What might have been a
serious accident occured last
Sunday at the h'ime of John
Redding, who resides four
miles south of Pierz. His two
sons, after having returned
from a hunting trip were
cleaning their guns when one,
which was supposed to not
have been loaded, was dis-
c arged, the charge of shot
passing thru the floor into the
room below where Mr. Redding and John Beckman were
seated. A part of the load hit
the shoulder of Mr. Redding
and a number of shot caused
a slight wound on Mr. Beck-
man's foot. The two men at
(■nee drove to Pierz where the
wounds were dressed by Dr.
Seguin. Unless complications
set in neither will be serious

In accordance with a statement which
I made last spring at tho closing exercises of our school, I will endeavor to lay
before the patrons of the village school
an approximate report of the condition
of the same.
During the  past year  the teachers in
several of the roor s. especially the first
and third, were   unable to  do justice to
their classes for the reason that the:
rooms   wsre   shamefully    overcrowded.
There  were over 70 pupils in the  fir6t
room and over GO in the third.    It is impossible for a teacher  to give individual
care to pupils when there are 60 many in
the care of one teacher.    It  is in these
very rooms, the lower grades, where the
children need much  individual care.    If
this crowded  condition  existed in   the
higher grades there would be less reason
for  complaint, in  fact  there  would  be
reason to rejoice.   This year through the
addition of one more  teacher, the pressure will be relieved in the first room but
the  same  evil   still exists  in the  third
room, and will continue to exist until one
teacher is added to the force.    The
pupils in the third and fourth grades are
entitled to the same chances for an edu.
cation as the  pupils in other  grades.    I
do not  wonder that  pupils enter  grade
after grade in the condition in which thev
do enter.    The  fault is  plainly not  the
The idea, that so long as you
have a good primary teacher and a good
teacher in the  upper grades yonr school
is sure  to succeed,  is very  general   but
also very  incorrect.    A good   start and
a good  finish is a very  good thing,  but
how much better it would be to have it
all good.   The teacher of the iutermedi-
her.       Mrs.    H.    Wuellner   of   ate grades needs to bo just as active and
Agram, Henry Zimmerman (if j wide-awake  as the  teacher of an   other
Swan     River,      Mrs.     Frnest  grade, and needs as favorable conditions
us do other teachers.
It is hoped that although we failed to
get the necessary room this year we will
get it next year. If the necesary room
had been supplied and an additional
teacher to the present force, a ninth
grado would have been possible this year
It has been and still is my ambition to
give your pupils an education at homo.
This district can well etford to conduct
both a ninth and a tenth grade. Nothing
is more foolish and r diculous than sending your children away from home, at
an age when they most need parents'
care. It costs on an average $200 to
a year to send your children to school
elsewhere. How many pupils would you
need in a ninth grade to make it pay ?
What you are paying out for having
three or four children educated elsewhere
would pay for tho extra teacher. In
cases where you wish to have your children take a commercial course, sending
them awa> can not be avoided, as our
school is not yet a business college, but
all works preparing them for a 1.
education could be done here at homo
as good and much cheaper than elsewhere.
So far the prospects we good for a
successful year. With one additional
teacher to last year's force the school
should be rauch better than it was. Every
patron should help to make our I
stand second to none of its class in the
county. Send your pupil's from beginning to finish and send them regularly.
Pupil's can not be promoted to the next
higher grade if they enter late unless in
cases where a pupil was exceptionally
strong in his or her grade. Do not wait
until the law compels you to send vour
children.
