The country had srone through fire years of extremely hard times: men were out of work; wages extremely low. and business conditions were absolutely at a minimum.

How to build a school in these strenuous: times was a problem, and-the writer remembers very distinctly of go- ing before members of the city; council and begging almost on his knees for school facilities for the children. It was not a question of how modern a school we could build, but being short of funds and corn-! pelled to practice the most rigid; economy, naturally planned to put up a building at as low a cost as l.i.. ttced. it waa found advisable in or- der.to save nnwyr riujLto call in au outside architect but have the city engineering department plan tho Mr. Hurlingame at that lin.e at the head" of the engineering i part ment, therefore, drew the jand made the speclfb-nttoiv for the school.

Hut a few days before the great pecan liner had poked her nose through, tl-e beautiful winter-clad harbor of historic I'oMton and deposited' an--nther allotment, I "might say another aaortment, of Immigrants, myself among them, a little twelve-year old boy from Ienmark, that little country which has done so much to furnish population for Marine.

Grief at "parting with native land and playmates had rapidly 'given way to absorbing curiosity as to what lay One of the things about which I naturally wondered most was the kind of school I would find in the new country playmates, teachers, books, guues, what would they be like? The Jefferson school! What does It mean to me? Why; that Is where I learned to speak, to read, to write the English language; where received the key that would' ultimately unlock for me that wonjerful All Baba's treasure trove of English thought, English literature; hhat is where I lfarned that one country may have as its nationals not only Danes. biA Norwegians, Swedes, Jerrnans, Rohemlans, I'olos, Eng-lishmen. Scotchmen (CJod bless the memory of old Capt. James Easson who taught to love the Scotch and their literature), and all the other diverse nationalities, and yet have tiffin speak one tongue, call each other neighbors, and unitedly work for the attainment of the ideala of one country; that Is where I' first learned to respect and admire iho unselfish public servant, the American teacher. The principal or me.

jerrcrson Hi hool In. those, days wai Mr. Winnie. He; was a fine, big, easy-moving sort of man, although I have seen him grab a couple of youngsters who had gotten to battling on the playground and bump their heads, together, apparently on the assumption that that was the most direct manner of settling the dispute. Mr.

"Winnie's only remedy for my one deficiency, knowledge of the great American language, was 1o place me, a dignified twelve-year old. down in the first grade with the youngsters who were making words out of pasteboard letters, spilling colored water on paper In Imitation of dandelions, robins, and bluebirds, and singing their dainty little songs. And then, there were the glrjs. something I had never before encountered Jn a schoolroom. It was a deep havmlllatlon.

I remember that I waa so sensitive to this disgrace that I often refused to go out on the playground during decess time, for fear of being exposed to the ridicule of the older children. PVtenrilv tussles with Dlavmates I had hatf in the old country, but they were never serious. Here, however, was a new scheme of things. The little foreigner was to be baited, fingers were pointed, and names were called, and the tantalizing continued until in sheer self-defense I was compelled to use my fists and battle myself into my pro- ri ran in luvenlle nuartlism. The children of Danish parents, it seems to me now, were the worst offenders in bully-ragging the foreign boy; the American children were curious and kind.

Friendly relations were ultimately for I oon learned the language and fell in with the custams and gamea. "Within six months 'I had shed my Danish clothes and shoes, and with them my Danish accent, and I had njao been promoted until I had reached the fifth grade. Two years of school work, however, were lost in making the transition from Denmark to Wisconsin. Tha three teachers whom I best remember in the Jefferson achool are Miss Genevieve Fahey. Miss Gertrude Speer, (Mra Harry Bt Orth), and Miss Murphy.l Little could they guess what.

went on in the mind of tha little foreigner. But the thoughts of a boy, aa someone has said, are that I was not unappreclatlva of the kindness they bestowed upon nia. On my aide it was a case of lova at first sight. How fortunate it waa that I should have been placed In care of the gentle Miss Fahey. What a contrast between this teacher and the kind the children delight to caricature.

