Of County Hoard of Education—
Matter of Discipline in Stan*-
Innd School Is. Adjusted.
The Thomas County Board Of
Education held a meeting yesterday
at the Court House, being in ses
sion for several hours. At that time
the two newly appointed members,
Messrs. J. F. Harris, of Pavo, and
J. L. Gleason, of Metcalfe, partici
pated in their first meetini. Mr.
Harris was elected as President of
the Board. Air. J. T. Chastain being
the V r ice-Pre«ident and Superinten
dent Searcy the Secretary.
A matter of discipline, from tbw
■ifannland School, was referred to
the Board for action. It seems
that the teacher of that school, Miss
Clevle Hand, ptin’shed a young child
a switch hi order to make It
perform the regular method of
reading which she had adopted.
Several stripes wore made on th©
child’s legs and the matter was
taken up by the trustees and then
referred to the Board. Miss Halid
was allowed to continue in charjg©
of the school, the sense of the Board
being that no action was necessary
in the rase. Miss Hand is one of th©
best informed and one of the most
canahle teachers 'n the schools of
the county. V*
