boys at the George Washington school
will be dismissed for the afternoon at 3,
instead of O'Clock. while the coiored
boys school will not be dismissed until

which begins at noon by the white boys
will hereafter be but one hour. They will
be dismissed at noon and return at
clock. The colored boys will leave their
school at y 80 o'clock, returning at 80.
