Too much over dressing on the part
of the girl pupils Of the grade schools
has caused the school board to do away
| with the usual grade graduation exer-
| cises this year. There will be nothing
doing except the presentation in each
school of a Certificate of attainment"
showing that the pupil is qualified to
pass from the grade school into the
| high school. Heretofore the public
exercises have been held for all the
grade graduates at Drake auditorium
or some other public place. These
public functions are becoming such
occasions for elaborate dressing that
| the board has decided to eliminate
| them in the future.
