| Scholars to BE Transferred to Other
| Buildings.
Two more weeks Of school in the
| old Hawthorne school building and
| then the contractors will take posses
sion and the old land mark that has
done service. 10, these many years,
viii be taken down to give place to
a larger, safer and more modern
structure.
This giving up of the old building
March % will not cut short the school
| term, Supt. Young saws. Arrange
ments have been made to complete
the school year by placing the schools
| in other buildings and i'll some cases
putting two schools into one room
one to have it it in the morning and
the other in the afternoon. The
schools that are put on MALT time will
have a little longer sessions and per-
haps he excused from some of the
lighter studies. This will enable
them to carry on and complete all the
principal studies. and the promotions
will therefore occur ut fine regular
time, as though no change in rooms
had been made.
Those schools from the Hawth orne
building that will he placed on half time
after the spring term opens will run
on full time during the vacation, thus
shortening up TO five weeks the time
they will necessarily be on half day
sessions.
The following distribution of five of
the Hawthorne grades has been made,
the changes to take effect April 10:
Mr.. Daugherty will have the entire
Eighth grade in room No. > of the
High school building; Miss Entrikin
Will have her section of the Seventh
grade in room No. II of the Lincoln
school; Misses Henderson and Ander-
son will occupy rooms in the base
ment of the Lincoln building. All the
above schools will have full day Ses-
,ionS. closing, however, ut IL 30 in
the morning in order To give a >
hours intcrmission at noon that the
children may return without imcon-
ycuiencc 10y 80 p. IN. for the after
noon session.
The following schools will he To-
Gated a here indicated. the changes
to take effect March -: Misses Frick
and Hitler. during the two weeks
vacation, will hold their schools in
the Grant and Washington buildings,
Miss Prick in the former and Miss
Hitler in the latter, and both run all
day. After the vacation, however.
these schools will he held in one of
the rooms in the basement of the Lin
coin building, and on the halliday
system. Miss Prick having the morn
inc session and Miss Hitler the after
noon session. Misses Freeman, John
son and White will occupy rooms in
the Washington building, having their
schools in the afternoon, while
Misses Lucky and Pratt will
hold their schools in the Grant
building. These five schools will run
all day during the vacation and half
days during the spring term. All
schools continuing during the vaca-
ton will close two weeks earlier ut the
end of the year. Schools when on
halliday sessions will begin at the
regular time in the morning, and
close nj 1880 o'clock for the morning
sessions, and for the afternoon ses-
sions they will commence at the reg
ular time and close at 4:3O.
The above arrangement. while not
entirely free from inconvenience, will,
it i believed, give reasonably good
satisfaction to the patrons of the
schools. The plan gives the old
building to the contractors on the
2Sth of March, and makes it possible
for them to have the new building
completed for the opening of the
schools in September.
