The following under a Moline date
appeared in today's Chicago Tri-
bune:
"A movement favored by the civic
leagues and business men of six cit
les has been launched TO merge Mo-
line, Rock Island, East Moline,
South Rock Island. Silvis and Water
town into one municipality under the
commission form of government.
This would give the corporate city a
population of almost 100000, making
it the second in the state in both size
and population.
Moline would be the center of
the city and no doubt would obtain
the city hall. Rock Island, being the
county seat, would retain the court
house, while each city would have
be adopted If the plan carries. as
Rock Island will not accept the name
Moline.
Elections will be held in each Of
the cities before the end of the year
TO vote upon the merger. The ANAL
gamation of the six cities would give
the corporate city the state insane
asylum at WATERFOWL. the Rock Is
land railroad repair shops at Silvis.
the Deere pillow works, the many
automobile manufacturing concerns
of this city, and the Rock Island ar
senal. and would make il the second
greatest manufacturing city in Iii
nois."

Significance of Modern Educa-
tional Methods Shown by
DR.. A. r. Taylor.
PRESIDENT OF MILLIKEN
How Wage Earning Capacity of the
Worker Is Enhanced by
knowledge.

At the January meeting of the
Broadway Mems club, held last even
ing at the Sunday school rooms OF the
Broadway Presbyterian church, more
than 100 members and friends were
seated about the supper tables. The
entertainment consisted Of an address
by DIR. A. r. Taylor, president of James
Milliken university of Decatur, and a
number of songs by the Wennerberg
Male chorus of Augustana college, and
clarinet solos by Professor l. w.
King.
DR.. Taylor had for his subject THE
Significance of Modern Educational
Methods" In his talk he told Of the
advantage of knowledge in earning a
livelihood and Of the improvement in
the last few years in educational meth
DDS throughout this country.
JUDGING THE SCHOOLS.
"An education" said Dr. Taylor,
makes the child more sensible and
more serious and gives him a better
understa udfng of the conditions in all
problems And the people should
judge the school methods by the work
of the graduates. Men of every walk
of life expect the schools to turn out
wage earners, good citizeIs with high
ideals. and hold the public school sys-
tenn responsible for present conditions
In public life. We will concede that
the educational system ought TO make
well developed people with wage-earn-
ing ability and efficiency. But there
are teachers and teachers; schools and
schools; and capacities and capacities.
Some pupils when they enter school
are prejudiced and have habits which
are hard to overcome. There are linn
itations in their capacities for learn
ing brought about in the homes and
communities.
at is fact that public schools and
colleges are not giving as much as pos
sible but educational system has made
wonderful progress in the past 100
years. Then the educational system
was limited 10 the practical phases of
life. and few were able to take advan-
tage of il. Now there is a liberal edu-
cation along all lines and problems,
social and commercial, and anyone
may take advantage of it.
STATES COMPARED.
"A few years ago 1 had occasion to
compare the wage-earning power of
citizens of the various states of the
country, and found that Massachusetts
wage earners averaged 50 per citizen,
while the average wage for the citizen
of the country was ST. Was this be-
cause of the soil of the state, or Of the
v,v1dvrrfDT re
or OF climate? I answer no. 1t was
due in large measure to the education
al system. for that particular state is
the schoolmastcr Of the land. There,

JEWELL COLLEGE
ON FOR DEBATE
Augustana Debating Team Re
ceives a Challenge From
Missouri Institution.
is ANXIOUS TO BE SHOWN
Will Likely BE Accommodated Dur
ing Present Iear-First Conn
bat With Lombard.

1t is probable Augustana will have
another intercollegiate debate this
year. Yesterday a challenge for a de
bate was received from William and
Jewell college of Liberty, Mo. This is
one of Missouri's largest colleges, hav-
ing an enrolment in the college de-
partment alone of over GOO.
Last year William and Jewell had
debate with Bethany college of
Lindsborg, Kan, Augustana's old foe,
and was defeated by Bethany on the
same question that Augustana beat
Bethany William and Jewell men
took notice of the fact that Augustana
scored a victory over Bethany on n
question where they had failed. and
now for that reason they want to take
a whack at Augustana.
HOLDS HIGH RANK.
William and Jewell college has al
ways ranked high in debating, and IT
would be to Augustana's advantage to
annex the new relation. Last year the
William and Jewell debating team de-
feated the Arkansas university team
and the Drury college team. Both of
these last named schools turn out good
debating teams. 1t was the fact that
Bethany college defeated a debating
team from a school of the calibre of
William and Jewell last year that made
Bethany So confident of victory over
Augustana.
If this debate comes off, as it no
doubt will, judging from the present
sentiment for such a debate among
the students at Augustana. it will be
held here at Augustana. This is sat
isfactory to Augustana, as it has no
home debate this year. The time for
holding this debate will probably be
IN the latter part of April or the first
of May
LOMBARD NOT HEARD FROM.
On March II Augustana debaters
journey down to Galesburg to combat
words with Lombard college. Lom-
bard this year has the choice of sides,
since Augustana submitted the Ques-
ton, but has failed TO notify Angus
tana thus far what side of the question
it will take Plenty of time has been
given to make a decision. The prelim-
mary debate for the contest has not
been held yet, but it will be at an early
date.

MAY INcLUDE KANsAs DIVISION
Double Tracking ON U. r. May Come
Here.

Unconfirmed rumors which have
reached Kansas City indicate that a
part at least of the Kansas division
Of the Union Pacific will be included
in the double tracking project Of that
company and the Southern Pacific,
for which an appropriation Of $751;

The Kansas division Of the Union
Pacific handles heavy traffic, both
freight and passenger. 1t already
is double tracked from Kansas City
to Topeka, sixty-seven miles. The
volume of business west Of Topeka
is sufficient to justify heavy track.
1t already is one of the finest pieces
of track in the west. From Limon,
Colo, to Denver, eighty-eight miles,
the track is used Jointly by the
Rock Island, which It Is believed will
be sufficient reason to Justify dou-
BILE track on that section.
