IN MUNICIPAL COURT

A Mishicot girl working in the city
was in court last week accused of steal
ing $2l5 in cash from the home of
John Markowsky She pleaded guilty
and after a conference with her rela-
tiyeS she was placed on probation and
given another chance. The money was
recovered, the girl having thrown it
away in the street near MarkowSky's
home when she became fearful of de
lection.
Motor Cop Squires had seven
speedsters before the judge Monday,
each one paying the customary ten dol
lars and costs, They were Harvey
Schmidt, Arthur Zingsheim, Clarence
Alter, Carl Muehlberg, Roland Grimm,
Arthur Neuses and Otto Schaf. The
last two reside at Sheboygan. Neuses
appeared with an attorney but he paid
the same fine as the others.
Roy Bishop was put on parole some
time ago on condition that he support
his wife and child in the performance
of which duty he had been lax, to put
it mildly. Yesterday he was back in
court charged with having broken his
parole He was given one year at hard
labor, the earnings of which will go to
the family.

BASE BALL

No one will now dispute Kellners-
villes claim to the county champion
ship. Their last rival, Reedsville, was
convinced of this fact last Sunday by
the score of 10 to 3 on Reedsville's lot.
A big crowd was out to see the game
as evidenced by receipts of 1892 at 25
cents per head. Muenster, on the hill
side for Kellnersville, allowed eight
hits and struck outu nine, while Hoge
pitching for Reedsville was hit safely
ten times. ReedSville got two home
runs and the champs one. Kellnersville
owes a large part of the hOnors coming
to them to their indefatigable and ire
preSsible manager. Mike never quits
He is a real sportsman and his loyalty
to his town and his team inspires the
whole club, and the community, with
like qualities.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

Editor Pilot;-I hand you, today, for
publication, the names and standings
of those teachers whose qualifications
entitle them to certificates in accord
ance with the standard fixed at the re-
cent public examinations of teachers in
this county Applicants for certificates
of the second grade were required to
answer correctly 10 per cent of all the
questions submitted For a full third
grade, licensing the holder to teach in
any town in the county until one year
after date, 60 per cent, was required;
and for limited third grade, valid in
particular town, for less period
than one year, so per cent Teachers
whose average is above 5 will receive
full third grade certificates One hun
dred applicants were examined of
which those named below have passed
satisfactorily. The average standing is
marked on a scale of 10:

In licensing applicants who have fall
len below the standard of so per cent,
those having the best approximate
standing will be selected, and due CON
sideration given to the wishes of dis
trict school boards. In employing
teachers it will be well for school of
ficers, other qualifications being equal,
to employ those who hold certificates
of attendance at the institute, as they
are likely to be more deeply interested
in the work of teaching than those
whose absence was the result of indif-
ference. MICHAEL KIRWAN,

HIGHER ELECTRIC POWER RATES

The Wisconsin Public Service com
pany, furnishing electrical energy to
Manitowoc and numerous other com
munities from hydraulic power at High
Falls, Wis, has been authorized by the
state railroad commission to increase
its rates for power from 20 to 25 per
cent. The company has only a few con-
sumers here, being limited to large
users of power. All other local con
sumers are patrons of the city's steam
plant. Two Rivers, however, buys all
its power for municipal distribution
from the company. The company's
auxiliary steam plant here is being en-
larged and its power lines are reaching
out to take in Algoma, Kewaunee and
Sturgeon Bay.

its orderly program. Secondarily, the
fault is almost as often with the dis
trict. The hard school is rather set
of hard parents. That is, there is lack
of cooperation. If parents realized
how much they could help the school
by supporting the teachers work, we
are sure that they would he slow to
criticise the teacher before the children.
1t sometimes looks as though parents
were trying to upset the work Of the
school by encouraging the children to
disObey the rules of the school, TO be
dis0rdCrly, and to come to classes with
poorly prepared lessons. If this is not
50, why should it appear that parents
are trying to belittle the authority of
the SCHOOL, Fortunately, there are few
cases Of the kind that have been men
toned, but the few are altogether too
many. When district hires teacher
to teach the districts children, the pre-
sumption is that every parent will
stand squarely back Of the school The
children should be given to understand
that teacher has been hired to teach
the school and that they are sent to
that school to get the lessons that the
school should teach. The parents should
show an interest in the work Of the
children, and If the progress is not as
rapid as they wish, they should remen-
Der that they make the progress still
less if they cast doubt upon the teach
er's ability to teach the school.
Imagine bring man TO do your
farm work, and then taking every OPP
portunty to make your hired man feel
his littlcness. Send him out to plow
and then tell third party who will
carry the story back TO him that the
fellow can't plow straight furrow,
that he doesn't know how to hitch up
the team, that he is a genuinely all
around worthless creature, that the
horses could work better alone than
with him, etc The illustration is a lit
tie strained, but not too much so to
apply to the kind of support that the
teacher often receives. It's mighty
poor Christianity, and worse business.
A district can make even poor teach
er brace up and work if it viii stand
squarcly behind her work and tell the
children that the school is good place
to be, that they expect them to get all
the good out Of school that they can
aud that they are going TO see that the
teacher has q chance to work out her
problems. Why not try 1t anyway? The
other way Is certainly failure, and Il
is mighty poor sport who cannot al
least try a thing once. Outagamie Co

