but in this particular hill town
the excitement of the row over
the negro school children mas
kept folks warm enough. The
superintendent of schools and
the school committee are deter

off in school by themselves, and
the blacks are determine1 not to
stay out.

board of education, has said that
the negro children must go
to one school and keep away
from another, where the white
