WILL GET NEW BIDS
Firms Who Submitted Figures To
Board OF Education VIII Send In
New Ones Next Tuesday

The Sagola Township Board Of Ed
ueation decided at its meeting last
saturday night TO have new bids sub
mitted for the proposed school build
ing. The firms who submitted fig
unSE Originally were notified OF the
Wishes OF the board and it Is expected
that new figures Will be on hand next
Tuesday evening. when the bids will
be opened and the Job awarded.
The reason for this action Is that
prices on materials have dropped ma
terially since the original bids we're
submitted and the board thinks that
the district should get the benefit OF
the drop.
Owing to the delay in placing the
bonds the bids were not opened when
submitted. They were held until
now and will be returned to the bid
ders when new ones are presented.
The board also decided to change It's
mind about the school in Wells dis
trict. AS stated some time ago II
was decided to haul the children to
Sagola. The board fears that the
transportation will be too irregular to
allow OF the pupils being transported
successfully and for that reason they
decided to have school there again.
Mrs. Whifler was hired TO teach
the school There IS complete e.
quipment on hand so all that is need
ed is the teacher.
Schools will open all throughout
Sagola township on Tuesday. Septem-
Der Monday being a holiday.

BASKET BALL

Saturday was another big basketball
day. In the afternoon the local high
school lost to Two Rivers high, Is to
In. In the evening the local crack
team, the Karstedts, won easily from
Ripon, ~ toll, while the minor game
between the Manitowoc and Two Riv-
ers militia teams broke up in a row.
The high school game was some reg
ular basketball. The star OF each team
was Stangel. The cousins fought
brilliantly and gamely, each for his
own side. Winning the game would
have put the team into the state tour
nament and they struggled hard. They
led at half, to and in the second
half ran the lead up to II to 10, but
in the last ten minutes the visiting stu
dents smothered them.
In the evening the Karstedt's had
Kastner of the Milwaukee Bright
Spots playing at center, but they need
not have been afraid They could have
won without the imported star They
led, 26 to Q, at the half and were never
in danger.
In the preliminary game the local
soldiers led the Two Rivers cavalry
men IA to Z in the first half In the
second the score got to p to q. There
was dispute on foul and as the
Two Rivers team were quitting the
floor and before the whistle Manitowoc
threw a basket, making it % to 81.
The referee forfeited the game to
Manitowoc. We do not know the
merits of the controversy but it is
poor craftsmanship anywhere, any
time to refuse to abide by the decisions
Of chosen officials.
The Karstcd's, the Manitowoc "city"
team, defeated the Chiffon team at
Chiffon Monday evening, 81 to H.
They had no difficulty and at the half
point lead 20 to L. In the second half
they worked only about hard enough
TO keep comfortable lead, The team
lined up; Marshek, Tomchek, Basel,
Anthem and Hanson.
The high school freshmen defeated

Rivers Monday evening the New York
Nationals, a travelling aggregation of
stars, defeated the Two Rivers Indus
tries five l8 to II. Two Rivers led at
the half time, 10 to 9. Toward the
end the visitors with one point lead
killed time to keep the score at Is to
II and succeeded In the preliminary
the Hamilton team beat the Kewaunee

EDUCATIONAL.
(By LILLIAN L. CHLoUPEK)

/ The regular preliminary contests in
! Oral and Written Spelling Adding,
Practical Arithmetic, Language, and
I Forty-fve Combinations will be held
in the various towns within the next
two or three months. Those contests
need not determine who should enter
the county contest, for any school may
enter one contestant in each county
contest but this is a good place to de-
termnc the ability of the prospective
contestant for the county contest,
enabling the teacher to decide whether
it would be worth while to send the
pupil. Every teacher should encourage
the pupils to take part in these town
contests. The language contest this
year will be much the same as it has
been in the past years The children
will choose the proper words in com
mon sentences. The words to be chosen
are those often mis-used in ordinary
conversation. A new feature of the
language contest will be the punctuat-
ing of a paragraph of simple compo-
sition. This punctuation will take in
the uses Of periods, commas, exclama-
ton points, question marks, as well as
the insertions of capital letters in the
proper places.
A forty-minute literary program
should be prepared. 1t is better to
have few well prepared parts than
a long undressing program Also
keep in mind the fact that pupils on
the program must speak very much
louder than they do in class recitations
or even in school programs because of
the larger halls and noisier crowds.
The following teachers will call a
meeting Of the teachers of their re
spectiye towns and act as charmen
All rules for contests, arrangements
for programs, hall, and conductors
should be definitely settled at this
meeting. Please call the meeting at
some central point easily accessible to
all the teachers preferably on a We'd
ncsday or Thursday of the week.

wishing to represent the county in the
