6. Means should be adopted to procure

In cities and towns the same plan of or.
ganizalion should be carried out, excep
that it should be done in wards and blocks

containing the plan Of organization and ad-

the voters in his district as directed in the
plan Reorganization, and direct to each
Wig in his district The circular containing
two tickets, leaving with him few blanks
to provide for Wings that he may have

trict before the election. 1t will be of the
utmost importance that each school district

explained. This can be much better and
more forcibiy done by personal interview,
than by written documents.
