girls, with their teachers, from
| Prairie du Sac, La Rue, Baraboo,
Fairfield Excelsior and other town
ships spent Friday in Madison, and
had day overflowing with interest
and instruction, not to mention a
natural amount of WEAKNESS when
/ all was over. They reached Madison
on the early forenoon train and went
at once to the capitol where they
were met by Senator George Staud-
emayer, Assemblyman Carl Koenig
and 0. d. Brandenburg, who put in a
full day with them. Governor Blaine
greeted them with kindly speech in
the executive chamber, saying he had
no doubts that some future governor
was in the party, or perhaps some
girl who would be his successor one
of these years not altogether distant
since now all could vote The beautiful
supreme court room was visited, the
memorial hall in the statehouse where
the war-worn battleflags of wartime
called for special attention, and the
two legislative chambers, both houses
being in session, the senate also in
the parliamentary stage known as the
committee of the whole, the elective
voting machine in the low house
was of special interest and it was
operated several times when the Wis
itors were present.
Next the Latin quarter, was invaded
with thousands of students thronging
by; short walk through the stacks
of the State Historical Society was
taken, the pupils gaining something
of that impression respecting the in
terror details of vast modern lib
rary The skelitonized mastodeon the
meteorites and other geologic wonders
in Science Hall Museum were not
overlooked, nor yet the curiosities in
the biological building. A stop was
made at the great bronze Lincoln on
the upper campus; then for cafet-
eria luncheon in Lathrop hall at 12:45,
and after their crush" forenoon
folks rarely could be hungrier. A
street car to the Villas park ZOO and
after an hour there, back to evening
trains, homeward bound, and happy
but weary. At the zoo the children
were in glee over four tiny baby mon
keys that clung to their mothers,
however, far or high the latter leaped,
and of course they liked the fine big
elephant, Annie Katherine, which Alf
T. Ringing gave to Mr.. Brandenburg
for the ZOO
Next after luncheon, before going
to the zoo, an hour or more was pass
ed in the university exposition in the
gym" where university boys had ex-
pended seven thousand dollars in ar
ranging an extended exhibit illustra-
ting what the university was doing
in science, art and agriculture. There
forked lightning was made; some Of
the boys got silhouettes of themselves
while they waited others saw gatling
gunfire on the lake shore; and yet
others were entertained with exhibits
of domestic science or live pigs or
strange mice being nourished various
ly to demonstrate food values.
Superintendent A. H. Martin accom-
panied the contingent. A little rain
during the forenoon caused no in
convenience.
