LOWELL SCHOOL
PARENTS To CALL
ON, MAYOR DEVER
Will Go in a Body to City
Hall

Over 100 parents Of the Lowell
School will go in body to the City
Hall to protest to Mayor Dever against
the Chicago Board of Education trans
fer system. Among their demands will
be the immediate withdrawal of the
newly installed platoon system from
the Lowell School and the replace
ment of the children who have been
crowded out. The parents will offer
to temporarily accept the double shift
providing that immediate work is
started on the building of a school
annex.
This was the decision reached at a
meeting of the Northwest Parents
League at 1884 N. Kedzie Ave-, called
to consider the problems facing them
at present.
Speakers addressed the meeting
stressing the dangers of the platoon
system which was shown to be no.
thing less than the rspeed-up methods
Of the factory brought into the school.

and teachers councils busting super
intendent Of schools, William Mean
drew was quoted as describing the
platoon system and the junior high as
a means for training the children to
become efficient wage slaves. His
chief argument for the system is that
it will be helpful to employers.
The need for Strong organization
Of the parents was also stressed and
the parents were warned by a repres.
entative Of the Rogers Park Parents
League not to base any hopes on the
board of education promises as "You
can expect nothing but double-cross-
ing from the Chicago board OF educa-
ton" he said.

Broken Up

PICKING, March 10. Seventeen
students were killed and many
wounded today when crowd Of 5000
students attempted to rush the Of
fees of the chief executive during a
demonstration against the govern
ment's acceptance Of the ultlmatum
presented by the foreign powers.
Soldiers shot into the crowd and
used their bayonets. Many were
trampIed to death in the mad rush to
escape after the firing started.
The ultimarum, presented early this
week by the representatives of foreign
powers, gave the government until
noon today to cease all hostilities at
Tientsin and remove mines and other
distractions to navigation between
Tientsin and Taku, distance of
thirty-eight miles. The communica-
ton of the foreign office submitting
to the ultimatum agrees that the de-
mands of the powers for freedom of
navigation are fair, but points out
that the threat of the powers for
united naval action was against the
protocol.
The fact that the American mission
aries are split in their attitude to-
wards the nationalist movement is ev-
ident in the controversy which has
arisen over the action of certain Chris
tan institutions in presenting to John
A. MacMurray, the American minister
here, a protest against the United
States participating in any naval ac-
tion to enforce the reopening of the
Pei-ho river to commerce, as pro-
vided for in the Boxer protocol. A
delegation of ten called on MacMur-
ray and protested strong against the
ultimatum to. the Chinese government.
