The STRIKE OF JUNIORS

Because Superintendent Edwards
Of the public schools had the temerity
to suspend a member Of the Junior
class Of the high school, for gross dis
obedience and characterization and a
total ignoring of the rules Of discip-
line. the members of the junior class
went out on strike. One father to-
day sent word to The Forum that the
trouble was that there were not
enough birch rods in the school.
Some of the boys waited upon
George Z. Perley. secretary Of the
board Of education, but little comfort
did they set there. They We're told the
superintendent was running the
schools Of Morhead and hat the board
would support him in his discipline.
The suspended boy is an outsider and

board.
