INTER SCHOLAsTIC MEETS
CONDEMNED BY W. C. T. o

The W. {. T. L. of Galesburg has
framed protest against interscho-
Iastic high school meets such as was
held at that city week ago and
which was attended by Il large mum
her of high school students of this
city.
The ground for the protest is that
on the evening of the meet hundreds
of young boys and girls. ranging from
II to rs years of age, were walking
the streets at 10 and II o'clock, that
the young boys were frequenting the
saloons during the day and that there
was no one to look after them. To
permit such things for any purpose
whatever. they held, was to sanction
the moral destruction of the children.
Mention was made of the mayors ac-
tiCn in attempting to arrest the sale
of liquors to children as soon as it
was brought to his notice.
Some specific cases were talked of
and the scenes at the depot, when the
children were waiting for the eNcur-
sion trains to leave at Il o'clock were
unanimously condemned. The indig-
nation of the members of the associa-
ton expressed itself in unanimous
vote as soon as the motion to appoint
a protest committee was made.

Health Commissioner G.. &. Craig, Jr.,
will make recommendation that
permanent custodian be appointed to
have charge of the detention hospital
at the west end of the city. to take

year around, the man to receive $45
a month and the city land about the
building to cultivate for his own use
and with extra compensation when
there are cases of contagious diseases
to be cared for. The man so employ
ed could have charge of the city dump
boat in summer, and in winter, when
not kept art the hospital, could be
employed in other capacities en- city
work.
