TAKE OVER 160 TEACHERS
Superintendent Graff of the pub
lic schools has returned from an out
ing; at Spirit lake and li beginning,
to think of the Greater Omaha situa
tion. Members of the Board of Edu
cation are likewise cognisant that
their responsibilities are being In
creased. Work of taking over the school
property of South Omaha and Dun
dee ia now In progress. Matters of
future policy will be worked out dur
ing the next sixty days.
It Is estimated there will be nearly
17.000 children In the Greater Omaha
I echool system when the bell rings for the
j reopening of school on September A.
j There wss an enrollment of Z2.OT) In
I Omaha last school yesr.
Need New Test Books.
One of the situations ts ba worked out
Is to reconcile the text hooks In use In
the rVruth Side with the course of study
of Omahs. To equip the South Side
schools with new books In September
would coat sbout tla.ono. The school board
will In all probability approve the plan
of allowing tha South Side teachera to
apply tha Omaha course of study to tha
book now tn use and as tha old books
wear out order new stocks to correspond
with ths system which hss been In use
here It Is ststed this will not ba a
serious situation.
One hundred and alxty South Side
teachers will be brought Into tha Greater
Omaha aysteni and will work under the
Omaha schedule of sslsry.
Local Bankers Not
Likely to Get the
Omaha Park Bonds
City Commissioner Butler asserts that
tha demand of seven Omaha banks for
an expert opinion on the Auditorium and
psrk bonds may result tn . tha city re
considering selling these bonds to the
local bank.
Mr. Butler explained In thla manner:
"Such an opinion would coat about $1,000
and would result In selling the bonds be
low par, Including that Item of expense.
These local bankers are familiar with the
history of the bonds and, I maintain,
should accept our transcript aa effi
cient." Tha bonds hsve been registered at tin
coin and are ready for delivery. It Is
likely they will be offered for sale to
other parties and that tha negotiation
between tha city commissioners and tha
locsl bankers will cease.
