Miss Clothier, of Colorado, who is
spending' a few days in Milwaukee, is
engaged in an effective and a much
needed work in Colorado. Out of the
thousands who annually go to that
i state each year in search of health,
many return to their own homes bene
fited by the change of cli
mate. Others are obliged to
remain .permanently in the state
and become residents. Many go as
a last resort, and consequently go too
I late. Lungs that have become uecus
i touted to the damp, heavy air of the
j cast cannot readily l>e adjusted to the
j light dry air of Colorado, and its a re
| suit death is hastened instead of life
j being prolonged. In these extreme
| eases someone must accompany the
sick ones and many times it is the
young woman who goes with some
: member of the family, and after the
i loving ministrations arc ended the
young woman is left alone and sadly
| in need of lotring care and practical
.sympathy. For some years Miss
| Clothier has been actively engaged in
educational philanthropic work, and
having visited Colorado several times
saw the ever increasing nerd of
coming in personal touch with the sad
dened lives of these brave young wo
men. For this purpose she gave up
tier eastern home and became a rrsi
dent of Mauitou that she might in
some measure meet this need. Miss
Clothier has been invited to speak to
the ladies of Wauwatosa Tuesday af
ternoon, April 17 th at :t o'clock,
at the home of Mrs. Hrockway, s*
West Main street.
Till- Minute Men.
“Santiago," the play to be given by
the minute men April 'jotli and .'lst.
promises to be the social event of the j
season. Several theater parties have
been arranged, one of the cinch clubs
has given up the regular weekly meet
ing for the purpose of attending in a
body. Such a desire to encourage the j
work they have been doing must be
very gratifying to the young actors, j
Certainly, if the same care and judg- j
ment are shown in the mounting and I
presentation of the play that have been
shown in easting the characters, there
is a rich treat in store for the patrons.
It would be dillicult to find any mort
suited to the parts of the roguish, vi
vacious Hess Walton: the beautiful,
dark evdd. fiery Ysobel Carlos, or the
stately Cora basset: tie. handsome, ga
lant Capt. Jiutton, .<r the noble but
erring Lieut. Clir'-.tobal than those
who are to assume the.se characters.
The same attention has been given
to the minor parts as to the h ading
ones. Mr. .lohn Creenwod ■ iti

Thursday morning the Seniors met
I >n recitation room No. 3 and decided to
1 postpone their Declamatory Contest
until May 4th and sth. That means
i thiit v. c must endure yet another week
of those eloquent (?) rehearsals. At
I almost any hour of the day or night
| someone can he heard in the labora
tory or main room, pouring forth his
! woes, pleading his cause or wailing
out his grief to the hare walls
and the high school mice. And as we
listen by the door it almost seems ns if
they were feeling worst and worse as
the days slip past.
! The question which everybody has
been asking everybody else this week is
‘Have you seen the new room? Dur
ing the recent vacation a magic trails
formation hail taken place in the third
grade r<> un. changing it from a dark,
dingy, unattractive corner into a beau
tiful place of light and cheerfulness.
Ibis wonderful transformation was
wrought by the committee of ladies
appointed by the Home and School A1
lianoe. and shows what can be accom
plished with paint and paper. The
commit tec's effort s are uppreeiated by
the entire school, and our friends are
invited to call and see this room which
by contrast, will convince you of the
value of this movement. Etifortu
nately .Miss Durbin had her name
placed on the sick list this week, and
was denied the privilege of initia
ting her surroundings. Nothing short,
of sickness will ever keep her or any
other teacher away from so attractive a
field of labor.
