The Democrats have been in
power today just fifteen months
and still none of the calamitics
predicted by the other side have
come to pass. The farmer is
getting more for the products of
the land than ever and is buying
snch articles as sugar at a less
price than ever. Isn't Democ-

Madison. Wis. July S.-Mrs. Louise
B. Nagler of Madison, Wis. wife of the
assistant secretary of state. has a new
theory for the correct teaching of sex
hygiene to children in the public
schools. She would have the student
study at least one type of each group
of the plant and animal kingdom,
thereby allowing the induction OF prin-
ciples and laws which govern all living
things.
In this way the pupils are led to see
and understand for themselves that
laws governing human life are I'M
changeable as the laws governing plant
and animal life.
Mrs. Nagler is actively engaged in
lecturing throughout the United States
on the child subject and is a member
of the staff of the lecture department

NO CAMP AIGN ON
AGAINST THE RAT
Health Commissioner, How
ever, Urges Reasonable
Precautions Be Taken.

Asked today as to the efforts. if any.
to be taken to encourage the extermi-
nation of rats in accordance with the
request of the Illinois state board of
health, DR.. G. G. Craig. city health
commissioner, stated that, inasmuch
as there is no occasion for alarm in
Rock Island at this time, it was not
his intention to ask for a bounty on
the rodents or 10 otherwise inaugurate
a general campaign of slaughter.
Il have received the notice from the
state board of health" said he, land
/ feel that the warning should be Sc
riously considered. Rats as carriers
of disease are always a menace and
every effort should be made at all
times TO destroy them. While the dan
ger OF bubonic plague beng brought
to Rock Island by them with the dis
ease limited to a small area at New
Orleans is too remote to call for any
expensive campaign at this time,
join in urging residents of the city
TO use all reasonable precautions"

THEN AND NOW

Seventy-five years ago today the first
state normal school in the United
States was opened in Lexington, Mass.
The parlor of a boarding house was
the cradle of this educational system.
In those days 1t was thought that a
school Ito teach teachers how to
teach" was a needless expenditure of
time and money. Unable to secure
state aid, the pioneers accepted mon
ey offered by EdmuDd Dwight, who
later became conspicuously Identified
with the new educational movement.
The first class, consisting of five girls,
had the Rev. Cyrus Peirce of Nan
tucket as its teacher. At the end OF
the first year the school. known as
the Lexington academy, had % stu
deHts-all girls. 1t had demonstrated
its worth so thoroughly that the legis-
lature voted by a large majority to
sufficient funds to estab-
lish it as a permanent adjunct to the
system. Today the nor
NAL school is an indispensable part
of the public school system through
out the United States. 1t exerts
influence over the 52S, 600
school teachers who are instructing
IS 600, 900 school children. The old
time pedagogue, who was considered
efficient If he or she had mastered the
three RS, is giving way to the highly
trained normal school graduate who
has spent two or more years In dill
gent study to prepare for the profes-
sion. There are more than 300 public
and private normal schools in the
United States today. The number OF

Commissioners Hold Informal
Session to Consider Several
Important Matters.

The city commissioners this after
noon held an informal session conven-
in in the commissioners room at .: 80
o'clock. Two matters were to be TAX
en- up for consideration.

Bids for the cars were received several
days ago and ranged in price from
$3.50 to $3.50.

submit to the council the matter of
better drainage for the city. The re-
cent heavy rains have proved that
such must have attention in order to
avoid the flood conditions in the lower
