Coach Lancer of Football Team is Dis.
charged from This Duty-New Ath-
letic Committee Will Be Appointed
Board to Seek Arrest of speeders.

The Board of Education is consider
ing the purchase of a new school site
and the discussion of the site was one
of the most interesting matters to come
before the board at the regular October
meeting on Tueday evening. The pro-
posed site is located in the new Lawn.
dale subdivision and the site is corner
224 by over 400 feet. 1t is located
just across the street from the lots on
which the portable buildings have been
erected this year and it is thought tc
be in center which will in the very
near future demand new school. tbs
cost of the site will be in the neigh
borhood of $1,000. Members of the
board will brave the rain this after.
noon and 60 out and look over che site
and its surroundings and it is probable
that the deal will be closed up within
a few days if the site meets with the
approval of the board. There is no
plan for the erection of building on
the site at the present time, but the
members of the board are securing the
site at a favorable price with a view
of holding it until the development of
this section of the city demands the
erection of large building.
The board took steps to clean up a
Ffnasty" condition which has come
into the athletic program at the high
school and which has threatened the
entire athletic program of the school
for the year. The board by formal
action dismissed Coacl, Lancer, al
though he will remain as teacher in
the school. The action was due to
what is called a fragrant violation of
the regulations of the Interscholastic
Athletic Association on last Saturday
when men not regularly eligible to play
on the football team, were put in for
the game against Waukesha.
It was declared to the board that
Coach Lancer was entirely aware of
what was being done. One of the men
was withdrawn from the game on the
order of Principal George N. Tremper.
AS result of the bad mixup, the
school board has ordered the re-
organization of the athletic commits
sion. It will be made up of the prin-
cipal of the high school, the principals
of the two Junior High schools, mem
Der Of the Board Of Education, mem
Der of the alumni of the High school,
and the superintendent of schools. The
manager of the football teams is also
made member of the commission. Jaw
B. Glerum is to be continued as the
school board member of the commits
sion and Fred Morse is named as the
alumni member to succeed Harry Wal
lis. It is probable that the athletic
schedules of the High school will be
seriously interferred with pending the
reorganization of the commission.
elm Vaterland' got a formal black
eye from the board, as by unanimous
vote the action of Superintendent
Bradford in withdrawing the book
from the schools on account of it's
stand on Prussianism was endorsed.
The pupils who have purchased these
books will be reimbursed by the
Board of Education.
Mrs. Florence Barr Nelson was nam
ed as teacher of English in the High
school to take the place of Miss Fife
Kinney, who has been forced to take
a leave of absence for the semester
on account of illness.
The members of the board appealed
to the police for the enforcement of
laws against the speeding of automo-
biles in the neighborhood of school
houses and the department has asked
to place a plain clothes man at every
school building with a view Of secur-
ing the numbers and arresting drivers
of automobiles who fail to observe the
law. Tt is expected that this plan will
result in many arrests and bring to
an end the prevalent speeding in the
neighborhood of school buildings.
