Bad Boys Have 'New Scheme
to Have School Dismissed
Superintendent E. TJ. Graff and princi
pals of schools have decided to dismiss
the youngsters from further study when
the thermometer climbs to ninety In the
exposed rooms.
Fifteen schools ' have, been dismissed
this week and the teachers have assured
the superintendent that the thermometer
hung In a shady place in a cool corner
of the room. .
Several teachers are wondering what
happens to a thermometer when It Jumps
to the dismissal degree in weather that,
if not actually cold, is at least a little
chilly.
"Bad boys" Is one concusion thay have
reached. This has resulted in all young
sters under suspicion belnif transferred
from seats near the window, to tho center
of the room. f , -t '.
"They ljght matches and holgl t them
under the thermometer, when I rt , not
loaking," one teacher fe!loves, .."and oho
boy had a noiseless cigar lighter that
would put the mercury up to W) la a
second, i.' . , ... . .
' "As soon as the thermometer , ren
ters' W the boys are. in danger of haat
prostration. , They perspire .in a marvel
ous manner and look repeatedly at the
thermometer."
In the new buildings, built 'o plans
that provide the most ventlKtlon a:id
the greatest amount of sunlWnt and air
possible, teachers have not yet dismissed
school on account of heat. .
Officers Object to
Amateur Chauffeurs
Indignant because they are forced to
put- up with incompetent' amateur
chauffeurs on hurry calls, thereby en
dangering their lives, officers at police
headquarters may bring the matter to
the. attention of the city commission
through the off tee of the chief.
Recently the police garage was made
Into, a repair 'shop for all department
cars, as well as a headquarters for the
police machines! As a result, auto stu
dents are attracted to the place to gain
experience and the ': regular chauffeurs,
are ordered by the foreman to, work on
car' repairs while the students take
their places at the steering wheels of the
police cars. - - .
The officers who are forced to .'ride
behind the student chauffeurs' are. fear
ful of their lives and they say that they
are not only in danger, hut pedestrians
also may be hurt. ,

the Diamond Ice company, was fined $1
and costs in police court for refusing to
sell ice to L. E. Ballad,' 2611 Bristol street,,
