school districts were changed. That
of the Grant and Washington school
districts was changed from Twenty
second street to Twenty-ninth street
the original line The boundary be-
tween the Irving and Ericsson schools
was also changed from Seventh street
to Eighth street. Today the school
bell rang again. All of the schools
with the exception of the Grant school
opened their doors. Work on the heat
ing plant that is being installed at
the Grant school is not completed so
this makes it necessary TO suspend the
opening for few days, probably until
Thursday. The kindergarten of this
school will open as usual in the Olivet
chapel. il is hoped by Supt. Smith
that the parents who contemplate
sending their children to the kinder.
Garten VIII start them at the be
ginning of the term, for children who
are sent at the middle of the term are
greatly handicapped.
