(Jewish Daily Balletin)
Louis J. Block, former principal of the John Marshall High School, nationally known Jewish educator, was seriously injured when struck by an automobile in Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago, Mr. Block’s skull was fractured and he suffered serious internal injuries. Because of his advanced age little hope is held out for his recovery.
Mr. Block, who is 74, until two years ago had been at the school since it was opened in 1895. Besides his educational activities he is a poet and musician of note.
