We do have tem porary buildings located at Mat- tainuskeet school housing the fourth and fifth grades, but whites and iiegraes alike are as signed there. We do have two relocatable buildings on oTxler, but have received neither yet.” The strike of schools, in its second week, saw limited at- .endance at both Davis and Peay -.chools, whore less than forty wore reported in attendance.
