Usinjr Houndary as an example - because that's where I happen ed to be, the children were quick ly assigned to their various rooms and had soon settled down to be come acquainted with their new teachers. True, the traffic situa- an*re crosswalks are beinjr paint-: ed at all crossings near school.-.. ! This is a jrreat improvement—and tlie changes in the traffic pattern should cause an improvement in the tempers of the mamas who pick up their youngsters at the vaiioUs schoids.
