School Board Called
To Meet; King George
Attorney Not Invited
Special Dispatch 10 The Stor

KING GEORGE COURT HOUSE,
Va, Nov. 9. The County School
Board has been called" into a spe-
cial meeting this afternoon at
Bowling Green in neighboring Car
oline County, Commonwealth's At
torney Horace T. Morrison disclosed
today.
The board, which last week was
advised by Circuit Court Judge Leon
M. Bazile to drop courses at the
white high school here to equalize
facilities with those at the Negro
school, did not invite Mr.. Morrison
or School Supt. r. Benton Gayle, the
Commemorative Attorney said.
LAS Commemorative Attorney"
Mr.. Morrison said, Il am legal ad-
wiser to the board and the law re-
quires me to be present. Unless I
receive formal notice, however,
I shall not be present. I leave it
to you to guess why the meeting
was called"
Land Negotiations Under Way.
Mr.. Morrison last week suggested
that Judge Bazile had exceeded his
authority" in advising the board to
drop chemistry, physics, geometry,
biology and second-year algebra at
the King George High School.
Mr.. Gayle serves as clerk to the
School Board.
Mr.. Morrison has under way ne
gotiations to acquire land to double
the size of the present AZ acre tract
at the King George County Training
School for Negroes at Edge Hill,
about three miles from here.
This Is the initial step to be
taken to eoualize facilities there
since a special referendum Satur-
day authorized issuance Of $150,000
in bonds.
Mr.. Morrison and Mr.. Gayle said
negotiations were started although
there has been no formal action by
the School Board. The bond issue,
approved, 322 to 245, was to acquire
more land, build additions to the
present frame structures and pro-
vide additional equipment.
Morrison Orders Restoration.
Mr.. Morrison said Mrs. Thelma
johnson, colored, is the owner of
land adjacent to the school. If the
price is right" the county will pro-
ceed with the purchase without
condemnation proceedings in the
court, he said.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Morrison has
given the school board until Thurs
day to restore the five classes
dropped from the King George
High School curriculum. The boards
action in dropping the courses was
an attempt to comply Immediately
with a Federal court order to equal
ize facilities. The action also was
in defense Of petition by Negroes
to cite school officials for contempt
in failing to bring training school
facilities to a higher level before
now.
School Board Chairman r. E.
Owens has said, however, the board
would not restore any of the
courses until it had the permission
of Judge Bazile. Mr.. Morrison and
Mr.. Gayle opposed dropping the
courses.
Mr.. Morrison indicated that SEN
timent was growing among the
white patrons of King George High
School in favor of restoring the
courses and that they would not
wait longer than tomorrow"
Mr.. Morrison said King George
citizens demonstrated their good
faith in their efforts to equalize
school facilities for white and Negro
pupils when they voted Saturday
for the bond issue.
Mr.. Morrison said some parents
had sought unsuccessfully to have
their children enrolled in schools at
La Plata, Md, and nearby Freder-

30% Rise in School Rolls
Seen in Next Seven Years

The Nations public schools. hard
pressed as they are now for teachers
and classroom space, face a 80 per
cent increase in enrolment in the
next seven years. the National Edu-
cation Association warned today.
The warning was issued by Will
lard E. Givens, executive secretary
of the NEA, as the associations re-
search division completed new esti-
mates of future school enrollments.
"On the basis of recent birth
rates, the number of children en-
rolled in public schools in 1855 will
be more than 100000 in excess of
the enrolment for the 1947-1948
school year." he said. School enroll
ment in 1948 was about 24,373,0O.
The NEA executive secretary esti-
mated that public school program
for these added children, based on
present unit costs, would call for an
additional operating expenditure of
81 .000, 100000 and 100000 more
teachers. New buildings to house
the children would require s10,000,-
100000 in the next seven years, he
added.

All Episcopal Churches
To Join In Nationwide
Service Sunday, Feb. %

The churches of Episcopal par
ishes in the county will all hold
their services at IL o'clock Sunday,
that their members may join the
estimated 100000 persons who
will listen to a religious broadcast
at 1880.
This year February 29th falls
on a Sunday-the first time that
has happened in % years. 1t is be-
ing celebrated in an unusual way
by Episcopalians when they will
hear the voice of their Presiding
Bishop, the Ri. Rev. Henry Knox
Sheriff., by means of a new and
extraordinary use of radio. More
than 600 radio stations will be in
the nationwide hookup. This is the
largest number ever gotten to-
gether for a religious broadcast.
The county churches will there
fore install receivers, and the con-
gregations will sit in their pews
and at exactly 11:92h A. M; hear
their bishops voice.
The bishop will tell of the needs
of war-devastated countries of Eu-
rope and Asia, and urge his fol-
lowers to accept their "plain duty
and privilege" of helping the suf-
fering millions. The same scene
and the same message will be re-
peated in thousands of Episcopal
churches all over the country at
exactly the same time.
