The Rock Island Board of Educa- tion has a full-time job on its hands. That job is to keep the school system of Rock Island up to the high stand- ard the board has established in pre- vious years. This job includes hiring new teachers, selecting textbooks, and maintaining buildings. The welfare of the students is the thing the members of the board con- sider Iirst in making decisions. Their work is made easier by the fine corps of teachers throughout the school system. This is the second year for the new plan of registration at Rocky High, a plan approved by the board. Un- der this plan, students register for the whole year in the fall. This saves time and confusion and does away with the loss of several days of school in the middle of the year. MR. EARL HANSON
