A double barreled prog
ram at the Geauga County
Council of PTA meeting in
Burton, May 5, featured two
speakers, who discussed new
phases in education, now in
progress, which will provide
the most and best education
for each individual according
to his interests and potential
tiles.
Mr.. G.. C. Courtright, prin-
cipal of Max S, Hayes Trade
School in Cleveland, strongly
recommended county cen
trail vocational school for
boys and girls who are of av-
erage intelligence. or above,
who do not want to go to col
lege, but would like the best
possible preparation for the
places they will take in in
dustry.
Complementing the post
high school vocational edu-
cation is the Junior College,
or two year Community Col
lege in Fine Arts. Mr.. C. Lee
Mantle, who spearheaded the
drive for such a college in
PaineSville, stated that this
is the answer to the present
critical shortage of higher
educational facilities.
Mr.. Mantle listed the o /
lowing advantages Of a Jun
ior College,: students usual
ly live at home, can work
part time, and since a civic
organization usually SubSidiz-
eS part of the educational bill,
students pays minimum fee;
classes are small, so that stu

students who do wish to, 60
on with their education may
then enter the school of their
choice, and frequently have
found that they make better
grades than those who enter
ed the larger school as fresh
men.
Both speakers felt that the
these types of post high scho-
oil educational institutions on
a county level are not only
desirable, but represent a
growing trend in education,
particularly in areas like Ge-
auga County.

for the average of fifteen
prisoners in the Geauga jail.

In Retaining Title

Tokyo, Japan CANP) - Deal
ing out severe punishment, partic-

featherweight champion Davey
Moore Of Springfield, o., scored a
unanimous decision over japanese
challenger Kazuo Takayama to re-
tain his title in their IS round
bout here early last week.
He bombarded his opponent so
constantly that it seemed only a
matter of time until Takayama
collapsed. However, Takayama
hung on and weathered the storm
to gain what was described as a
moral victory" Most experts had
expected Moore to flatten Takay-
ANA inside of five rounds.
In fact, a controversy arose
when it was believed that the ref
cree, Maj. Jimmy Wilson Of Los
Angeles, had stopped the fight in
the 18th round, following a savage
attack by Moore. But although
Moore's manager, Willie Ketchum,
protested strongly that the bout
had been halted then, the referee
declared that he had not. He said
he had heard the bell before es-
corting Takayama to his corner.
