a Hudson, five-passenger car had been
stolen in that city by Charles Smith,

to indicate that the same man is the
leader of three men who held up and
robbed Adolph Bufe of this city on a
lonely road near Rapids City yester-
day.
Three thugs were in the car at the
time of the robbery. The report from
Peoria is to the effect that Smith was
assisted by his younger brother and
another man in making way with the
automobile. The cars license number
was 1862 Illinois. Smith was de-
scribed as being 20 or 81 years old and
six feet in height, and his brother 20
years old and five feet in height.

Results of the WORK of the school

superintendent of the Moline public
schools, in an address before go peo-
pie who attended the meeting of the
Parents Teachers club in the Gar
field school last evening.
"A few years ago." said Mr.. Max.
son, "66 per cent of the children in
the Moline schools were retarded
children. In other words at some
point in their school career they lad
not been passed on 10 the next grade
and for that reason were not in the
grade their age and number of years
spent in school should bring them to.
That per cent has not been reduced
to 40.
"Of that 40 per cent, 40 per cent are
retarded because of some physical
defect. That alone is sufficient reason
for having a school nurse. There are
many of the children who have
troubles that the parents never real
ize."
The meeting of teachers and par
ents was urged by Mr.. Maxson.
Clubs Good Thing.
THE mothers clubs are a coed,
thing" declared Mr.. MaXson, but the
parents-teachers' organizations are
better. for it is as much the duty and
pleasure and privilege of the fathers of
school children to be come acquainted
with their children's teachers and so
keep in touch with their work as it is
the mothers"
Mr.. MaXson also declared that the
schools should be used more as social
centers. The object is not simply to
teach arithmetic and geography, but to
build up good citizenship, he ex-
planned.
