SCHOOL STATISTICS
SHOW BIG INCREASE

For the first time in the history of
the schools, the enrolment in all de-
partments has this year passed the
5000 mark, the exact figures being
5,02S. Statistics of Moline schools
made public by Superintendent C. H.
Maxon from the annual report, show
decided improvement all along the
line. Last year the total enrolment

an increase of 435.
Following are the school enrolment
statistics of both 1913 and 1914:

Prizes for the largest turn out will be
awarded.
Peoria is already well represented
with a large and live delegation
Galesburg and Joliet each have small
delegations at present but 1t is claim
ed that large number OF Eagles from
those two cities plan to get here in
time for tonight's parade; Rock Is
land will send some 400 strong here
for the parade and the local aerie will
have in the neighborhood of 700 out,
so 1t is estimated that at least 1900
Eagles will take part.
A band of % pieces will lead the
procession under the leadership of
Thomas Murphy. Rock Island Eagles
will also have a band, and ii is likely
that Peoria, Galesburg and Joliet will
furnish bands for their own delegates.
On account of the heat it is planned
not to wear complete uniforms and re-
gala in the parade.
Business Sessions Today.
The convention attended strictly to
business today and speeches were cut
out in order that all the work in
hand can be completed before the
conventions come to a close.
The trolley ride through the tri-
cities. which had been planned for
this afternoon, was abandoned in
order that business might occupy the
time of the delegates.
At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning the
delegates will convene to transact the
most important business of the entire
session-the choosing of a 1915 con-
vention city and the election of state
officers for the year.
At present no war cloud has appear
ed on the horizon indicating battle
for the winning of next years meet
ing, and IT now seems practically GER
tain that Bloomington will land the
plum, as no other cities have yet pro-
fessed desire to entertain the Eagles
In 1915. 1t is still rumored, however.
that Peoria and Jacksonville may at
tempt to carry off honors by storm at
the eleventh hour.
Practically the same condition pre-
walls regarding the state presidency.
Peter Radcliff of Granite City is the
only candidate as near as can be learn
ed. His friends have been boosting
for his election and II now seems a
practical certainty unless someone eX-
plodes an unexpected bomb at the last
Frank u Correa of Jack
sonville appears to have a strangle-
hold upon the vice presidency, and no
candidate to succeed him in the Office
Of worthy state chaplain has put in an
appearance as yet. If there are any |
for these offices other than |
those named they are keeping in the |
dark for the time being.
Auto Trip Is Planned.
Tomorrow afternoon the delegates |
are to be entertained with an automo-
bile trip through the Rock Island ar
;enal. East Moline. Silvis, Davenport,
Rock Island and Moline. In each .
place a short stop is to be made at
he home of the aeries.
Last night the delegates to the state
witnessed the initiation of
| class of seven candidates at the
home of the Moline aerie.
