city schools.
Ernest Hussey, clerk of school dis
trict No. 43 In which there has been
the most confusion, has sent an an
nouncement to the parents in which he
gives a description of the territory in
which pupils who have attended the
country school are entitled to attend

affected in the announcement which
follows:
