SCHOOL NOTES.
Owing to the crowed condition of
somo of the rooms in the Central build
ing tho Superintendent wns compelled
to find some moans of relief. Wednes
day morning this took the form of n
rearrangement of grades nnd classes
in such a manner that no toucher will
have more than n reasonable number
of pupils. The fifth grnde was strugg
ling along with 03 pupils. This condition
wus not best and so about 20 of these
were transferred to one of the Sixth
grade rooms. This necessitated trans
ferring some of these pupils nnd others
until tho rooms were easily ublu to
accommodate the number assigned to
each.
