Last year some complaint was made that the children gathered at the | vacation schools considerably ahead of | the hour set for the sessions, and con- fusion and annoyance was created in the neighborhood in consequence. There was no direct supervision then, save that by women. on the committee, but this year Miss Scranton, supervisor of kindergartens, will have charge with teachers as her assistants, and Superintendent Beede is confident that there will be no renewal of com plaints The plans this year call for school sessions from 9 until 12 o'clock. if they come, will result in the transfer of the school to the old stand at Wooster street. The board en- dorsed this plan.
 Contractors will be ready to go to work on the proposed Boardman school addition by June 10-15.
