OLD LANDMARK
Joseph A. Pitts Plans New Store in the
Building Recently Purchased From
the Calkins Estate,

The change in one Of the landmarks
of Main street was predicted this morn
ing when Joseph A. Pitts announced
that he was planning extensive i'm
provements in the store room now oc-
cupied by him and which building he
recently purchased from the Calkins
estate, It is planned to take over the
larger part of the upstairs Of the build
ing for the Pitts store and this will
give ample room to make il one of the
most convenient musical and wall pa
per stores in the southern part Of Wis
consin The improvements will pro-
vide for the building of q new en-
trance to the store with larger show
windows. It will also give room for
the establishment Of larger musical
room in the business house for the bet
ter showing Of musical instruments and
victrolas. The sale Of the building to
its former owner several years ago
marked another chapter in the history
of one Of the most interesting build
ings in Kenosha. The building, for
merly known as Simmons Hall, was
built by the late 2. G. Simmons, in
1858, and at that time was known as
one Of the best store rooms and halls
in all Wisconsin The changes in it
planned by its new owner viii give it
a more modern appearance and make
room for the growing needs of the com

MUST USE PUNCH
TO GET TEACHERS

Interesting facts in regard to the
teaching profession in Wisconsin and
the prospects for the crop Of teach
ers in future years, were presented to
meeting of the faculty and regents
of the Wisconsin normal schools by
Mrs, Mary D. Bradford, Of this city,
at the gathering held in Madison on
Saturday and these facts show that the
solution of the problem of finding
teachers for Wisconsin schools in the
next few years is going to be hard
one. 1t shows that hut twenty per cent
of the young people graduating from
Wisconsin high schools this year are
planning to enter professioh Of teaching
The meeting at Madison was one of
the most democratic gatherings of
teachers ever held in the state. 1t was
arranged by the members Of the facul
ties of the various normal schools and
the presidents and regents were later
called to attend it. Prominent among
the speakers at the conference was
W. G. Bagley Of Columbia University,
and Mrs Bradford.

The health department. was meeting

caring for patients of the disease taken
from boarding houses and hotels. This
morning there was man decidedly i'll
with influenza at the police office. He
had been taken from one of the local

care of him. The isolation hospital
was filed with patients and other hos
pitfalls had crowded in the last patient
possible.

the man could be cared for and whore
we could put two or three additional
beds declared Commissioner Winde
sheim this morning, 'but we have no
one to take care Of him and people who
are as sick as this msn must have
someone to take care of them. There
are no available nurses in Kenosha and
we must have nurses if we open any

are liable to get number of patients
from boarding houses and hotels but
we are at the end of the string--we do
not know where we are going to put
them. -

More Gases Being Reported.

The disease was still gaining ground
in Kenosha today. Sixty cause.-the
largest number Of cases to be reported
in any "a hours-were reported to the
department on Monday and the reports
were coming in in q lively fashion this
morning, It was admitted that good
many people were being released from
quarantine but the number in quaran
tine was declared to be close to the 200
mark. Several deaths from pneumonia
which had followed an attack of infu-
enza were reported during the last "a
hours.
Just before noon arrangements were
made to have the patient at the police
office taken care Of at one Of the local
hospitals and with the removal Of a
patient from the isolation hospital an
other bed was furnished for the emer
gency cases. It is being suggested that
the city clinic may be used as an isola-
ton hospital. 1t would provide for a
half dozen more beds. Other places
under consideration are the infrmary
at st. Mary s Summer Home for Chill
dren and a portion of the building for
merly used by st. Catherine g Hospital.
If nurses can be secured to take care
of emergency beds, one of these places
may be secured before the day is over.

1245.
After submitting these figures which
were reduced to graph and placed
in the records of the state department
of education, Mrs. Bradford made a
strong appeal to the faculties Of the
normal schools to advertise their own
product and to seek to stir up interest
among the young men and women in
the teaching profession. In concluding
her address she declared, There Is a
better prospect than ever before for the
recognition of the teaching profession

Reports from Schools.

Mrs. Bradford spoke with authority
in regard to the situation surrounding
the demand and supply Of teachers
She had sent questionable to a humid
red and fifty high school principals III

how many of the students graduating
from these schools planned to enter
normal schools and prepare themselves
for the teaching profession. Eighty
nine Of the principals reported on a
total of 1860 graduates. Of this mum
Der twenty per cent expressed them
selves as willing to become teachers.
But forty seven boys out of the list
of graduates were ready to. enter the
profession and but six hundred and
twelve girls The report showed that
fifty-two per cent of the graduates were
definitely decided not to seek education
as teachers and twelve per cent of the
graduates were still undecided. Sixteen
per cent Of the graduates were not ready
