and field meet of the graded schools of

of May the lads OF these schools will
compete in track and field events Tor
the sixth time for the Times-Republi-
can trophy cup and the graded school
championship Of the city.
The date has not yet been fixed and
probably will not be until some time
early in May. but It is the idea OF
Superintendent Palmer that the meet
should be held two. or perhaps three
weeks, before the schools close.
1t is probable that the period de-
voted to preparations for the event
will be shorter than 1t has been
previously The intention is to allow
the excitement incidental to this ath-
1etic event interfere with the school
work no more than is absolutely neces-
sary.
Because Il some slight trouble that
was the outgrowth of the meet last
year there was chance that the meets
might be discontinued. but Mr.. Palmer
said this morning that the ward prin-
cipals were all in favor OF 1t, and that
whatever objections there were had
been overcome.
After comforting with the principals,
for the purpose Of arranging the details,
the date will be fixed, and Mr.. Guyer
will be placed in charge of the train
Ing of the boys and the preliminary
ward meets to pick the teams.
