Five Thousand Pupils Get Vacation
As Result Of Order of Board Clos

Action in Abandoning Work Temper.
arily Follows Thorough Study Of
Coal Situation.

Rock Island schools closed this aft
ornoon for a period OF week or more
TO help carry the city over the present
fuel crisis.
This announcement was made by n.
II. Cleaveland, president of the city
school board, following a thorough
study Of the situation. Mr.. Cleaveland
was in conference with the fuel ad-
ministration yesterday and the decis-
ion was reached today
Although the Moline schools closed
Monday Of this week, there was no en-
deavor on the part Of the Rock Island
school to shut down. inasmuch as
there was a moderate supply of coal
on hand for the buildings in this city.
However, since the fall semester ends
today, it was deemed advisable to shut
down at this time as it was feared that
eventually the schools would have to
close and it would be better to dis
continue the work temporarily with
the termination Of the semester since
studies could be taken UP again when
school is resumed more easily than II
the break came at some other time.
Have Small Supply.
The schools here have a supply OF
coal on hand which would carry them
over for several days or week and
more fuel probably would be available
next week for them. Yet by closing
the schools for time big saving in
coal will be realized. 1t was thought
yesterday and for time today that
arrangements could be made by the
schools to secure coal from nearby
mines but this was found improbabl,
Failure to get promise of this fuel was
q factor in determining the course Of
the board
1T is probable that the schools viii
be closed only a week" Mr.. Cleave
land said today. IF the present stu
ation clears itself at the end of next
week studies will be resumed on Mon
day. Jan. Is. We will know more
about that later, however Today be
ng the end of the fall semester gives
the opportunity to close without inter.
rupting the work as much as il the
suspension came during semester
When the children return to schoo
they will take up the spring semester
work.
Five thousand children are affected
by the order of the school board.
