S. S. S. is onward; il stimulates cellular
activity; the natural impulse of the body
to cast out all irritants Is intensified by
the influence of S. B. 9. And should

Mineral Poisoning.
Many cases of lead poisoning are re-

the high school.
The board of education decided to
add domestic science to the manual
arts program at this time and a room
was fitted up on the third floor of
the high school, equipment installed
and Mrs. Emily McCurdy appointed
as instructor in domestic science and
art, thereby relieving Miss Dean of
work which was seriously encroach-
ing upon the time she wished to de-
grades.
The seventh and eighth grade pupils
then spent 80 minutes every other
week in manual arts work.
In December, 1908, a new equipment
of work benches were installed in the
Hawthorne shop, the other grade cen,
tiers being equipped the following
year.
BY September, 1909, the high school
enrolment in the manual arts had SO
increased that an added instructor was
necessary. The board elected F. w

Prof. Frank Bennett Of Bradley Poly.
teehnic and Miss Katherine
Maekay Of Ames Heard.

The dedication ceremonies Of the
new Manual Arts building were held
this afternoon at the high school
auditorium. The program which had
been prepared for the afternoon ses-
zion was interesting A large crowd
was present. including many ladies,
who came 20 hear the address of Miss
Katherine J. MacKay OF the Uniyer-
silly OF Iowa, Ames, accepting the in
vitation OF Supervisor a. G. Hill, head
OF the manual arts department OF the
local public schools. While the pro-
gram consisted mainly Of addresses by
noted speakers. we'll versed in the
work Of vocational education, a special
musical number was rendered by the
giee club of the local high school. S.
r. Kenworthy of the board of educa-
ton presided.
The program began at 2:30. with a
song by the high school glee club Mr..
Kenworthy in a few words welcomed
the people OF Rock Island to the exer-
ciEes, with the hope that all would
spend a pleasant afternoon and that
all would be present at the evening
ceremonies.
Miss Katherine ]. MacKay, profess
sor OF home economics, State college,
Ames, Iowa, then spoke on Domestic
Art in Its Relation TO Public and Pri-
vate Welfare"
PROFESSOR BENEFITS ADDRESS.
A feature of the program was the
address of Professor Charles A Ben
nett OF Bradley Polytechnic institute
OF Peoria. whose theme was The Man
ual Training Idea in Education"
Among other things he said:
THE dedication Of a new building
is both a fulfillment and a prophecy
1t is the embodiment of ideals long
cherished it is the expression of con
fidence that these ideals will be
wrought out in human service. The
dedication OF a manual arts building
seems, therefore, a fitting time to re
call the evolution Of the manual train
ing idea.
Rousseau is said to have forewarn
the young men of wealth in France
~ saying, A revolution is approach
Ing and the man who has a good
trade will be we'll taken care Of He
recognized that skill of hand rs an as
set to any man even when fame and
fortune have been swept away.
trade involving skill Of hand is a safe
guard against. personal want and pov
erty.
while this idea OF the value o
skill OF hand to the individual is no
the manual training idea it may rea
sonably be regarded as a first sieI
in that direction.

Mr.. Walsh resigned in June, 1910,
to accept a position in Monmouth and
Clifford Tagg was appointed as his

The high school classes had increaS-
ed to such an extent and so great a
demand for advanced work both in
wood and metal was being made, that
the board of education began devils

Meanwhile, the Tri-City Master
Builders association and the Carpen-

spelling and history was given and
proved so satisfactory that it will be
repeated again this year.
About the first of January, 1912, the
board directed Mr.. Hill to prepare and
bring before them such plans as
thought advisable which, after discus.
sion and few alterations, were placed
with the three local architects.
A site directly north of the high
