A School Break-in Back in 1917

From the November 1, 2017, MidWeek.  "Looking Back"

1917, 100 Years Ago.

"Miss Minnie Kreuger, who is teaching at the Carter school south of DeKalb, was somewhat surprised yesterday morning when going to the school for the day, to find that the little school had been entered and everything of value had been taken.

"The night prowlers helped themselves to books on the teacher's desk, books of the pupils and anything else that was handy or any value at all.  Miss Kreuger has no idea as to whom the marauders might be, but wish they would be kind enough to return the set of reference books which were taken from her desk.