EDUCATIONAL.
(By LILLIAN L. CHLoUPEK)

The teacher shortage remains a men
ace to the public schools according to
preliminary reports made public today
by the National Education association
Replies to questionnaires sent out by
the association have come from all sec
tions of the United States. These re-
ports show that in places where teach
ers' salaries have been increased one
hundred per cent or more the situation
is nearly always satisfactory. But such
places are comparatively few, and in
localities where salaries have been in
creased so per cent or less the teacher
shortage is commonly greater than a
year ago. Rural communities are hard
est hit. Signed reports from Superin-
tendents of many counties indicate that
third of their rural schools cannot
open for want of teachers. Tens of
thousands of schools will be in charge
of teachers who have had no profes-
sional preparation and whose academic
training barely exceeds that of the
children they teach.
Relief from this serious situation,
which imperils the stability of Ameri-
can rural life, will he sought from the
next session of Congress. Renewed eff
forts will be made to obtain the pass
age of the Smith-Towner bill, which
creates department of education with
secretary in the Presidents cabinet
and provides federal aid of Sl00,0O0,-
600 for education.-N. f.. 4.

SUNDAY MO1OR MlSHAPS

The usual Sunday automobile acci-
dents were reported this week. The
two more important occurrences were
the coming together of the cars of Ben
Nogel and Ernst Pape of Sheboygan in
the town of Newton and the collision
of a taxi driven by Harvey Wellner
and a car driven by a Mr.. Denor in the
city No one was hurt badly in either
miX-up, but there were some battered
looking cars, lot of broken glass and
some scared passengers.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

Mr.. Louis Schuette and Miss Clara
Schmidt both of this city were married
Oct. 9, The young couple left shortly
after the ceremony for Atlanta, Ga.
They will visit other points in the
south before returning to Manitowoc.
Mr.. Schuette is cashier of the Say
ingS bank of this city. He assumed
that position before he was fairly out
of his teens, but managed the business
with such consummate success that he
established his reputation as thor
ough business man. But his reputation
does not rest on his business capacity.
He is a young man of sturdy charac-
ter, true to his friends, generous and
genial. There are few young men who
have a more promising future than
Louis Schuette has because he com
mands it in large measure by his worth.
His bride is the daughter Of promi-
nent business man of this city and is a
young lady who need rely on nothing
more than her personal worth to- make
her popular. She is in every respect
worthy of the husband she has won.
Milwaukee is celebrating its semi
centennial today and there is not a per
son in the state whose congratulations
offered on this occasion are not heart
felt. Wisconsin is proud of its giant
offspring, and its smaller sisters
throughout the state have no touch of
jealousy because Milwaukee is the
"Chief star, center of many stars"
Milwaukee may be, at times, a little
too self-assertive at political cOnyen-
tions, and its prominence in sessions Of
the state legislature may be more OBJ
trusiye than deserved 1t may occa-
sionally lose sight of the principle that
the whole is greater than a part, and
thereby provoke remarks which are
more pointed than complimentary, But
down in their hearts the people of Wis
consin love their metropolis, and all
that is needed is the occasion to prove
how loyal they are to her.
Milwaukee may plume herself on the
progress she has made in the fifty
years of her existence. Her growth has
been healthy because natural. She is
always in harmony with her environ
ments and for this reason readily re-
spends to their conditions She Is pure
ly a, Wisconsin product, deriving her
growth from the prosperity of the
state Of which she is the chief city, and
always faithfully rejecting the prog
ress which the state makes.
Milwaukee has no rivals, as her posi-
tion is unique one. There Is no other
city in the United States which com
bines so many charming features with
such commercial and industrial actiyi-
ties. There Is no air which sweeps over
green fields more pure than that which
courses through the streets OF this
city. The odor Of the country has not
been driven out by urban imposition.
And still, there is the hustle Of busi-
ness which in other places seem to re-
qure an accompaniment of dirt and
turmoil. All hail, Milwaukee Wis
consin would not exchange you for any
other city under the sun.

MAY STOP CITY CAR SERVICE

The street railway company's answer
to the city's demand that the company
be allowed no higher rates of fare until
it has extended its lines in the city is a
request that it be permitted to cease
its city street car service altogether,
tear up its tracks leading from Eighth
and Huron to the fair grounds and ut
terly abandon all city service This is
the tenor of part of its answer on tlle
with the state railroad commission.
This is understood to mean that al
though the interurban line in the city
from the depot to the city limits at the
Little Manitowoc river will be main
tanned the line would neither offer nor
give any local service, but would run
to and from the city limits without
stopping for passengers as interurban
cars do in Milwaukee. People in the
fair grounds section would have to buy
fiyvers or walk. There are weeks in
winter when neither walking nor run
ming a Ford is pleasant.
The owners of the street railway line
have always claimed that the city line
was operated at loss, even under for
mer ownership when the line as
whole showed net earnings. The init
nation is made that the insistencc of
