Director J. L. Clifton, however, sent a letter to all County Superintendents requesting all eighth grade pupils to take the examinations. His reason is that he is desirous o f malting a com parison . between one-room rural schools and the centralized and con solidated schools. For this reason, all six year as well as four year high schools are co-oper ating with the State Department- , assisting the authorities to secure this comparative data. It will be interest ing to learn how the modem cen tralized schools compare with the one- room rural school. There will be another examination on May 16. All eighth grade pupils o f Cedarville will -be required to take both tests. ’ There would be no eighth grade examinations this time as we had last year since we are operating entirely on the six-year basis. Under our charter the seventh and eighth grade pupils a re. considered in. high, school just as much as the upper four grades; hence, there is no need for an eighth grade test.. It seems some what out, o f order to be -giving this examination under present conditions but we trust the patrons will realize we are complying with the, request o f the Director o f Education and County Superintendent in. making this com parative study. > 2 - . . . . . . . . . tiff i to have been the most -outstanding administrative characteristic ,of the management fo r several years.'past,” the report asserted. Garver is,, criticized particularly “ neglecting to transfer to hiB succes sor a deposit certificate fo r $576” be longing to an inmate. Andrews is blamed for “ mismanagement which re sulted in a loss o f $1,500,“ because GOO pairs ‘girls' high-topped shoes were left-unused on the shelves o f the institution store when the superin tendent started furnishing low shoes to inmates. Criticizing Colonel Burton’s admin istration the report asserts that his "genius fo r destructive carelessness amounts to an art which begars any thing in. this line observed by the ex aminer in his sixteen years’ experi ence in state institution work.” Burton Scored Burton is criticized particularly for ‘mislaying checks, deposit certificates, adjusted compensation certificates and money belonging to residents o f the institution." The report states speci fically, however, that the examiner does “ not intimate that Mr. Burton was anything more than careless." Other criticism o f Burton includes the assertion that during his regime there was a “ too prodigal use" of gasoline at the institution. During five month* o f last year, the Institution purchased 8,080 gallons o f gasoline. jfouth Sustains Fractuced Skull Fred Turnbull, 10, son o f Mr* and Mrs. Orlando Turnbull o f the Cedar- ville-Jamestown pike, who was struck by an automobile Tuesday night, re mains about the same, It is stated that the lad sustained a fracture o f the skull* The Turnbull child was attending services at the Jamestown Presbyter- ian Church Tuesday night.
