The committee Ali-om the Central Lav

superintendent of schools, Ira. '1‘
Chapman, and there does not appear
to be any cause for uneasiness on
the part of Labor Unions for any 01'
the school activities. 0n the com
trury there does appear to be many
points on which the unions and the
school authorities agree, and in the
near future it is hoped that there
will be considerable cooperative ef-
foxt on the part of the labor unions of
the town to further certain school con-
ditions in the _towu. Among those
mentioned were municipal play
grounds. and better school facilities,
such as better and more schools and
a gymnasium for the present High
School, and a Junior High School
and as for the work proposed for the
manual training in the. schools the

The policy of the commissioners in
this matter has come in for consider
able expressions of disfavor by citi-
zens of that district. Many think that
the corporation counsel should be so
slanted, others feel that a suit will on-
tail additional and unneccessary ex-

commissioners will receive and ed-

not only by laymen, but by wel inform-

One attorney. who requested that his

reasons upon which he based his judg«

pointed out that the charter provides?
