A number of citizens interested in the
4 Park school met the committee In ac-
cordance with a notice that appeared in
the REPORTER, last week, to see what
action should be taken by reason of the
reduction of pupils in that school build
ing which comes about by the establish
ment of the parochial school. There are
SCHOOLS 10 the building now but about 80
pupils IN attendance. The parents pres
ent at the meeting objected to hav-
ing their children take the long walk
to Leavtt street on the North side,
which the closing of Park school build
ing would necessitate. The committee
have not yet determined what will be
done but it is probable that the schools
10 that building will be consolidated.
