EDUCATIONAL.
(By j. W. voboril,

SCHOOL BOARD CONVENTION
The annual Manitowoc county school
board convention was held at the Or
pheum at Manitowoc on December 4.
The large attendance and the inter-
esting and instructive talks given by
the various speakers made the conven-
ton a marked success.
w. +. Larson gave two very in
structive and important addresses. In
the first on "Education and Industry"
he explained and illustrated how the
people and their schools were suffering
because the manufacturing and other
industries were taking out of the
schools the hest and most intelligent
teachers by offering them better sal
aries and opportunities for promotion
He also explained the need of encour-
aging our bright students to enter the
teaching profession. At present they
are training themselves for the indus
tries
In his second talk Training for Citi-
zenship," Mr. Larson stated that this
county graduated from its common
schools about two-thirds of pupils who
ought to graduate. This is very high
as compared to many other counties,
but he said what about the other one
third. They are the material of which
Bolsheviki are made. Mr.. Larson ex-
pressed very emphaticdly that out of
this one-third comes the dangerous
element in our communities for they
are not able to carry their share of
the responsibility in voting, holding Of
fee, or performing other duties of citi-
zenship intelligently.
Miss Elizabeth Marquardt and Miss
Lillian Chloupek gave excellent talks
on the needs of the schools in the
county.
Mr.. Fred Christensen gave talk
on training school attendance and the
need of increased salary of the county
superintendent of schools, who is at
present receiving only 1925 per month
salary paid TO Mr.. w. f. Larson in
the same Office more than eleven years
ago. The buying power of this Sl25 is
not much more than one-third of what
it was ten years ago.
District Attorney Charles Brady ex-
planned the proposed county road bond
issue.
The following is the program given
at the conventions:

Battling Owls make
Kansas Streets Unsafe

Republic, Kan.-The streets
of this town are unsafe for
pedestrians after dark on ac-
count of the nightly battles be-
tween large flocks of owls. Re-
naming in the trees during the
day, they swarm about like To-
Gusts at night and have become
so numerous and vicious that
they attack human beings. 1t is
unsafe for women and children
to venture out after dark.
In several instances persons
have been struck on the head
and rendered unconscious. One
woman was painfully hurt by
direct attack from an owl which
she had tried to ward off with
an umbrella.
Steps are being taken by the
authorities 20 rid the city of its
strange pests. Such a condition,
it is said, was never known here
before, although owls have al
ways been numerous in this sec
ton of the state.
