Proposal
Especial Correspondence

schools OF Rock Island county,
made it known during his visit here
this week. that he is considering a
plan for the establishment Of a
community high school district
with Illinois city as the center, for
the benefit of Drury and Buffalo
townships.
The establishment of such a dis
trict would bring the high school
within easy reach of the students
Of the two townships, 'Superintend-
ent Washburn believes, and yet the
support of such a school would not
prove burdensome to the taxpayers
of the area affected.
1t is pointed out by Superintend-
ent Washburn, that the young peo-
pie Of this vicinity are entitled to
the same educational advantages
enjoyed by other similar localities
and that with the nearest high
school approximately 20 miles
away, they are being denied the
privilege.
Superintendent Washburn was
accompanied on his visit here BY
his wife, and during their stay they
called at the George d. Foster ant
d. A. kleist homes.
