And still the Fourth Ward School
House problem is still unsolved. 1t
was thought that at the meeting of
| the Board OF Education last week, that
that body would possibly settle the
matter but after debating the subject
from various points, District Clerk
Harry S. Peters, who by the way was
evidently disguised with juggling the
question, moved "that the Board do
nothing more" in the matter of erect
ing an additional school building.
The motion seemed to concur with
Commissioner Lynd's view of the
matter as that gentleman quickly
seconded the motion, saying that he
did not believe the people would stand
by any proposition the Board might
offer. AS far as the present School
Commissioners are concerned, they
are out of it, and the next new Board
will have the pleasure of wrestling
with a problem that has made life a
burden to the members of the present
board.
