COMETHING TO THINK
~ ABOO By F. A. WALKER

You may daub a canvas with color,
sail boat on an unruff1ed stream.
sing a commonplace song which the
boys of the street whistle without
missing note, play the piano. do ex-
quisite embroidery work in imitation
of the piece before you, but if you wish
to excel beyond the mere copyist and
become master in every sense of the
word, you must keep knocking.
In matters of art and intellect,
there is no other way to improve or
advance except by going often to the
door of Wisdom and picking up knowl-
edge first hand.
You may be tempted to hint that
this requires too much work, too
many long hours of studious applica-
ton to things with which you feel you
are already intimately acquainted, but
II you will march out your produc-
uons on dress parade and line them
up side by side with others, you will
not be long in discovering defects
which may sicken your heart
But if you are made of the right
material, and have within your breast
an infiexible determination to go to
the top, such comparisons will not be
odious.
1t is only by hearing superior mu-
sic, or by seeing masterpiece in
painting or sculpture, that we learn
to know the inferior and thus gain an
eminence where we find an inexpres-
sible pleasure in imparting our hard
earned knowledge to others.

QGf.D!;RR. f.!; R.,n.
is IT THATCHER?

THERE are several names begin
L ming in Thack and Thatch that
recall to mind a trade that was once
usual but which today has practically
passed out Of existence. This is the
trade of making thatch roofs or
thatching. Thackeray and Thackwray
probably meant thatched-way. Thack-
well meant thatch-well and was prob
ably applied to one who was reputed
to be good thatcher. Thake and
Theak mean simply thatch while
Thacker, Theaker and Thackster, are
variations of Thatcher.
The first of the name here was
Thomas Thatcher, first minister of
Old South church in Boston His fa-
ther was Peter Thatcher. who was
rector of St Edmunds parish in Sails
bury, England. Thomas came in 1888,
went first to Weymouth and then to
Boston
ROSE-There are many possible DER
ivatiOns for this name. In fact there
are many different Rose families,
which may have gained the name in
many different ways In this country
of late years Rose has been taken as
a shortened form of many German
names beginning with Rosen, such as
Rosenburg. Rosenbaum, names usual
ly possessed by Hebrews However
Rose is a good old English name. 1t
is sometimes akin with Row, when it
is descriptive local name Again it
may have been derived from a first
name Rose or Rosamond Often it was
a sign name. John at the Rose, for
instance, would have been trades
man who did business in shop at the
sign of the rose

KNOCK AT THE DOOR

VOU cannot hope to gain entrance
to friendship except by knocking
at her door with the courage and cour-
tesy which invariably insure admit
tance.
And this is equally true of every
thing of worth in life, quite regard
less of the opinions of those who are
prone to think otherwise.
II you would be on intimate terms
with Wisdom, you must knock at her
golden door every day.
You may rail at the idea, but If you
miss a day or two week you will
find when you go to call again that
some one more persistent has been
ahead of you, and picked the choicest
flowers in the front garden.
In all that concerns life, especially
the vital things, if you would sit with
those who occupy the front pews, wear
the best clothes lock arms with high
society, know how to entertain a
prince or a pauper without lofty af-
fectation or mOngrel condescensiOn,
you must first knock at the door and
gain proficiency by frequent knock
ings and regular visits.

Franking Privileges

The privilege of sending and re-
ceiving mail free of postage was once
enjoyed by the President of the Unit
ed States, vice president, heads Of de-
partments, senators and representa-
tives and other officials of the gov
ernment during their. official terms.
For time all former Presidents also
had this right, but by an act of 1873
the privilege was abolished By later
acts it was conferred on all officers
of the government in the case of
official correspondence. In 1895 mem
bers of congress were allowed this
privilege in their official correspond

COOLEST IN YEARS

With a far heavier covering of snow
than is usual in December, accompan
led with a temperature chat Rugged
twenty below zero for a week or more
previous to and following Christ
mas. it can not be said that the old
fashioned Christmas is thing un-
known to the present generation. In
fact, December of 1924 will go down
in history as one Of the coolest
known in Wisconsin in great many
years. Considering the probability
that January and February will live
up to their regulations for being re-
gular winter months and while they
may be unpleasant and expensive
ones to the average householder, it
is safe to presume that everything
may be for the best in the end and
that the coming months may be the
forerunners of an exceptionally good
season for every one.

