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.

Seed Corn.
As there is some danger of corn
not maturing until after frost, you
should gather your seed corn now,
before Sept 30. Most every field has
plenty of corn that could be gather
ed and saved for seed, if put some
where to dry, and protected from the
first frost. If this is done, there
need be no shortage of seed corn.
