County Educational News.
The Junior Red Gross.

Some thirty of the rural schools Of
Iowa county have enrolled in the
Junior Red Cross. We hope that the
remaining ninety may soon follow.
1t costs but fifty cents to enroll the
whole school and the Junior Red
Cross News is sent to each school en-
rolled. Some of the pupils have be-
come SO interested in this little mag.
azine that they are wanting to sub.
scribe for themselves.
The schools that have enrolled
have the privilege of taking part in
the Junior Red Cross School Corres4
pondence. Interesting letters have
been exchanged with the children Of
Albania. Checho-Slocakia, England,
Holland, Hungary, Italy, Roumania,
Spain and Switzerland in Europe;
with Canada; with South Africa;
with Alaska; with Hawaii and many
others.
This work means a new interest
al IcLIcI WIlLluS LO the pupllS,
broader interest to the school, new
pleasure in work to the teacher, en-
lightened citizenship and pride to
community, better Americans to the
Nation.
A folder is being sent to all en-
rolled schools. On page nine the
teacher will find rules and definite
plans for the work, we hope that
every school may take up the portfO-
lilo plan and prepare snapshots Of
classes, teachers, buildings and activ-
tiles to make this portfolio mean to

Report of Red Cross Work.

The following is the report of the
Red Cross work for the month end
ing November Goth. Ten branch Wis
it's have been made and five days
spent in Milwaukee in the interest of
a. dependent child, twenty office calls
have been received, sixty-five home
and business calls made, fifty-five
letters sent from the Office, five fam
lilies have been given old clothing,
three schools visited in the district
having a measles epidemic. In one
of these the health officer reported
forty-two homes placarded in his
township At one school a child was
so near blind that he had to feel his
way about the school room. Three
committee meetings have been at
tended in different parts of the coun-
ty. One of these consisted of rep,
resentative from each church to col
lect old clothing and act as relief
copmittee in the community. Twenty
service men have received Red Cross
service during the month in matters
regarding insurance, lost discharge,
vocational training, hospital treat
ment and compensation. One folder
just received from the Veterans
Bureau requests report on fourteen
service men located in various parts
of the county. This means a person
al interview with each of them. The
Travellers Aid Society requested re-
port of two girls recently arrived
from Europe, as to their safe arrival
and welfare. A talk on Red Cross
work of the county was given by re-
quest before the County Board and
also a church organization. Eight
boxes of old clothing has been sent to
the Greecian sufferers.

One Country Teacher.

A little slip of a girl, just % years
old, went to teach in a certain Wis
consin school district in the southern
part of the state. She had ideas of
her own as to what a teacher could
do. She felt that the teacher should
be community leader outside of
school hours, as we'll as a teacher of
children for six hours each day.
The job-was new and she took
time to study the community in
which, she had come to live. She
found that the young people had just
one standard form of amusement
dances held in the neighboring town,
dances which were unchaperoned and
invariably lasted until daylight the
next morning. Besides that a mis-
sionary society connected with
church met once month.
Being an old-fashioned girl and a
believer in wholesome amusements.
the doughty little teacher determin-
ed on her plan of action. The old
time stunts were to be restored. First
was to be a community club to meet
in the schoolhouse once in two
weeks. The first program included a
debate between four of the leading
school patrons on the question of
whether the district needed a new
school.
There was hot time at that de-
bate. All the people came for miles
around and every inch of room in the
schoolhouse was jammed. The neigh
bors met each other, some of them
for the first time in years. There
was much hand shaking, much good

FOR A NEW HIGH SCHOOL
AND GYMNASIUM
ACTION TAKEN BY THE MINERAL POINT BOARD
OF EDUCATION

The Board of Education after care
full deliberation rented the EpwOrth
Gymnasium for school use during
the winter months. The high school
building is not equipped with gym
nasium so it was necessary to either
rent the Epworth gymnasium or have
the high and grade students depriv-
ed of the physical development de-
rived from playing basket ball and
also have the schools suffer loss in
school spirit. which athletics brings
to a community. Many individuals
are of the opinion that the chief need
of new school building lies in the
lack of a gymnasium.
This is only one of the needs. The
present building is too small to ac-
comodate an enrolment of over 200
high school students as it was plan
ned for classical high school with
maximum of $50 high school stu
dents. No provision was made in
the original plans for courses in
manual training, domestic science,
shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping,
chemistry or biology. The manual
training and domestic science depart
ments are housed in basement rooms
which were intended to be used as

AS 1T SHOULD BE

Announcement is made elsewhere
in this paper of the observance in
Mineral Point of american Educa-
tional Week" This is as it should
be. 1t is right and proper for the
teachers of our schools to become
leaders in efforts to create and fos-
ter community interest in move
ments which promote intelligent cit
izenship. Teachers are indeed ma
ton builders. The young people
they are training today are to be the
upholders of the nation in the future.
A community acts wisely when it
looks we'll to it's schools.

storerooms. The commercial depart
ment is housed in a room which was
originally intended to be used as a
third grade room. Biology is at
present taught without laboratory
facilities, in the sewing room in the
basement. Chemistry and physics
and general science are taught in the
same room which serves both as a
laboratory and a recitation room. An
exceptionally high grade of work is
done in our schools but with more
modern equipment, and even better
grade of work can be accomplished.
Mineral Point needs a new school
building to provide facilities for
physical education, to provide room
for goth century high school work
and to relieve grade pupils from
study in the fourth ward school
building which adequately met the
needs of education in the last CEN
tury, but which has now served it's
purpose and should be vacated in ia
vor of a modern building that is pro-
perly ventilated, properly lighted
and adequately equipped to provide
teaching facilities in order to train
the boys and girls to take their place
as the leaders in Mineral Point in
1850 and 1875.

