an imposition, and it occasions the inquiry, II
Skinner School is 70 be recognized and hereafter
known a. branch Of the Ch!cagu High School! II
change must be made for the benefit OF those
children scattered broadcast throughout the s'ty'
vhy not send them 10 the corner Ut Lake apd Elix-
abetb streets; why deprive Others Of their adysn-

gcrins their lives when these older ones who real

lon revoke the order WEST stDE- .
