To Air Differences

yesterday to remove Mrs. Efiie Ayars
as principal of the Columbia Park
School. a delegation from the COM
munity asked the board to withhold
action pending q meeting between
the residents and MRS. Ayars in m

Ayars Furnishes pupils sy whipping
them with q piece of rope and by
pulling their hair. They added that
she also fails to get along" with
Miss Helen Dixon, the other teacher
at the school.
Superintendent of Schools G.
Gardner Shugart pointed out that
II Mrs. Ayars was removed the
school would have to be closed. since
Miss Dixon has submitted her res
ignation, although no action has
been taken on it.
He asserted that there always has
been lack of cooperation between
residents of the community and
teachers and that charges against
the principal probably have been
exaggerated.
Il don't think a teacher should
be removed merely because a grour
Of people come in and ask for II
without Offering any proof Of theiI
charges" Mr.. Shugart declared
Besides, Miss Dixon has q record OF
failing to cooperate with teachers
at other schools"
The board appointed Charles d
Hehner trustee at the Linden Hill
School to replace Charles A. Burg
dorf, who has moved away.
