an abundant supply of we'll trained,
ambitious, intensely interested
teachers. 1t becomes the duty of the
public in consequence of this fact,
to look carefully to the supply. We
should have training schools of high
grade and sufficiently numerous to
afford an adequate output. W:scon-
sin has it's supply of training
schools for teachers, but they are
langu;shing in numbers of students
because salaries have been low and
are still low when compared with
the cost of living, and more immed-
lately because many persons who
would otherwise have attended
training schools have been drafted
into teaching on special licenses to
fill vacancies that could not other
wise be filled. The public should re-
member that nothing can take the
place of a good teacher. Buildings,
books, apparatus, organization, ma
chinery of all sorts Will fail unless
we have real teachers to place in
charge of our children The public
should also remember that good
teachers command good salaries,

Mr.. BLAINE, the newly chosen gov

Mr.. BLAINE, the newly chosen gov
ernor for the state of Wisconsin, has a
big majority to live up to. The vote is
not an endorsement of the Nonpartisan
league; if it were, Thompson would
have been elected. 1t is an endorse
ment of Mr.. Blaine as a satisfactory
representative of the people who choose
to cast straight Republican ticket. 1t
is also choice compliment to Mr.. Len
root that he, in spite of his stand on
the League of Nations proposition and
the Esch-Cummins railroad bill, and in
spite of the formidable opposition of
Senator La Toilette which by no means
is matter of small concern to any man
in Wisconsin who seeks office in opposi-
ton to the wishes of Mr.. La Toilette
the size of the Thompson vote is a
proof of that-was returned to the u.
S. senate by comfortable batch of
votes to the good. The election returns
indicate that large number of people
in the rural parts of the state who for
merly voted with the Socialists have
abandoned this party and supported the
Republican ticket in this election, per-
haps due to the fact that the Nom
partisan league gave it's support to the
Republican ticket. The farmers as a
class are not socialists.

GOOD SCHOOL WEEK.

There IS a growing feeling in
Wisconsin that the general public
is not sufficiently we'll informed
with reference to our schools and
the needs Of the schools. This is a
hopeful sign. 1t is too true of all of
us that we pay attention to our own
particular work, and, to large de-
gree, overlook other matters of
great public Importance. "Good
School Week" has been undertaken
with the idea of having, if possible,
a meeting in every school district in
the state at some time IN the week
beginning November Ia, for the
discussion of present educational
problems and of the general welfare
and progress of school interests.
1t has been forced upon the
attention of thoughtful people that
there are scores and even hundreds
of parents in the state who do not
sufficiently value the opportunities
offered for the education of the
young. The great majority of child
rem drop out of school when they
graduate from the eigth grade, or
even before. In many eases children
could continue their schooling if
they and their parents were suffici-
emily impressed with the worth of
education. The statement is often
made, and sometimes truthfully
made, that the school does not make
a sufficiently strong appeal to the
rank and file of children to make
them desire to remain in school.
They find the school and it's duties
and responsibilities irksome. In such
cases they say that teachers are un-
sympathetic, or that they are in
some respects incompetent, or not
sufficiently interested in their work.
1t IS the belief of many who have
watched the situation carefully, that
there has been growing tendency
on the part of teachers to quit the
work of teaching, or to regard,
while preparing for the life work,
the teaching business as unsatisfac-
tory, and therefore not to be con-
sidered.
1t is impossible to run a school
system that is satisfactory without

Later, the Turks did the same. The

that in some mysterious way the hairs

DR.. Mcdonald has not yet made any
formal report of his work with the

unofficial reports from Honolulu

at the University of California have
discovered that the fatty acids of
chaulmoogra oil are bactericidal to an
