GEORGETOWN YOUTH
WILL RE-ENTER SCHOOL

DR.. Thomas r. Brown, of Wyoming,
president of the State Board of Edu-
cation, lost no time in taking action
to provide schooling for Georgetown
children after he had read a letter
printed in the Morning News, from
Clarence H. Pepper, rural free deliv-
cry, Georgetown:
"I have pulled my last string try
ing to get my children in a graded
school. The boys have not been to
school for about three years. What
can you advise me to do? During the
war my 13-year-old son left the last
part of the sixth grade to fill state
position Cat the North American Egg
Laying Competition of Georgetown) at
a salary of $65 month. Now, at the
age of 16, he wishes to return and
enter the seventh grade. The princi-
pal refuses to admit him in any grade.
yours truly,
Clarence H. Pepper"
"The letter in the newspaper is the
first intimation we have had of the
situation Mr.. Pepper writes about"
said Doctor Brown. $50 far as I
know, he has never brought the sub
ject to the attention of the State
Board of Education.
''I took the matter up with Mr..
Jump, assistant superintendent of in
struction, the first thing this morn
ing, and Mr.. Jump Immediately got in
touch with Georgetown. The situation
Mr.. Pepper complains of will be taken
care of at once"
Doctor Brown explained an unusual
condition that must be met in the case
of the Pepper boy, who is 16 years old,
and who desired to be placed in the
seventh grade. The average age Of pu-
pills in that grade is about 10 years.
But we will work out way to take
care Of that boy" Doctor Brown as
serted.
