HEARING ON new ROUTE

The public hearing called by the
state highway commission on the
question Of altering part Of the trunk
line highway route between Manito-
woe and Two Rivers to a location fur
ther inland was held at the courthouse
last Friday. The commission repre-
sentatives surely heard enough argu-
ments pro and con to justify the call
ing of the hearing. The state body Is
said to be in favor of having the trunk
line proceed out the Shoto road to the
north line Of the city park property
lately purchased from the Platts, and
thence to proceed straight east along
that line and across the Little Manito-
voc and the Country club grounds, all
on new road to about the Lindstedt
home. The people appearing seemed
quite evenly divided on the question.
The reason for the change is, OF
course, to avoid the expense of pro-
lection against erosion. The road at
some points Is dangerously near the
lake. Opponents of the change said
that proper lake protection would cost
less than the new road State Engi-
neer Conway stated that if the change
is made work can be started at once,
while III the work must await shore
protection the road work may be de-
layed several years,
Among the speakers at the meeting
were State Engineer Conway, Atty.
H. G. Nash, Supervisor Drumm, II. L.
Wits, Charles Kiel, Atty Charles Bra
dy, Atty. A. P. schenian, Joseph Koe-
Mig, Ferdinand Schneider Edward
Fricke, Frank Muth, Mr.. Carlson of
the Traction company, Arthur Pitz,
NJ. II. Murphy, Atty Dicke Of Two
Rivers and others
The state commission has the de-
termining OF the matter and 1t seems
to be committed to the new location
The state expects the city To donate the
land for the highway through its new
park land.

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

Several times a year County Judge
Chloupek presides in the Municipal
court in the absence of Judge Schmidt.
When he does he slaps it on thick TO
the speed maniacs, unlucky enough to
be brought in during his brief reign.
There is no minimum fine nonsense.
No matter who it is the penalty car
ries sting, Carl Genske of Two
Rivers was up last week before the
acting Judge. II was some action all
right Genske thought his arrest for
speeding was a joke and was quite
flippant about the matter. The Judge
said that he had a mind to commit the
speeder to Jail but that he would be
lenient, and if Genske could find $40
and costs he might depart, He paid a
total of Si4.7O.
The troubles of Everett Hammer
never cease. He was fined some time
ago twice for keeping his saloon open
after midnight Then the city council
revoked his license Then he was fined
for running without a license. This
time he was up as plain drunk He
pleaded guilty and nonchalantly peeled
a twenty of a roll that looked like a
street roller. He was fined $5.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

The problem of salaries of school
teachers and supervisors has become
national; and yet right and left one
hears the statement from people who
have given the matter no. considera-
ton. There are plenty of teachers;
our teachers will come back; no
school is without a teacher; why
should we worry?'
The reason why we should worry is
that quality of teaching and of teach
ers has been rapidly deteriorating all
over the United States. have heard
more complaint about the discipline in
the schools of Wisconsin this year
than have heard for years. The fact
is due to two principal causes,-the
youth and ineXperience or natural in
efficiency of the teachers added to the
fact that many children have caught
the spirit of the times and are restless
and troublesome. The industries and
other active agencies have been skim
ming off the cream from the teaching
body.
We are confronted by an educational
crisis; if you are a legislator, what
are you doing about it? If you are a
school board member, what are you
doing about it? If you are a city
superintendent or county superintend-
ent of schools, what are you doing
about it? There is one thing to be
done at once and that is to increase
salaries. They should be increased 25
to 33 1-S per cent for the coming year.
Some schools ought to double their
salaries. Sometimes | hear men say
the teachers are not worth the in
crease, or even the salaries they are
getting, Perhaps they are not, but
whether they are or not the only way
to get out of your present difficulties
is to raise salaries and then get the
best teachers we can find. When
young men and women of ability dis
cover that teaching is showing some
symptoms of becoming a worthwhile
occupation from a financial point of
view, they will begin to prepare them
selves for it and flock into the ranks
To wait until we have able and well
trained teachers before raising the sal
aries will be to wait until the crack of
doom. The demand must precede the
supply; this is a law of economies
This is the biggest and most funda-
mental educational problem confront
ing us today. The future welfare of
America demands that the minimum
salaries for teachers should be ap-
proximately $1,000 or $1,000 a year. A
good stenographer can command that
amount. Money talks. Everything
else in the present crisis is merely hot
air. c. p. CARY.

Anton Walterbach of Meeme died at
his home in that town on Friday night
of last week. He was quite well ad-
vanced in years but was quite vigor-
GUS up to the time of his final sick
ness. He was one of the early settlers
of Meme, having come there in 1848.
Through industry and economy he be-
came possessed of considerable prop
erty through the early days and then
started country store and saloon.
Money flowed into him like water and
he purchased a number of the finest
farms In the neighborhood. These
lands he distributed among his child
ren. He was man OF iron constitu-
tion, long hours of labor and hard
ship did not seem to affect him in the
least He leaves large family all in
comfortable circumstances. He was
born In Germany in 1926 and immi-
grated with his parents tn America in
1916. He remained two years in Mil
waukee and came to Meeme in 1S4S
He was married In 1851. His wife and
six children survive him.