i. w. Gives Valuable
Aid to School Boards
UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT HAD
MORE THAN 600 CALLS TO
SUPPLY TEACHERS

More than 900 calls for teachers in
high schools, vocational schools, jun
ior schools, elementary schools, nor
NAL schools, and colleges in the
state of Wisconsin, have been handled
so far during this academic year by
the committee on high school rela.
tions Of the University of Wisconsin
according to data compiled by Prof. 4.
l.. Jones chairman Of the committee.
This figure does not include a large
number of calls received from outside
the State.
The largest number of requests for
teachers came from high schools and
included calls for superintendents and
principals. English teachers were in
greatest demand and more than 10
requests for them head the list; his
tory and mathematics are next in line,
with SIS and Ga respectively. Many
calls were received for Latin, science
music, French, home economics, and
physical education teachers.
Other subjects for which teachers
were asked included agriculture, bio
logy, botany chemistry, citizenship,
cvics, commerce, drawing, economics
education, general science, geography
library, physics, physiology, penman
ship, spelling and public speaking.
A teacher for combination of two or
three subjects is often requested, and
some Of the popular combinations are
drawing and music, geography and
history, English and history, English
and foreign language, mathematics
and science, physical education and
some other subjects, etc
Seven requests for men athletic
coaches were received. There were
about twice as many requests for wo-
man teachers as for men.

NORMAL SCHOOL SURVEY

The Milwaukee State Normal
School wants to know more concern
ing the localities from which its stu
dents come and would like these To-
calities to know of the achievements
of their students at the Normal. To
facilitate this work, survey has
been completed whereby the students
in attendance are classified according
to state and county.
Students are selected from each
state and county to form an organiza
ton of all the students from their
locality with the hope that they may
keep the school in touch with the
home activities and keep those at
home advised as to the achievements
of their representatives at school He
porters are selected from each COM
munity whose duty it is to supply the
local papers with regular news service
The survey shows that Of the 1119
students enrolled, 1867 come from
Wisconsin; 80 from Michigan; s
each from Iowa and Illinois; each
from Montana and North Dakota, and
from Canada. The large and diver
sified enrolment is partly explained
by the appeal of the special depart
mental work, the location of the Nor
NAL in large city and its convenient
railroad facilities.
Though a comparatively large per
centage of the students from Wiscor
sin come from territory Immediately
adjacent, the survey shows 81, of the
II counties of the state represented
The distance from the Normal does
not seem to be the all determining
factor, counties in every part of tn
state being represented.

GREETINGS TO FROZEN EAST

Mr.. and Mrs. M. D. Hirzel received
the following Christmas Greeting

former Eagle River residents, but for
the past year or so residents of Cali

roses.
To Mr. and Mrs. NJ. D. Hirzel, Eagle
River, Wis.
We'd like to send some sun and roses
To your land of frost bit noses,
But the next best thing to do,
Is wishing happiness to you,
Warmth enough goes with this card,
To melt the snow drifts in your back
yard.
MR.. and MRS. LOUIS RIGHTLY
glendale, California.
Mr.. Hirzel, who can when the occas
ion arises, drop into poetry as easily
as the once famed Silas Wegg, wish
ing to express the appreciation OF him
self and wife for the tribute of friend
ship conveyed, and yet disliking the
inference that California has climate
superior to that of Wisconsin, immed
lately got busy with his Muse, and
penned the following reply to the
Reightleys.
To Mr. and Mrs Louis Reightly, Glen
dale, California.
We all love sunshine and roses,
I love the land where the roses grow,
But | can't go back on old Wisconsin,
The land of frost and snow.
When the sunshine comes in the
springtime,
And the little flowers begin to bloom
Amt it a grand and glorious feeling,
And never a thought of gloom
But we appreciate your card most
keenly,
And we want you all to know,
That the friendly expressions on it,
Have already melted all the snow.

Eagle River, Wis.
