COLLINS QUITS
AS PRINCIPAL
IN CALEXICO

Friction between C. B. Collins.
principal of the Calexieo high school
and parents of several high school
students, IL believed to be the cause
for the resignation of the former,
in letter sent this week to j. +.
Siegel, president of the Calexico
school board.
1t is stated that petitions against
the re-employment of Principal
Collins have been circulated for sew
eral days past among Calexico vot-
ers, and that strong opposition to
the principal s stand ON discipline
was the main reason for the breach
between Collins and the parents.
Collins is quoted as stating that
he WAS told two years ago when he
came to CalcX;co that discipline at
the high school was at very low
ebb and that it would be his duty
to correct this condition. He had
tried to carry out these instruc-
tions, he maintained, and expressed
regret that his ideas evidently do
not coincide with those of some of
the students parents.
