MORE TIME IN WHICH TO ACT
GOOD SCHOOL WEEK.
. Nov. 1920

This is state VIDE movement ana
every school district in, the County is
expected to observe the week in some
manner.
State Supt. G. P. Cary sets forth the
aims for the week as follows:

tion and to develop public sentiment
in favor of better schools.

tendance.

worth of education.
6. To interest all electors in school
needs.
z. To obtain adequate financial
support for schools.
8. To make all school instruction
contribute to good citizenship and
personal efficiency.
County Plan
The County will be districted, with
committee in each district to head
the work. This Committee will ar
range for publicity, speakers, etc. The
director of each school district may
plan his own meeting, or appoint
someone to do it, and he may call up
on the Committee for speakers or
advice.
Suggested Plan For School
Make Nov. 1920, an "At Home" I"
week in the school. Decorate the
room and display school work. En-
tertain visitors by showing good re-
citations. Read old lessons that
have been we'll learned and enjoyed.
Show rapid drill work, give history
talks, etc. Keep to business, either
old or new. The school should not
furnish the entertainment aside from
regular work.
Every parent is expected to visit
the school sometimes during the week.
Do something to encourage it while
there.
There should be at least one even
ing meeting for adults. The pro-
gram might we'll be community sing
ing, talks on community school needs
and an address. The director should
be Chairman of the local committee,
and the clerk, treasurer, and teacher,
with one outside member appointed
by the board, should help plan the
activities for the week.
Someone at each school should be
selected to- report the meeting and
other items of interest. The report
should go to the secretary of the Dis
trict Committee, who will forward it
t othe County Supt. This Committee
will have a list of available speakers.
We hope to go "Over The Top"
Bayfield, County should hav 100
per cent GOOD SCHOOL WEEK.
Just to start discussion. (1919 re-
port.)
The rural schools of Wisconsin en-
rolled 155,362 pupils. The percent
of attendance was 70.4.
Bayfield, county rural schools nearly
per cent better than the Wisconsin
average.
Is either good enough when the
money spent would care for 100 per
cent attendance?
What can you do about it?
Go to the meetings and help solve
Wisconsin's problems.

Measures Wear of Roads.

one one-thousandth of an inch. In
order to form a base to which meas
urements can be referred from year
to year, brass plugs are set in the
pavement where readings are desired.
Readings are taken by resting the
bearing plates on the roads surface
and allowing the plunger to rest on
the base plate of the plug. The in
strument is plumbed with the aid OF
a level and the spanner bar is held
parallel to the center line of the road.
Other readings may be taken with the
bar at right angles to the center line
of the road.
An important advantage OF this in
strument is that accurate data can be
acquired rapidly and without inter-
rupting traffic. The base plate In the
pavement is protected between read
ings by covering it with cotton waste
and topping with putty. The brass
plugs are readily set in any pavement
while it is being laid, and at any tu-
ture time by drilling holes with star
drills and setting the plug in cement
grout.

Every user of concrete and other
improved highways will be interested
in an instrument which has recently
been designed and made in the re-

crete and other surfaces. 1t Is an

with this instrument a large amount
of valuable data may be collected not
only regarding concrete roads, but al
so concerning brick, macadam, and
other types of surfaces. The instru-
ment consists essentially of two bear

pivoted on uniform joints to a span
ner liz inches long. In the mid
point is mounted a micrometer whose

A cold is probably the most COM

times as many people died from in

the greatest war the world has ever
known. For the last fifty-three years
Boschee's Syrup has been used for
coughs, bronchitis, colds, throat ir-
ritation and especially lung troubles.
It gives the patient a good nights
rest, free from coughing, with easy
expectoration in the morning. Made
in America and used in the homes of
thousands of families all over the

PAY ATTENTION TO ROADSIDE
It Should Be One of First Places oy

Is Improved.

Some farmers evidently consider the
roadside along their farms as distinct
" separate from and wholly outside of
their jurisdiction, and any time or la
Dor expended in keeping it up as so
much gratuitiously donated to the pub
lie. Every farmer should consider the
roadside along his farm as deserving
as much of his attention as the farm
itself. He should consider the road
the "front way" to his farm, and in
stead of it's receiving secondary atten-
ton, 1t should be one of the first places
by which the appearance of the farm Is
