Born in Neenah, the foundation of
his musical education was laid in this
state, first in his native town and later
in Milwaukee. Subsequently he went
abroad to become pupil of the great
est of piano misunderstanding of
Vienna. Thirteen years were spent in
Europe as student and concert pianist,
and during that time he made a tour
of most of the countries, appearing re-
pcatedly in nearly all the large cities
and capitals, and winning everywhere
in Berlin, Paris, Copenhagen, Leipsic,
Vienna, the most unqualified praise
from critics and public. His tour eX-
tended from far-away iceland to the
heart of the African desert lie cross
ed the latter by private caravan, camp
ing on a number of the principal GASES,
and appeared in concert in various
cities in Egypt. The Steinway piano
sent out to him by the Steinway repre-
sentatives was drawn by the donkeys
and camels over the sand in broad
wheeled cart. He paid every country
in which he stayed for some time the
compliment of learning its language
and something of its literature and
people. Thus he speaks fluently Eng
lish, German, French, italian, Danish,
and Norwegian. His linguistic accom-
plshments and personal charm have
made him a social favorite, and he
counts among his friends the greatest
celebrities in the world of music and
art, and he has often been the honored
guest of royalty itself, known every

EDUCATIONAL
fBY LILLIAN L. CHLOUPEK)
SALARIES FOR COMPETENT
TEACHERS WILL NOT BE LOW
Erred NEXT YEAR-IT is PROB
ABLE THAT THEY WILL BE
HIGHER.

In the state of Wisconsin every year
hundreds of teachers give up teaching
and their places must be filed by new
people. In most cases these will be
people without experience. There are
many places in the state that realize
the value of an experienced teacher.
They are willing to pay what is neces-
sary to secure them. This will mean,
since there will be fewer experienced
teachers available than there is de
mand for, that salaries viii advance
instead of decline Already there is
evidence that this condition will exist.
Do not be deceived by people who say
there will be no shortage of teachers.
Those people are talking about what
they do not know, or they are willing
to misrepresent The publicity com
mittee desires to give the public the
facts All the evidence indicates that
the salaries of teachers who have had
a llllllNu dllibNlll VI 'AlNAAN IlihoN
be somewhat advanced if they are to
be retained, until they shall have reach
ed the maximum the community should
pay, or the maximum that they can
command in the market. IneXperi-
enced teachers next year will undoubt-
eddy command as high salaries as are
being paid this year,
If there is a general lowering of sal
aries this year, there will be a falling
off in the attendance in institutions for
training teachers. That will mean a
steadily declining supply of qualified
teachers. This is not guess wOrk-it is
a plain statement of facts The com
mittee does not believe that the think
ing people of Wisconsin, that school
boards charged with the responsibility
of administering the schools, will
adopt a policy that will shut off the
supply of teachers and lower the quail
ty of the teaching done in the schools
of the state of Wisconsin-From the
Publicity Committee of the Wisconsin
Teachers Association

Every teacher of Manltowoc county
is asked to contribute a dollar to the
Wisconsin publicity committee. This
committee is the only official mouth
piece of the Wisconsin teaching force
and it should be supported. Manitowoc
county teachers have gained many dol
lars because of the work of this com
mittee and it is our duty to give it sup
port so that the work may be fur
thcred.
The committee sends out circular
letters and several publications such as
"Everybody'S Schools and "The
School Bell" These publications con
tain facts and figures concerning edu-
cation. They are copied in many papers
throughout the state and help to mold
public opinion and create a demand for
better schools, better faculties and bet
ter teachers. Manitowoc county teach
ers responded we'll last year. Let us
come out a hundred per cent strong
with our contributions this year
The city teachers of Manitowoc and
Two Rivers are being asked to make
like contributions. The money will be
turned over to Pres. l.. d. Harvey,
