NiLJ cuSluSeT.
1t will be seen that the difference
in the distances between the two
school buildings and the starting
points of the different routes Is very
little. This measurement has bee:l
made because it has become neces-
sary on account Of the crowded con-
dition Of the Sellers Avenue School
to more eQuitabiy divide the children
between the two schools. Some
children who are little nearer to the
Sellers Avenue School may have to
be transferred to the H. G. Sheridan
School In order to eQualize the chill
dren between the two schools. This
cannot be avoided. but as the above
measurements show, it will entail
no hardship on any Of the children
who may have to be transferred.
