6i PACE TWO The rate of tuition for all non--resi-- dent pupils of the Waukegan grade schools has been increased to $5 a month per pupil This action was taken by the board of education of the city schools at a meeting held Tuesday night. « The amount paid during the last five years has varied from forty cents per week for primary grade pupils to $1 per week for grammar grade pu-- pils. It has been found that this did not begin to cover the per capita cost per pupil for educational purposes, and therefore it has been decided to make a flat rate of $5 per month per pupil.

Later authorities learned that he was wanted in another state to finish a sentence. -- % When-- Holmes got the informaAtion he had to serve another sentence as soon as he was declarea sane he urg-- ed Green, then state superintendent of prisons, to get a board of physi-- cians to declare him sane so that he could finish <his "stretches."

ANC > q HELEN MORS VERA MORSE WALLACE NETZ > HARVEY NEWBORE RENA PARKER MILDRED PORTEOUS More than 200,000 school children in Illinois are going to schools built in t\l}o "hen coop" style ot architec-- ture, according to Mrs: Mary E. Ale shire of Plymouth, I!!., who is inter-- ested in beautifying school grounds in the state. MANY CHILDREN _ GO TO SCHOOLS ----IN "HEN COOPS" In canvassing the situation at pres-- ent Mrs. Aleshire said, "Many of the school buildings are set upon a bar-- ren stretch of ground or a clay hill, and there are' a few schools in the state that have cemeteries on their grounds. The unsightly condition of the rural school grounds make them the sore spot upon our Ilinois land-- scape, and gives urdisputed evidence of the need of an awakening to the possibilities that these premises hold in each community. h P Woman in Plea Against Un-- sightly, Unsanitary Buildings _ Buildings Used in Ilinois. -- "Rural school grounds should be so planted with native shrubs, vines and trees, that all light available for. the school windows will bée preseryv-- ed. The planting should leave a large space open for the pupils recreation, and at the same time form beautiful natural pictures. Space should be left for gardening activities so that the pupils will learn the rudiments of planting and caring for flowers and vegetables, and at . the same time learn to know our native flora, many types of which are becoming extinct. Rural Parks for Schools "Every school ground may be de-- veloped into a rural neighborhood park, Such a park will form a na-- tural retreat for our birds, many of which are of a great economic value. We have in Illinois 54 varieties of native trees, 150 native perennial vines, from 50 to 60 native shrubs and 70 to 80 perennial or nearly perennial flowers. Rural school grounds, decorated with these native plants will not on-- ly provide an expression of beauty, but will also serve to teach the chil-- d&ren of the vicinity the alphabet of beauty, and the desirability of creat-- ing better landscapes, Through famil-- larizing the child with our native flowers, which are fast disappearing, they will acquire a desire to own such flowers, and this desire will lead to their preservation.
