 The dismissing of school childrcr
 rom the morning sessions has pre-.
 s'nted a problem both to the super.
 intendent of schools and the chief
 Of police and numerous consulta
 tions have been held between the two officials with view Of outlinine program whereby proper protec- ion may be afforded at all points where youngsters are obliged to cross the streets where traffic is heavy.
 At present the kindergarten classes are being dismissed at 11:15 each morning, tho first grade al 11:So and the other classes in the grammar schools shortly before l2. Motorcycle officers have been detail- cd to direct traffic in front of some of the central schools and a great element of danger has been eliminat- cd by their presence. The Forestville school is now being dismissed at l1:e5 instead of 11:SO q. m. each day, which enables children living in the southern section of that district 10 pass through the center before the traffic officer is relieved and be- tore the heavy noon traffic starts.
 Teachers have also directed their efforts toward instructing children on the proper method of crossing the streets and this action on their part has had a noticeably good effect.
 Councilman W. F. Hough brought the subject up recently at a joint meeting Of the city council and the board of education and was assured by Superintendent of Schools Reiche that the phase was being closely watched by all members of his de- partment.
