MINUTES or THE BOARD or PUB
Lie INSTRUCTION

Ocala, Florida April 9th, 1920
The Board of Public instruction in
| and for Marion County, Florida, met
this 9Th da, ofAApril 1920 in regular.
session with w. L. Colbert. chairman
g. r. Veal and A. J. Stephens present.
The minutes of the last meeting
We're read and approved. Mr.. C. r.
Veal reported that he had visited the
Pine Grove colored school with a
view of determining just what is
needed in the way of new building,
and reported that the old building is
in the act of falling and not ina con-
ditiOn to be used for another term.
Mr. Veal recommended that the old
building be torn down entirely, and
as the lumber is all sound and good,
that it be used in rebuilding the
house. The board decided that it
would furnish material for the new
building if the patrons will get up
sufficient money to pay for the labor.
Mr.. Veal was authorized to have the
old house torn down and to arrange
for its construction.
Upon request of the trustees of the
Linadale school, it was granted that
the school be allowed to continue one
extra month, the expense to be paid
out of the district funds.
A communication from Mr.. J. H.
Brinson stated that they could con-
tinue the Jeans teacher one month
longer during May if the board
would continue it's part of the pay.
The board decided as most of the col
ored schools would be out before May
that it thought best to discontinue the
work at the expiration of the present
contract
The board ordered that the school
warrants numbers B969, B3276,
B4335 and B6534 be cancelled, these
warrants being outstanding for five
or six years and apparently lost.
Upon the recommendation of the
supervisor and patrons of the Ebene-
ger school, it was ordered that the
school run for only three months.
G. r. Veal was authorized to in
vestigate the needs of the Jerusalem
colored school in regard to repairs
or new building.
The board adjourned to meet on
Wednesday morning at $50 o'clock.
On Wednesday the board met per
adjournment with all members pres
ent
The trustees of the Ocala school ap.
peared before the board and discuss
ed the early employment of teachers
and fixing adequate salaries to keep
our best teachers and employ compe-
tent teachers for vacancies. The
board realizing that it is necessary 10
pay teachers better salaries in order
TO meet the high cost of everything,
and that teachers must be employed
early The superintendent was in
structed to work out some method on
which to base salaries and also to be-
gin to engage teachers at once for
the next term.
The superintendent was also author
lied to confer with DR.. E. G. Peek.
who is delegated by the trustees to
act for them to ascertain what teach
ers in the Ocala schools will remain
and salaries for same.
Teachers reports and sundry bills
were presented and ordered paid as
per financial statement filed with the
clerk of the court, and also III the of
flee of the superintendent.
There being no further business the
board adjourned to meet in regular
session the first Tuesday in May

pIe Of Michigan Were Aroused by
Danger of Election Of Henry Ford.

Grand Rapids, Feb. 8.-Truman II.
Newberry entered the 1918 senator
ial campaign at ,the solicitation Of
others and not in furthcrance Of a
scheme to get q seat in the senate,
said James o. Murfin, OF Detroit, in
outlining to the Jury in United
States district court the attitude the
defense will assume toward the
charges Of conspiracy and fraud for
which 1913 men are on trial
Judge Murfin explained the de-
fenses view of the specific details
OF the offenses charged in the six
counts OF the indictments emphasiz-
ing that conspiracy Is the essence Of
the charges.
1t was pointed out that on the
first four counts 'the gist of the
charge is not fraud in the election,
corruption or anything Of that de-
scription," but that the defendants
are charged with aiding or abetting
or assisting Truman IL. Newberry to
commit an offense. to-wit, "the Of
Tense Of spending more of his money
than the law allows"
No Limit As to Expenditures.
1t was further argued that under
tho Michigan law as long as ex-
penses come within tho eleven pro-
visions in the statute there is no
limit as to the amount OF money a
candidates friends can spend In his
behalf
1T is my purpose" Judge Murfin
told the jurors, ito point out to you
In exact detail everything that was
done by any one connected with tho
campaign. in order that you may
understand in every detail. Tho
campaign was unusually hot, and In
ilnalyzinE and considering every
thing the respondents did, 1t should
he considered In what light they
did 1t.
t"Our country was at war. and at
tho time Of the election the situa-
tion was critical. Tho fate OF the
civilized world was hanging in tho
balance, with tho last German drive
at It's height. the channel ports
threatened and tho German armies
within thirty miles Of Paris.
