CHANGES MADEAT
TRAINING SCHOOL
Mrs. Carrie O'Connor, Former
Poicewoman, Inaugu-
rates Reforms.
GIRLS BETTER TREATED
Corporal Punishment Is Abolished on
Ground That Practice Is Often
Carried Too Far.

Announcement is made by Mrs. Car
RE O'Connor, superintendent at the
Geneva training school for girls and
at one time policewoman in Moline,
that corporal punishment in all forms
has been abandoned at the school.
Reasons given by Mrs. O'Connor for
abolishing the practice in the state
institution are that there has never
been an institution where corporal
punishment has been allowed that
there has not been abuse of the right,
and because of the demonstrated fact
that while parent may punish his
own child without engendering re-
sentiment in the little ones mind, an
other person can not do so without in
shilling dislike and even hatred.
Mrs O'Connor assumed her duties
at Geneva one year ago yesterday.
She went to the school supported by
the best wishes and interest of hun
dreds of people in Rock Island county,
where her work was known and APP
preciated. She had had experience
in caring for hayward girls, having in
1907 been appointed policewoman for
the city of Moline. She is said to
have been the first woman in the
west, if not in the country, to be vest
ed with such authority. While acting
as policewoman here she also served
as city missionary and later became
chief probation officer of Rock Island
1t was while she was serv-
ing in that capacity that the juvenile !
court, which has since done such good |
work, was instituted in this count. |
under Judge B. S. Bell.
Mrs. O'Connor is a woman of great |
natural ability along the lines of work |
she has undertaken and she has the |
to attempt big things. Before |
assuming her duties at Geneva she had
lad experience in this county that
enabled her to take charge there with
thorough understanding of the sort

The Roof in Literature.

Northern literature has never taken
the roof seriously. There have been
many books written from the view
point of windows. The study window
is usual. Then there is college win
dow and the Thrums window; also,
there is a window viewpoint as yet
scarcely expressed-thato of the boy OF
Stevenson's poems with his nose fiat
tened against the glass; convalescence
looking for sailormen with one leg.
What is I'm Philosophe sous les
Toits" but a garnet and its prospect?
But does Souvestre ever go up on the
roof? He contents himself with open
ing his easement and feeding crumbs
to the birds. Not once does he climb
out and scramble around the mansard.
On wintry nights neither his legs nor
thoughts join the windy devils that
play tempest overhead. Then, again,
from Westminster bridges, from coun-
try lanes, from crowded streets, from
ships at sea and mountain tops have
sonnets been thrown to the moon; not
once from the roof.-Yale Review.

COMMISSIONER
FRIEND OF SNOW
Refuses to Haul Away Sweep
ings From Tracks of Tri-
City Railway Company.

The question OF whose snow is it,
has involved Commissioner Ed Eric
son and the Tri-City Railway company
in a dispute which, though not of a
serious nature. presents a humorous
phase. Following the late heavy snow
the traction company rushed ont its
rotary snow sweepers and proceeded
to sweep clean its right of way.
Sweeping the tracks clear of the snow
did not do away with the snow, but
only forced its accumulation on each
side CT the rails, where it made the
streets almost impossible. Following
a previous snow, Commissioner Eric
son ordered out his men and wagons
and at considerable cost to the city
had the snow swept from the tracks
and hauled away.
When snow fell again soon after
the completion OF the work and when
the railway company again rushed out
its sweepers. he rebeIled. The sweep
ers did their work, but the commits
sioner ordered out a grading pillow.
which threw the snow back upon the
traction company's right of way. II
don't want their snow" declares the
commissioner

Building a House in France.

1t is unusual for a house, however
small, to be erected in France without
the service of an architect, who not
only draws the plans, but actually SUI
perintends the work. Usually it is he
who orders the building material and
assures himself that its quality is up
to the specifications and requirements.
The contractor and his workmen per
form their duties in conformity with
the architects orders, and the latter,
who is usually a man with capital, adj
vances the funds required in order
that the contractor need not wait for
payment until the building is complet-
ed. Moreover, the French law i'm
poses on the architect a serious re-
sponsibility, since he as well as the
contractor is responsible for all de-
fects of construction during a period
of ten years.