The comparison is sacrellgoua. Instead of be tog ugly and ungainly; ahe waa beautiful (an observation 1 1 have since vert fled), instead of being harsh and cruel, she was kind, courteous, aad sympathetic. A spirit of devottoa to her aervice, of love for the little ones, pervaded, her classroom, i 1 did not atay In Gertrude Speer'a room very long, but my impression was exceedingly Sunshine played, about her beautiful mass of auburn hair, and discipline was maintained mostly through her winsome smile and excellent sense of humor.

His trlendli-ness'helped to break the ice on rhy first day in that room, a fact that alwaya make me rejoice -even a little more when I am told that he ia making good in the old home tOWn.

Mlas Murphy put to rout tha last faint accent of the Danish tcng-pe. Her fifth grade, waa a' delightful place. Unlike 8ha.keapeare'a schoolboy "dragging himself unwillingly to school," I used to hurry tof get to achool In the morolnr. for often Mlaa Murphy would read aloud to ua for the first fifteen, minutes, and what boy would want to miss even sentence of "Mra, AVlggs of the Cabbage Patch" and other such delectable stories when Miss Murphy read them to. us?

Mote, much more. I could tell of vivid impressions of trie Jefferson school, especially of the boys and giil" whom I still count among my I best friends. Hut, I want to use this opportunity of paying tribute to the three teachers whom I have mentioned in this brief sketch. To i i i teaching toward which we are striving in America, the Ideal which I would like to see attained and extended until no child In this great country of ours shall be without the opportunity that comes -in spending their hours under the guidance, the stmulus, the inspiration of teachers such as these'.

Oh, Jefferson school! Behind thy graying walls may the glorious work of mind -building, 'heart-building, body-building continue unabated, and the high standards of these splendid servants of the people ever be upheld. May we. thy- children, ever bear in grateful remembrance the joyful time of our schooldays, ever freely acknowledge our indebtedness to the unstinted, devoted labors of thy teachers, ever carry Into the world before all men testimony of their magnificlent influence. HARD STEEHOLM. (Note: Mr.

Steeholm Is now editor-in-chief of the "Wisconsin Magazine" at Madison. Wis.) OTHER DAYS, You have asked me to write a letter of reminiscences of my days at the "Jefferson." I have not (may Allah be praised) reached the age of fond retrospection, and hence my recollections of Jefferson school days are a bit nebulous. One little Incident stands out In my mind, possibly because it pricked my tender vanity. During Mr. Hardaker'a regime.

the custom waa Inaugurated of playing marches on the piano while pupils were leaving the building. The clarion call for pianists went echoing 'round the grades, and I. with more nerve than I have since been able to muster Joined the group that volunteered for such duty. My Buffering parents had propelled me through several months of piano study, and my one and only march was of x-ruel simplicity. The march was short, which necessitated several repetitions before the building was emptied.

As a result my poor little "selection became painfully familiar everyone in the building. -Mr. Hardaker'a iron nerve broke under the strain, and one day he came to me, and with what I considered a most deporable lack of tact confessed that the melody no longer thrilled him with Its beauty. Being able to take a hint, I promptly resigned as pianist. My penchant I for puttering with things electrical were encouraged by Mr.

Kllburn, who succeeded Mr, Hardaker. On many occasion I was excused from regular classroom work to operate the stereoptlcon. In those daya, it so happened there were no other youngsters who rode an electrical hobby; the distinction of being the-, electrical engineer was more appreciated than it would be today, when nearly every school boy has a home made radio set. My memories of the annual cantata are among the moat delightful of my Jefferson, The same effort put upon my studies, that was expended in learning my "part," would have gratified mfc" teachers. These, musical fantasies are things all normal children delight in, I believe.

I dare aay. my mother has tucked away, somewhere, lurid calico costumes designed to more or leas successfully transform an year old rough-neck into a pixie, fnJry-klng. or golbtn. As to what the Jefferson achool meant to me I can hardly aay. While I waa attending the Jefferson I doubt if It meant much of anything to me.

Now, I would aay, the Jefferson meant a pleasant place, where, with the help of sympathetic and understanding teachers, the rudlmenta of educa tlon ware acquired and character properly directed, a place where, without the co-operation of the en- thuslaatlo teachers, a "rattling food time" was enjoyed. What more would you haveT" NEWELL E. FRENCH. Professor at University of Wiscon sin. NOT SO IXNOAGO.

