SEVERAL CANDIDATES
SPOKE IN PARK
LAST NIGHT

A good crowd turned out last night
to attend the meeting in the Park.
which was supposed to be kind OF
labor rally, though the. politicians, as
usual. held the boards Rev. Thomas
Mcdowell, of Fort Meade, and Edwin
Spencer both made good talks, and
perhaps we should not call these pol
iticians-not just now, at least-but
the other speakers were office-seek-
ers. Sidney Cats was the princi-
pal speaker, L. W. Bloom and R. l..
Brown also speaking briefly. Cats
was more moderate than he usually
is, and his perfervid oratory did nol
evoke the enthusiasm it once did. He
was, however, gwen very good hear
ing, though not one out Of ten of his
former supporters are now for him
he having alienated them by his many
foolish statements, acts of disloyalty
to them and general disappointing adj
ministration.

This morning both city schools
were adjourned for two hours and
the pupils were marched to the Au-
ditorium where a health film was
shown under the auspices Of the Flor
ida Anti tuberculosis Association.
The picture dealt with the necessity
of fresh air, proper care Of the home,
germs, etc., anG was a very instruc-
tive film not only for children but
adults. 1t took one hour for the long
lines of children to enter the big
Auditorium, and many who saw them
declared it appeared that census

credited with population. Anyway, thu
children enjoyed the outing and many

EDUCATIONAL.
SCHOOL BOARD CONVENTION
(By LILLIAN L. CHLoUpEK)

The convention was success from
the standpoint of attendance in spite
of the fact that a number of envelopes
had been sent out by mistake without
the notices.
Rural School Inspector A. A.
Thompson of Madison spoke on school
attendance, consolidation of rural
schools and county uniformity of text
books. Miss Elizabeth Marquardt,
county supervising teacher, had an ex-
hibitiOn of good seat work which she
explained, and Prin. Christensen of
the Training School addressed the con-
yention on identifying school grounds.
The question box was an interesting
feature and caused some discussion,
One of the best features Of conyen-
ton of school board members in Mani
towOc County is the fact that questions
are asked and comments are made
after speaker has presented subject.
1t is inevitable that a speaker who
speakes upon conditions as they exist
over the entire state makes some state
ments that do not apply to our special
county The experienced members at
the convention ought not allow wrong
impressions of our county to go out
with the new school board members.
The first meeting of the County
Board of Education elected to select
text books was held at the Court
House on Saturday, October 23rd.
The oath of office of the members was
taken and filed with the County Clerk.
The board then organized by electing
Mr.. Meisnest president and Miss Chou
pek, secretary The secretary was in
Structed to write at once to various
book companies for samples of their
best school text books and also to
other counties who have county uni
formity, for the selected lists of books.
1t was decided to work first on supple
mentary readers, so schools who need
to buy these books this year will have
the advantage of buying books that
will be on the selected list. The next
meeting of the board will be held at
the Training School Rooms on Friday,
November 18th.
