Thursday evening at the church, with
Rev. Mr.. Rolf in charge.
Rev. Mr.. Rolf came to Rock Island
two years ago. Formerly he had a
church in the farming section of Iowa
He found that the majority of the
young people who worshipped at the
local church. were bread-winners, and
that many of them, owing to financial
circumstances, were obliged to leave
school before even reaching the sixth
grade. He saw the need of education

young people to aspiring to better po-
sitions in life.
Mr.. Rolls plan adheres closely to
the settlement work features, and his
efforts have already born fruit in an
interest that promises well for the sue
cess of the movement in his church.
The greatest general good, Mr.. Rolf
believes, is to come from the class

spelling, reading, Writing, arithmetic
and penmanship. Many of the boys
