The school board was in busy session
last night in discussing the business
problems confronting the school sys-
ten of Kenosha One of the mem
bers of the board made report on
the recent trouble in the High school
when the fellows involved had inflict-
ed their own punishment. The pyschol-
ogy of the self-inflicted punishment
had had its marked effect on the be-
havior of the fellows according to the
board member, and the punishment
he stated would soon be over
Hire School Dentist
The board then discussed thorough
ly the advantages of having a dentist
who could have entire supervision over
the teeth of the school children Of Ke-
nosha This step has been discussed
by leading educators all over the coun-
try and it is the consensus of opinion
that money spent on dental education
is not unwisely thrown away. The
health and sanitation committee rec
commended that DR.. Raymond w.
Hamm be employed for ten hours a
week, the ten hours to be divided into
two hour periods each school day.
The city nurses will continue in
their inspection Of the health and com
fort IF the school children and will re-
port the matters found not to their
recommendations to Miss Gabrielson of
the Kenosha Service League. Miss
Gabrielson will then get in touch with
DR.. Hamm regarding the matter It
is the boards plan to let the nurses
make their recommendations to the
school children concerning the care of
the teeth. In case any dental serv-
ices are required, the child has the
option of going to the family dentist
to have the work done. In case the
pupil is not able to financially meet
the dental bill, DR.. Hamm will per-
form the necessary dental work free
of charge. In case that DR.. Hamm is
not required the full ten hours for
dental work, he was instructed by the
board to conduct dental lectures be-
fore the school children of Kenosha.
Board Names krautSch.
The board was slightly in disagree
ment over the choosing of successor
of Joseph Scholey, deceased, who re
Gently held the position as superin
tendent of janitors. The question was
thrashed out at length by the various
board members and the matter, after a
maze of parliamentary procedure, came
to vote and it was decided by a vote
of to in favor Of hiring Ernst
Krautsch, as Mr.. Scholey's successor.
Mr.. Krautsch has been in the employ
Of the Kenosha schools for fifteen
years in the capacity of janitor. He
has performed faithful service during
that time as janitor of the Durkee
school. Mr.. Krautsch has his license
as competent civil engineer and lit
was the idea of the building and
grounds committee that the position
should go to the person having the
longest period of service, and possess
ing the necessary qualifications to fill
the position. Mr. Krautsch has had
mechanical experience, it was stated,
and is able to take the initiative in
seeing that the buildings and furnaces
with additional equipment of the
schools are kept up. The salary was
fixed at $1,000 year.
Turn Down Simmons Site.
Other business coming up was quick
ly disposed of and it did not take the
board long to vote the hiring of an
additional bookkeeper to help Mr..
Glerum whip his books into shap for
the auditor. Mr.. Pfennig of the Sim
mons estate appeared before the
board and wished to know the pleasure
of the school board in regards to pur-
chasing the old Simmons site for
school purposes. The matter received
very little discussion and as it was
intimated that the board did not de-
sire the property Mr.. Pfennig with
drew his offer to the board
1t was voted to send Mr.. Tremper to
the National Educational meeting at
Atlantic City in February.
