Cedar Rapids Board Returns from
Inspection Trip FavorabIy Impressed.
Special to Times Republicans.
Cedar Rapids, May 16.-The mem
bers of the Cedar Rapids school board
and Superintendent Mcconnell have
returned from tour of inspection Of
the cities in the middle west. where
vocational schools are in operation.
The board spent the most of the time
in Milwaukee and Chicago and re-
turned impressed with the idea that
the vocational high school is the thing.
Two or three members of the board
had previously been antagonistic to the
voca tional school idea.
The board found that in Chicago
40 per cent Of the boys in attendance
at the eighteen high schools in that
city were enrolled in the three voca-
tional schools. The board found the
vocational schools in Chicago and Mil
waukee popular and doing a great
work. They are well equipped for
teaching boys and also girls the rudi-
ments of a practical mechanical or
domestic science education.
1t is predicted that the erection of
vocational high school here will be
quickly followed by the spread Of the
idea turnout the state.

about $4,000. The fire started about
midnight in the livery stable and in
five minutes quarter of block was
in flames. Eleven horses in the stable
were burned. They seemed to have
been stifled by the smoke and not a
sound was heard from them.
The Sauer & Son hardware and i'm

two automobiles and some shelf stock
in the south end Of the store were
saved. This part of the building was
also saved, but the stock was more or
less ruined, with heat, smoke and

The recent census will show Ida
