Eighth Grade North SGhool
Students Present Peti
tions for Shirley's Rein
statement as Instructor.
The striking school children of the
North school returned to their studies
after two days' walkout Wednesday
morning, and ulthough the scholars are
much dissatisfied over the loss of their
teacher. Professor Shirlev, thev are
hopeful that the school board will pay
heed to their petitions, which were col
lected and presented to the board. The
petitions requested the reinstatement of
Professor Shirley and were signed by
three hundred citizens of the city.
The committee from the erstwhile
strikers presented the following peti
tion and requested its publication:
"In reply to the statement made by
the school board that we found out our
regard for Professor Shirley too late,
we state:
"We, the eighth grade pupils, did not
iind out when it was too late that we
loved and respected Mr. Shirlev, and the
board knew it. because they had
our
petitions signed by every member of j
the eighth trade, and also most of the
teachers, before them at the time, but
simply ignored them and based their
conviction upon tho verdict of three
or four of the unrnly pupils and their
parents.
"Had the board got the opinions of
the other pupils and teachers their ver
dict would have undoubtedly been dif
ferent. Respect f ally,
"EMiHTH GRADE PUPILS."

h reduction in wages and that, a revis
ion of the workng agreement must be
i.iade by March 1. The unions are de

will take the matter into the courts

hours of labor. It is understood that

and instructs the commission to secure
all possible information in advance, so
that responsibility may be placed and
the commission hold itself n readiness
to meilate.
