Members of the Caldwell
exempted village school board,
with the assistance of Supt.
George w. Webb, have inaugu-
rated new program in the
educational framework of the
local system.

tional system.

mitted to enroll.

class because they are unable
to maintain the standard learn
ing requirements among children
