them is suing Mcconnell to recover
the deed. and the trial is in progress
before Judge Bigelow. John Looney

DIES FROM THE INJURIES.
Little Lele Rounds Sad and Painful
Fate.

Little Lele Rounds Sad and Painful
Lele, the 2O-months'-oli daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Rounds, $40
Twelfth street, died at 1915 last
night from the effects of scald sus-
tanned last Tuesday. which event
ually affected the spine. This makes
the fourth death in the Rounds
household in less than five years,
and one son is crippled for life in
consequence of railroad accident.
The last misfortune came Tuesday
morning while Mrs. Rounds was en-
gagged in hopping the floor. The
little tot was playing about the
house and when the mother stepped
to the kitchen door to empty a pan
full of water the child followed and
was standing alongside another pan
full of boiling water which Mrs.
Rounds left on the floor. On seeing
the little one in danger the mother
became frightened and sought to seize
it. The child backed up and fell in,o
the boiling water. The clothes were
removed from the little one as soon
as possible and DR.. Ludewig sum-
moned. Lele's back and shoulders
were badly scalded. The burn final
~ affected the spine and resulted in
death.
The funeral will take place at 9
O'Clock tomorrow morning from the
residence.

ally Opposed to Him.
HIS RULE HAS BEEN UNPOPULAR

His Conduct Unbecoming a Man In His
Station and HIS Disposition Toward the
Corps Unkind In the Extreme-A Condi.
tion to be Deplored.
The potent influence that J. E.
Ament welded over the Rock Island
board of education to insure mis- cleo
ton as superintendent of schools
seems difficult to comprehend in
view of the fact that his methods
have since been demonstrated, and
the feeling that exists among the
teachers generally-but a faint idea
OF which has been conveyed by re-
marks made by them and referred to
in The Argus hitherto-is surely in
dicative that his policy does not tend
to promote good school government.
involving harmonious and united
work on the part of the corps of in
structors. School teachers are not
of class who must be ruled by a
rod of iron in order to accomplish de-
sired results. Yet Mr.. Ament's de-
pertinent toward his corps has been
anything but kindly. and his auster-
ity has led to the impression that he
considers himself scholastic auto
crat.
Teachers Unnerved.
The effect of his tactics upon one
of the best teachers in the Rock Isl
and schools, as referred to in The
ARGUS of Thursday evening, is true
as to many other of the teachers.
who have complained of being
broken down under the nervous
strain, having lost heart in their
work and being almost ready to give
up in despair. 1.-The impression which
we gained of him at the first" re-
marked another Of the teachers after
the publication of the facts referred
to, Twas such that l dc not think the
majority of US could ever feel that
our work was appreciated. For my
own part | have iabored under great
er disadvantages the past term than
ever before. l have felt that no
matter what l did, or how hard
tried, nothing that could do would
be pleasing in his eye, and whenever
he has been in my room l have felt
that he was mentally finding fault
whether he was or not, the result
being that it made me SO nervous
that was always unstrung for the
remainder of the day."
Advice Needed Rather Than Severity
"School teachers need counsel and
advice" said another of the teachers
IF a teacher is at all fit for the
work, she seeks the cooperation Of
the superintendent and looks to him
for advice-yes. aud encouragement.
Ii she is unfit for the position. she
should not be kept. But SO long as
she is in the schools the efficiency
of the system lies in her having the
advantage of every possible means
of encouragement and Improvement
The severity of Mr.. Amenl's attitude
would ruin a good teacher whom he
did not take to or fancy. No incom-
petent teacher should be kept on the
rolls. and the superintendent is ex
pected to judge of the merits and
