and the Irving.
Mr.. Cervin was present in the meet
/ ing and submitted plans showing the
complete removal of the heating plant
and toilet room fixtures at the Eugeue
Field school and the Encouragement Of
rooms for the installation of a modern
steam heating plant and sanitary
equipment of the toilet rooms. By this
arrangement, a room will also be Sc
cured furnishing ample accommodation
for the physical education work. The
plans as submitted by Mr.. Cerwin fer
both the Eugene Field and Irving
schools were approved and he was d.
rected to secure bids within the next
week and further adjournment was
taken 10 next Thursday evening to
consider such bids as may be In the
hands of Mr.. Cervin at that time.
To save time on these jobs, the

the appointment of a physical director
for the Rock Island high school has
been deferred by the board of educa-
ton. Last night there was an ad-
journed meeting of the board and Al
bert Huber, president of the German
American alliance, met with the board
and asked that a course of physical
training be established in the schools.
He was assured by H. H. Cleayeland,
acting president In the absence Of H.
by illness, that already the work had
been organized in the grade schools
and has been under the direction of
Miss Koenemann since last fall. He
assured the society that the body is
In full sympathy with the request and
appreciates the value and Importance
of this line of work. He further stated
that 1t is the disposition of the board
to continue and develop the training
during the coming year and that the
question of the appointment of a Ill
rector for this department is having
the careful consideration of the body.
The board contempIates following
the recommendation of Principal A. J.
Burton in a measure, which means that
a physical instructor will be at the
head of the work in the high school.
The work in the grades will continue
as In the past and will lead into the
finest physical education work possible
in public schools.

This is easier said than done, but the
