TEACHERS AVERSE
TO JANITOR WORK
PROBLEMS IMPORTANT IN
SOME TOWNSHIPS OF
COUNTY

flushing up" a problem of county
wide Importance doesn't solve that
problem and so, from day to day,
school boards in towns throughout
Marathon county are harrassed by the
question, Does teacher need as
sistance in performing the janitor
work about her school building?"
The argument in some localities
has waxed hot and no general recon-
mendation has emanated from the
county seat which might help solve
the difficulty. School teachers in
some instances have demonstrated
against doing the janitor work in adj
dition to teaching and in some meas
ure the problem is believed to have a
bearing on the shortage of rural school
teach RS.
Works Till Late
y The editor of The Pilot was out in
the town of Easton the other day. He
came upon one honest farmers wife
who said: why the teacher of our
district school doesn't go home some
times until six o'clock / see her go-
ing along about that time frequently
and / know she has to stay there to
do the janitor work. She's got to
sweep up and maybe bring in some
wood and get things ready for the
mornings work
In many townships of the county
the school boards have decided that
they hire the teacher to instruct
their children and not for the pur-
pore of doing janitor work. They
have, therefore, engaged some res
ident near the school to build the
fire in the morning and, in some cas-
es, to sweep the building. This latter
function is not so important as most
of the teachers are willing to see that
their school rooms are properly swept
and busted. The building of the morn
ing fire is the most troublesome thing
about the task of "janitor".
This question is all the more import
ant because in a number of townships
there are more pupils than the school
can adequately care for. Thus in one
township single teacher is expected
to teach over sixty pupils. And in
some Of these cases where there are
excessive enrollments for single
teaoh her, the janitor work is still ex-
peeled.
The school boards intend we'll. They
are always eager to be fair with the
teacher The fault is felt by many
to trace back to the county seat. from
which suggestion one way or the
other should come.

CHILDREN WILL LEARN
USE OF BANK SERVICE

q. Berger. cashier of the Marathon
County bank, and G. Z. Parker, cashier
of the American National bank, in
covering Texas and the town of Wau-
sau, the latter township of which he
will care for practically alone. Mr..
Berger is to civer the schools in the
town, of Flieth. w. A. Koch will cover
the schools of the towns of Stettin,
Maine and Berlin, insofar as it proves
possible for him to do so. The VIII
lagos of Rothschild and Schofield are
10 be cared for by Mr.. Parker.
County Speakers
The rest of the county will be ably
represented by the cashiers of village
banks. At Spencer Owen Boock will
care for the surrounding territory. The
schools of Sratford and vicinity will
be addressed by Theodore Hoffman,
cashier of the Stratford bank. William
C. Seim, as cashier of the Edgar bank
will speak in the Edgar schools and in
the towns of Rietbrock, Cassel, Vein
and Rib Falls. At Marathon, two
bankers will assist in the campaign,
Alex Gertschen and George Ritger,
covering the extensive field there
abouts. S. J. Falck at Unity will cover
the territory around that village as
we'll as Unity itself and at Athens, the
official spokesman will be George Full
mer.
This movement is being carried on
under the auspices of the Wisconsin
Bankers association which has not
only inaugurated the plan in all coun-
ties in Wisconsin, but is suggesting
talks of similar character to be given
in all parts of the United States. That
children have a right to know how
banks work and to learn how to care
for their savings, is felt to be most
important and this series of address,
es. is intended to bring home the fact
that in country or city, the residents
have a vital need for banks and bank
service.
City Program
The city program is already def
nitely fixed Mr.. Kruger speaks at
the high school, lions Parochial
school, the Central School and the
Washington school during October
sMr. Parker at the Business Institute
the Franklin school, and St Michaels
Parochial school, Mr.. Berger at st
boldt school, Mr.. Koch will speak al
the Grant, Lincoln and Trinity church
schools.
Bank Deposits and Checks is the IT,
tie of the first talk. 1t carries one
from the first deposit and the issue oi
bank book, to the use OF the check
book. The initial address explains the
I@statement system" by which the de-
positor is periodically informed of the
amount he has to his credit in the bank
of a specific date The deposit ticket
lis explained as "a list of the various
items that constitute the total amount
of any one deposit" Bank checks are
said to be merely written order on
bank to pay certain sum of money
to somebody. Endorsement of checks
and demand and time deposits are
hthoroughly explained to the children
The addresses of November will deal
with "Bank Loans and Discounts.

The Budget and Taxes

The municipal tax budget is
announced. Citizens of Wausau
will pay dearly again this year
I for the privilege of living where
foresight begins at the wrong
time. The tax amounts to $500
on every 500 of assessed valu-
alton. And, considering the in
crease in property valuations,
this means a very marked in
crease in taxes as the rate is
about the same as last year. This
in spite of the fact that The
Pilot was assured very recently
of determination not to permit
the rate to exceed three cents on
a dollar.
This tax is imposed in spite of
conditions. There has been no
consideration of the fact that
unemployment exists and that
there are many persons in the
city who may be without a
source of revenue at tax pay
ing time.
The foresight of those who
formulated plans is at best tar
dy. More to the point, this re-
adjustment of property valua-
tions might better have been
made in 1916 or 1917 Now is
a poor time to hoist taxes to the
peak. Inasmuch as there has
already been considerable post
ponement in putting finances
right" we believe conditions in
the city would warrant further
postponement.
Why is it that men in public
affairs wait until criticism must
he heaped upon them for doing
same men can not do things
necessary things? Why is it
when the time is ripe and thus
reap the credit for having taken
proper actions at suitable
time? u

A MOST SENSIBLE
AND LOGICAL WAY

The Chevrolet Motor company in 8
recent announcement deals with the
present price problem in a, most sen.
sible and logical way.
1t seems that part of the COM
pany's program is based on the produc'
ton of $4,000 model -Four Ninety
cars. The model is we'll known anC
there are about 100000 in use. The
company proposes to build the $4,000
before August / 1921, and if it reaches
this number, and it has every reason
to believe that it is going to be sue
cessful, each purchaser of an open can
of the Four Ninety type will receive a
refund of 500.
A certificate setting forth the terms
of the plan will be given to each re-
tail purchaser and the total numbe,
of Four Ninety cars produced by the
Chevrolet factories during the perioc
which governs the proposed plan, will
be published not later than August 10
1921.
Those who purchased model -Four
Ninety" Chevrolets under the Chevro-
let Motor company's price guarantee
of last October, benefit by the refund
plan.

irons and the general public alike, re-
trained from making any impulsive
price change. They knew that a dras-
tic cut, based on a guess as to future
conditions could have only one effect
the destruction of the nations buying
power. 1t would tear down public con
tidence and stagnate the movement OF
crops and merchandise. 1t would
slash wages and visit suffering and
hardships on millions of people.
But conditions have changed. Raw
material prices have found new low
levels. Inventories have been read
justed to the bottom of the market and
it is therefore possible for the COM
pany to make a definite proposition
based on quantity production.

NTEW JERSEY, the latest State
~ to enact fire prevention edu-
cation law, is already feel
ing the salutary influence Of this new
study in the schools, although the
law went into effect only six months
ago. According to H. R. Heydon
Secretary OF the New Jersey State
Chamber of Commerce, the law al
ready has resulted in reduction in
the number OF fires, although it re-
quires only one hour of study each
month.
* new spirit is being shown in
community neatness as result OF the
lessons taught" says the New Jersey
official. For example, in one COM
munity where children had formerly
scattered waste paper on the streets
the nuisance has been entirely oblit-
Grated through The teachings, in the
schoolroons, that this constitutes a
fire hazard. This gave the local
