the passage Of the bill. II is a fact. how
ever, that all the saloon men are in favor
of a reduction in the number of the board
members and that they wish the mayor to
be an ex-offcio member of the board also.
Change in Grade at schools
II is announced that the Board of Educa-
ton has decided TO terminate what is
known as the preparatory grade OF the
South Omaha High school. The grade is
between the eighth grade and the ninth.
Those pupils who finish the eighth grade
work at the end of the second semester
have been put in the preparatory grade
for the rest of the year, heretofore. The
pupils who finish the eighth grade in June
however, have been put directly into the
high school. Since the preparatory de-
partment is effective only in the second
semster of the year the board has de-
termined to discontinue the grade entirely
and have the pupils enter the high school
a once. This is said to be in accord with
the practice in other schools similar in
size. Heretofore about sixty pupils an
nuallv have been accommodated in these
grades. According to the orders of the
board, N. NJ. Graham announces that all
pupils finishing the eighth grade at the
close Of this semester should report TO him
at his office tomorrow. Saturday. for the
purpose of selecting their courses Of study.
