Something of FURRY Over Mt. Wash

| Washington Casino was the scene of consider
able excitement on Friday afternoon, 10Th inst,
| at the meeting of the Parents Club ofthe pub
| lie school at that place, when various charges
were presented for action of the trustees, of
| which DIR. William J. Todd is the chief advi.
sorry, concerning the present management OF
| the school and the sanitary conditions which
| now exist.
The school is located in house on South
| avenue, and will remain there until the new
| 1913 600 addition is erected TO the old school
building. Miss Eleanor Thorpe, the principal,
was charged with having locked the entrance
| doors to the building during the larger portion
of lunch hour, compelling the children to re-
main out in the cold.
The ball was started rolling when it was
| learned that one of the pupils had become so
cold and exhausted that she had to seek shelter
| in drug store. Protests were at once sent in
| and Fridays meeting was the result.
| Mr. ]. Charles Kemper, well known resi-
| dent of Pimlico, figured prominently in the
meeting and made stirring address, as did M1
| Mrs. William E. Paul, ST., Mrs. John w:
Mealy and others. A motion was made and
| seconded to have DR.. Todd resign from the
| board of trustees, but further action was not
taken, as several protests followed.
| 1t was said that the sanitary conditions OF
| the school are not what they should be.
Miss Thorpe, the principal, who succeeded
| Mrs. Laura P Todd, said that by a unanimous
| movement of the parents the children are al
lowed an hour and a-half for lunch time and
| that in good weather they are compelled to re-
main outdoors for exercise or else go home for
| their lunch portion OF the time.
1t is likely that other charges will be pro-
duced. The case will most likely be taken to
the School Board at its next meeting.
