SCHOOL PROBE TO START
PaolI Parents to Appear at Hearing
In Berwyn

Parents of school children, town Of
fcials and members of the board of
school directors will attend the meeting
to be held tonight in the Bcrwyn High
School, to hear complaints of parents
concerning alleged cruel treatment of
student children by teachers in the Paoli
schools. Excitement in the section has
not died down. since the holding of an
Indignation meeting last week.
William Patterson. president of the
school board, is quoted in a definite
statement as having ordered an in
vestigation. ''and if the findings sub
stantiate charges made" has signified
his intention Of taking drastic action.
The charges, as made by parents, are
in effect that instructors struck and
otherwise cruelty treated children who.
the teachers said, had violated school
rules. Parents insist that offenses were
of the most trivial type and cruel treat
ment was unmerted.
