II. r. Collins Wants Directors to
Make It Optional With Residents
as to School They Send
Children.
WATT FOR FULL BOARD
This Matter Will be Taken up With
Superintendent AIdrich and Di-
rectors-Routine Bust
ness Transacted.

The school board was asked last
night to change the ruling made a
couple of meetings ago that children
must attend school in the districts in
which they live, and to make it OPP
tional with residents in the portion Of
the city beyond Rand park which
school they send their children to-.
The request, which was presented by
Harrie r. Collins in behalf of his own
children and residents in that neigh
borhood, was not acted on by the
board last night as full board was
not present and the members wanted
the advice Of Superintendent Aldrich
in the matter. 1t will be taken up at
special meeting to be held as soon
as the superintendent returns.
Mr.. Collins said that actual meas
urements Of the distance from his
house to the Terrence and Garfield
schools showed less than two-tenths
OF mile difference in favor Of the
florence school. He spoke of the
fact that the children must go through
the lower park, and that this part Of
the mark bore a rather bad reputation
and that it had been necessary to po-
lice it. 1t would be possible To use
street cars in bad weather to the
Gar0elQ SCAOOAs AHhNAhs5 NAthAA a
block of the building. To get to the
Terrence school meant to cover con-
siderable distance where there were
no sidewalks.
The speaker asked the board to
make it optional with residents in
this vicinity as to which school they
sent their children. The board men,
hers thought that the superintendent
should be consulted in this and de-
ferred action until his arrival.
Routine Matters.
Bills for dipping the school desks
we're presented and will be checked up
today.
An application for IS raise in
salary was received from F. A. Lind
strand, ianitor OF the manual training
building. AS the janitors contracts

this matter was laid over to the next
meeting.
The committee to look into the
Community band complaint, asked for
more time wishing to wait until Pro-
lessor Hayden can be consulted.
The insurance committee will di
rect an inventory Of the school prop
erty be taken and kept in the records.
New insurance forms are being made,
It was reported.
Bills were allowed and the meeting
adjourned to meet in special session
after Superintendent Aldrich arrives.
This meeting will be held before

one of the cartridges was very light.

of powder, but having no more shot l
had put them aside. In some way
they had been mixed in with the 9TH
