County Teachers That They Should
Not Preach Everlastingly.

Avoid preaching and clock watch
ing"
This was the message carried to
teachers OF Rock Island county by w.
II. Cheever, who addressed the in
structors at the opening of the second
day of the county institute at the Rock
Island high school this morning.
Mr.. Cheever's topic was Mental Re-
action AS Result of Natural Environ
ment,' a discussion of things consti-
tuting natural environment.
1T is necessary" he said, "for all
teachers to be students of life" He
warned teachers to avoid preaching
and clock watching. He also said that
they should be specially careful in the
correction CT misconceptions concern
ing countries, peoples. and industries
He spoke of the necessity of every
teacher being a good story teller. He
then gave a short talk on the coming
Importance of the Balkans and the
Russians, and devoted his remaining
minutes on a review of the skill and
knowledge a child should possess on
entering school.
Miss Ellis subject today was, "In the
Interpreters House" She aimed to
show teachers who were most success
full in handling reading, were the ones
who were able to vitalize 1t and that
true poets were true reporters Of life
as it really is. She said Browning, OF
all poets, was a true reporter Of life.
She closed her lecture with a reading

HUBBY FAILS TO
REFORM;DIvORCE
East Moline Woman Says He Promised
Her Before Marriage But He Broke
Faith and Now She Sues.

That she was inveigled into mar,
rage on the belief that her prospect
i've husband had reformed and haC
ceased the drink habit, later after mar.
rage to discover that he hadn't, is the
plea Mrs. May Richeson makes in &
suit for divorce which she filed today
against William d. Richeson.
The bill at length recites her dis
appointment upon the discovery that
her spouse had not turned over a new
leaf. 1t also goes on to say that after
numerous times when he came home
intoxicated he made promises that he
would refrain from drink, but after
four years she discovered that his
weakness was too great for him to
overcome. The couple married July
16, 1912, and lived together until Aug.
l6, 1916, when she left him. The cou-
pie lived in East Moline.
Fred Wooton has started suit against

THREE YEAR OLD
BROWNS IN RIVER
Julia. Daughter of Peter Estawicz
Meets Tragic Death at Foot of
FOrty.fifth Street.
PLAYMATE IS ONLY WITNESS
Latter Unable to Tell Coherent StOr,
of the Tragedy-May Have
Fallen OF Wall.

Julia Estawicz, three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Esta-
wicz, 221 FOrty-fifth street, was drown
ed at noon today when she either fell.
jumped or was pushed into the old
mill race at the foot of the street on
which she lived
Julia with playmate, whose name
could not be ascertained, were playing
along the bank of the stream by them
selves and the other little girl was the
only witness of the tragedy 1t was
not until she, pale and frightened
went screaming up the street to the
home of the drowned child, that her
parents learned the terrible fate of
their little daughter.
Help was summoned from the police
station and police with dragnets and
hooks were hurried to the scene, but
up to a late hour today the body had
not been recovered. Because of the
swift current at the place where the
little girl is supposed to have tumbled
it is believed it will be hard matter
to find the body
Julia's playmate was so overcome
with fright that she could not tell a
coherent story of it.
However, Peter Estawicz, father of
the drowned girl, in giving his opinion
of the death of his daugter, said he be-
lieved the children were playing along
the wall when Julia either slipped and
fell in or her little playmate stumbled
and fell against the latter, knocking
her in.

trace had been reported early today

the two convicts who yesterday es-
capped from the prison farm near

ANOTHER PARALYSIS
CASE rs FOUND HERE

DR.. c. IT. Foster, city health physi-
clan, today reported another case OF
infantile paralysis had been found in
Rock Island. The latest victim is Will
son of Mr. and Mrs. Neal LATHE, 814
Fourteenth street. The case, which is
a very pronounced one, was discov-
cred by DR.. Foster last night, and pre-
cautions were taken Immediately and
the home placed under quarantine. The
LATHE lad will no doubt suffer per-
manently from the effects of the dis
ease. This makes the third case of in
fantile paralysis in Rock Island. One
chill died and the other will be released
from quarantine in a few days, having
recovered

