Recreation Board Must Pay Bills Continued From Taga One
The board voted to delay opening of schools until January. Acting Superintendent Cortright reported 2.18 percent of pupils were absent last Friday and urged efforts to reach these children. Truant officers acted on their own initiative, and local manufacturers were urged to report families moving into the city. Cortright noted some youths teach in serials and suggested raising salaries to attract men to teaching in the gravenar schools. Parents asked that Sheridan school children moved back from Wayne to Sheridan due to long walks in winter. A committee was asked to consider this. New stockings should be worn only after they are new to extend life.
