The employer who fails in his

PLAN OF BOARD
East Moline May Have Another
Building to Be Used Also As
Community Center.

East Moline will have new
school building to meet the needs
of the growing population, especial
ly in the district adjacent to the
government housing projects and
also to serve as a community CEN
ter, IL plans underway by the East
Moline school board of education
materialiZe.
T. z. Adleman, president OF the
board that met last evening. named
a committee of tire to Investigate
regarding the material and cost of
a building. On the committee are
w. F. Potter, G.. +. Schtlling and
Oscar Lundeen. The board has sug-
gested that the John Deere build
ing, at the head of Ninth street, be
torn down and the new structure
built in its place. The board recon-
mends a two-story building with
about ten or twelve rooms, ade-
quate to handle the seventh and
eighth grade classes of the entire
city and also to furnish room for
a class In the lower grades. A
large auditorium to be used for
community meetings is also contem-
plated.
II the committee reports favor
ably, the question will be put to
vote at the spring election. The
John Deere building is about TWEEN
ty years old and is in need of much
repair. The expense of repairing
the school would be large and
eventually the city will be compel
led to find more room to house its
school children.
The board has suggested that the
building be made on the order of
the Mckinley school in Moline
The school could be built on the
second terrace and the first ter
race would be filled in. The meet
ing last evening was adjourned,

J. ". Caste, who will speak on the
subject: Beautiful Athens" Mr.

better perspective Of public opinion
was to be had than later on, as
German propaganda very soon dis
credited Greece N the eyes OF the
world at large, her true position be-

Mr. Caste has consented 10 ampiify
it so as to include pictures and de-

mentioned places as well as those
pertaining to Athens alone. These
pictures Will illustrate such things
as cities. famous buildings and
monuments OF antiquity, country

oner at Metz and securing his re-
lease at the time Of the signing of
