 Pupils Being Transferred.
 Because of the city's share in pay ii4e for the Camp school addition new school district in the city will Lave to be created, Judge Gaffney ex- rlained, and following a general dis c1ssion the boundaries were mapped cut and rules made making it cOm- puisory for children attending grades between the kindergarten and Grade i and residing in the Camp school district to attend the Camp school. Action was likewise taken providing, that children who live outside of this district but who have been attending this school must hereafter go to the school in their own district. This will compel about 94 children to leave the Camp school. It will also mean that SC pupils will come from the Rockwell school to the Camp school and 20 will come from the Monroe school, while the Burrltt school will send one. Those having 10 leave the school will be assigned as follows: Seven to the East, 29 to the Lincoln, 36 to the Rockwell, 10 to the Monroe, to the Bartlett, 7 to the Stanley. 2 to the Burritt and one each to the Northend and Smith In speaking of these trans ters Supt Holmes said it should not be made necessary to continue to hira
