TRAINING SCHOOL
ISSUES CATALOG
Racine KenOsha County
Teachers Institution
Issues Publication.
SHOWS ITS SUCCESS

The Racine-Kenosha Training School
for Teachers over at Union Grove has
issued catalog, copies of which were
received in Kenosha today. 1t is a
most interesting booklet and shows
that the inter-county institution has
attained large measure of success in
the five years in which it has been in
operation. The catalog sets forth the
purposes of the school, briefly stated
as follows:
Purposes of the School.
l. To prepare young people for
teaching rural schools.
2. To benefit the common schools
by filling them with trained teachers
8. To offer to prospective teachers
in this section of the state and par
ticularly in Racine and Kenosha coun-
ties an opportunity to meet the mini
mum requirements of the law at a
minimum of cost to themselves and at
a school within easy access of their
homes.
One, two and t1ree-year courses are
offered respectively to High school
graduates, those having one or two
years of High school work, and te
eighth grade graduates.
Increased Requirements.
While Wisconsin has constantly in
creased its requirements for teaching
it has also seen to it that young PEG.
pie complying with those requirements
be supplied with better form Of Ger.
tifcate. In line with this we note the
exceptional advantages offered to grad.
yates of this school; they receive what
is termed first grade certificate. This
certificate, the catalog states, is good
for five years, but that is not all. When
this five-year period has been com
pleted, the county superintendent has
full authority to issue new first
grade certificate for another five years
This procedure can be kept up indef-
initely, hence the holder really re-
ceives what is essentially life-certi-
fcate. 1t is also noted that graduates
from this school are legally qualified
for either rural or state graded schools
and that High school graduates receive
full credit in state Normal for work
done in the training school.
Best in the State.
The Racine-Kenosha training school
has the reputation of being the finest
of its kind in the state. That the work
of this school is substantial and prac.
teal is evidenced by the fact that il
has within its walls model rural
school of six grades and that student
teachers are given not only all that is
best by way of theory and method, but
also actual experience under skilled
supervision. This is called practical
teaching"
The graduates of this school this
year will receive an average salary OF
more than 500 per month. Young
people looking for a pleasant and
profitable profession should not over
look the new and splendid opportuni-
ties opening up in the teaching world
and anyone planning on a teaching ca
reer could not do better than to take
the initial step in the Racine-Kenosha
Joint County Training School for
Teachers.

GET MCHENRY
GRANDF FORKS
Alleged Con" Man Is I'm
der Arrest at North
Dakota City.
FLEECEDDOCTORSHERE

J. M. McHenry, clever con man, who
is alleged to have worked in Kenosha
in December of last year and who is
declared to have taken lot of easy
money out of the city with him, is
under arrest at Grand Forks, N. D.,
according to telegram from Sheriff
c. C. Stewart of that county received
by Sheriff Joseph Meyer this morning.
The Grand Forks officials have asked
whether or not the Kenosha officials
want McHenry returned to Kenosha
for trial. The telegram would indicate
that McHenry has made confession
to the officials there as it is stated that
he worked in Kenosha on December 4th
of last year and that on that date he
secured seventy-fve dollars in cash
from several Kenosha doctors after
selling them contracts with Detroit
company by which they were to buy
auto repairs and accessories at cost.
No Warrant Here.
No warrant was ever issued for the
arrest of the man McHenry in Keno
sha, but the records of the city show
that about the time mentioned in the
telegram man was working here with
the same kind of a game which was
attributed to McHenry. 1t is said that
half dozen of the doctors of the
city bought the Certificates" in the
Detroit company and that when they
found that there was no company in
Detroit bearing the name mentioned
they simply forgot" all about it and
did not make a complaint to the police.
If these people desire to have part
in the prosecution of McHenry they
are instructed to get into touch with
the sheriff at once.

sas and the season vii be in full spring in that state by June 20, ac- cording to federal and state agricul- turai authorities.
 Oklahoma wheat went into the har- vest With a condition estimated by the state and federal cooperative crop reporting serice at s3 per cent of a normal It was expected at that time that 35,000,00o bushels of grain would be harvested, as compared with an es, timate of 27ooO.o0o bushels a month previous
 The problem of storing the larger part of the 1920 grain crops in the state confronts the farmer this year, owing to an acute car shortage. A state wide campaign has been con- ducted to interest bankers and husi- ness men in financing the farmers to enable them to construct adequate storage facilities. Twentv-five thou sand new elevators are needed to hold the new crop, according to John \. Whitehurst, president of the state board of agriculture. and 0,000, ,000 bushels of the 1919 crop still remain to be moved.
