SPORTS DAY At
JOSLIN PROVES
ITSELF WINNER
Concluding Day Of Fair Draws
Crowd Of S,s00 People Through
TurnStiles.
fsnecial to The Argus.l

Especial to The Argus.)
Joslin, Aug. 2S-Sports day is a |
big success at the Rock Island
fair. This is the first year
it has had place on the fair pro-
gram and it bids high to remain
when future events are planned.
More than thirty-fiye hundred peo-
pie turned out for the final day,
which prompted Judge Floyd E..
Thompson, president of the fair as
ISOLATION, to remark that sports
day justifies itself and is certain
to be made permanent. 1t marks
the close of the most largely at
tended fair in the history of the
event in Rock Island county. The
exhibits have been excellent with
the possible exception Of beef cat
tie.
The feature Of this morning was
the baseball game between the
Yuma White Sox and the East Mo-
line Harvester, which the former
won by score OF 13 to s. The East
Moline band is on hand to furnish
the music.
Slow Ford Race.
The first event on this afternoons
program was the slow Ford race.
This was won by Roy Mercer of Mo-
line, who had his Liz tuned to such
perfection that all the others were
Nforced to beat him over the finish
line of the one7half mile race. His
time was 5 minutes and Is seconds.
A heavy rain during the night help
ed to settle the dust, making the
last day one of keen enjoyment to
the spectators from the standpoint
of comfort.
Bob Burt, the aviator, was ready
to exhibit his ability in the air this
afternoon. The breaks to his plane
resulting from yesterdays mishap
were repaired and he announced
that he would give two exhibition
flights to make up for the one
scheduled for yesterday.
Planes Crash.
In making a landing yesterday
Aviator Roy Youman was caught
in an unexpected gust of wind and
blown into the plane piloted by Bob
Burt which was at one end Of thu
infeld. The right wing of the
Youman plane was damaged con-
siderably and one of the uprights
on the Burt machine was broken.
The accident happened just before
the afternoon program of stunts
and of course made the demonstra-
ton impossible. However, the
crowd was not completely disap-
pointed for the two aviators in one
plane had thrilled the spectators
sometime before when one of them
left his seat and walked about the
wings of the machine while high il
the air.

Owen B. Wright Principal Of New
School Makes Program for
Coming Tear.

Arrangements for supervised
study hours. school home system
where opening exercises will be
held, and opening Of the new aud
itorium Is q community center are
q few of the features on the pro-
gram for the year as drawn up by
Owen B. Wright principal OF the
new Washington school, on Eigh-
teenth avenue and Thirty-third
street.
Mr.. Wright takes the principal
ship Of the new school as a man OF
experience. After his four years OF
training at the Illinois State Normal
school at Normal, ILL.,, he taught in
the country grades for two years
at Wabash county, ILL.,, later was
principal for one year OF the Ray
mond, ILL.,, high school, two years
principal OF the Nakomis high
school, and two years, prior to his
coming here, was superintendent OF
the Nakomis grade schools. He had
IS teachers under him while super
i1tendent.
Varies Program.
The program for the Washington
school, which opens Monday, varies
in some respects from other de-
partmental schools in this city.
There will be no study hall, where
pupils may study during school
hours, but instead Mr.. Wright has
arranged for supervised study,
whereby the students stay in the
last recitation room for 80 minutes
to study for the next days lesson
under the supervision OF the in
structor of that course.
The school home idea, which MI.
Wright is introducing into the
Washington school, provides for
about forty students to each room,
where opening exercises will be
held every morning. The exercises
will be either a review of current
events, speaking, readings, singing
or talks by the teacher in charge OF
that room.
Assigned Rooms.
The pupils will be assigned to the
same room during the entire semes-
ter. This will be held beside the
regular assembly which will be
called once or twice a week by the
principual.
Mr.. Wright urges that the com.
munity use the auditorium. which
will be ready in a few weeks, as 6
community center. Meetings, plays
and other entertainments may b.
given there. The Washington school
according to present plans, viii
put on plays and operettas.
Formal Opening Later.
The formal opening Of the schoo
will not be held for probably twt
months yet, as the school is no
completed.

groups Of rs, seven groups in tn
school. They are assigned to thei
studies by groups. Eight teacher

| mary class. Nearly 200 are ex
pected to enroll in the seventh an

training. music, drawing and man
; ual training will be offered at tn
school.
