IRATE PARENTS
(Continued From Plfi One)
tfiKH private schools are usual
ly not ready for second grade
work since “there is too much
emphasis on beginning reading."
She said that there are “bad after
effects’* when children are taught
to read too young.
She added that the Monroe
County School system offers a
program of "enrichment." in
cluding games, and excursions.
Miss Ruth Goodspeed, who
conducts a private school here,
mid that her experience has
shown her that several children
she has had in her school have
been ready tor second grade
work.
John Archer, 425 Francis
Street, protested the practice of
holding back the children saying
that children who have already
completed die work offered in the
first grade often sit in the class
room suffering from boredom.
Some parents have been forced
to remove their children from
school for that reason, it was
brought out
"Give our kids a chance,** be
pleaded.
Another parent said that his
child came home from school
where she wss ahead of the class
saying: "Daddy, 1 don’t have to
go to school—l already know what
they are tatting about."
A Naval officer whs appsartd
st fw meeting pointed out the
possible effect on children of
service personnel. He said that
he is slated to he transferred to
New Jersey seen end that if his
child is net put In the second
grade he will lose e full year's
school.
"If I lose a year here and a
year someplace else, I’ll spend
the rest of my life educating my
children," he mid.
But, Miss Roberts countered
with a charge that many parents
send their children to private
school in a deliberate attempt to
evade the law on age require
ments for school entrance.
One mother answered this by
saying that she sent her daugh
ter to e private school "because
she had to help her husband earn
e living."
At this point, Mrs. Harry
Baker, 1125 United Street took
the fleer end scored O'Bryant
for his arbitrary handling of the
problem. She said that she*had
been "thrown out" of his effict
when she attempted to discuss
the matter with him recently.
"She added that he threw up
his handrand asked her "if he
had to draw a picture."
"He said it is better to have
children running the streets than
to start school too early,” she de
clared.
O’Bryant also said that the
private schools should be investi
gated, Mrs. V. Baker charged.
She ended her statement by re
scaling that she was at a school
board meeting about 25 years
ago when O'Bryant was being
considered for the post as princi
pal of the Key West High School.

Hall added that he knew the
Greenlease family to be wealthy.
Bobby was whisked away from a
Catbdlic private school in Kansas
City 10 days ago by a woman
iposing as his aunt. Police here
would not say whether the Heady
i woman was the red-haired woman
who took the child tram the school.
The St. Louis Post * Dispatch,
which obtained the story before.it
was officially released, said the
Heady woman wss said to be the
same person who took the child
from the school.
Hall sobbed as ha told his story
to ranking St Louis police officials
and FBI agents. A .3? caliber pis
tol was found along with the mooey

A stenographer was called in to
take his statement.
Tbe woman was held in a sep
arate cell. She asked to talk to
Police Chief Jeremiah O’Connell.
The Post-Dispatch reported in its
copyright story anothr woman was
under arrest at Kansas City.
He was about to be turned down
when someone suggested that he
be given a chance and he got the
job.
“Give these children the
same kind of a chance,** Mrs.
Baker pleaded.
At one point, n spectator,
who identified himself as
Thomas Moors, 1127 United
Street, leaped to his feet end
grabbed chairmen Adams bf
tha shoulder.
"It’s a good thing I wasn’t
around when he said these
things,” he shouted.
Moore was restrained end the
meeting was returned to a semb
lance of order.
O’Bryant denied that he had
made the statements attributed
to him. “She is misquoting me.
It is not so. She is absolutely
wrong,” he declared.
Chairman Adams swung over
to the side of the parents when
he suddenly declared: “I’m all for
it It appears that there has
been some discrimination that I
was not aware of."*
The board then voted on War
ren’s motion and tha question
was settled.

Johns Orders
Check Of State
Purchase Policy
TALLAHASSEE Ifi-Acting Gov.
Charley E. Johns instructed the
state auditor today to check into
the purchasing policies of all agen
cies and departments under nom
inal control of the governor.
Johns said his order to State
Auditor Bryan Willis implemented
his recent directive that all but
buying of essential commodities
and supplies be halted.
"I want to satisfy myself that
•11 the departments under the gov
ernor’s office are following the in
tent of the Legislature when it
passed th purchasing council act
—that the state gets the cheapest
possible price on everything it
buys, big or little,*' Johns said.
He said he wanted Willis to look
at the purchasing records of such
agencies as the rotd department,
beverage department, tag depart
ment, industrial commission, con
servation department and those
which are run by boards or com
missions appointed by the gover
nor including the game and fresh
water fish commission.
Johns said he realized fully the
game commission is a constitu-.
tionsl agency with its own funds
and constitutional power to regu
late their spending.
“However, I feel that the gov
ernor has the duty to inquire into
the way any agency spends the
taxpayers’ money and if any ir
regularities are found, to bring it
to' the attention of the agency
heads," he said.
Willis has been instructed to
make his check of purchasing rec
ords as soon as possible and report
back to the acting governor.
“I want to get this purchasing
business settled as soon as pos
sible," Johnss aid.

Air Travel For
Babies, Invalids
Subject To Rules
■y VIRN HAUGLAND
MONTREAL UP—lt'a all right for
healthy babks to fly, if they are
more than 10 days old.
! But there are no set rules for
invalids. Airline medical depart-1
jments need information on each
one to determine if his disease]
'condition can safely be accepted
for air travel.
I These findings were reported to
day to the International Air Trans
port Assn. (LATA) by its Medical
Committee.
The committee said babies less
than 10 days old should not be
accepted for long flights.
“It takes this long after birth'
for pulmonary and circulatory
systems to become stabilised and
to make certain that there are no
concealed congenital defects which:
might be aggravated by altitude,"]
the group said.
It suggested that on crowded]
tourist class airplanes the best:
way to carry infants would be in
safety hammocks slung from lug-]
gage racks.
It noted also that air travel by
invalids has become common and]
that "even severely ill patients
could safely fly long distances in
pressurized aircraft, provided they
are selected carefully and proper
provision i; made for their care
and comfort”
Dr. K. E. Dowd of Montreal a
committee spokesman, said that
with modern airplanes air sickness
of passengers is no longer a major
problem. Studies indicate that fix
ation of the head to keep the pas
senger quiet in his seat will reduce
the discomfort of persons tending
to get air sick, he added.
