racial high school boundaries,
which take effect Monday Tor
junior high graduates. would
have produced more integration.
Factors Are Listed.
He listed these factors as be-
ing at least partially responsible
for the small racial interchange:
1. A considerable number Of
students have moved.
2. Some students have been AL
lowed to enter a school outside
their own school zone because Of
special course requirements.
3. A few children have been
allowed to attend d different
school because Of doctors GER
tiflcates stating this was neces-
sary emoti0nally. The school
system also granted some such
exceptions last fall as Hardship
cases. Dr.. Corning pointed out.
Few Exceptions.
The superintendent said the
number Of exceptions has been
very small. They have been
granted to both Negro and white
pupils. he said.
DR.. Margaret j. Butcher, Me-
gro Board of Education member,
last week told the board she had
been informed no white children
were being promoted to former
Negro schools. This DR.. Corning
today denied.
A total Of 525 students are be-
ing graduated from former Me-
gro junior highs. making q grand
total Of 1895 graduates. Elemen-
tary schools have abandoned
midyear promotions, so no pupils
are moving from grade to Junior
high schools.
Or. Corning told reporters
that integration was far ahead
of original plans and that it was
going smoothly in many respects.
He said he wished public empha-
sis might be put on the positive
accomplishments, rather than on
flaws, although he stressed he
had no desire to have any school
operations covered up or. not re-
ported to the public honestly.
Among aspects of the school
program where integration has
been working with particular
success he listed sports, inter-
school visits Of teachers and
principals and cooperation
among student councils.
The superintendent disclosed
that the school system stands to
save $4,000 on construction Of
the Carter q. Wccdson Junior
High School at Minnesota ave.
nue. and Foote street NE. Low
bid on the school, $1.o78. 600
made by the Blake Construction
Co.. win permit the saving.
The new school win be started
hy March and is expected to be
finished In August. 1856.
