A mass meeting was held in the city hall Friday night aud the question of providing more school room tor the fast increasing number of school children was discussed.

It seems to be the opiuion of quite a nnm her that a four room school building on some site east of the railroad tracks and north of East Jackson street would be i he proper thing to relieve the crowded conditions and do away with the neces­ sity of a large number of children Jt»» - tween the ages of six and twelve years crossing the railroad tracks, as they do now, at a time when there are many trains moving. It is estimated that by next fall the sections indicated will fur nish about 200 children between the ages mentioned. A petition recom­ mending such a proposition is being cir­ culated and will soon be placed before the board of education and the matter referred to the people for their decision Job work of all kinds neatly done at this office Try the "Want ad" column. 1 QUARTER OF A CENTURY.
