Charles Ney has commenced suit

IS CONGESTION IN
CENTRAL SCHOOLS
Physical Culture Quarters at
Kemble to Be Made Into
Glass Room.
LINCOLN is OVERCROWDED
Because of Excessive Heat, Children
Are Dismissed at O'Clock in
Afternoon.

The schools of the central districts
of Rock Island are in such a state of
congestion at the present time that il
is thought that the new school in the
bluf section will not entirely relieve
crowded conditions. The Audubon
school soon to be completed will open
three rooms to the school children
while for the immediate present, the
fourth room will not be used. The
school attendance in Kemble and Lin
coin buildings is so large now that il
Will be necessary 10 convert the sixth
room of the kemble building. now
used for physical education classes,
into a class room. When the Manual
Arts building is opened for next Sc
mester, Miss Abigail Dean, now occu-
plying a room in Lincoln building, will
be changed TO the new building, and
an additional school room will occupy
her present quarters. The Kemble
room will then be turned back into
the physical culture room.
AT present, the second and fourth
grades of Lincoln building are over
crowded but the opening of the addi-
tional room in Kemble school will go
far toward relieving the conditions Ir-
wing school, too, is crowded. Super
intendent H. B. Hayden states that a
| redistricting Of the school districts
will probably solve the congestion diff
! fculties for the next two years.
CLOSE BECAUSE OF HEAT.
Because OF the excessive heat, the
/ public schools are being closed at 3
/ O'Clock in the afternoon. The order
will continue until cooler weather ar
rives. The order was put into effect
yesterday by Superintendent Hayden
upon advice of the board. There will
be board meeting this evening.
