Kruger Paper and Paint Store - North Sixth Street Hotel Main Building Closing School Brings Protest from Patrons Patrons and Residents of Vicinity of Mercerville School Are Op. posing the Change. From Wednesday's Daily The action of the board of educa tion in making a change at least temnnrarv in the prnrlo efVinrtTa nf tne city ana wnicn changes includ ed the closing of the MercerviUe school on West Oak street, has brought a very strong protest from the residents of that locality who feel that they wish the school to be kept In operation rather than having the pupils transported to the Central building for their teaching and in struction. The board of education and school officials state that the measure was one of temporary expediency which would save the hiring of an extra teacher and as they state was a measure that was to save consider able money for the taxpayers of the district and at the same time would work toward giving a better result for the children. As it is stated the MercerviUe school, was the smallest In the point of attendance of any of the grade schools, having but thirteen pupils and as the school building was not modern in any way and could be best closed of any in the system it was decided to take this step. The board arranged for transportation of the pupils by car from the old school building to the Central building where a consolidation of a number of the lower grades have been arrang ed that would give a chance to handle a larger group of the youngsters in the lower grades by elimination one division of the sixth grade where the attendance is not as large as in the lower grades or the more ad vanced grades. One of the teachers in the junior high school. Miss Teresa Hemple, has been compelled owing to her health to take a leave of absence and a teacher from the grades has been given her courses of fctudy and the place in the lower grades been tilled by Miss Mary Eastwood who has been a teacher at MercerviUe. This has saved the cost of one teacher and with the saving on the cost of the operating of the MercerviUe school it is estimated will result in some $700 checked off. the cost of the schools. The members of the school board are of the opinion that the change will also be for the betterment of the pupils that are brought to the Central building as they will hava the advantages of the teaching where in the small grade school the teacher handling several grades has not the time to give the child con stant attention in their studies. The patrons of the MercerviUe school will be asked to meet with the board of education in order that some agreement and understanding can be reached that will satisfy the patrons of the closed school and also result in a saving to the school dis trict and give the children the very best of educational advantages.

Weather Delays the Cass County Ball Tournam't Owing to Bad Weather Last Sunday It Will Be Necessary to Extend Schedule. From Wednesday's Daily The weather man has sure prover a jinx on the baseball season of 1926, both the early portion of the season and the close having been decidedly damp and causing a great deal of delay to the teams in getting started. H The Cass Couny baseball tourna ment that was to have been staged between Plattsmouth, Manley and Greenwood has felt the effects of the wet weather in having their first game scheduled for last Sunday a Manley delayed. The rain of last week left a great deal of water on the Manley diamond and as the result the game there was called off Sunday and will place the tournament closing a week later than planned providing that the weather does not grow more unfavorable and make necessary a further adjustment of the schedule. It is planned that the schedule aj outlined be followed as far as pos sible and the games on next Sundu; will be staged at Greenwood, Platts mouth playing the opening battle at 1:30 and Manley the second game Greenwood taking on both the visit ing teams. On Sunday, October 3rd the Man ley and Greenwood teams will be here to play Plattsmouth and on the succeeding Sunday, October 10th the last game will be held at Manley, this being made necessary by the fact of the switch from last Sunday The fans have been looking for ward with interest to these series of games and hoping for good weath er for the remainder" of the season. Both Greenwood and Manley have had good fast teams this season and with Plattsmouth should make things interesting. The Greenwood team has slashed its way to the champion ship of the Cass county baseball league by a wide margin while the Manley team made a red hot finish in that loop to tie with Cedar Creek for second place in the league. Man- ley made a real showing as their team was shattered just after the season started by a number of the best players that they had leavin and which made it necessary the building up of a new team that re quired several weeks to get into full swing but which was going strong at the close of the season and pulled the team from fifth place to second place in the league. These teams with the Plattsmouth team ought to make a series of games that would be fast and well balanced with any of them having a chance for the first place. fr.MlMi..M..H-KKMi..:.
