The School Question.

This morning, the Rock Island editor of
the Gazette says
If our public schools are to be made
mere part of the political machine their
days of greatest usefulness have passed.
We want men Of liberal thought and edu-
cation on our School Board, and not Dem
ocrats or Republicans, Presbyterians or
Jews as such; men eminent for integrity
and good citizenship"
That is exactly the course THE ARGUS
has always taken in regard to the ques-
ton, and that is why it opposed the call of
James M. Montgomery, chairman of the
Republican City Committee, for party
convention in the court house tonight.
The call, IN THE ARGUS, last evening,
for meeting in Killers Hall, at 7:3O
o'clock this evening, was published at the
request of large number of citizens Of
both political parties, who 90 not wish to
carry the election into politics-and we be.

of them to take part in the exercises, IL
of those who stood highest in their classes,
during the time they attended the school,
were selected. The salutatory was de-
livered by George J. Barker who chose
for his subject the Effect of Republics

essays, which were well received. Jacob

years course, delivered an excellent

to be the best delivered and most perfectly
composed exercises on the programme.
The valedictory essay, Onward or Back

that they had selected worthy pupil for
that exercise. All the other pupils
acquitted themselves in very satisfactory
