Some interesting figures; Of the
100000 public school teachers in the
United States it has been estimated by
competent authorities that: 2OO,ooo
have had less than four years train
ing beyond the eighth grade; 100000
have had no special professional train
ing for the work of teaching; 100000
are not beyond Il years old; $4,000
are teaching on permits, not being
able to meet the minimum require
ments of county superintendentS; 49,
900 dropped out of the profession in
1919. Of the 2O,000,000 children of
the United States 100000 are being
taught by teachers who have had no
special preparation for their work and
whose general education is clearly in
adequate.

COURT COMMITS lNCORRIGIBLE

The municipal court decided this
week that Lloyd Freng is incorrigible
and sent the lad to the state industrial
school to remain until he is Is years of
age. The boy was put on probation
last fall, after a conviction on charge
of burglary. He has since engaged in
several transactions landing him in
court, among them leading gang of
boys to steal an automobile. His parol
was revoked and while in Jail he has
been no end of trouble to the sheriff.
He was in one attempt to break Jail
and was turbulent and unrulely, once
assaultng the jailor. The court saw
no way out of it but to commit him
to place where the tanning of un-
broken bronchos is an every day affair
and is effected with scientific precision.
Master Freng is in for either a decided
change of habits or some unpleasant
Pxperience

HEpz0G IN MOONSHINE ADVENT URE

Lieut.. B, P. Hersog Of this city is
connected with the United States rev.
enue department and he had an expert
ence last week which he says reminded
him of the lively days in France a year
and half ago. In a raid on alleged
moonshiners at Racine there was
fracas and Pete struggled with two
men, one welding gun. He jumped
over a baliStrade to a landing below
Just as a bullet whizzed by his head.
One man was shot dead in the fight.
Herzog was severely mauled by one
man while holding the gun fighter, but
was not seriously hurt.

SPRING POLITICS

Monday was the last day for filing
nominations for the spring primary.
The purpose of the primary is to elm
mate all but the two highest for each
Office. These two go on the official bal
lot in April. The only contests where
an elimination is necessary are for
supervisor in the First ward, aldermen
in the Second and Alderman in the
Sixth for each of which offices there
are now three candidates The complete
list follows;
FIRST WARD.
Alderman-Arthur Reichert, Henry
Mahnke.
Supervisor-Charles AuClair, Frank
Rose, William Gennrich.
SECOND WARD.
Edward Fricke, Joseph
F, Sladkey, Ira F. Smith.
Supervisor-Joseph Willott.
THIRD WARD.
Alderman-Rudolph c, Kielsmeier,
Otto Vogel.
Supervisor-Frank H. Mahnke.
FOURTH WARD.
Alderman-Charles j. Bouril, Henry
E. Meyer,
Supervisor-Edward Dusold, Eli
Rasmussen.
FIFTH WARD.
Alderman-Gilbert Thompson.
Supervisor-George Schadcberg
SIXTH WARD.
Clarence II. Holsen,
Herbert PITT, Peter Staalson.
Supervisor-Louis Christman, Mar
tin Olson.
SEVENTH WARD.
Alderman-Edwin A. Butt, TheO
dOre Wergin.
The Fifth ward seems to have been
abandoned to the Socialists but in the
Third Vogel will doubtless have bat
tie royal on his hands to hold his seat.
The elimination contest in the Second
is Supervisor j, S. Dempskey, where
two candidates yearn to wear the
toga that graces the form of JOS
eph Sladkey. He has survived two or
three raids on his position. 1t is pos
sible to make nominations by suffi-
cient number of written in names and
some candidates who have no oppos-
tion now may have it after the pri-
mary.

CRATE MEMORIAL

The local bar held memorial services
for the late Judge Isaac Cratic last
Friday afternoon in circuit court.
The entire bar of the county was
present as well as relatives and other
friends of Judge Crate. The memorial
was presented on behalf of the bar by
Edward l.. Kelley. 1t was an eloquent
tribute to the departed lawyer, re-
viewed his life and career and con
tanned moving passages of beauty and
thoughtful speculations of the meaning
,4sf human life and its purpose. 1t was
a well turned piece of work both in
thought and expression. In moving the
court to receive and adopt memorial
+. G. Nash, one of Crates most inti-
mate friends at the bar, gave an elo-
quent talk and touch with evidences of
deep feeling his tender regard for his
friend. He dwelt in particular upon
his social qualities and his gift for
u. D. 4AItSiooii pNN-
onded the motion and drew upon his
knowledge of the early history of the
local bar and gave a few incidents
from Judge Crates early career.
Judge Kirwan in adopting the memor
al and ordering il recorded in the
courts records paid IA, 'csrActs to the
absent attorney iB. few bt~-. re-
marks. He mentioned as a particu-
larly striking traite of Judge Crates
his unfailing evenness of temper and
absolute absence of discourtesy toward
opponents no matter how strenuous
the trial battle became.
The full attendance of the bar and
the sincere regret at the death of
Judge Cratic all two years after his
demise evidenced the deep and lasting
impression made by the quaint and
unique character lately so familiar to
the whole country.

THE TEACHERS PAY ENVELOPE
The following editorial is from the
Detroit Journal
Before the bar of common sense and
simple justice, America stands con-
victed of an objectionable sin. That
she is convicted of actual crime is due
solely to the fact that her sin has not
yet been specified in the code of laws.
The men and women who are held
responsible for the citizenship of to-
morrow are paid less than janitors,
scrub-women and street-sweepers The
farmer pays his hired man for feeding
hogs more than the teacher is paid to
instruct and train his children.
In certain city in Illinois the aver
age wages of fifteen miners for one
month last year was S2l7. The aver
age monthly pay of fifteen teachers in
the same town was $55. In another
town, miner who was an enemy alien
drew $2,7O0 last year. The salary of
the high school principal in the same
town was $765 These are typical
cases, and fairly show the comparative
wages of the 100000 school teachers of
America, whose average weekly wage
is Sl2l3.
Herbert A. l.. Fisher, MP, minister
of education of London, says:
1T is to the energy and skill of our
army of teachers that we must look
for the formation of a Democracy
strong enough, and with sufficient
courage, knowledge and intelligence
to bear any strain which the future
may impose upon our Empire"
We Americans have become thor
oughly accustomed to living in fools
paradise. There is no Prussian or Bal
kan menace close at hand, We know
our numbers and strength of material
resources compared with any possible
combination of antagonistic forces in
the Americas. SAFE ana secure, VIC
have been content to sail the seas of
our money-making, blowing our fog
horns of pride and power, and boast
ing always of our "AmeriCanism."
We have gone on in our fools para
disc, prating of wealth and prosperity,
yet handling over the actual making
of American citizenship to people
whom we pay less than we pay com
mon laborers.
America commits an objectionable
sin by demanding workers for the most
technical, skillful and important task
in the world, the making of manly and
womanly American citizens, yet offer
ing these workmen compensation
which does not cover the actual neceS-
sites of life.
