Wilkinson was playing first base in
game OF ball on the roof and had
tagged one of the kids on the oppos-
ing team for the third out. The mines
were changing about, and in the con-
fusion none of the other lads saw
George climb to the top Of the para
pet and fall. His attention had been
attracted by the changing of bell.
and leaning too far over he lost his
balance.
Directly afterward the other boys
missed him. RED" Giveans ran down
into the yard and with another bare
footed youngster carried George into
Smiths drug store at Christopher and
Bleecker-sts. His piaymates, think
Ing he was dead, wept, but under the
,influapce Of stimulant Master Wilkin-
|son opened his eyes and asked:
whats all the trouble? Say, we
amt lost the game, have we?'
Then he tried to raise himself up
on his elbow and fell back with a
moan Just then a doctor from st.
Vincent's arrived and whisked him off
to the hospital
Mrs John wilkinson, mother OF the
injured boy, has been Ill for SOME
time. Georges last words to his com
panions as he was being carried to the
ambulance were:
Tell mother | went up to my
aunts house and that I'm going to
stay there few days"
The physicians at the hospital said
they thought George would recover.

FREEPORT SOLVES
SCHOOL PROBLEM
Boys Go To High School One Week
and Work in Shop Next Week
Plan Is Success.

FREEPORT. H.. July 24.-What to
do with our boys? This city hat his
on solution.
= It's an anxious time for boys--the
time they are graduating from the
eighth grade-from the grammar
school. They want to go to work and
earn money. to get a job. Maybe they
are a little tired OF school Perhaps
the family could use the extra mohcy,
too. They are at the age at which the
law allows them TO go to work
Statistics showed that a smaller and
smaller number OF boys were entering
high school from the eighth grade.
Also that they dropped out steadily
during the four years. so that there
was only handful left by comparison
on graduation day.
These things had worried Freeport
people. who took an active interest In
rFeeport boys. At last Herbert Shear
er, a member of the Citizens CONNER
cial association. suggested solution.
Here Is Shearers solution-and
Freeports
The boys work one week at the fac
tory, the next at high school. running
alternately through the school year.
They get credit for their work nj
school. so that they can graduate In
four years. They get paid at the fac
tory--1O, IL and IL IL cents an hour.
The boys are divided into two shifts.
half working one week half the next.
so that the factory will always have
the same number Of boys In 1t. They
may work full time during the sum-
mer. Also Saturday afternoons. so
that they can take up the work With
out interruption on Monday mornings.
Here II is. then-the trade. the
school-together The school work
doesn't suffer, the originators OF the
plan feel. Only the most energetic
and ambitious boys take the factory
school course. Their minds are alert
from picking up the factory processes.
Studying at nights. as all schoolboys
do anyway. they easily keep up WITH
the classes. They learn the connec'
ton between books and tools.
The manufacturers OF Freeport,
when the matter was first preached,
were skeptical. But they were open
to conviction.
Shearer talked and showed figures-

FRED u. Austin, trustee for Gamer

ahces shown on the books Of the bank
rupt nrm to be due from customers.
80 far, he has received about $50, 900
from THIS source, most OF which was
collected shortly after the failure.
Inc sums that came in were large
~ from small accounts, the little fell
lows. In the case of the big ac-
counts. II has been found that the
nrm was either interested In the deals
or that clerks used the names for
trading purposes. This makes collec-
ton difficult, IL not impossible. In
many other cases, the people who
owed the firm are either without as
sets on which they can be sued, or else
the trustee has been unable TO find
them. Thus nearly a million dollars
or book accounts are worthless for
collection purposes.
Comparison OF the lists OF securities
held by the firm at the time Of its
failure, July Is. 1908. with present
prices, shows that II would now be on

ONLY ACTUAL SUFFERERS
ARE ENTITLED TO DAMAGES
Residents In Station District Will Be
Compensated IL Land Adults on

Ii will be August 3 or "a week before
Corporation Counsel Hally can send
to the council the agreement which he

In the Michigan Central station dis
trict, south of Michigan-ave.. and the
separation of grades at Fifteenth,
Eighteenth and Twentieth-sts. Ii Is
expected that there will be some de-
lay later In negotiating with the rail-
road officials, with the new ordinance
as a basis.
The Michigan Central has offered
to do all the work of separating the
grades and building the subways. also
taking care OF all sewers and water
mains In the district. but Its position
In opposition To assuming the respon-
sibility for damages To property-own-
ers on account of the separations has
not yet been altered.
Attorneys for the railroad and the
city agree that only those property
owners whose land abuts on the
streets where the grades have To be
changed on account OF the grade sep
arations can get damages. Other resi-
dents in the district between the
tracks and Baker-st will be unable to
get damages because OF the closing
Of streets which gave them access
directly to Michigan-ave. 1t Is en-
tirely an engineering matter as 10
what property owners are entitled to
damages, and the extent Is to be fixed
by a jury. which must also consider
the benefits to the property through
the separations.
II the city assumes the payment OF
abrttal damages. the cost will be only
about onethird, II is calculated. OF
what they would be TO the city were

agreement prevailing elsewhere.
