been a system Of class work forN the
physical development of the pupils of
the grade schools under the supervi-
sion and direction of Miss Lydia
Koenemann. During the past few
months an extension of the score of
this course to include all of the grade
pupils and those Of the high school az
well, has been under contemplation by
members of the board of education
The scope of the work vat present,
though meager in some respects, has
had a noticeable effect upon the pay
steal welfare of the children who
have been included in the work. 1t
is the intention of the board of edu.
cation to engage a physical Instructor
to head the work and carry out the
plans adopted by Miss Koenemann in
the lower grades. The instructor will
have two or more assistants who will
be competent to handle the work. MISS
Koenemann will be here at leas. a
part of next year and possibly will
stay out the entire year. She had in
tended leaving the work at the close
of the last year, but was per-
suaded to remain until the work might
be organized along the lines which size
has inaugurated.
COMPETITIVE EVENTS.
Physical work will be graded as
is the course In language and
mathematics. At the end Of the
year, in order to maintain interes,
there will be competitive field meets
in which events will be arranged froE1
the class work.
Though cities of the same size as
Rock Island have had such a depart
ment for years, Rock Island has never
had such a course. The effect will
be especially noticeable in the high
school pupils, for under the present
system the strong and sturdy are the
only ones to be benefited by the at:I-
letics, as in the competition for places
on the teams only the strongest sur
vive. Under the new system the weak
er pupils will be equally advanced
The matter of installing the system
was to have been preached at last
nights meeting Of the board, but be-
cause of the press of the business per
tanning to school Improvements which
must be started Immediately, thoEo
was not sufficient time. Adjournmen:
waS taken till Thursday, June %, and
on that evening the matter will be
up for consideration.
DEFER NEW BUILDING.
It is thought that for the present,
the matter of erecting a new building
for manual arts will be deferred, as 1t
would be impossible to have the bui,a-
ing ready for the work next year
However, there is an assurance that
Rock Island will soon have added to
its already splendid school system, a
fine building for the carrying on Of
the extended manual training work.

A un;oue iree etate.

New Jersey by her shade tree statute
converted the rocky pioneer trail OF

ress-fostering roadway. The law pro-
vides for shade tree commission OF
three freeholders who shall serve with
out compensation. The advantages OF
this arrangement are not only o'vious
in prospect but have been demonstrat-
ed in Newark and elsewhere. The
status of street trees IL raised for they
stand forth now before all the people
as the special wards OF special mu-
nicipal department specially created
to protect them.
"The commission is not only warden
Of the older trees but also planter Of
the new,' writes Carl Bannwart In The
Survey. Here in Newark. where the
law has been in force six years, H.
600 young trees on one hundred and
two miles OF streets have been set out.
Picture this! One hundred and two

A campaign against fire should be
waged, Just as there is q campaign
against tuberculosis. Fire II Q disease
which is epidemic in all buildings and
which will yield only to the same treat
ment which has been successful with
other diseases" says Peter Joseph
McKeon In The Survey. Education Is
the first step. The same conditions
which existed in the Newark factory
building which killed women and girls.
can be found in many other buildings.
Many OF the people who are indignant
ly calling for the punishment OF those
responsible for this loss OF life in New
ark are probably maintaining buildings
equally as dangerous. II they do not
own or lease factories, stores, hotels.
or other business building. they are ac-
lively interested in schools, hospitals
or similar institutions which are with
out proper fire protection. Their own
homes, indeed, are, in nine case out OF
ten, personal death traps. II man
does not protect his home and his fam
lily, is he likely to protect his factory
and his employees?
Some improvement can be secured
by legislation. II theaters and tene-
ments can effectively be sateguarded.
so can factories. But the laws Will
have to be based on sound principles
Of fire safety and will have to take
heed Of what fire prevention science
has already established as necessary
precautions. They will have to set
standards for new constructions and
they will have to recognize the chang
ed demands which changed occupancy.
processes, and populations make on
structures. The application OF the laws
will also have to be made by compe-
tent inspectors; either special fire pre-
vention inspectors will have to be en-
ployed, or the regular inspectors Will
need instruction and training in fire

An Immigration Labor Tariff.

would 1t be possible to weld the
minimum wage idea to the program Of
immigration, restriction? That is. pro-
vide that until an immigrant has spent
five years in America and is fully nat
uralized he can not be hired for less
than a living wage, say. for purposes
OF discussion. $3.50 per day." says Paul
U. Kellogg in The Survey.
This adaptation Of the principle OF
child labor certificates to the employ
(ment Of immigrants is, so far as the
writer knows. proposal hitherto I'M
advanced. 1t is ventured without test
faith that there is working principle
here which. once it we're threshed out
might be made the basis OF national
program Of immigration control The
suggestion presents various allure
ments. AS 1t would involve aliens (who
may be disposed to have different
constitutional status from natives) 1t
would seem to a layman that meas
ure could be framed which would avoid
the question OF freedom OF contract in
its ordinary form. There Is indeed a
precedent for restricting the foreign
er's right to contract in the existing
contact labor laws. The measure NIGH:
conceivably. also. be limited to corpo-
rate employers (and contractors for
corporations) which are recipients OF
special legal advantages not possessed
by individuals and might therefore be
subjected to the imposition of this re-
striction in hiring-a point which. on
the face of it. lawyers would perhaps
be less ready to accept. BY such a pro-
vision. the application of the plan could
be limited largely to those industrial!
operations where crude labor is handled
in the mass. to the detriment of the
general welfare: it would not inter-
fere with the minor employments OF
farm and store which absorb a proper
ton Of each years newcomers and
which under such an immigration law
would claim far greater numbers"
