Steps were taken Tuesday evening
by the board of education when the
proposition was referred To the teach
ers committee for report, which may
result in the organization of school
for delinquents in the public school
system of the city. Supt. Cox advo-
Gated such a school and declared that
some such plan was the only means
of saving boys who are doing no
|
classes and are detriment to the
work of other pupils. Such a school
would be ungraded and include pu-
pills of all ages.
George w. Johnson, president of
the Moline Furniture works, was at
Joliet Tuesday and purchased a new
Bates engine for his factory. The
business of the company has increas-
ed to such an extent that the engine
which was supposed to be large
enough to do them for years has
proved to be too small and they have
to dispose of the same to give place
to the new engine. The output of the
above company has about doubled
what il was two years ago, which is
certainly encouraging and speaks
well for the able management of the
concern.
