School Battle Resumed
The battle over the closing Of the
Millville and Pond Hill schools is not
ended and will not be ended until
doomsday" unless the board Of edu-
cation alters its stand on this, it was
indicated at the school board meet
ing yesterday by Burgess Fremont
Hoadley, who with Albert Mai of
Millville, another man and two
women represented the protesting
group at the session yesterday.
Their presence was surprise, for
it had been though active efforts of
the group to get the board to
change its mind had been dropped
for a time at least. But Mr.. Hoadley
early indicated that this was not
correct. He said that he did not
agree with a newspaper headline
which described the efforts of the
protesting group to get the schools
re-opened, as fight" but said that
the last meeting was only the first
round and added, when the clock
strikes 5 on the afternoon Of each
date of the board meetings, it will
just mean another round is coming
up"
He later said that the group feels
ut is worth Our time to come down
here every meeting night from to-
night until doomSday."
So 1t appears that 1t may be a war
of endurance and judging from some
Of the comments of board members
after the session, it Is already be-
ginning to get on their nerves.
Lost Faith"
Mr. Hoadley said more from Pond
Hill did not attend because most of
the residents there have "lost all
faith in the ability of the school
board to give them a square deal"
He siad the bus transporting chill
dren in that district developed
trouble once since the last meeting
and the children had to be let out
at point some distance before they
usually are.
He said one child suffered a fall
at Central avenue school because
someone pushed her. and necessi-
tated two stitches being taken in her
cut lip. The child'S father, who was
at the meeting, asked Mr.. Chitten-
den to tell the board members in
full about the matter and the sup
erintendent did. Mr.. Chittenden
said it was a "regrettable" occur
renee but indicated similar things
happen weekly in one way or the
other and expressed doubt that any
human being could prevent them.
The father said he realized such
things were bound to happen but
said what he objected to was that
the accident happened at 1926 and
that the daughter was not taken to
her home until ll:55. He felt that
she should have been taken to doc
tor before this, feeling the injury
was sufficient 10 warrant taking her
10 q doctor before notifying the
parents. He felt the system should
be changed.
System To Stand
Mr.. Chittenden said the system
would not be changed. He said that
1t took little time to get the school
nurse after the accident and that
she took the child 10 It's home. He
added II Is the policy TO get parents
consent about the child going 10 q
