HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The Knox debating league is no
more Trouble between the schools
caused a reorganization of the con-
stitution and a change of name.
The first trouble occurred last fall
when the tTi-city teams met for de-
bate Originally there were only
eight schools in what was termed the
Big Eight Debating league. This league
was under the direct control of Knox
college and questions and rules gov
erning debates each year were issued
from Knox college. The Big Eight
league. however. was not the only
league under the supervision of Knox
college The total membership in the
debating league soon reached q
schools and then trouble began. Sew
eral times questions for debate were
delayed, caused by objections from
schools which had no membership in
the Big Eight league. This did not at
first seriously hamper the schools, but
last year. without any warning, the
director at Knox college reversed the
order in which the sChols were TO de
bate Coach Kiber of Davenport, i'm
mediately began to form his teams &C
Cording 10 the new constitution, while
the Moline coach. unaware of the
change Of order prepared his teams on
the old plan. ". G. Robb of Rock Is
land also prepared his teams accord
ing to the old schedule.
When the date set for the debates to
take place was reached, difficulties
arose Immediately as to the order in
which 10 debate Moline insisted it
had received no notice of the change in
the schedule. and fatty refused TO de-
bate in the new order. Davenport per-
sisted in debating according TO sched-

FOSTER GETTING
HEALTH RESULTS
City Physicians Crusade Against Tn
sanitary Plumbing Conditions
In Rock Island Has Effect.
MUCH ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED
More Than Two Score Buildings In
stall New Systems in Com
pliance Departments Orders.

In HIS crusade on the unsanitary
plumbing conditions in the business
section of Rock Island Municipal
Health Physician c. T. Foster annOun-
ces that fine results have already been
accomplished More than two score
of buildings between Fifteenth and
Twenty-fourth streets north of Sec
ond avenue have installed sanitary
plumbing in compliance with his Or
ders.
Nineteen buildings north OF Third
avenue have been ordered by the
health physician to clean up" and in
stall the approved system and it is ex-
pected that the work on them will be
started Immediately.
Much commendation has been re-
ceived by the city commissioners on
the work OF DR.. Foster in his efforts
to improve health condition of Rock
Island. DR.. Foster has put in a great
deal OF time inspecting and listing
places where he thought conditions
should be improved, and he has
aroused the solid support of citizens
of Rock Island in his work.
Guarantee Against Disease.
After he has completed the task OF
making the business section of the
city sanitary, it is the intention of DR.
Foster to carry his war against the
offensive OuthOuses into the residence
districts and improve the conditions
generally.
While it will not put Rock Island or
strictly germ-prOOf' basis it will al
least put it on a more sanitary foot
ing and as DR.. Foster hopes, reduce
to the minimum the chances of dis
eases.
