The Late Teachers Meeting That Did Not
Occur--Miiau Mention

Rock Island County Teachers insti-
tute which was to have been held at
Black Hawk Inn Saturday, ad journed
without accomplishing anything.
The teachers from the Milan side
went over in the street car
to Sears, at which place they were
told that the car would not run
up to the Tower until half an hour.
Rather than to wait, the teachers
slowly climbed the hill, and reached
the Inn after muddy walk. and
were surprised to find that no ar
rangements had been made either for
the Inn or for dinner. 1t seems the
arrangements were left to the prin-
cipal of the Milan school. Finding

there. the teachers spent the dav in
Rock Island and Davenport. Presi-
dent Mckeeber was there and stated

teachers present.
