Merwyn French, sr., another board member, w-as not present More than persons attended the soh*x>l meeting called Friday at the Legion club in O'Neill by Richard Itrauer, jr , secretary of the Nebraska School Improvement Association The purpose of the meeting, ac cording to lirauer, was to Investi gate certain statements contained in a letter written by Miss Alice French, Holt county solxx'l super intendent. Itrauer asked Miss French In explain each ami every para graph In the letter. Miss French did just that. Miss French said that she was re quired to submit the re-organiza tion map to the state commissioner but she did not necessarily feel that the plan submitted was the liest for the county. "We can’t bring all the children to O'Neill, or any other town. It is much better, though, to have larger districts, and the better schixds that larger districts an* able to support. II is not feasible to bring ALL the children to on** or two towns in Holt county as it is in some counties," Miss French said. She went on to say that some school districts are all right just lh«* way they are. but in many other cases more mileage could lx* received from the school dollar if re-organization was accomplished. !>1lss Krenrh sum min existing school laws that govern three mile limits on school districts, were w ritten In horse awl buggy days and fivemile limit is much more realistic In the automobile era. Regarding a portion of the let ter that dealt with phonetic lust ruc tion in the rural schools, Miss French said that rural school teachers have told her that (hey always teach phonetics, and even taught it during the years when phonetics was <le-emphnsized. She said that all pupils are not equal, though, and therefore some students received more training than others. The explanation of her letter to this point seemed to satisfy Brauer, but Miss French, then went on to question the legality of school districts using taxes in join ing the NSIA. According to Miss French, only those organizations I that are school hoard organizations are entitled to use of tax funds. Since all other school hoard or ganizations have the words "school hoard" in their title and the NSIA does not, then why were school districts using tax money to join tin' organization? At this point Brauer assured Miss French that the NSIA is a honafide "school board” organization and that Miss French could very easily have cheeked this before she start ed casting doubts as to the legali ty of the organization. Then Brauer rend portions of a letter written by the school super intendent of Washington county in an attempt to prove lint Miss French had used that letter in pre paring her own letter dated Febru ary 10. Miss French had previously stated that everything in her letter wAs her own. At tills time of the meeting, | Miss French stated that she hail other business to attend to and left the meeting. The time of her departure was 2 :no—one-half ' hour after the meeting was call ed to order. Brauer then conducted a Nebras ka School Improvement Assoe>a I tion rally, at one time calling for I those who favor having the state commissioner of education face a vote stand. Brauer said that the organization does not wish to hi* influenced by educators hut by grass-roots thinking people. "The state’s plan for till K-12 type of schools is a plan to com pletely reglmentize our schools,” Brauer said. He went on to say that if we want local government, we had better hang onto what wo have That was in reference to the appointment, of the state school head. tsrauer later said, 1 nope tne people of Nebraska will rise up and take teaching hack from the so called education experts," He ‘aid the recent re-organization plan was probably the most realistic plan ever submitted, but that it was turned down at the state level for not being more complete. (Comprehensive re-organization plans are approved or disapproved as a whole and portions of a plan are not accepted until the whole plan meets with the state’s ap proval.) At present, the NSIA is circulat ing a petition to have the next bal lot carry a clause asking the people to vote for or against hav ing the state commissioner of ed ucation elected rather than ap pointed. The petition must be in by March 20.
