GRIEF FOR LICENSE DODGERS

Secretary of State Fred R. thinner

attention to two important new laws

ton.
Chapter 209 provides that any per

out a license after May first and be-
fore application has been made may be
arrested by any police officer and
brought before any judge of a court 0
record or Justice of the Peace and
upon conviction the court will collect
the license fee impose a fine of not
less than Ten dollars and costs and
collect Two dollars additional which
will be paid to the officer making the
arrest This provision does not apply

ON, WISCONSIN

New Richmond, like a good many
other cities of Wisconsin, has been
facing the problem Of retrenchment.
Taxes are too high; there must be a
cutting down somewhere if the econo-
mic life of the community is not to be
throttled But where?
Well, how about the schools ? There
is no difficulty in showing that they
cost a good deal more than they used
to and it isn't necessary to show in
addition that community has to buy
good deal more education than it
used to.
So New Richmond started in to cut
school COSTS The trail led to the high
school. There were expensive depart
mnts, such as home economics, man
ual arts, music, drawing, teacher train
ing commerce. Why not lop these off,
get back to the three RS and save
money? They were not part of the
curriculum half century ago, anyway
But the mothers wanted their daugh-
ters to take home economics and the
fathers wanted their sons to have
some manual training. Other parents
wanted their children to have CONNER
cial training. And they all wanted
them to have some music and drawing
To lop these branches off the high
school was to cripple it beyond meas
urel and deny their children the edu-
cation that today demands.
The upshot was, New Richmond de-
cided, that while it probably would
have to economic somewhere it could
not order that economy at the expense
of it's children Which is to the credit
of New Richmond
And the experience ought to be use,
full to other cities which are struggling
with retrenchment and where the cry
that "the schools cost too much" is
likely to be made part of the general
economy program.
