Miss Bush, the inspector who visited
the schools last Thursday, made an in
vestigation of the average conditions
Of the childrensin the grades. This in
vestigation revealed the fact that
about 100 children, or 25 per cent, were
a year or more behind the grades in
which they should be according to age.
This condition is the result of the over
crowded and other, poor working condi-
tons Of the children in the 9TH ward
school. The figures tell of a great loss
of efficiency which means an enormous
waste of money and effort.
