WILL VISIT IN
CHICAGO SCHOOLS
Teachers at the Horace Mann
Building Take Trip to Gath
er New Ideas.
TO BE THERE TWO DAYS
Pupils Have Holidays as Result
Enrolment in High School In
creased by Promotions.

All the teachers at the Horace Mann
school are to spend Thursday and Fri
day of this week visiting in the public
schools of Chicago and Oak Park
There will be no school at the Horace
Mann building on those two days, and
the pupils will be allowed freedom from
their studies. 1t has been customary
in the past for teachers to take two
days each year for the purpose of Wis
iting other schools, and it has usually
been the plan to take one day in each
half of the term.
Visits were usually confined to the
schools Of this city or of Moline and
Davenport, and the idea of going to
Chicago on a visit is a new one and
meets with the hearty approval of the
superintendent of schools, H. B. Hay
den, who says the professional spirit
which prompts the teachers to pay
their own expenses just to learn new
ideas is one to be highly commended.
The teachers of the school who will
make the trip are Principal Mary L.
Carter, and Natalie Mirf1eld, Mary
Quayle, Nettie Dodge. Marie A Koch,
Esther E Olson, Julia Eckhart, Julia
Melchoir and Mabel E. Levy.
Second Term Opens.
Yesterday marked the opening of the
second semester Of school and the reg
istration in all the buildings IN the city
was very pleasing. A number of little
tots whose ages averaged about were
taken into school for the first time
and a start made on their grade school
education. OF those who finished the
grades, about 20 in number, nearly all
have enrolled at the high school with
the intention of finishing their public
school course with a high school diplo-
ma. Many of those who did not en-
roll are expected to when the fall
term opens. The graduates from the
three grade schools which promoted
classes to the high school at the close
of the semester are the following boys
and girls:
