SUPERINTENDENT ROBERTS.
To the Teachers and Prospective
Teachers of Stevens County.

ASe1ShOA . VA SG$NOhS
[ find upon examining the records
at the office OF the State Department
of Public instruction that the quail
fication of the teaching force for the
rural schools of Stevens county are
among the lowest of the state, both
as to the number Of legally qualified
teachers, or teachers with state certi-
ficates ;and as to the scholastic stand
ing of those who have state certif
Gates,
This is certainly a deplorable
state Of conditions and one in which
We should center our best efforts
and concentrate our energy upon
until it is overcome,
Owing very largely to the unanim
Gus request of the teachers at the
recent Teachers Examination OF
February, for a six weeks training
school, we have finally succeeded in
obtaining the appointment and if
properly attended it will go long
way towards eliminating the con
ditions above mentioned,
Owing largely to the demands Of
the people for such school, and
especially to the united efforts 81
the board Of Education of the 'Morris
City Schools; but primarily to the
untireing, relentless, and efficient
Superintendent of the Morris public
schools, Prof. Smyser, the State
Board of Education has appointed
the Morris High School as one of the
Thirteen Favored Schools of the
State" to which normal department
with special instruction in the COM
mon branches is to be added
Taking the future welfare of the
teachers into consideration, as we'll
DIS 'lGL VI ouI SOuuOu 1uJ dl SGuOO1Ss
which in many instances need
stronger and better instruction in
the common branches, + have fully
determined to issue no Permits or
Third Grade certificate for the
coming school year, unless I find it
absolutely necessary to do so in
order to fill our schools. But, in
stead, | will insist, in so far as [ can
upon the few teachers who should
be unfortunate at the next coming
examinations, attending the normal
department of the Morris high school
and thus fitting themselves not Only
more thoroly for their profession and
the performance of their duties, but
also for commanding better positions
with an increase in salary.
Yours very truly,
RAY S. ROBERTS.

Companion Took Clothes to Davenport
Police Station and Reported Cir
cumstances.

Pat Mcdonald of Moline reported
that friend named Burns, who he
had met that day was drowned in the
river last night. but developments to-
day proved that the man is alive and
somewhere in the cities if he has not
followed the trail up river where he
was travelling,
Burns had been drinking some and
boosted to his newly made friend that
he could swim from the Davenport side
to the government island. Pat was di-
rected to take his clothing down
stream a distance where he would be
met after the feat was performed.
Burns went into the water and Pat
started down the stream. He watched
the swimmer for a time and one time
he looked and the performer was no
where to be seen. Surprising that he
was drowned the companion took the
clothes to the Davenport police station
and so reported.
Today ii developed that Burns reach
ed the island all right, and as it was
| dark he managed to get hold of coat
and pants. Calling at the home of one
of the officers he told a hard luck
story and secured the rest of an outfit.
He was sent away from the island, but
his whereabouts are unknown.

WALLS IN A CRASH
Rear of Partially Burned KIug
Building in Davenport
Falls.
CAUSED BY HEAVY WIND
Damage Done to Adjoining Property
Great AS That of the Orig
inal Fire.

Damage greater than that of the
original fire was done last night by
the collapse of the walls of the build
ing on West Second street, Davenport,
occupied by the Hinrichs Crockery
company and the l.. B. Guy Crockery
company, and partially destroyed by
fire several weeks ago. The rear and
side walls yielded TO the heavy wind
about 1920 p. m. and fell outward on
the adjoining building causing loss
of probably $4,000.
Adjoining the partially burned build
ing are Louis Hanssens Sons, the larg
est hardware establishment of the city,
and T. Richter's fur store, also the
largest of it's kind in the city Both
buildings had extensions TO the alley
at the rear one or two stories in height
The walls of the building that fell were
four stories high and the effect was
the complete demolition of the smaller
structures. The loss on Richter's stock
is estimated at $4,000 and on the l.. B.
Guy Crockery company's stock. which
still occupies the partially burned
building, $4,000, while that of the Hans
sen store. the heaviest of all, has not
that the Klug estate. which owns the
collapsed building sustained. and the
damage done 70 the buildings that were
demolished.
Blew Plate Windows Out.
The impact when the heavy brick
walls fell was terrific. The plate glass
windows in the fronts of the two build
ings that were crushed were blown out
into the street in a million pieces. the
crushing of the roofs acting as would
a bellows, the blast coming out through
the fronts. Clocks In a nearby jewel
ny store stopped registering the time
of the crash at exactly 1926 p. M.
Fortunately the accident came at a
time when there was no one in either
building and no one was hurt.
Ii is claimed that complaints had
been made to the Klug estate and the
city against allowing the menacinS
walls to stand after the fire. There
fore those suffering loss are already
preparing to sue the estate and the
municipality alleging negligence. This
is the only recourse, as there can be
no recovery through fire or other in
surance carried on other stocks or
buildings.
