SCHOOL PROBLEM
Question of COngested Conditions
When New Semester Opens Touched
Upon by Directors.
ASK COOPERATION OF PARENTS
Urge That All New Pupils Be Placed
in Charge of Teachers Monday So
Enrolment Can Be Made.
ASK COOPERATION OF PARENT

The crowded conditions of Rock Is
land public schools formed the main
burden of the discussion at special
meeting of the board of education last
night. The new semester opens next
Monday and with it many changes in
the schools of the city may come. In
the high school, especially, an increase
in the enrolment to 500 students is ex-
pected and the board has adopted the
continuous program plan formulated
| by Principal A. ]. Burton, which uti
Lies the noon hour for two recita-
ton periods for all students who wish
to take subject at that time.
In the other schools, however, the
tension promises to be almost equally
great and for this reason the board
announces that as special request it
desires all parents who have children
of years Of age or children who will
be that age before the close of the
semester to start them to school i'm
mediately upon the beginning of the
new term. If the children are sick or
for some other reason are unable to
enter Immediately their parents should
notify the principal of the school, SO
that adequate provisions may be made
for the new pupils.
''This action" asserted Superintend-
ent E. G. Fisher, sis made absolutely
necessary by the conditions of the
schools. Conditions are such that If
about fifteen students entered school
the first day and about ten few days
later the whole system of graduation
might have to be changed for these pu-
pills" Mr.. Fisher hopes to have the
cooperation of the parents in this mat
ter for the good OF both pupils and
school.
| Heating Contract Approved.
The board also approved the heating
contract for the Franklin school with
Allen Myers & Co. and adopted for that
school the national system of heat reg
ulation. For the schools gymnasium
the board selected Galesburg brick.

LON GROESBECK
is CONVICTED
Jury Brings in Verdict Of
Guilty as Charged After
Deliberating 2i Hours

The jury in the case of the state
against Lon Groesbeck, indicted by the
grand jury for violation of the gamb-
ling law, retired for deliberation Fri
day afternoon at one O'Clock. Shortly
before 10 o'clock this morning they re-
turned a verdict finding defendant
guilty as charged.
The verdict came as something of a
surprise to most people. the long
silence of the jury raising the expecta-
tion among the friends of the defendant
in particular, that verdict of not
guilty or a disagreement would result
Following the verdict, the court
thanked the jury for the manner in
which they had performed an nm
pleasant duty. Tuesday next at ! 80
D. m. was fixed as the time for passing
sentence. In the meantime the de-
fendant was admitted to bail, the
amount being increased from $1,000 to
$1,000.
The jurors trying the case were Ute
V. Perkins, foreman, VIM. Kirwin,
Elmer Bowman, Richard Cooper,
Howard Conklin, F. j Rushton, Sher-
man Thomas, Eugene Burnum, p. M.
Housman, S. E. Whitney, James II.

Witnesses were as follows:

Defendant in rebuttal, Sam Gay,
Minor Cheney, Joe Keate. Leo A. Nc
Nance, Dan J. O'Leary.
The evidence was conflicting, the
court at one time during the trial being
obliged by the testimony of a witness
for the defense to call attention to the
law relating to purjury. Every effort
was made to discredit the witnesses
for the state, but this portion of the
defense fell fiat, reacting strongly in
favor of the prosecution.
District Attorney Henderson con-
Quoted the case in a very able and
businesslike manner from start to
finish. He was unusually strong in lis
presentation of the case to the jury.
