Handsome decorations of the hall

being banked with palms, ferns and
potted plants and the class colors of
pink and white were conspicuously dis
played in streamers that covered the
gallery railings and walls. The grad
nates occupied the stage and gave the
complete program at the afternoon ex
ercises. George Sladky was president
of the class. Members of the class in
the orations delivered acquitted them
selves with credit and the excellent

In the evening the address to the

viewed the history of educational effort
from early days and dwelt at length
upon the advantages of the present day,
the valuable aid which the Training
School is proving in this county and the
excellent opportunities enjoyed by the
young today. The Connty Training
School was established two years ago
and the work accomplished justifies one
in pronouncing it a success in every
way. The diplomas were awarded by
Prin. Hyer, who took occ vsion to com
pliment the class and to give a brief re
sume of the work of the School. The
interest manifested by the public in the

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.

Disease Reported to be Prevalent

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. Ileynek resides on a
farm north of the village and made his
appearance to consult a physician and
had visited several business places. Up
on the announcement that the man suf
fered from smallpox, he was immedi
ately rein, ved to his home and the
premises are now under quarantine.
According to the rei*ort brought to the
city several members of Heynek's
family are now ill with the disease. Dr
(VConnell, health officer of the village,
has taken every precaution to prevent a
spread of the contagion which may
have resulted from Heynek’s visit and
there is little fear of further trouble.
In the city the diseases has been en
tirely wi|*e<l out though several cases
have been treated during the past few
weeks Stale Health authorities re
port but few cases, the largest number
being in the city of Milwaukee.
With proper precautions on the part
of the public City health officers say
that there should Is) no danger from
smallpox the coming winter.
It is reported that smallpox is preva
lent in several towns in Brown County.
