tendent and Supervisors Today
Hear Address.

Monday morning the three thousand
school children of Rock Island will
return from their summer vacation to
school. and in addition there will be
about three hundred little ones to
make their first transition from the
home to the school. The teachers and
superintendent desire that as far as
possible the pupils begin their work on
Monday. as those who enter later fail
TO get the opening instructions and are
at disadvantage, as compared with
| those, who take up the work on the
fiTSt day of the term.

| Same boundaries.
The attendance of the pupils at the
various schools will be governed by
the same boundaries as during the last
two years, with slight notifications.
| The variance in the number of rooms
in the different buildings makes the
ldistricting of the schools difficult
problem. as the buildings do not ac-
commodate the same number OF grades
In the Hawthorne, Lincoln, Longfel-
low and Horace Mann schools. the full
course of work through all the eight
grades is offered. In two others, the
Eugene Field and the Irving schools,
the work covers only through the first
half of the Seventh grade, the pupils
ON completing this work being trans
ferred to the larger buildings. In the
Kemble school, the work is carried
through the first half of the sixth grade
only, and at the Washington, and Grant
schools, the work is carried through
| the fourth and the first half of the fifth
grade only.
