One’s training for life's work is begun in the home ami fostered in the school. Tins training is tin* result of a direct and conscious effort on the part of the parent and the teacher, combined with the indirect result of the surroundings in which a child is placed. The surroundings are more potent than we think and are usually neglec ted. It is probable that the distaste for farm life is often formed before the child is able to reason on tin. subject. The district schoolhouse, generally speaking, in its character and surround ings is depressing. In recent years a number of new modern buildings have been erected in this county and in every case tiie people of those districts have been delighted with the change. In fact too many school buildings, schoolyards and surroundings have been too long neglected The country home, the barns, tiie stock, the fields and roads have lieen greatly improved but in too many districts tin' school receives the last consideration. Can any one Hud any good leason fur the continued existence of such condi tions? The district schoolroom is the iiiijiil’s living room for many years, lienee it ought to t>e an attractive place. The child’s body should be easy and comfortable when intellectual work of the highest order is exacted. Cleanlinewi.nealness, order and beauty •ire silent educators which effect un consciously the child's inner nature. They educate to morality while all the teacher may say in this direction, if not supported by lieautiful surround ings, can effect but little. The tempta tion to mar and deface public property will Isi prevented by keeping the prop erty neat and clean. Frame buildings should from time to time receive a fresh coat of paint, both for its pre nervation and its cheerful Usdcs. Ihsirs and blinds should tie projierly fastened, window panes put in and there should la* plenty of hooks for wraps and caps in the hallway. The schoolroom should tie large, well lighted and well ventilated. Frequent ly the windows are so poorly placed that it is impossible to raise or lower them. To comjiel children to breathe the vitiated air of a schoolroom is bound t > effect their work and health. Change this when necessary so as to allow some of dial's fresh air to come In. The stove should lie surrounded by a sheet iron jacket. Without such a pro tection, as soon as the weather becomes cold, some children will be too cold and others to warm. It is not only danger ous to health but positively cruel to compel children to ait near a hotstovo. lu many districts the school grounds are to small. The outhouses need careful considera tion. Too frequently these closets, and particulary the boys’, are in a til thy condition and for a very good reason —be cause they are not cleaned and inspect ed properly. Is there anything worse than to have our children come in constant contact with uncleanliness and immorality on the school grounds? This condition is not found at the homes; why then, mothers and fathers, should we tolerate it at school? When school boards have built or re paired, furnished and equipped school houses properly and made them cheer ful, the lattei will not be so preserved unless the conscientious teacher will in sped the premises and correct abuses and misdemeanors. A daily inspection of the grounds, outhouses and surround ings by the teacher is absolutely essen tial to the well-being of the child A tasteful school house In a pretty yard, well supplied with tree's, flowers, suitable and clean outbuildings and a good fence, is certainly an important element in the education of the children and when the interior of the school house is correspondingly tasteful, when it has a good clean floor, few beautiful pictures, seats properly arranged and a library of good books, the school house and its surroundings, become by far the most potent factor in the education of the child—the teacher alone excepted. Each and every district ought to feel the necessity of making its school the best school in the county. Lot us have good teachers. There may lie a few in this comity as in all c unities who do not earn the wages paid them but the majority, a large ma jority earn much more than they re Ceive. Then lot us work together, patron, teacher, school officers for whatever will tend to elevate and improve the school conditions of our county. CLAY CO.

DANGER OF SMALL POX NOT OVER Disease Reported to be Prevalent in North and West of County BROWN COUNTY TOWNS HAVE CASES Cato lias a Small Scare —Ciiy Now Free of Pest—State Authorities Report Disease Disappearing Smallpox ha* not entirely disappeared from Manitowoc County and although not epidemic its presence in several sections is causing considerable trouble to Health authorities and arouses a fear that with the coining of cold weath er the County may again experience the conditions of 11)01-1902. No County in the State has made a better tight against the pest than Manitowoc and it has been successful and should protect this section from dangers of a serious invasion. From reports during the week, small pox is prevalent in the northern and western sections of the county. Several cases of the disease have been treated at Maple Grove in the past few weeks, but it is bow believed that the inroad has been checked. At Cato, Sunday, considerable excitement prevailed, when it was discovered that Joseph Ileynek was suffering from smallpox, the case U’ing well developed and in appearance, virulent of tyjte.
