May Give LUNCH
IN HIGH SCHOOL
Board of Education Considers
Supplying Pupils With
Noon Meal.
USE ROOM IN BASEMENT
Miss Lizzie Crawford of Milan Is APP
pointed Principal of the Aiken
Street School.

1t is likely that provision will be
made to furnish lunch to the pupils
of the high school. The matter was
discussed at length at the meeting of
the Rock Island board of education last
evening and was finally left in the
hands of the supply committee of
Which w. H. Thomas is chairman.
Lunches have never been furnished
to the pupils of the local school,
thought many of the pupils bring their
luncheons and a room in the basement
has been set aside for them to use at
noon. With small expenditure it will
be possible to fit this up for the serv-
ing of light lunches, as is done in many
schools, a reasonable charge being
made.
Miss Lizzie Crawford was appointed
principal of the Aiken street school,
which was taken over as part of the
city system this fall. Miss Crawford
is from Milan and is one of the four
teachers in the building. When the
school was part of the South Rock Is
land district there was no principal.
Miss Katherine Ferry was elected
teacher to devote half her time to the
department at the high
school.
The question of purchasing an add
ing machine for the use of the COM
mercial department was left with Pres
ident H. H. Cleaveland, with power to
act
An appropriation of $3.50 was made
for the annual supply of reference
books for the high school library.

through the recorders office and down
the hall to the main steps and walked
to the first floor. Just outside of the

heavy flash and bang of rifles set the
countess trembling again.
Until the firing ceased she stood as

was human life. While villages were

used as rollers for launching new
and heavy war canoes, their lives be-

who looked after navigation, and it
was a common practice to bury men
alive under the foundations of new

man died his wives, friends, and some
times even his mother, willingly came
forward and were strangled to death

Today over 100000 Fijians still in

their weird superstitions still prevail,
and on feast days the warriors paint
their faces, don their strange grass

go through their noisy, war.club

are crimes Of the past, and a Fiji who
