PLAN
GIVEN RAP

Determination to have no "un-
der-age kindergartenS" in the pub
lie schools was reflected when
the District appropriation bill
was reported to the House today.
During the hearings Represen-
tative Simmons, subcommittee
chairman, said that while it was
understood a year ago that the
underage kindergarten in the
Webster school would be abol-
ished this had not been done.
Consequently, the committee
wrote into the bill a legislative
rider saying:
"NO part of the foregoing ap-
preparations for public schools
shall be used for instructing
children under five years Of age
except children entering during
the second half of the school
year who will be five years of
age by March Is, 1882"
Another legislative rider in the
school appropriations of the bill
prescribed that when the Roose-
velt (BuSineSs) High School is
completed, and 100000 is al
lowed for continuing construction
THE building now occupied by
the Business High School shall be
utilized for senior high and
elementary school purposes"
