MOTHERS CLUB IS
SCORED BY BOARD
Attack on Sanitary Condition oi
High School Called Igno-
rant and Sensational

BERKELEY, Oct. 27.-In a spirited
answer to the criticisms of the Berke-
ley high schools heating and sanitary
appliances. which the high school
mothers club presented two weeks ago,
the Berkeley board of education last
night adopted resolutions condemning
the report as ignorant and sensational,
and justified its stand by the opinions
of experts who declared the high
school to be in good condition.
A storm has been brewing over the
affair for some time. committee ap-
pointed by the mothers club having
meeting to the board of education,
which felt than an injustice had been
done. The women stated that the
heating system, garbage cans and other
sanitary conveniences in the school
were not properly attended to and kept
in repair.
After a full investigation the board
last night passed a resolution declaring
that no cause existed for sensational
criticism, and asked inspection of the
school by any parent interested in the
matter. The report of committee of
the board was adopted as follows:
Your committee begs to state that
after a searching investigation 1t has
found no cause for any such sensational
criticisms of the sanitary conditions
of the high school as has received the
Endorsement of the mothers club of
the school. We feel confident that had
the members of the club fully under
stood conditions this report of the
clubs committee would have never been
indorsed.
1--WE further recommend that mas
much as sensational and misleading
statements have been given to the press
relative to the sanitary conditions of
the school, that the board give to the
press the full report Of the clubs COM
mittee on sanitation together with this
report made by your committee"
Mrs Sarah James and Mrs. F. P. Pray
composed the committee of the mothers
club which made the report that
caused the reply of the school board.

enter the University, a Normal
school, or a college can get the
work needed to gain admission with
out examination. 1t pays to enter
a school of this rank, if one never
intends to 60 farther in school
work. The fact that the work done
in the Monroe City High School
will be accepted by the best schools
of the state means something.
Those who desire to take a High
School course with no intention of
entering an institution of higher
rank can find no better place for
Getting this work than in the Mon
roe City High School. Do not take
any body's word. Investigate.
Those who desire to take work in
commercial subjects, or who de-
sires to take a course in agricul-
ture, or who desire to take a COM
bination of the two can get what
they want at the Monroe City High
School.
Think of this. 1t would take a
student six years and a half year
more to take all the work offered in
the Monroe City High School.
Read what the course comprises.
English, 4 years; Latin, 4 years;
Mathematics, a years; Science, 4
