A very gratifying record Of the ben
evidence OF Mt. Vernon people is
shown In their donation OF -four for
the relief OF the impoverished Bel
gians. The offer was made several
weeks ago by the Northwestern Ele-
yator and Mill Co. to sell -four at cost
TO all who would contribute the same
10 this fund. The mill itself donated
so barrels and Mt. Vernon people have
added so barrels to this, making tot
a OF 100 barrels, which will be ship
ped from this city.
The donations came from churches
fraternal organizations and individual
members OF the community. An on
der for 140 sacks to hold the -four has
been sent out by the Northwestern
Mill. Each Of these sacks holds one
barrel. These will arrive In the city
IN several days. In the meantime. any
still desirous OF donating can do the
same, as ten extra sacks have beer

Regular Meeting OF Board
Of Education

A new idea will be given a try-out In
the primary grades of the Mt Vernon
public schools next year This will
be to dispense with desks in the First
grade and have all of the children
grouped around large tables. In this
way, it Is thought that more natural

the health of the children will accord.
ingly be better. This was the recon-
mendation of Supt. p. G. Zemer to the
board Of education at its regular
monthly meeting Monday evening.
Miss Chase's room in the First Ward
building will be used for the expert.
ment and five tables, at each of which
ten children can be seated, will be
purchased.
Owing to the fact that the method
row used in sending high school pu.
pills around to various buildings to
take the place of sick teachers, has
proved unsatisfactory because of fre-
quent cases of protracted illness, Supt.
Zemer was authorized to employ
substitute teacher whose duty It shall
be to act for all teachers temporarily
Ill.
The building committee was author
lied to place 20 loads of gravel on the
northeast side of the Third ward play

Supt. Zemer informed the board
that Janltor Charles McGugin Of the
First Ward building had recovered
f,om his illness and was able to re-
sumo his duties.
