SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
Where the Children Should
Be Sent.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PARENTS
A List Of the Schools and the Bound
aries of the Educational
Precincts.

The following instructions for parents
and children have been issued from the
School Superintendent's office:
Only such changes have been made in
the school districts or the city as were
necessary on account of the formation of
one new district, that Of the Brooklyn
street school.
Parents should be particular to send
their children to the schools designated
by the plan below. After the children
come together and are all enrolled and
the necessary report made as to num-
bers, then all needful correction will be
made.
It will be useless to ask for transfers
from one district to another during the
first week, as such could not be granted,
in Justice to all parties concerned, as
children of the given district must be ac-
commodated first.
1t is hoped that all the patrons of the
schools will preserve copy OF this an
nouncement, and careful 3 observe all its
provisions.
In case of doubt, the districts may
easily be traced out on any map OF the
city. The middle of the street is always
considered the dividing line, when the
name Of the street is mentioned.
In districts having buildings of four
rooms or less, pupils of all grades cannot
well be accommodated. The older and
larger pupils take the room needed for
the far more numerous little ones.
1t is, therefore, much better that the
older and more advanced pupils should
attend the larger schools where there is
more room for them. AS the larger
buildings are centrally located, it is
thought that no great hardship can be
caused.
The following describes the various
districts:

of the city have been numbered, begin
