The mass meeting of taXpayinS citi.
zens assembled at the school board
rooms to demonstrate against any
change of grade in the High school
grounds and for the retention of the
High school building has had one good
effect at least. 1t has drawn public at
tention to the dangerous character of
the building in which the lives of 1900
Omaha boys and girls are exposed for
nearly ten months of the year. And
while the remonstrants have declared
themselves unalterably opposed to the
removal of this landmark, the great
mass of our citizens, and especially
patrons of the public schools, will in
sist from now on that the landmark on
the top of the hill must share the fate
of all other old landmarks that have
gone before.

The Quay leaders during the last few
