The Geauga county S C n o ol
board, meeting Saturday after
noon, refused to transfer about
20 students living in Mesopo,
tamia township, Trumbull coun-
ty, from Middlefield school dis
trict to MeSopotamia h o o
district.
Kenneth Grace, Michael A.
Plizza and Joseph M. Miller
were present at the meeting to
discuss the problem and to give
reasons why the students should
be sent to Mesopotamia instead
of Middlefield. Three reasons
they presented for the transfer
were:
BEING RESIDENTS of Mes
opotamia township, they felt the
children should attend tn a t
townships school. They d
this was the preference of the
students and families concern
ed.
BEING CLOSER to MeSopo-
tamia schools, it would be more
convenient for the students and
their families if the area were
to be transferred, they said. ES-
pecially since Hayes corners
school has been closed.
ROOM is available in Meso-
potamia schools to accommodate
the 20 students, if they should
be transferred.
The Middlefield school SyS =
tenn was reported to be against
the transfer since they too
have room, because with the
building of Amish schools many
students have transferred.
Without expecting the Amish
to build, Middlefield had pur-
chased new chairs and desks.
They now not only have room,
but, also new equipment.

the MunSon school district to
the Chardon school district was
proposed by Mr.. and Mrs. Will

The board decided to see
what Munson had to say about
giving up the area before tax
ing any action.
PRACTICE TEACHING by
Lake Erie college seniors, teach
ing under trained teachers in
county schools, was approved
by the board. The college is
paying the Geauga teachers a

county has now 81 busseS of
which 81 are good and 35 are
unsatisfactory. Superintendent

put them in good condition.
However, he said, six other
busses are unservicable. Steps

place these buSseS.

All three bills passed with a

the "police power" would apply

The amendments had been a bit
ter bone of contention between the

Perez, one time national states

amendments "helped the conspir-

troduced at the instigation of
Msgr. H. c. Bezou, superintendent
of Catholic schools in New Orleans.
Bezou denied Perez charges and

He warned that Negro leaders
would not "stand idly by while enc

closed door conferences for the pur-