This reading was thought by many
teachers to be the feature of the week
so far. and was praised by all who
heard it. Miss Ellis rendering OF the
piece was exceptional and exhibited
Enthusiastically the true spirit OF an
artist
Miss Curtis. the final speaker Of the
morning, devoted the main part OF her
time TO review of yesterdays sec
tional meeting. This she dramatized
in the auditorium, with the aid of
few members OF the institute She ad-
vised against exact memorization and
urged the use of child imagination
rather than artificial scenery and mi
mute details. She urged informally
in the child's plays, rather than stiff
acting, which is never original after
the first performance.

WANT MONUMENT
FOR BLACK HAWK
AOId Settlers Heartily Endorse Plan of
Historical Society for Memorial
for Famed Indian Chief.
HAVE SITE FOR SUCH STATUE
Location of Old Village is at Intersec-
ton of Ninth and Twelfth Streets
i'm Sears.

! The plan of the Rock Island Histor
/ zeal society to erect monument to
! Chief Black Hawk at Roc river was
! heartily endorsed by the Old Settlers
| association of Rock Island county al
| the annual reunion held yesterday af-
| ternoOn at the Watch Tower. The plan
| of the historical society is to place the
monument at the intersection of Ninth
and Twelfth streets, in the old town OF
Sears. There is an available site for
such a monument in front of Pate s
store. Although the historical society
has taken no definite steps toward
raising a fund for this purpose it is
probable that it will do so in the near
future.
One idea-that of erecting combina-
ton drinking fountain, watering place
and mOnument-has already been adj
vanced. There has also been som ,
talk of moving the statue of Blacl
Hawk, now in Spencer square, to
Sears. The city council would have to
concur in this action and to some it
does not appear as a feasible scheme,
as strenuous objections may be raised.
The statue of Black Hawk now in
Spencer square cost in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000 to erect.
1t was also pointed out by some of
the old settlers yesterday that there is
no marking to show the exact location
of the original watch tower. Man
ager George Stephenson has many in
quiries to that effect The original
watch tower was a giant cottonwood
tree, now destroyed, which stood about
thirty feet, just to the east of the pOinc
of the bluff at the tower. Chief Black
Hawk often climbed this tree to survey
the surroundings. There is no mark
ing of any kind at this historical spot.
Black Hawks village was located to
the west of the tower hill and a monu
ment at the intersection of Twelfth and
Ninth streets would show the exact
location of his home.
Woman of 81 Talks.
The speaking program in connection
with the old settlers reunion yester-
day afternoon was not without its fea-
lures. Mrs. f. M. Arcularius of Hamp-
ton, who is "a and the oldest of the old
settlers to attend the picnic, spoke for
few minutes.
An interesting talk was also given
by Mrs. Blanche Bowman Little of Chi
cagO. Her father, DR.. Bowman, was
one of the earliest settlers in the coun-
ty and he lived just east of Andalusia
and was Indian agent for time here
Mrs. Little delighted her hearers with
stories of survivors of the old Sank
tribe. who are now on the reservation
in Oklahoma. Many of them remem-
bered this historical spot. Short talks
were also made by J. L. Brasher. Chi
cago; j. F. Kelly, president of the
Pioneers society of Scott county, and
J. F. Murphy of Coal Valley. Another
visitor at the meeting was B. B. Sc |
vile, old settler of this county, who |
came from his home in Emanclaw, |
Wash.

BADLY MIXED FIGHT
SETTLED IN COURT

The case of Ross Putnam, jitney bus
operator. against Harry Olson, Rock
Island blacksmith, was heard by Po-
lice Magistrate Smith today. Olson was
fined SIS.
The trouble took place Saturday
night. In police court, despite the aid
OF witnesses, a clear story of the affair.
which amounted to fight could not be
gained. Each of the principals when
on the stand placed all the blame on
the other, their stories of the encount-
er agreeing in no particular.
After hearing them both through
and the testimony of witnesses the
Judge gave Olson and Putnam both a
lecture on street conduct and then
made the assessment against the de-
PENDANT. He paid.
