gone, but police arrested Charles

Supt. Ellis Speaks
To Women's
Civic League

Charlottesville, Va.-Fen-
dali R. Ellis, superintendent
of Charlottesville Schools,
discussed the city's pending
school bond issue before a
public meeting sponsored by
the Women's Civic League
(colored) held in Carver
Recreation Center, at 8 p.
M, Thursday, August 6.
Supt. Ellis, who assumed
his present duties on July
/, emphasized at the outset
that he hoped to work with
the citizens of Charlottes-
vile towards the betterment
of all schools. under his jul
risdiction. He related in de-
tail some of the most press
ing needs facing the city's
white schools which the
bond issue set for a vote on
August 18th is expected to
correct. Ellis reminded his
listeners that although he
had not made a study of
Negro school needs because
of the very brief period he
has been in his present po-
sltion, a casual observation
had indicated to him that
certain conditions exist at
Jefferson School which he
believes will be duly cor
rected.
When asked by one of his
listeners, why no provisions
were contained in the pro-
posed bond issue for cor
recting conditions at the
city's Negro schools, Ellis
replied to the effect that
school authorities were ap-
parently trying to meet the
more pressing school needs
first, and that he believed
the needs of all the city's
schools would be met as
speedily as possible. He adj
v1sed the group that plans
surrounding the bond issue
had been completed when
ne assumed his position. In
closing, Ellis requested pa
thence and cooperation and
reiterated his determination
TO strive for a school sys-
tenn in Charlottesville that
Will rank with the best in
the State.
