SCHOOL AFFAIRS
| WILL BE PROBED
f A H. Hatton Declares Many Im
| provements Can Be Made.
'BOARD TO TAKE UP MATTER
>
| Ain to Find a Plan That Will Make
I Boys and Girls of Wisconsin Take
Up Education as a Keen
Relish.
Madison. —According to a statement
made by former Senator W. H. Hat
ton, the state board of public affairs
probably will take up educational mat
ters in Wisconsin. Hatton is a mem
ber of the board. “It is plain that the
question of educational needs in the
state should be looked into,” said Mr.
Hatton. "There are many places where
Improvement can be made. I have
been giving the subject some attention
and have gathered statistics that Indi
cate that there is something wrong
somewhere. "
| “It is shown that in 386 cities of the
United States out of every 1,000 pu
pils only 323 go up to the eighth
grade and only fifty-six go into high
schools. Wisconsin is an average
state in every way, and therefore
these statistics would govern here,
speaking generally.
“There are no statistics available
relating to the state, but the general
average of the 1,000 cities can be
taken.
“Further investigation shows that in
Newton, Mass., 38 per cent, of pupils
get into the eighth grade, while in
Springfield. Mass., only 11 per cent,
get into this grade. In Danville, 111.,
24 per cent, get into the eighth grade,
while in Chicago only £ve per cent,
make that grade.
“This shows that something can be
done. How do the cities with such
high percentages get the pupil3 to re
main up to the higher grades? That
is for us to discover.
“Hut it is evident there is some way
to make pupils wish to stay in school.
We ought to try and find out what
that way is. There is something
wrong where children do not wish to
go to school. It is my opinion that if
you furnish the proper inducements in
the way of giving children the things
that interest them they will not only
go to school, but will want to stay
there the year round.
"I brought this subject to the at
tention of the members of the hoard
at our last meeting and it is probable
that we will take it up after other
things are under way. In no other
way can we benefit the slate so much
a6 in finding a plan, if such there be,
that will make the boys and girls of
the state take up education with a
keen relish.”
State Anti-Toxin at Cost.
The Wisconsin state board of health
has been informed that the public
officials of towns, villages and counties
of the state generally do not know that
the board is prepared to furnish at
actual cost diphtheric anti-toxin.
Commercial houses, which furnish
most of the anti-toxins used in the
state, charge more than the state does.
The state’s price for *be 1,000 units
is 40 cents.
The state board of health wants to
make anti-toxins for other contagious
diseases and had a bill introduced at
the last session of the legislature ap
propriating sufficient money to enable
it to do so, but the bill did not pass.
The board, however, makes some anti
toxin for typhoid fever, and used some
in vaccinating the inmates of the
Green County Insane asylum and poor
house during a recent outbreak of the
disease there. Owing to its limited
funds, the board is not able to furnish
much tvphoid anti-toxin.
The Pasteur institute, which is un
der the direction of the board of
health and is conducted In connection
with the hygienic laboratory at the
state university where the anti-toxii*s
are made, treats patients for rabies at
actual cost of the serum and the ex
pense of injecting It. The board esti
mates that it saved the people of Wis
consin Slf.ooo for anti-toxins last year,
and will probably do better this year.
To Present Ibsen Play.
The Wisconsin Dramatic society an
nounces that the second performance
of the repertory season in Milwaukee
will occur Friday, November 24, when
Ibsen’s play “The Master Builder,” will
be produced The play is in three
acts. The cast, is made up of mem
bers of the Milwaukee and Madison
groups of the society as follows:
Halvard Solness, Tliomas Mills of
Madison; Aline Solness, Florence Har
rison of Milwaukee; Doctor Herdal,
Ernest Fei:e of Madison; Knut Bro
vik, Leo T iefenthaler of Milwaukee;
Ragner Krevik, Erik Walker of Madi
son; Kr.ia Fosley, Corinne McDonough
of Madison; Hilda Wangel, Mrs. E. P.
Sherry of Milwaukee.
State Banks—Post Deposits.
George D. Bartlett, secretary of the
Wisconsin Bankers’ association, said
that all Wisconsin state banks are per
mitted to accept postal deposits. Ac
cording to Mr. Bartlett, liowe'ver, it is
doubtful whether many directors will
put up government, state or municipal
bonds to enable their banks to get gov
ernment deposits. Mr. Bartlett is of
the opinion that bond houses will con
tinue to offer the loan of bonds to
banks which desire government de
posits, accepting surety bonds to pro
tect themselves.
New State Corporations.
Artic’es of incorporation were filed
as follows: The Arthur Manger com
pany, Milwaukee; capital, $10,000; in
corporators, Arthur Manger, Clara
Manger and William Rirdan. The

Flood Worse Than Realized.
An appeal for funds has been
made In behalf of Black River
Falls, the little city a few weeks ago
so seriously stricken by fiotd The

even worse than the public, had real
ized.

To the Public:
The undersigned, recently appoint
ed by Governor McGovern as a relief
committee to receive and disburse
such funds ps might be given by sym
pathetic and charitably disposed peo
ple for the relief of Black River Kalis
sufferers from the devastating flood of
October 6. have, after a thorough in
vestigation of the conditions and care
ful study cf the present and prospec
tive effect upon the city and its citi
zens. arrived at the conclusion that
the awfulness of the disaster cannot
be fully comprehended and appreciated
by those who have not bee* afforded
full opportunity to make personal In
vestigation, and have hence deter
mined to summarize the damage and
portray the probable effect upon the
city, as briefly as may be, as a means
of calling the attention of the public
to the needs of further funds to place
this former thriving city of, 2,000 in
habitants in a position to measurably
retrieve Us loss by the individual ef
forts of Its citizens, who are now
•struggling bravely against adverse cir
cumstances.
The flood completely wiped out
about eighty per cent, of the business
portion of the city—totally destroyed
72 business buildings, including some
warehouses, and greatly injured sev
eral others, with the total and partial
loss of contents, averaging approxi
mately 90 per cent., and Including in
the destruction, in every instance, the
real estate, on which the buildiags
stood; literally engulfing and destroy
ing 12 residences, with probably up
wards of 50 per cent, of their con
tents; totally destroying the furniture
and other paraphernalia of 16 benevo
lent and secret societies, flooding 33
residences on the below the busi
ness section to a nepth of from one to
six feet, damaging goods and buildings
to the extent of many thousands of
dollars and making the buildings un
fit for dwelling purposes for from oile
to three months.
The committee comprises the follow
ing: B. L. Van Gorden, chairman, Tay
lor; A. H. Dahl, treasurer (state
treasurer), Madison; Maj. C. R. Wil
liams, Camp Douglas; Eltinge Elmore,
Milwaukee; George F. Cooper, secre
tary. Black River Falls.

MRS. SELBY AND PRIZE BABY
“I hare always used Cuticura Soap
and no other for my baby and he has
never had a sore of any kind. He
does not even chafe as most babies
do. I feel sure that It is all owing to
Cuticura Soap, for he is Ann and
healthy, and when five months old,
won a prize in a baby contest. It
makes my heart ache to go into so
many homes and see a sweet-faceil
baby with tho whole top of its head
a solid mass of scurf, caused by poor
soap. I always recommend Cuticura,
and nine times out of ten the next
time I see the lpothcr she says; 'Oh!
I am so glad you told me of Cuticura.' ”
(Signed) Mrs. G. A. Selby, Redondo
Beach, California, Jan. 15, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to “Cutl
