SHERMAN KRAUTH WINS
LIMERICK LINE PRIZE

S. L. Krauth Of this city won the
st. Paul Dispatch "Limpin' Linn
rick" prize last Saturday, receiving
a check for $25 on his last line con-
tribution to the uncompleted poem
published Sept. 10.
The prize-winning limerick, as
completed by Mr.. Krauth, is as fol-
lows:
A rainstorm without any rain,
Struck window without any pane,
A man looking out
Looked in with a shout!
II see but | do not seaplane."
DICTIONARIES from Rochester, N.
Y, attending the National conven-
ton, were the judges who awarded
Mr.. Krauth the prize. In acknow-
Lodging the check Mr.. Krauth wrote
the Dispatch as follows:
"After following Linn ricks for a
while it would appear-with all the
good lines sent in-that the judges
would have considerable difficulty
picking a winner and therefore
want to thank them for picking on
me-"
"Lim' ricking" isn't Mr.. Krauth's
only sally into the literary field. He
is author of a phamplet which gives
concise information on Glow To
Catch Big Trout" and no one in this
locality has shown himself better fit
ted as an authority on this particular
subject than Sherman L.

George Kyle is thinking of putting
in some spare time soliciting funds
for the La Toilette campaign-at
least until there is money enough in
the fund to pay the $40 check he
holds. At the time Tom Purtell and
Mr.. Smith, of Eau Claire, were here
to speak in favor Of La Toilette,
Purtell gave a check on a Milwaukee
bank for $40 hall rent; the check has
now been returned stamped 'Not Suf-
ficient Funds" Nobody at all went
to the hall that night-not a soul to
hear about Bob--so Purtell and
Smith came over to the band stand
and spoke there, and Mr.. Smith gave
the band SIS for the privilege, but
gave it in cash. Kyle says he is
sure the condition mo funds is only
temporary, even if he has to pass the
hat housekeeping Valley Sun.

"Ths Necessity Of Schools and School
Needs in the Community" by Lowell
LELAND (SeniorI

No one can doubt that the school IL
an integral part of the community, and
hence Of the nation. The school directs
the life of the country today. To show
what the school may mean to a nation,
take Germany as an example. Before
1914 the Germans, by their school sys-
TEN. inatilled n war spirit into the
minds Of their children. They taught
them that they were race apart. au-
perior to others, destined To rule the
world. No way Of increasing their
power was considered dishonorablc.
They placed the kaiser and their army
above all else. They made their coun-
try huge training camp. And they
also made 1t an object lesson for the
world
On the other hand, the first Puritan
colonists in this country founded their
school system on opposite principles.
They sent forth men noted In every
walk OF life, men with real message
for the world. From their schools
came the men who laid the founGa-
lions of American independence Could
any contrast show better the power for
good or i'll that the school controls?
As part OF the community. q com
munity organization. depending on thu
community, for support. the school
needs that support In more than one
way. We need new school building
new equipment. and dozen other
things whuch we must ask OF the COM
munity: but we have another need
even more essential to the highest sue
cess of the school. We need the home
influence and help OF PARENTS and
friends. How much this means many
people do not realize. Few pupils are
, really interested in school work &c
their parents and friends are not in
terested. If you are not interested
your work shows IL. one teacher alone
can not Keep $50 or more boys and
girls Interested in a subject. There In
not enough time for individual work
with everyone. A teacher can deal in
dividually with only few cases. al
though she might like to work with
the whole class one by one. To have
parents interested is 10 have the stu
cents interested. Such home interest
spurs the student on. lie realizes that
his family expects something from
him. We have heard again and again
i that success In school goes hand In
hand with success In after life. Habits
formed in SCHOOL are habits formed for
life. Perhaps success for most of US
depends on the attitude of our parents
now.
1t IL for this reason that we are glad
to zee interest taken III parent-teacher
associations. fathers clubs and SINH
lar organizations. That In why we like
to have our parents and friends visit
us to see the school In operation. We
know then that they are Interested.
that they will cooperate with US, and
then We may attain higher success.

The course in physical education is

thus rendering him incompetent for his
position.
The first thing which comes to our
mini when we mention physical educa-
tion is the exercising of the funda-
mental body muscles: that n. the arms.

it is not for thcse alone that we exer-

This thimble when in its resting posi-
