FOR DISCIPLINE:
Earl Raker, Former Moline Music
Supervisor, Establishes Honor
system in Minneapolis.

Out of $50 pupils enrolled in
the study of music in the city OF
Minneapolis during the last sem
ester only two failed in their work
and not a single student had to be
sent 10 his office for refusal TO obey
the rules OF discipline which he
had established That is the re-
markabie record which Earl l.
Baker, former supervisor of music
in Moline public schools but now
assistant supervisor in Minneapo-
lis, has made with an honor sys-
TEN which he has installed and by
which the principles of self-gov-
eminent are taught.
One OF the features of the ma
tional convention Of music super
Visors which is being held at Ev-
ansville, Ind. this week, will be an
address by Mr.. Baker in which he
Will outline his theories relative to
the proper way to handle children
during school hours
He is of the opinion that the av-
erage pupil will not shirk his full
dury if kindness. sympathy and
fairness are used by the teacher,
-but that the opposite effect Will re
suit II sarcasm or anger is tried.

WANTS PAY FOR
REPORTING HERE
University OF California Teacher
Says lie VIII Not Obey Orders
Unless Given SO a Day.

Just listen to the text OF this tela-
gram which John Coburn. clerk Of
the Moline exemption board has re-
celved from a professor on tho fac
ulty OF the University Of California,
called to report in Moline for phys
ical examination: "Will reporr
only in case you send me in adj
vance round-trip expense and sal-
airy at the rate Of $40 a day. Mat
ter is entirely NJ TO you. Leave for
inaccessible mountain region Mon
day night. II you expect 70 reach
me you will have 10 wire MuAday.'
In referring TO the unusual atti-
tude which the writer has taken
Mr.. Coburn said: "Had the pro-
fessor acted decently IN the matter
when he was first called his case
probably would have been disposed
of long before this. II is under
stood that he is married but he has
set up no claim to that effect"
Several weeks ago the locas
board received a letter from him
rapping the government employees
for their loose methods and criti-
Ching the selective service regula-
lions. Clerk Coburn was at a loss
to know what the man was writing
about, as the communication gave
no information of any kind that
would help the local board in set
ting the case. Had he made re.
quest at that time he could have
been transferred 10 his local board
in California.
Instructions were received Sat

WATER WAGON ON FIRE.

A perfectly good water wagon,
belonging to T. w. Reno, Moline,
was temporarily put out of COM
mission this morning, as result OF
a fire which destroyed the front
end of the truck, including the up
holstery and top. The blaze started
while Reno was filling the gasoline
tank under the seat, but just what
caused the blaze is not known. The
supposition is that the new type of
sopper funnel being used caused
the gasoline to ignite. Firemen
from Central station put the fire

CONSIDER PLANS

Board of Education Appoints Com.
mittee To Investigate Cost of
Employing Official

Plans for the employment of a
school nurse were made at the
meeting of the East Moline board
of education last evening. 1t has
been felt for some time that a
nurse should be appointed because
OF the growing necessity for a clos
er physical inspection of pupils.
Last evening a committee compos-
ed of Oscar Lundeen, Mrs. S. A.
Cartwright and George F. Schilling
was named to investigate the feast
bility of the scheme and present a
report to the next meeting
Arrangements were made for the
annual school election which is to
be held April 20, between the hours
of 2 and at the John Deere school.
Mrs. S. A. Cartwright was named
clerk and G. F. Schilling and Oscar
Lundeen, judges.
W. H. Whitsitt, Moline architect,
was present and explained plans
which he has drawn for two room
additions which are to be built this
summer at Lincoln, Garfield and

make her future home. The resig-
nation of Francis Leaman, princi-

STAND TOGETHER
TO DEFEAT HUNS
America and England, Should Other
Allies Fail, VIII Never Submit
to Prussian Rule.

America and England, should
all other allies stop, will stand to-
gether until the ends of time to de
feat Prussian militarism"
That was the sentiment express
ed by Arthur w. Evans, noted New
York City orator, at the Moline
Commercial club last evening that
brought every member of the After
Dinner club to his feet, loudly
cheering and waving flags.
The address was filed with pa
triotic ardor and one of the most
dramatic that has been heard in the
Pillow City since war was declared.
f'America means tolerance, fra
ternity and brotherhood" said the
speaker. 1T means tolerance and
a chance for the average man. In
this country we are all pals with
one desire. one flag, one ambition
to bring the aims of HohenZollern
to naught The day Of kings has
passed. We have a king in Eng
land, but, Great Scott! who pays
any attention to him? We use
| George V. instead of rubber stamp
to mark our laws.
This is the land of opportunity.
Any young man who fails in Amer
lea would fizzle in heaven. The
hardest day we ever saw in this
country would be a holiday in Eu-
rope"
He declared 1t his opinion that
helpful criticism of the mistakes of
the government were an aid instead
of a hindrance. and, said that this
right to express individual ideas
relative to the way the nation S
business is conducted is the chief
characteristic of a democracy as
compared to an autocracy.
At the business session, on mo-
ton Of r. S. Haney, half of the sur
plus funds of the club, amounting
to $3.50. was voted to be spent for
third Liberty bonds. A committee
was named to nominate officers for
the year, the election to take place
next month.

MANY HEROES OF
REVOLUTION ARE
BURIED IN STATE

Springfield. Iu.-SiX hundred and
siXty-eight soldiers who fought in
the Revolutionary war are buried
in Illinois. the graves Of some two
hundred of whom have been mark
ed. it is revealed in a book just
published by Mrs. Harriet J. Walk
eT OF Los Angeles, Cal, formerly
Of Springfield. a worker in the
Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton.
The book, bound in blue cloth,
printed in blue ink and embellish-
ed by delicate vignettes, contains
large number OF engravures of
national heroes and monuments OF
state interest. The work Of COM
piling the data extended over a pc
Rod of seven years, Mrs. Walker
states in her introduction. Speak
ing of the heroes of Americas first
war, Mrs Walker says:
Historical research has asCer-
tanned that more than six hundred
came to Illinois. They died and
are buried in the state. Eighty
one counties are honored as being
the burial places of these men who
belonged to the nations roll Of
honor They came from all the
original states and from Vermont
and Kentucky. More than five hun
dred were granted pensions from
the government, while others whose
records Of revolutionary service
have been established never applied
for pension.
Some long have slept in IN
marked graves beneath the roots
Of tangled weeds of fields or cOun-
try grayeyards; other lie wher9
lettering slabs Of slate still marx
their last resting place: while 4
few are honored by stately mOnu-
ments erected by descendants who
cherish the memory of their an
cestors.
Bronze markers have been plac-
ed in seven counties by the Sons
and Daughters Of the American
Revolution bearing the names Of
revolutionary soldiers buried in the
respective counties. Mrs. Walker
states. The federal government
also. it is said. has placed MARKERS
over many graves.
Notes is given the fact that the
book is published in the Illinois
