this studying at school or durin"
school hours; hence from one to three
hours Of home study are needed daily
Parents. and persons who have pupils
rooming with them, should see that a
part of each evening is spent in pre-
pairing the daily assignments. No
onlv is it necessary to attend to the

! The work Of the high school is seri-

recognize this seriousness of high
school work is both failing to share
the burden Of responsibility with the
school and is fostering habits of ne.

lure the future life of the pupil. To-
much outside social life permitted b.

Of parents and Of the community the

! The report cards fer the second pei

cause Of the illness of some of the
teachers not all Of the standings are
recorded. These cards are sent ont tc
give parents and others teachers es-
innate of pupils work It is hoped
that the cards will be looked over
carefully, and if standings are below

to insure better preparation.
The basket ball team will play its
first home game Friday night of this
week with the Wautoma high school
team. The boys are putting forth
every effort to produce a winnino
combination this week.
The School Review, one of the lead
ing educational magazines of the cour
try has the following editorial in the
January issue:
The extent to which public schools
have been interferred with during the
last few months by the epidemic O.
influenza is difficult to ascertain at
this time, but reports from all par
of the country make it perfectly clean
that the problem OF rounding out the
educational work of this year is 2
grave one which will require the high
est ingenuity on the part of the prin-
cipals and teachers. In many case
the schools have been closed twice
In some cases the closing of the
schools seems to have been
carried out when it was the judgment
of principals and teachers, as well "a
of a large part of the community
that it would have been usually safe
for the pupils if the schools had been
kept open and rigid medical inspec-
tion provided.
1t is to be hoped that the Who'll,
matter of handling contagion in pub
lie schools will be gone into moro
fully in the future than it has beer
in the past The old-fashioned plan
of closing school whenever infection
appeared has certainly been discredit-
ed by the careful studies made b,
sanitary officers. Incidental evidences
which have annaared during this epi-
demic justify the verdict that it
better for the school to be kept open
with inspection than closed. For ex-
ample many found Immediately af
ter the Thanksgiving recess that tho
irregular practices of that period and
-ha miscellaneous social gatherings
which children went to were more dis
astrOus for the health of the com
munity than regular attendance on
the public schools. The fact is that
the ordinary family and the ordinary
community do not know how to pro
tect themselves against cOntagion as
we'll as most well-organized schools
There can he no doubt that rigid med
ical inspection can be advantageouslv
carried much further than it has been
carried up to this time in most schoo'
systems.
