be found for doing it.
3.-That industrial subjects and

pense of time heretofore devoted TO
other subjects, and that the teaching
of such Industrial subjects and vocal
music be done, in the main, by the
teachers of the other subjects. espec-
tally in the first six grades.
4.-That in certain districts where
four-year elementary schools are now
maintained, provision be made for the
establishment and maintenance of ele-
mentary schools for six years.
5.-That intermediate schools for
grades seven, eight and nine be es-
tablished as the needs Of education

high school be maintained for grades

6-That a step toward the realiza-
ton of the object of recommendation
4, one or more sections Of the fifth
grade be maintained in the primary
schools during the year 1884

Recommendation of the Minority.
INrecommend that two intermediate
schools be established this year, one
at the high school and the other at
school No. /. This would mean the
addition of a ninth grade to school
No. 1, the housing of one section or
the seventh grade pupils and one sec
ton of eight grade pupils in the high
school methods.

who have tried the new organizations:

teachers and their ways.

Webb's father was a scaieman,
working nearly all his life for the
Union Stockyards Co. They lived
at Fifty-frst street and Prince
ton avenue.
His father and mother were in
telligent, decent, thrifty working
people But they died within a
few months of each other three
years ago.
From then on until the spring
of 1912, Webb lived with his
Uncle Celery, four houses. west of
Princeton avenue on .Forty-sec-
ond place. The uncle is team
ster for Arthur Dixon.
But Teddy was kicked out of
his uncle's house when he went to
work, for the Rock Island as a
strikebreaker.
Probably Teddy's best friend in
the world tOday.l IS Mrs. William
Londergon, who, when Webb's
mother was dying, promised her
to look after the orphaned boy.
This is what Mrs. Londergon
says of Webb:
"Teddy-was sent to Pontiac for
being an accomplice of thieves. 1
don't think he had stolen any
thing. But he was found carry
ing some stuff that had been
stolen.
After he came back from Pom
tiac he led a pretty straight life

this was the last public address he

of his address. the speaker took
