F. Paulsen yesterday, Mr. Hayden
was informed that IN all probability
four weeks would be required from the
present time, In order 10 finish the
Audubon school. In the event OF this
school not being ready on Sept. 3. il
was for a time considered by the
board as 10 whether or not it would be
adviss bic 10 divide the pupils Of the
blum school between the Lincoln, Hor.
ace Mann and Eugene Field schools,
but owing 10 the fact that but little
could be accomplished in a weeks
time by taking the pupils away from
such schools, and a complete reorgan-
ization would have 70 be effected in
the new quarters. IT was decided TO
defer the opening one week.
