a subcommittee composed OF DR.. H.
V. Holloway, Professor W. A. VIII
kinson and DR.. Allan Hulsizer.
The committee based its recon-
mendation upon the fact that With
in five wears a substantial majority
of tha children in rural Delaware
will be in the large consolidated
school unit. The demonstration

problem fthe superintendent OF the
Snecial District and the Board OF the
Consolidated Rural School Is 10 see

is concerned, it seems fairly obvious
that a geographical center such as
Georgetown will permit OF greater
specialization and greater develop
ment for local leadership; ~ Ior
several years students of the upper
grades and high schools in the nVe
districts near Georgetown have peen
going to Georgetown, therefore,

A petition bearing the names ol
more than a hundred of the coln-
