Tor the following reasons.
First-The Baltimore and Ohio
railroad tracks are too dangerous
for more than 100 children TO cross
-four times a day. on their way too
and from school.
Second The separation will not
in any way hinder the ultimate con
solioation for high school purposes.
Third The separation secures a
iiYe-teacher school in Richardson
Park and three-toacher school in
Elsmero. thus no school with all
grades for one teacher results from
tie separation
Fourth Eventually both districts
will be incorporated in the adjoining
city of Wilmington
The secretary Of the State Board was

we're undesirable and must be elimina :
