the purchase of the American hsgs for

ones. as the pond is about six feet deep
Most of the children have been notified 10
stay on the opposite side of the board walk,
ard keep away from the pond, but the
more they arc told about it the more they
want TO play in it, and az it is utterly i'm
possible for the teacher to watch them, 1t
certainly should be the city's duty either
to fill it up or put some one there to keep
thu children away.
