this may be OF sufficient interest to them

vice OF the Independent company En-
closed with the telephone companys letter
is one from George w. Westerdahl. presi-
dent OF the Board of Education. who says:
THE phones taken out are being replaced
ny the phones of the Independent TeIe-
prone company, and therefore the public
schools and those connected Herewith can
only be reached by the Independent tele-
phones"
The teachers do not take kindly to this
plan of the Board OF Education to boost
the independent Telephone company. A
large majority of the teachers and patrons
of the schools have the Bell telephones in
their houses ana the action of the Board
OF Education now places them in a. position
where they cannot communicate with the

unless they install the Independent com
pany's phones In their homes.
