boundaries have been promulgated by
the city superintendent, d. H. Christen-
sen, who, with the assistance OF his Of
flee force. has been making a Garrison
Finish in the few days left preliminary
TO the beginning Of another school
term.
The new boundaries, which are es-
sential 10 the school patrons, as well as
10 the teaching force. show a great
many important changes and while n
some instances it viii be found that
pupils do not attend the nearest school,
in general the boundaries operate for
the convenience OF all concerned.
In statement Introductory OF the
new boundaries, superintendent Chris

work in this building several years ago.

I'm view of the fact that from SIS TO

work in the seventh and eighth grades

principal Of the jefferson school, who
formerly organized the east-side High
school, VIII have general charge OF the
work.
