4 WORTHY EXAMPLE or
TIE COOPERATIVE SPIRIT

I From the Wilmington Labor Herald.
Due 10 a misunderstanding, all the
vorkmen who were working on The
dupont building addition walked out
recently. About three hundred work
ers were involved in the situation. all
OF them represented in the member
ship OF bbor organizations affiliated
with the Building Trades Council
EnOifs were made 10 effect a settle
ment OF the existing trouble. with the
result that The dupont Company's en-
gineering departments head met with
the representatives OF the. workmen,
talked over the situation across the
table, and an immediate settlement was
reached, which was agreeable 10 the
company, its contractors and the work
men The conference was held on Mon
day afternoon Of this week-and the
men were back at their Jobs the fol-
lowing morning.
This worthy example OF the true
cooperative spirit is one that should
be followed out generally in this dis
trict.

in dealing with rs employees has al
ways been based on atrcai human re-
lstlonship. Under the regime 0f Mr..

Three girls head the list of ten
honor students of the Rock Island
high school in the averages estab-
lished for four years of schooling.
Miss Dorothy CleaVeland stands
at the pinnacle. Her average is
94-24 per, cent In the four years
time she annexed 191 credits, 81
more than is required for gradua-
ton. This amounts to almost an
extra half years period.
Miss Gail Huntoon is in second
position with an average of 92.33
per cent She achieved 1741a cred
its.
Miss Ruth Burch ranks third.
Her average is 91.SS and her cred
its numbered 179.
According TO the ranking. Miss
Cleaveland is entitled to the Au-
gustana college honor scholarship,
but since she has chosen Welles-
ley College as her post-high school
institution, the scholarship reverts
to Miss HuntoOn.
The small differences in the ac-
tual mathematical averages shows
the splendid work of these stu
dents. For quality and consistency
of effort the rank is practically the
same and deserves special men
ton.

weeks ago.
Banks transferred their usual
Saturday closing to Wednesday, to
secure concerted action among the

the rule, inasmuch as they closed

Mr.. A G. Anderson.
MIR. H, H. cleveland.
"Gentle.nen: We, the holdover
members OF the Rock Island board
of education, wish to express our
regret that circumstances have
made it necessary for you to sever
your connection with this board.
THE people OF this school dis
trict owe you a debt of gratitude
for the interest you have shown in
and the work you have done for the
schools during the last nine years.
They appreciate it but their appre-
citation would be far greater if the
public knew, as much as the mem
bers of this board know, of the
time given and work done by you.
personally, we want to thank
you for the consideration you have
always shown US. 1t is difficult to
conceive Of more pleasant relations
than have always existed between
the members of this board. Such
cooperation has done much to make
pleasant the work of the board.
Your counsel has been wise,
your zeal untiring and the results
beneficial to the schools of Rock
Island. You can retire with the
consciousness of a duty we'll per-
formed, and we assure you gentle
men with the very best wishes Of
your fellow board members.

RESIGNS AFTER
IS YEARS WITH
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
S. S. KembIe Quits Poaition As
School Board Clerk Ending
Long Experience.

Samuel S. Kemble, of 827 Nine
teenth street, resigned his post as
clerk of the Rock Island board of
education in the board meeting
last evening.
His resignation is an event Of
note to many people of this city.
as he has been identified with Rock
Island schools for As years, and
has held the position Of clerk Of
the board since 1902.
THE city Of Rock Island is being
run by my boys today" said Mr..
Kemble this morning, meaning by
the men he has been instrumental
in teaching and knew as young
fellows. And he went on to name
a number of the prominent bus
mess and professional men Of the
city to prove his statement. Many
of them he taught personally in
some grade of school, and others
came under his supervision while
he was engaged in experimenting
schools or as city superintendent.
At the age of 50 and at the close Of
4AAo eALA4FC ANaAN III SkhOOA W. n
Mr.. Kemble can show long record
of service and continual advance
ment in serving.
Came Here in 1874.
In 1874, when he first came to
Rock Island, he began a period of
six years as principal of the school
now known as Hawthorne, then the
First ward school. In 1880 he was
elected principal of the high
school, but his capacity for organ
izing and overseeing was well
known, and he was wanted for o
higher job. Therefore in the fol-
lowing year he was advanced to the
position of superintendent of
schools. and he performed the re-
quired duties efficiently for IA
years. At the end of a vacation OF
five years spent in California Mr..
Kemble returned and shortly after
was asked to fill the seat of clerk
with the board yof education. He
accepted this in 1902, and remained
there II years, until last evening.
Thus passes from public duties
perhaps the most faithful and
demonstrative advocate of free
education that this city has ever
known, attended with the thanks
and congratulations of those who
know of his good works.
