RELIGIOUS DAY-SCHOOLS
ARE HELD AT APPLETON

Appleton, Wis, Dec. 13-The plan
for weekday religious education
schools, perfected by Prof. E. E. En-

nations. They meet one hour each
week, children being excused from
regular school work for that time
The courses are so arranged that they
are beneficial alike to Protestant and
Catholic. At Appleton five separate
schools are maintained so that pupils
can attend either united group of
cooperating Methodist, Congregations
al, Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist
Episcopal, German Methodist or Re-
formed churches, or can attend sep

the schools, the purpose of which is,
as the constitution states, ''to stimu-
late and develop in the community
greater interest in and respect for
moral and religious principles Of con-
duct" Each city adopting the plan
perfects an organization with def
mite constitution, and bylaws, and
with lay officers and committees as
well as church heads uniting to direct
the activities. They are continued

Death OF
CHAS. RAGAN

John R. Ragan returned home the
first of this week from Chippewa
Falls, where he attended the funeral
of his brother, Charles. Charles Ra-
gan and his wife had often visited
with his brother, John, in this city,
and was pretty well known to large
number of Wisconsin Rapids people.
He was travelling salesman and was
we'll known all through northern Wis
eonsin as a jolly, cheerful, substan-
tial man.
The day before Charles Ragan died
Mr.. W. F. Kerr called upon him and
had a god visit with him, as they
were longtime friends. We take plea
sure in reproducing what Mr.. Kerr
had to say of Charley Ragan, his old
time friend and companion:
Another of the Grand Old Guard
of Chippewa Falls, another Of the men
who helped in the making of this val
ley's history, has taken the Outward
Track. Charley Ragan is dead.
For some time this man, whom we
all loved, had been failing in health
from week to week, growing feebler
from day to day. But that which we
call the spirit fared up bravely thru
the shadows cast by illness and phys
ical weakness and his smile remained
the rare and sunny Charley Ragan
smile that cheered his friends and
disarmed the very few that essayed
to be his enemies.
A busy life is ended here, and
man who was ever ready for the task
at hand has gone to toll no more. But
he has left behind him many fond
memories and many friends that felt
the magic of his hnadclasp while the
years went trooping by. 1t is such
a legacy that ali should strive I'd
leave, a legacy infinitely more splen-
did than all the cleaning millions
which the rich have left for heirs to
parcel out and squander.
Charley Ragan loved his friends,
and his friends loved him. When a
young man, he threw every atom Of
himself into both his work and his
play AS he grew older he seemed to
realize that our greatest earthly hap
piness comes after work we'll and
eagerly done A salesman Of natural
skill and great experience, he was
known up and down the Chippewa
Valley by thousands with whom ne
had business relations, and those VINO
knew him never forgot him nor his
genial smile. He played the game
from first to last, and played it like
champion.
ITO the wife and children of such
man are left a million priceless
memories.
"To the countless friends of such
man is left the greatest and truest
inspiration known to mortal minds
the inspiration of calm and smiling
courage.
For many weeks before the end
this man who had been SO much a
part of Chippewa Falls and its de-
velopment, this man whose face and
name were so well known in the city
he had loved, knew in his heart that
the end of his earthly voyage was just
around the bend, but the merry smile
and the hearty handshake, the CHEEKY
greeting and the twinkling eyes re-
manned unaltered through it all, and
no physical weakness could subdue
the unfinching spirit of him.
With the passing of such lives
comes to us all the realization that
Faith forever parties the cruel
thrusts Of Sorrow and that Hope and
