Boys as Cooperative Workers.-The
Moline test of the cooperative system
of industrial training is now well I'M
der way. Five youths have been plac-

shops for the summer, and contracts
between boys, school authorities and
the manufacturing concern will be en-
tered into in the near future. Super
visor H. S. Dickinson explains that
progress with the cooperative plan is
necessarily slow, as the system is en-
tirely new and some are still inclined
to doubt it's practicability. Places are
still open for all boys who desire to
take advantage of this plan of joint
technical and practical training and a
definite wage schedule will be agreed
on soon. Mr.. Dickinson says that w.

%
ing of a preliminary survey along the
route of a long-proposed interurban
road between Sterling and Moline for
the Rock River Traction company is
scheduled to be started this week by
a surveyor from the Milwaukee Con-
struction company. Fresh impetus was
given the project last week when a
Milwaukee engineer. accompanied by
Joseph Wright of Rock Falls, a pro-
moter, r. S. WOODBURY. of Moline, E.
c. Donahoo of Hillsdale, and a Nor
rfson banker. went over the ground in
an automobile. The local hackers of
the revised project are confident of its
naturalization. The plan is to run
the interurban parallel with the bluff
road from Sterling, through Erie,
Hillsdale and Watertown. Then there
are to be spurs to Morrison and Proph-
etstown. The idea is to have the sur
veys made and blue prints prepared
for submission to financiers whose aid
is to be solicited. The Milwaukee Con
struction company will then build the
road and turn it over to the stock
holders. The Milwaukee Construction
company is now building a road pro-
NOTED by Joseph Wright between Gen
eseo and Sterling. The fact that a
part of this road is already built is
looked on as favorable to the ultimate
construction of the Sterling Moline
line.
