A resolution presenting this request to the school board was adopted by the association last night when the closing of one of the two portables because of an insufficient number of pupils in at- tendance, was announced. The Board of Education’s census figures showing that 225 children lived in that terri- tory were read at the meeting and it ‘was explained that the school authori- ties had d:wmlud that a permanent school building would be erected only ‘when the actual need for such a build- ing could be shown. A strong dislike of portable schools and a resulting re- fusal to send their children to them, it ‘was said, resulted in the scattering of the community’s children to other schools. In the closing of one of the two portables Monday, six children were transferred to the Takoma School, & mile from the portable unit, and 15 others were placed in the one remain- ing portable, which showed an enroll- ment of 11 puplls, Eleven children, school authorities felt, was too small & number to warrant the maintenance of a portable and a teacher who was badly needed in other localities, hence the 26 children of three grades were grouped under the one remaining teacher.

CHICAGO, February 12.—To the long list of solutions for Chicago's money ills is added another, to be hereinafter known as the Myers plan. Broached by Lewis E. Myers, a financier and school trustee, the new- est plan finally has cracked the ani- mosity between Mayor William Hale Thompson and the citizens' relief com- mittee and as a consequence a con- ference arranged for either today or tomorrow to discuss tax warrant loans held more hope for the city's payless employes than any other development in the past week. Serving as a mediator, Myers car- ried word to Silas H. Strawn, head of the relief committee, that Mayor ‘Thompson was willing to enter nego- tiations with the Strawn group.
