JOINT COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL
NOTES.
BY Louise MilkuIesky and Martha Buc


On Thursday evening Evelyn Walker,
wee tot in the first grade, told us
an interesting story in the assembly
for closing exercises.
A very unique entertainment was
given by the pupils of the Model de-
partment Friday afternoon. The pupils
had formed themselves into two COM
petitive groups without help from the
teachers or students, and gave a liter
airy program which was indeed worthy
Of much praise. 1t showed spirit
lof Independence on the part Of the
children which is enviable.
We, the Training school girls, well
come our new schoolmate and fellow
student teacher, Anna Weber, who en-
rolled on Wednesday.
The senior class debated the follow
ing proposition: Resolved: That a
total Of six months military training
be compulsory for boys between the
ages of eighteen and twenty-one. 2
Gladys Findlay, Dorothy Taylor and
Louise Mikulesky took the negative
side, while Florence Peterson, Rose
Nelson and. Agnes Alaxson argued for
the affirmative. The debate was a
result of work in the civics class. The
affirmative side won the debate.
Our closing exercises are becoming
more and more interesting. One day
this week Alberta Peterson, in an
interesting way, impersonated negro
and sang a negro melody. s,
Mr.. Miles, the local hemp man, who
is also probably the best informed
man in Wisconsin on the hemp indus
try. The seniors viii probably visit
talk on the cultivation and uses of
hemp as it pertains to the local indus
try. The seniors vii probably visit
the hemp factory next week to follow
up Mr.. Miles interesting talk.
Louise Erbe is at present absent from
school on account of illness. Maude
Fritchen was also absent for the same
reason for a few days, but has re-
turned.
Miss Swantz. superintendent Of Racine
schools and Mrs Klema, rural school
supervisor, were recent visitors at our
Training school.
Practice teaching has been complet-
ed by the seniors. For the next four
weeks one hour each day will be de-
voted to observational work in the
Model department. Such observation
work will be followed by conference
each day with Miss Penoyar, the
Model teacher. In this way the seniors
will see classes in which they are in
terested and will be able to ask ques-
tons about things which may not be
clear to them in the teaching work.
The children of the Model school
were very much excited one morning
when they found nest Of baby field
mice. Two were rescured and tenn
porary quarters fitted up for them in
the sand box. Fhe incident has fur
nished work in nature study and the
children are greatly interested
The senior class has selected the
pattern and have received the goods
for their graduating dresses. All will
be made according to the same pattern
and from goods cut from the same bolt
The window stills in the Model room
were lined with May baskets of all
descriptions, which were made by
the pupils in that room.

Roses will be given by the Jolly
Juniors in the Training school gymna-
SUM on the afternoon and in the
