We may we'll be astonished at the
death certificate recently submitted

lost her life for want OF food, or on
account of starvation and perhaps for
other things of her comfortables, and
most probably she died by drowning"

Especial to Times-Recorder)
CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-To the occas-
1 ional residents along Western avenue,
from Sixty-ninth street to Seventy
ninth street, it may seem bit rom
antic to see the pair Of them, the tall,
blue clad policeman, with cleaning
brass buttons and shining billy
school books under his arm, and the
young school teacher. Every morning
they will be seen together, going to
school. Every afternoon they will be
seen returning as regularly as pulling
the box
Romantic? Not at all. It's a mere
matter of duty for the policeman. He
is doing it on orders of the chief. And
the school teacher is merely falling
back on the protective agencies Of the
city in passing through more or less
unfrequented and perilous section Of
the city.
Teaches City "District SCHOOL"
She is Miss Edna z. Juchhoff, a
teacher in branch No. 1 of the Raster
school. The school consists of one
portable, district school" in the city
limits, at Seventy-ninth street and
Western avenue. 1t cares for about
forty children of several grazes in the
section of the city called Forest Hill.
The policeman is Charles Godfrey Of
the Englewood station. Beginning to-
day he will meet Miss Juchhoff at the
corner of Western avenue and Sixty
ninth street at $3.50 a. m. He will
make it a part of his beat to escort her
to school a little more than a mile
south. At 3 in the afternoon he will
be waiting on the steps of the school,
and together they will return to Sixty
ninth street.
Asked Superintendent for Escort
Miss Juchhoff told Supt. ella Flagg
Young of the dangers of the journey,
and the arrangement for her protec-
ton followed Chief of Police Gleason
wrote to the board of education yester-
day, promising to have a policeman
accompany Miss Juchhoff. The school
teacher wrote as follows to Mrs.
Young:
when we were discussing my ap-
pointment did not realize the dangers
to a woman going alone from the car
to the school. AS 1 told you, am not
easily frightened, but l feel that the
fear of attack by tramps from the rail-
road yards and men coming out of the
saloons along the way, who make a
practice of calling to every woman
passing, is making me nervous and
will, if continued, not only decrease
my efficiency but impair my health"
The murder of Ida Leegson, a nurse,
about a year and half ago, took place
not far from the district through
which Miss Juchhoff passes.
