spirit of the school reflects the
confidence which teachers and
pupils have in his ability.
We were also pleased to note
that all teachers on the high
school level were properly as
signed to their fields of prep
aration. The instruction is OF
good, average quality. Every
effort should be made to de-
velop a high degree of pupil
participation in planning as
SignmentS, unit studies, re =
search projects developing class
room subject atmoSpheres, in
dividual and group projects and
classroom activities.
The instruction on the ele-
mentary level is good. T e
wealth of teaching materials
and their use in the claSsrooms
is lcommendable. We wer e
pleased to observe a wide
range of experiences in class
units, art and Sciene. T h e
children were we'll adjusted
happy and industrious.
The library remains unSatiS-
factory in the number of books,
periodicals, balance of fiction

science should prove an in
valuable aid in organizing and
building up the library.
Your attention is directed to
the following recommendations
and suggestions:
l When chemistry and physics
are on an alternate schedule,
chemistry should be scheduled
on odd years.
2. AS soon as feasible, the

Dear Republican Voter:

Dear Republican Voter:
This is letter introducing
to you Mr.. James 1. Hunt, who
is running for the full t e m
County Commissioner, Geauga
County.
We would like to take this
opportunity to give you some
of Jim's history. Jim has re-
ceived his high school educa-
tion in cambridge, Russell, and
Chagrin Falls high schools.
Graduated from Chagrin Falls
in 1928, then went on to Ohio
State university,
We believe that one of the
best things ever said bout
Jim was by Mr.. Frank Coombs
of the Blepp-Coombs Sporting
Goods Company, when he
chose Jim as captain of tn e
Cuyahoga county All Star BaS-
ketball Team. II choose James
Hunt as captain of the All
Star Team because he is one
of the best leaders of his team
I have ever know" Jim has
been good leader ever since.
Jim has worked his way up
to the top of every organiza-
ton Of which he has been a
member, business, fraternal or
social. We know Jim to be a
very good business man, is
we'll liked by his employees as
we'll as his customers. He is a
man of vision as we'll as a
man of action and is deeply
interested in any project which
means the development a n d
Improvement of his county and
community.
Jim is As years old and a
good family man, has a nice
family consisting of Frances
Moss Hunt and three vely
children.
We know Jim to be very
we'll qualified to serve as Ge-
auga County Commissioner. He
has served many years as
counselman and at present is
on the Middlefield school
Board. Jim'S work has taken
him before the legislation many
times at Columbus. He h
made many friends there.
May we suggest that you
support James I. Hunt, Re =
publican, at the primary on
May 4, 1854.
We honestly believe tn t
jim will make one of the best
Commissioners that Geauga
County has ever known.
Yours very truly,

Two Governors Called
Enemies Of Democracy

SAVANNAH, Ga.-A scathing at.
tach on James F. Byrnes and Her
man Talmadge as enemies of our
democratic form of government
was made here today by dis
tinguished judge and civil rights
leader. s>.
Judge Hubert T. Delaney of New
York scored recent tactics of the
two Southern governors to evade a
possible Supreme Court decision
eliminating public school segrega-
ton.
"These men have indicated that
they will defy the authority of the
Supreme Court when it hands down
the only decision we can fairly ex-
pect," Judge Delaney declared.
"They are the enemies of demo-
cratic form of government"
"You do not need to be a Su-
preme Court jurist to know that
segregation is per Sc inequality"
he continued. Judge ]. Waties
Waring, that distinguished jurist
from South Carolina, told us that
in 1851 when the Clarendon Coun-
ty case was originally decided"
do not be AFRAID of the prcpa-
ganda of Brynes and Talmadge and
their ilk. Do not believe it when
you hear it said that the public
schools will close, that Negro
teachers, and principals will lose
their jobs, that blood will flow in
the streets of the South when the
decision is handed down.

The beginning of separate high
schools in Phoenix dates back, ac-
cording to report, to 1919. The two
classrooms were on the Phoenix
Union High School campus, with
two teachers, Mrs. c. B. Caldwell,
who died in AS, first principal. Mrs.
Myrtle Rodgers, present dean of
women at Carver joined the staff
the second year as assistant prin-
cipal.
The Colored High School, as it
was known then, later moved to
9th St. and E. Jefferson and then
to the present sight. The princi-
pals to follow Mrs. Caldwell were
Mr.. Willard Wood, Mr.. Roy Lee,
and Mr.. w. A. Robinson, who will
be the last administrator at the
end of IS years of segregated high
schools in Phoenix.
The present plan is to absorb the
20 Carver teachers who all have
Master degrees, in other schools

meeting unless legal complications
appear.
This was the final decision of the
school board after having taken in
consideration the tremendous cost
of continuing operation of Carver
for Negro students only. There
were other fators, too, that influ-
enced the boards decision-namely,
the undesirable location, the
schools standard in regard to space
and equipment, all of these, ac-
cording to one of the board men,
bers, were contributing factors in
the boards decision to abolish the
35 year old institution of learning.
Arizona has had only two high
schools designated as Negro schools
in her history-Carver here, and
Dunbar in Tucson. When the State
Legislature enacted a law In 1851
permitting school districts to ban
segregation in public schools, Tue
son integrated her schools the fol-
lowing school year. Phoenix fol-
lowed suit two years later by in
tegrating the high school and kim
