Much Agitation Among Resi-
dents of Grant School District.
One Glass Has Been Moved to
Quincy School.

mere Is COISluGIdOlc dSlbdtiDAl
among the residents of the Grant
school district, owing to the IA grade
being moved to Quincy school This
change was made to make room for the
first grade class which formerly had oc-
cupied the basement. This year it was
impossible to use the basement for a
classroom, owing to it's unsanitary con-
dition.
This morning a number of residents
called on Principal Morrow with a pro-
test against the change. They were re-
ferred to the superintendent of public
schools as Mr.. Morrow says that the
question is above his authority.
According to the principal and
teachers of the school there is a great
deal of sentiment attached to the pro-
test The children want to go to Grant
school and the parents naturally side
with them. Along with this a number
of the parents argue that the distance
which the children will have TO walk
this winter will serve to keep them
from attending school on stormy days,
but if the class was held at Grant
school they would have only few
blocks to walk.
A meeting is to be held in a few days
by the parents of the children and they
expect to take definite steps to have
the class moved back to Grant Ac-
cording to Principal Morrow it will be
impossible to bring the class back I'M
less the basement is used for class
room.
