McCrea will this evening attend a meeting of the Glen Carbon school board at which time it is expected an agreement will be reached whereby the division line between Glen Carbon and the Pleasant Ridge school districts will be changed.

Members of the Pleasant Ridge board of directors have already agreed that the change should be made and are willing to have It done as soon as possible. Members of the Glen Carbon board are known to be favorable to the project but the move has not had the formal sanction of the board. After both boards have agreed to the change the matter will be referred to the trustees of the schools of Collinsville township who will hold their annual meeting In April. The township board is the only, one which has the authority to make the change. The change la being sought for the convenience of nine families who reside lust outside Glen Carbon and in the Pleasant Ridge District.

Although the Glen Carbon school is in plain sight and only half a mile distant over a well kept road, the children of those families must tramp almost two miles over bad roads or through fields to the Pleasant Ridge school. The Glen Carbon school board has been willing, that these children attend the Glen Carbon schools but the feared the establishment of a precedent might later be tak- advantage of.
