Morgan Park. the beautiful suburb

rapidly forging to the front. Its popu-

comes necessary for The Board Of
Education to set aside a million dol

which work IS to begin in June The
large percentage of this increase in
population in recent years from rs
families to more than 5000 persons.
This has been brought about greatly
