Wichman Cites Need
for Moral Training
Instruction Needed to Develop
a Religious Instinct In
herent in Man

Because of conflicting opinions in
Interpretation of the Bible, circum-
stances do not permit the teaching
of religion in public school," said
Superintendent j. H. Wichman,
speaking on, what we wish to ac-
complish through religious educa-
tion," appearing on the Sunday eve
ming program of the Church of Christ
rally service. "But we have the pri-
vilege of excusing pupils to attend
week day religious instruction"
United States was the first coun-
try to develop a public school educa-
tional system, he explained, and the
reasons are self-evident. 1t is also
obvious why we have forbidden the
teaching of religion in public schools,
when we understand that because of
the many religious beliefs, we have
no common ground to meet on.
Sketching the history of early ed
ucation Mr.. Wichman pointed out
that this was taken care of by the
churches. Fleeing from religious in
tolerance people emigrated to Ameri-
ca where they sought freedom.
Hence, the efforts of the public school
has been confined to educating the
individual to become an intelligent
and useful citizen.
The purpose of week day religious
instruction is to augment the pre-
sent Sunday school lessons, said Mr..
Wichman, and this plan seems to
meet the modern need of furthering
moral training.
No man is wholly bad, contended
Mr.. Wichman, for everyone has re-
ligious instinct, and the primary pur-
pose is to develop this by providing
a proper background, enabling the
individual to think for himself along
religious lines.
Stressing the Importance Of gov
eminent and organization to this
end, he asked the cooperation of pas
tors, teachers and parents. Super
intendent Wichman emphasized the
necessity of following through with
the program once begun, and he urg-
Gu pdIcuIS W see tudt IHSlI CHi1uACH
continued with the church with which
they started. For if they are allow
ed to drop now they will find it
easier to drop whatever they may
take up in later life.
Nearly 400 pupils are enrolled with
the six churches participating in this
week day religious school.
Instruction is adapted to group
ages. The material used is chiefly
biblical history which is graphically
presented by use of charts and color
ed pictures which are reproductions
of masterpieces.
when we present this subject
matter through the eye, ear and then
have the children make miniature
things with clay, and pencil, the story
is fixed in their minds perhaps for
all of their life," said Mrs. Collins,
talking on What we teach in religi-
Gus instruction"
The central theme of the service
was Teaching" and the Reverend
Mr.. Joneson concluded the program
by illustrating Jesus as Saviour
and Great Teacher.

MRS. H. B. WHIPPLE DIES

Mrs. H. B. Whipple, widow of the
first Episcopal Bishop of Minnesota,
died in London, England on Septem-
Der l, after an illness extending over
many weeks. The burial will take
place in Magni de Lucca, Italy where
she had made her home for a good
many years and of whose English
church she was a benefactor. Her
body will lie beside that of her life
long friend, Miss Rose Cleveland.
Mrs. Whipple was married to the
Bishop on 1896. She was much in
terested in St. Mary's Hall and in the
Indian work at Birch Coulee, contri-

Light and Power Rates Reduced;
Substantial Savings to Residents

the first so XVIII per month is 10.
gross, 9.5 cents net. According to
the old rates the first 3KWH per 100
square feet floor space per month is
II cents gross.
An adoption of the first rate for
all commercial customers would raise
a few customers who use a large
amount of electricity in a small build
ing. While the first rate greatly
benefits the majority of customers
rather than raise few it was decid-
ed to give them their choice of re-
manning on the old rate or taking adj
vantage of the new.
A full page advertisement relative
to this general reduction and rate

Cardinal Candidates
Fighting for Berths
Boys Work Hard to Show Stuff
Which Will Get Them a
Berth on the Team