Often aa I meet old friends of boya and girls with whom I attended the Jefferson school. It is hard to believe that time haa pass ed so rapidly. The realization does not come to one strongly until you meet one of your boyhood pala and find that he ia now a married man with a family. Only two weeks ago Howard Johnson came to my establishment with his wife and family. He brought to my mind the fact that his brother Millard and' I had graduated together.

Never will I forget the Intense Interest and competition of the two eighth grades during our "political campaign. The-v aspirants for the presidency were Millard Johnson, Newell French and myself. Naturally the best man won and the congratulations went to Millard, nevertheless I cannot forget how staunch my own- grade waa In lta support of my candidacy. Occasionally I meet some of my teachers although moat of them just as the clasa, have become scattered. Three In particular shall never Miss Murphy.

And at the same time we were- required to emphasise strong points with the right hand in other words use- Never have, 1 By CHARLES J. SALAK.

You ask me to give you a bit of history of the Jefferson school's first orchestra. Some of you have undoubtedly heard of the Boston Symphony, the Chicago Symphony, the Philadelphia Symphony, and like organizations, but you have missed a great deal if you did not hear the good old Jefferson School orchestra way back there in 1912. It sure was some organization. Of course, I must use my memory as to who the members were, but I will do the best I can. I believe that the organization consisted of: Fred Nelson, pianist.

Kmll Nelson, first violinist. Russell Frank, second violinist. Kmll Rasmussen, aecond violinist. Charles J. Salak, first George Peterson, cornetist.

We were under tha direction of Miss Speer, a teacher most capable of whipping raw material Into an organization-such aa we later be? came. My, but weren't we a proud body when at recess time we were excused five minutes ahead of clasa, dismissal to assemble in the upper' hall, where after a great deal of' tuning and unnecessary discords we finally broke forth in a stirring march to which the pupils, after assembling In their individual cloak Upon the Installation of Mr. Denny as principal, we found ourselves under the leadership of a man who was quite a musician himself, he being quite adept on the trombone.

It has developed one of the biggest assets that one can possess and that Is ability to talk convincingly.

I can still hear Earl Chrlstensen whispering to me, "Gee, I feel like a fool." Graduation day of course Is something that all students look forward to. Ours was spent in Milwaukee. It seemed to me that no day would ever be as great as that because of two things." I was leaving school after what I actually believed to have- been eight hard years of study, and secondly be cause I was the proud possessor of a pair of long trousers, my first. The day for our trip arrived and we all eagerly looked for the sig nal that would make It a day of pleasure or doom us to disappointment. Fortunately the day turned out aufflclently clear to warrant chancing a trip to Washington Park, Milwaukee.

Carlus Juste- sen and I 'formed the conclusion that perhaps some of the young ladies In the clasa had designs on our pocket-booko. so we decided to protect ourselves. Carlua agreed that he would pay me $1 If I were to catch him spending any money on the girla, and I agreed to do likewise should he catch me. The plan worked wonderfully, but not without first having run tha gauntlet of stinging remarks from the fair aex, who soon found that even such harsh nick-names aa "stingy," couldn't Influence us to lose our bet. No doubt If most of our class were to live their school days over again they would certainly make a model class.

I. am sure that the guidance and instructions that these instructors gave to their pupils, have been responsible for any success they may have attained in later life. Well do I recall how the boys would line up on the various floors at recess and dismissal time, and march out in squad formation. Very proud Indeed we "were. Another Joy waa listening to the delightful stories read to us by Miss Mary Murphy.

All these stories had a moral to teach, and I know their objects' were accomplished. There was not a pupil but who lived up to the unwritten laws of the school-yard, not to leave the grounds during recess, and not to trample down the shrubbery, or run down the sod embankment.

What has the Jefferson school meant to you from the standpoint of a parent? it haa meant satisfaction for over eighteen years, both on the part of our children and ourselves. For In those years our six children have spent their happy school days from klnd- ergarten on through the grades in the Jefferson, and not once in all1 I these years has it been necessary for me to coax or compel any of our children to attend school. The i very satisfactory foundation all of them received in their ''Three Ri and other benefits which they de rived from the Jefferson, we feel were due to the untiring efforta of their excellent teachers.
