Pride of Communities Shown in Rock Island School Certificates
For the first time since inspection of country schools began, certificates were issued to Rock Island county schools meeting requirements. Ridgeview in South Moline and Hazel Welloy furnish examples as certificates arrive. The county superintendent notes year built, rooms, hallway, heating, cleanliness, interior decoration, furniture, library of 75 volumes, and care of books. Grounds must include a shrubbery, shade trees, play space, water supply, and well kept surroundings.
