Board of Education has Busy
Session Framing School Plans
The Board of Education had a
busy session Tuesday, the final meet
ing before the schools of the county
open next Monday morn : ng, and
•many important matters were dis
posed of.
The board decided to rebuild the
school at Ssottsboro reinvesting the
insurance money in the new build
ing. A. special committee composed
-f C. F. Riley and the losal board
of the iSyottsbero dstrict, Messrs.
George Holl nrhead, D. T. Haley and
G. W. Edwards, was named to select
the sito for the building. Work will
be started at once and a modern
school building will be erected.
The rebuilding of the school house
was vigorously opposed by Superin
tendent P. N. Bivinn on the grounds
that it is not in keeping with the
best educational policy of the times,
and unwise from a business point of
The board named M. A. Davis to
drive the school bus on route Ni
13 which is the route from the camp
of the Allied Engineers.
Tho Board received a petition un
animously signed by the patrons and
tax payers of the Union Point School
District asking that the Board of
Education use every effort to se
cure a model rural consolidated
scboo.l which the Board of Regents
proposes to establish in Middle Geor
gia. The hoard pledged itself to use
every effort to secure this project
r the Union Point district. ■
The board took up the question
of reducing the levy of taxes for the
support and maintenance of the com
mon .» bools but found they were
unable to do so because the Georgia
School code requires every county
to levy 5 mills for the support of
schools in order to participate in
the distribution #i the equilixation
fund.
The equil'ration fund in a special
fund derived from gu-oline taxc.-
end amounts to $18,000 to $20,000
for Baldwin county’s share
year. The failure to levy a live
mills tax would take this amount
of money away from the county,
and our school system would be un
able to operate without this fund.
The board ordered a ten per cent
reduction in all salaries from the
Schpol Superintendent on down for
the ensuing term. Tee reduction was
necessary because of reduced in
tome for next year.
The board announced that all
plans were completed for schools to
open on time Monday morning and
a large enrollment was anticipat
ed.

Judge James B. Park sustained <
imurrer filed by the Board of Edu

prevent the board from naming a
principal for the Cooperville school.
T. V. Smith, head of the Coopcr-
ville school, asked the court to
grant a permanent order preventing
the board from naming his successor
and to mandamus the board to
elect him to this position. Judge Park
overruled both petitions and gave

board had been temporarily

action in this matter.
Smith contended that there was
prejudice on the board against
him and that the people of the Coop-
ervillc community wanted him re
tained in this place. A meeting of
>he citizens off this community gave

of seasoned material. With the ex-
•eption of three of four veterans
■nd several reserves from las* year’s
team, the entire squad is composed
of men of unknown quality. Last
year’s team went through a rigor
ous season without a defeat to mar
its record. It was ono of the great
est teams to ever wear the Red and
Black The schedule for thin season
is one to try the noul of any foot
ball coach, but Wally Butts is dig-
g ng in and will make every effort to
afford the fans of Miiledgeville a
team that will be on a par with that
of 1932.
In looking over the prospects for
the 1933 squad, Clayton Wilhite a
veteran end of several seasons
looms up an the most experienced
man on the team. During the sum
mer Clayton has picked up quite a
bit of weight and now tips the scales
over 190 pounds. He is a certain
for one of the end positions. Ho
stand over «ix feet and uses his
he'ght to quite an advantage in
nagging forward passes. This year
hould see his name on several of the
All Star prep teams.
Next comes Bill Hartman, a back
of much promise. Last season Bill
was used most effectively on the
triple reverse and Minnesota power
play, plays which accounted fo*
much of the ground gained t»y the
cadet back- Bill is a husky boy and
p'aya hie position well both on of
fense and defen-e. He will go a long
way toward helping coach Butts
solve his backfield problems.
The guard proposition as it now
stands looks like Higginbotham and
Combes. ‘‘Dump’’ Higginbotham ia
a veteran of last year’s squad who
saw lots of service. He should be
able te hold his position thin year
without any trouble. Combes, a re
serve from last ye"r has the extra
ordinarily hard task of filling the
shoes of Roger Dodd, crack guard
of tho 1932 team, who was lost
through graduation: how
ever Combes is a big strong boy
with plenty of power, and with a
