‘Child box’ destroyed
HAMILTON, Ga. (AP) - Two open
top plywood boxes used for isolating
disruptive children at a Harris County
elementary school have been destroyed
following complaints from parents.
Constructed and used without the
knowledge of School Supt. Michael
Hickerson, the boxes were tom apart
this week, a school spokeswoman said.
The boxes were built on the orders of
principal H.B. Floyd, specifically for
isolating “problem” children.
A 9-year-old pupil spent several hours
in one of the windowless boxes Thurs
day and Friday after she was involved
in arguments with other students.
The child, Teresa Browne, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Browne of
Hamilton, ate her noon meal in the box,
which was about the size of a household
refrigerator, according to her third
grade teacher, Ellen McCarley.
Floyd denied the boxes were used as
punishment, but Mrs. McCarley, who is

his daughter, said that was why they
were built.
“They are simply to isolate the
children," Floyd said, “to keep them
from disturbing other children and to
keep other children from disturbing
them.”
Mrs. McCarley said she asked for a
box because another teacher had used
one and had gotten good results.
“She volunteered to go in,” said Mrs.
McCarley. “If she was frightened, why
didn’t she tell me?”
Mrs. McCarley said Teresa “has
been a problem with me and other
people. I’ve paddled her and I’ve fussed
at her. I hate to beat the child.”
Teresa’s mother was one of two
parents who complained about the
boxes.
“I’m not saying Teresa is an angel,
because she is far from that,” Mrs.
Browne said. “But I think what they do
is a little too much.”

Shapard
to study
hospitals
Sen. Virginia Shapard of
Griffin has been appointed to 2
additional special committees,
one of which will determine
whether changes need to be
made in the law authorizing
state grants to hospitals, while
the other will conduct a review
of the state’s mental disability
laws.
“Os course, everyone thinks
immediately of the financial
difficulties that Grady
Memorial Hospital in Atlanta
has been having,” said
Shapard, adding, “But I think
we have to not only take a look
at Grady but also a broader look
into what the state’s role in
participating with hospital
authorities across the state is.”
“Many of our hospitals are in
financial difficulty, and it
occurs to me that one reason
that a lot of hospitals are having
trouble is because the state has
slipped so far behind on their
portion of the payments of
Medicaid,” said Shapard.
systems of tillage.
“More land preparation may
mean more yield to the farmer
per year, but it may not be
paying for itself over the long
run. Minimum tillage systems
which require less energy and
may produce slightly less
yields, may prove to be more
economical over a period of
years,” says Reid.
He has developed an energy
measurement system
composed of 2 Plexiglas tanks
with solenoid valves. The tanks
are set up so that tractors can
run directly off the fuel in the
tanks, while intake and
feedback is measured. Thus far
he has measured the fuel
required by a tractor to plow at
one depth, subsoil bed at 2
depths and bed at one depth.
