THE CASE WILL he APPEALED

Consolidated schools In Kentucky
received a blow in the McCracken
circuit court this morning when
Judge william Reed overruled the
injunction to dissolve the consoli'
dated school at Lone Oak. but made
permanent the injunction against
having the school children conveyed
to and from school IN wagons.
Arguments began In the proceed
ings at 2 O'Clock this morning. Attor-
ney Thomas Crice. representing the
citizens. outlining the situation lie
was followed by Attorney ID. H..
Hughes. for the schools. and then
Mr.. Crice spoke again. After he con-
cluded County School superintendent
S. !. Ellington spoke for a short
time and Attorney w. r. Bradshaw
for the petitioners. closed the argu-
ments. Judge Reed then announced
his decision.
The consolidated school at Lone
Oak. comprising the school pOpula-
ton OF Lone Oak. Arcadia and Lang
districts, remains. but the county
schools are restrained from supplying
vehicles for the transportation OF the
children and tho children will have
TO go to the school by the best means
available or walk. Some reside sew
eral miles from the school.
The school will be opened up Mon
day morning as usual, but II Is ex-
pected that the attendance win be
on the decrease. BY the decision the
school board OF the county Is gifted
with the power OF consolidation, but
Judge Reed held that the terms con
solidated DO not imply the provision
for vehicles to transport them. There
Il nothing in the laws which entities
the schools TO use the taxpayers
money for this purpose.
The decision practically makes i'm
possible the consolidation OF rural
schools in Kentucky II the court Of
appeals sustalns Judge Reed. other
states have adopted the method OF
consolidation by hauling pupils TO
and from school. The purpose OF
consolidai on Is TO make longer terms
and afford better teachers by clint
mating the waste OF scattered schools
The board considered that when the
consolidated school law was adopted
II was invested with authority 20 do
everything necessary 10 make the
consolidation practicable. The case
will be appealed.
