SHOULD LEARN
RULES OF ROAD
AUTOISTS OUGHT TO HEED
LAWS REGARDING
DRIVING

1t is a wise thing FOR the motorist
to familiarize himself at this time
of the year with Wisconsin's laws gov
erning automobiles and the driving Of
them. Not infrequently is it the case
that person is apprehended not be-
cause he intends to violate the law,
but because he is unacquainted with
its stipulations. The observance of
rules of the road is comparatively
easy and assures drivers safe pass
age everywhere without interference
by the law.
Chief Thos. Malone declares that
familiarity with the law is mighty ne
cessary for every motorist.
The passing of another vehicle is
the first rule of the road that new
driver ought to know. 1t is an invari-
able rule that in meeting another ve-
hicle, the driver turns to the right
One should always stop at the rear
of street car when it is taking or
discharging passengers. Ample warn
ing should be given before backing
a car.
Another strict rule is stopping on
the right of the curb. 1t is matter
dent and to render what assistance II
possible. To turn the driver shoult
extend his hand. When turning L
the right, turn as near to the corner
as possible.
At any street or highway intersec-
tion, the motorist has the right of way
over every vehicle approaching from
the left except where a police officer
is in actual charge at the intersection
Street cars have right of way at cross
roads and cross-streets over all We
hicles. When the motorman signals
turn out.
Automobiles may be driven at rate
of thirty miles per hour except with
in the limits of city, town or village
where the state law prohibits q great.
er rate than fifteen miles an hour. Ar
exception is made in communities
where the buildings are more than 200
feet apart. Here twenty miles an hour
is permitted. 1t is unlawful to pass
any other vehicle going in an oppo-
site direction faster than ten miles
per hour If more than three feet can
not be left between vehicles.
The headlight law is at present
probably the most ignored of all. Ac-
cording to Wisconsin's statutes head.
lights shall throw not more than SOC
candle power seven feet to the left
and no less than 1900 candle power
seven feet to the right. Accordinfl tC
Mr.. Malone the danger OF glaring head
lights can be avoided IL the motorisi
will ground the focus of his lights.

What long, long time fifty years
is! Yet, to one who has always
worked faithfully, tirelessly, day in
in the education of young people, II
seems but q day. And Wausau to-
day may proudly claim for its own q
man who is probably northern Wis
consin's oldest teacher, In point OF
service, and who still continues with
refreshing vim and youthfully aggres-
sive points of view, to win his stud
ents and to accomplish fine results
in the Wausau public schools.
Pioneer in Woods
That man is George X. A. Shields.
With the end of this school year, it
will be fifty years since Mr.. Shields
commenced HIS professional career as
a pioneer in the woods OF Wisconsin
where schools were small, equipments
we're meagre and where students were
foreigners, unable to speak the Eng
lish language for the most part. Twen-
ty-five of the fifty years, Mr.. Shields
has spent I'm the public schools of this
city, always in charge of ungraded
school work and hundreds of peo-
pie varying In age from ten to fifty
years, remember his careful supervi-
sion and his ennobling influence when
they studied under him,
Always alert to the advance In ed
ucational methods, yet holding ardent
ly to the best of the old time fash
ions of teaching, and never failing
to win the confidence OF all OF his
pupils, Mr.. Shields finds with each
class new and interesting cases. His
faith in youth is steadfast and the
students are never betrayed by him.
Thus, teaching for Mr.. Shields be-
comes joy. To him teaching was an
art and as an art II won his undivided
attention, calling into play those fine
qualities Of sympathy and understand
ing combined with an ability to COM
pei obedience and to get lessons
across"

FItieth Year as School Teacher

Shields commenced to teach, his first
school being the term of 1S71-1S72 in
what was then the town Of Berlin,
Marathon county, now in Lincoln
county district No. 8. The school was
located in a little log cabin, far off
the beaten trail, surrounded by q
great hardwood forest. There were
but seventeen pupils, none of whom
could speak English. What smatter-
ing they gained of the language was
given them by Mr.. Shields, although
out of school German was the spoken
language Of the community. The term
was naturally short one, lasting on
ly five months and not commencing
until November, for in those pioneer
days children were expected to work
on the farm. He taught summer
school in the town of Easton in 1872
and then for four years was located
In the town of Stettin, six miles north
of Marathon on the Range Line road
where there we're twenty children. In
the following years Mr. Shields taught