With the coming of cooler weather,
the atmosphere is ideal for football.
The candidates for the Cardinal elev-
en- are working for their respective
position, now that&only one week re-
mains before they meet their first
opponent of the gridiron season,
Olivia, next Saturday, September 81,
on the local field.
Coaches Brown and Christensen
report good turnouts for their night
ly practices and are progressing to-
ward their objective slowly but sure
ly.
Coach Christensen concentrates on
line building while Coach Brown is
developing a backfield. Practice last
week started scrimmage work, and
the rockies had their first experience
roughing it. In one melee WEIGH
came out with strained ligaments of
the arm but as the injury is minor he
will be well after few days.
Of Olivia's prospects nothing is
known. Window, which is the next
team the Cardinals face, October A,
there, reports point to prospects for
a good fighting eleven this fall. Sew
en- lettermen are back in the togs,
which is an indication that they know
football as the skin they love to
touch.
Herewith are the names of the
Cardinal candidates and the positions
which they are fighting for: Ends,
Inglis, Albright, Smith, Garnhardt,
Byran; Tackles, Bud Melges, Brand,
Stensvad, Lechner; Center, Anthony

Testifying before Judge Everett
in Municipal Court, Mona Jean Burt,
said that Jones stepped from an au-
tomobile, which had been drawn up
across the road preventing her from
passing, and came forward in a
threatening manner and talked alb
usively.
Grabbing her arm, he said to one of
the three other men who was with
him, Lets take her diamond"
whereupon he tried to wrench the
diamond rings from her left hand.
Alarmed, Mrs. Burt stepped on
the gas" and drove down in the
ditch in order to get by their car,
and sped away.

sion, since the death of Miss Sails
bury.
The men had been to see her Mon
day forenoon about some carpenter
and repair work. They were disor-
derby and intoxicated, she testified,
so she ordered them off the place, as
she had repeatedly done on previous
occasions. They joshed and took
little heed of her request.
On her way to town in the after
noon she met the quartet who pulled
their car across the road. Mrs.
Burt told them if they would not
leave her alone she would get the
proper authorities to help her. 1t
was then Jones grabbed her and tried
to take her diamond rings. She
stepped on the gas and sped away.
Charge of grand larceny as car
ried in the warrant against Hagestad

her. Admitting the charge, his sem

In sworn testimony Deputy Beatty
told of finding the men in bed with
their clothes on, that they smelled OF

noon the men seemed groggy, talked
incoherently at times and inquired
what day of the week it was.

THREE POWER
NAVAL TREATY
SEEN AS TOTAL

LONDON, April 5. U.P,-The
American delegation to the London
naval conference will go home April
2o with a treaty between the United
States, Great Britain and Japan as
the sole result of their labors since
January, unless unexpected develop
ments occur within the next few
days.
THE repeated refusal of Italy to
recede from her demand for abso-
lutc naval parity with France, and
the seeming inability of the powers
TO reach satisfactory understand
ing on French security unquestion-
ably led to the decision of the
Americans TO bring the conference
10 an end.
Under present plans, they will
leave England two weeks from next
Tuesday On the Leviathan.
1t is emphasized, however, that
the reservations made for that date
are merely tentative, and should
conditions warrant, they viii. be
cancelled.
II was also stated that the at.
tempt to reach a basis for security
ract would not de discontinued, and
the British and French experts con
tinued their discussions today, look
mg for Il satisfactory formula.

HUGE BUSINESS
PURCHASED BY
WARNER BROS.

DUBUQUE, Ia, April 5. W.H)-
Purchase of Brunswick Balke-Col-
lender plants by Warner Brothers,
Inc, was to be completed today in
Chicago, officials of the Dubuque
plant indicated.
Signature of papers transferring
the properties valued at $1O,OO0,OOO
was all that was necessary to com
plete the transaction, it was learned.
Negotiations for the sale have been
under way for several months.
Warner Brothers probablyl will
make the Dubuque plant distrlbut-
ing headquarters for sound pictures,
it was rumored. with consequent
employment of approximately 5000
persons. Under the Brunswick
Balke-Collender regime the plant
has employed as many as 1900 per
sons in the production of radio and
pronograph cabinets and the assemb-
ling of radio sets.
Upon completion of the sale, 1t
was said, all Warner Brothers sound
pictures will b. sent here for syn
chronization, while the plant here
also will manufacture record and
ether sound equipment.