With the Wisconsin Editors.

''In nothing has there been a more
notable development than in news
paper advertising" writes the sage
of the Dells, J. E. Jones of The Kill
bourn Weekly Events.
Gwen 10 years ago the average
country merchant if he spent any
thing for newspaper ads limited it to
SIS or Sc year, and the average
small town paper seldom had more
than four columns of advertising.
Now papers in towns of less than 500
carry each week from eight to twelve
columns, while city papers often ex-
ceed 100 columns.
''Thirty-five years ago an order for
a column ad in the Kilbourn paper
upset the shop for whole month,
and about that time a merchant or
dered whole page. For several
months it was thought the editor
would have to be taken to santa
rum. For most of the last year The
Events has carried from 20 to 40
columns of advertising. This is not
just spasmodic movement, either.
1t is an educated awakening to the
power of the newspaper ad in draw
ing trade. Customers are alive to
the fact that the merchant who has
bargains and wants their trade is
willing to relate it in the most effec-
tive manner>
"True, there is occasionally mer-
chant who says he does not need to
advertise, Everybody knows where to
find him. But he does not realize
his mistakes until the sheriff sale
and the moss-covered threshold end
the chapter. Either the merchant or
the town that gets anywhere these
days does so through newspaper ad-
vertising."

SHOWING BETTER
PICTURES.


= 1t is gratifying to know that pro-
prietors of moving picture shows are
aiming to meet the demand for bet
ter class of pictures. Here the view
which the Springfield (Mass.) Re-
publican takes of the matter:
"Mr. Hays gives assurance that
1.-The motion picture is coming
through on the highway which leads
to better pictures" Probably few
will disagree with them. Room as
there is for Improvement, the present
is in pleasing contrast with the not
distant past

FOR TWENTIETH CENTURY
SCHOOL BUILDING

In an article which appears on this
page of The Democrat today some
very good reasons are given why
Mineral Point should have a new
High school building. Forward
Mineral Point" is a good slogan. And
the best evidence that we can give of
our purpose to go forward is for us
to provide adequate school facilities
for the young people of the city and
of the country around about us. Not
to do this, would be to move back
ward and not forward.

RECKLESS MOTORING.

We are reading daily of the killing
of people by reckless motorists. Here
in Mineral Point we are particularly
fortunate in that but few accidents
have occurred from fast or careless
driving. But there is always need of
caution. Often cars are driven
through the streets and on the high
ways at such a rate of speed that the
wonder is that accidents do not
oftener occur.

A Thanksgiving Thought.
"Said old Gentleman Gay,


If you want to be happy
Give something away"
How true! Will you join us the
coming year by taking an invoice of
all you own, set aside a certain per
cent of it to create fund, and then
add to it the same per cent of all you
earn each month to help others? :?
Less favored ones? If you will try
this year you will give more next
year. If you do this you will never
go back to the old way of living.
You will give thanks next year be-
cause you believe and practiced the
promise-"It is more blessed to give
than to receive" A Tither

To do this the bankers of this
state are asked to raise $4,000 for
promoting expenses. This promoting
is to put this plan up to the farmer
who will be asked to contribute his
bit to cover this advertising plan,
and when this plan is presented to
the farmer to advertise his product it
| will mean only his giving two days
milk a year. This will raise the
100000 needed and will mean at
least an extra five or eight cents over
the market. This will bring into this
state at least $2O,OO0,O00 more than
we are now receiving for our dairy
products.
Mr.. Bartlett also advocates the use
of more milk and butter in our
homes and to discourage the use of
any milk or butter substitutes.

Address by Professor d. H. Otis,
Madison, Wisconsin. His Subject:
"The Banker-Farmer Exchange"
This exchange is a branch of the

fees at Madison.
Professor Otis explained the work
ing of the Exchange, how they list
for sale live stock of Wisconsin far
mers through the local banks, and in
this way fill orders from buyers most
of whom come from out of the State,
He read letter after letter show
ing that the Exchange is sending
cattle to all parts of the United
States, and for the farmer to receive
this service all he has to do is to see
his banker, list his stock, but this
does not in any way prevent HIM
from selling privately if he chooses.
The Banker-Farmer Exchange is not
only a selling agency but a medium
for our farmers to purchase cattle
for the Exchange always has listed
the best of Wisconsin live stock for
sale so that any farmer wishing to
purchase can secure through his To-

that way buy the best with prices
which are right.
Professor Otis also called our at
tention to the wide step made in this

supply. His message to Iowa County
is to clean up on T. B.

of the citizens to the state law and

trouble and made it imperative to re-
peat the law SO that there may be no

during fire, and automobiles should
drive to one side of the road and al