The Manitowoc Chamber of Com
merce has seemed for the past year or
two to be lapsing towards Cleveland s
famous innocuous desuetude. Those
on the inside have blamed it on some
errors made early in its history, form
of organization and lack of funds. At
the annual meeting last week outsid-
ers were asked to come in and talk it
over with the members. 1t was de-
cided not to abandon ship" but to re-
organize. Professional organizers will
probably be engaged. The idea seems
to be prevalent that very large mem
bership with small annual dues is a
failure. That the work which the
chamber seeks to accomplish can best
be done with a compact organization
with members paying larger dues,
Percy Morgan of New York and Sec
retary Wagner Of the Two Rivers or
ganization addressed the meeting. A
committee composed of directors and
non-members have, 1t is given out, de-
cided to engage the concern with which
Mr.. Morgan is associated to put on a
whirlwind campaign in the city for
new memberships. 1t is also sug-
gested that the name of the organiza-
tion does not well designate the
character of the local civic body's
work and there may be change there
also.

TEACHERS AND SCHOOL BOARDS
Arbor Day and Bird Day fall on the
first Friday in May. Use part of this
day for appropriate exercises and better
yet, use part of the time in planting
trees, shrubs, and flowers about the
school house and grounds. DO not
plant trees in the middle of the boys
bali grounds, or around the edges to
be used as bases. They won't grow.
Likewise plant only trees that are beau
tiful and long lived such as hard map
les, elms, oaks, Eastwood, and pine.
Shrubs and cedars could be planted
about the outbuildings and in the fence
corners. Clean the yard, removing all
stones, sticks, ashes, and other refuse.
The Wisconsin Conservation Com
mission Madison, Wis, offers to those
interested in planting evergreen trees in
school grounds, an opportunity TO Sc
cure s TO year old trees free of charge
Transportation must be paid by district.

| Among the soldier letters which
Judge Baensch has received is the fol-
| lowing from Oscar Thompson, son of
T. /. Thompson of Liberty:
Bendorf, Germany, March 20, 1919.
Honorable Sir: | received your well
come card few days ago. Glad to
hear you have had such a mild winter
over there. | had a letter from home
few days ago saying the Flu had
been raging around there; hope it has
been stamped out. We have had lit
tie Of it here, too. We have our Base
Hospital at Coblenz, and a Buddie Of
mine was taken sick with the Flu, was
at the hospital a month, pulled
through all right, and said the boys
were taken good care of. Still they
were dying like flies. Seventeen hun
dred of our boys are buried there,
since we arrived here on the Rhine.
There's some very nice scenery
along the Rhine. Have had the pleas
ure of visiting a few ofNthese interest
ing places. A week ago, several of us
from this company had a pass to AK
Les Bains. Had the pleasure of see
ing the old Roman Baths, just as they
had them 127 B. C. The new establish
ment is quite a bit different compared
to the old one. Instead you will find
view of the Thermal Establishment,
also a view of the Kaiser's Palace,
which is located few miles south of
CoblenZ, on the Rhine.
We are having real spring weather
here now, everybody busy getting gar
dens ready for seeding. AS yet, have
not received the blank Miss Grady
mailed me, will fill it out as soon as
get it,
We were in the front lines the morn
ing the armistice was signed. Nine
A. M. we received orders to cease fir
ing at IL, which sure was some joyful
news. The following night the front
line was one line of bonfires. 1t sure
was some change. We are more than
thankful the struggle is over. We are
now looking forward to the day when
we will be sailing back to the good old
u. s. A. That for mine.

In this place, on Monday last, a
serious case of accidental poisoning
took place on the South Side of the
river 1t seems that a woman had
picked some beans, and in doing so
used a copper kettle Wishing to sell
them, she sent sample to Mrs. La
Count, wife of the proprietor of the
Manitowoc House, and the latter lady
and her sister making use of a small
quantity about noon of that day, in a
few hours they were taken with vio-
lent retching accompanied by spasms
and cramps. For awhile their suffer-
ings were terrible indeed, but a ply
sician being sent for he administered
an antidote, after which they COM
menced getting better, and at the pres
ent writing are thought TO be out of
danger, though still weak and unable
to walk. Although there are different
accounts current in regard to the af-
fair, yet the ladies Immediately CON
cerned have no doubt that the poison
ing was purely accidental. This nearly
fatal accident should be a warning to
persons never to use acids in copper
utensils.

steady and genial citizen can i'll be
spared from our midst. The Village
Board has appointed to the office thus
made vacant, Don A. Shove, ESQ., who
will hold forth in the office room here
tofore occupied by Mr.. Eldridge. If
the new is as good as the old, the peo-
pie will be well served.
