HARPER TEACHES IN TUCSON Dean of Boys at New Trier High School Resigns; School Board in Tribute New Trier's loss is Tucson's gain. George A. Harper, member of the faculty at New Trier High school since 1906 and dean of boys there for 17 vears, has left the north shore and established himself permanently in the Arizona city where he has accepted a position on the faculty of the Tucson High school. A letter, prompted by Mr. Harper's recent decision to resign that he might seek another climate in the effort to completely regain his vigor, was made public this week by the board of ed- ucation of the high school. The letter is a splendid tribute to the invaluable service rendered New Trier by Mr. Harper over his score of years' asso- ciation with the school. The letter reads: Departure Regretable "At a meeting of the School hoard held Tuesday evening, August 16, your letter of resignation was read by the superintendent and accepted with very deep regret, It is difficult to express to you the measure of loss that the members of the School board and the superintendent feel will be experienced by the school on account of your with- drawal, just -as it is difficult for us to express the sympathy we feel for you on account of the circumstances that seem to make your decision necessary. "Your service to New Trier High school has been of such a character that it has become a part of the in- stitution itself. For seventeen years you have given unsparingly of your inspiring character and stimulating mind to the youth of the north shore villages and your influence for good has been far reaching. It is unfortun- ate for us that circumstances over which none of us have any control seem to make it necessary for you to establish your home in a more favor- able climate. It is the earnest wish of each member of the School board and the superintendent that your good work may continue in your new en- vironment. School Owes Great Debt "New Trier owes you much, more than it can ever repay, and after all this is the truest measure of the high- est success. The best wishes of each member of the School board and su- perintendent go with you; best wishes for long and continued usefulness in your chosen profession and a larger measure of good health for yourself and your family. If any of us can at any time be of service to you the op- portunity would be regarded as a privilege." "Your former associates and always vour friends." Superintendent Frederick E. Clerk in commenting on Mr. Harper's de- parture from New Trier said: "I expect there were no boys who graduated from New Trier within the last seventeen years who had not been benefited by Mr. Harper.

Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds are home on furlough of eighteen months and, fol- lowing their visit here, Mr. Reyolds goes to Union Theological seminary at New York, for a year. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds have been at Fenchow Shansi, China, for six years, this being their first furlough during that time. Their work in China has been so organized that it may be carried on by the Chinese who were associated with them. The latter have been requested by the Chinese to re- turn, but no definite time has been set for their going back. John Ridgely Marshall Photo Dr. Harris F.

FAKE DRY AGENTSROB WINNETKANS OF JEWELS Bandit Trio Follows Baggaley Family From Chicago and Stages Holdup Here Posing as prohibition officers, three men who had followed Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Baggaley and Mrs. Baggaley's mother, Mrs. H. W. Jones, of 19 War- wick road, Winnetka, from the Black- stone hotel, Chicago, to their home, held them up at the point of revolv- ers and robbed them of $9,000 worth oi jewels, about $30 in cash and two ex- pensive new bags, Tuesday night. As the Baggaleys left their car upon their arrival at their home, they were approached by one of the trio whe announced that he was a prohibition officer and that he suspected there was liquor in the Baggaley car. The three men approached as if to institute a search. The guns were flashed, instead, and the jewels and money were quickly gathered in. The key to the Baggaley car was re- moved and one of the tires punctured with an instrument resembling an ice pick, following which the hold-up men ran to their car parked in front of the Baggaley home, and drove away. Arrest Two in Chicago The Winnetka police were notified and the news of the robbery was flashed over the tele-type to Evanston and Chicago. In a little more than an hour Chicago police reported the arrest of two men answering the de- scription of those in the hold-up trio, but when Mr. and Mrs. Baggaley ac- companied Chief Peterson to view the suspects they were not positive 1m their identification. The men are still being held, how- ever, pending further investigation as their past records are said to include crimes similar to the one committed in Winnetka. Mr. and Mrs. Baggaley and Mrs. Jones had dined at the Blackstone and. after attending the performance at the Blackstone theater, drove home. Mr. Baggaley said he had a premomi- tion that his car was being followed all the way out from the city. The car which trailed them was lost sight of after the Baggaley car turned off Sheridan road, and the first intimation that the Baggaleys had of its presence again, was when the men entered it after the hold-up. . The Baggaley car had been driven into the driveway and the other car was parked in the street. The men were young, appearing to be about 25 years of age, well dressed, and un- masked.
