Cos ? -rne Murphy committee on Edu cation-appointed by the Murphy School Board to study integration Monday night heard it is physically 1 impossible to take students from Texana and Tomotla into the Mur phy School unit at this time. H. Bueck, superintendent of the Murphy unit, told the committee that integration was impossible at present because of the lack of space in the city unit. The committee set up for imme diate study the fact that Negro high school students at Texana are unable to graduate with state di plomas because the school does | not have at least four teachers. I The state requires that a school must have at least four teachers I before a state diploma can be is sued to graduating students. ' L. W. Hendrix, county school sup erintendent, pointed out that some | white students in the county are faced with the same problem. | Both the white and the Negro students are forced to go to other schools to get diplomas that will allow them to enter college, Mr. Hendrix said. The committee on Education made plans to investigate the pos sibility of giving financial help to those students who must leave the county to get a state diploma. The committee also voted to sup port Governor Hodge's recently stated efforts to preserve the state's public school system. i In a report to the committee, Mr. Bueek gave the following overall picture of Texana, Tomotla and Murphy : ,j Number of students: Murphy. I 1,510; Tomotla, 68; and Texana, t 107; Classrooms; Murphy 45, To [ motla, four, but two are being . used as storage rooms; Texana, four. . Cost of education of each stu . dent per year; Murphy, $107; To motla, $107; and Texana, $120. Mr. Bueck pointed out that the smaller the number of students in a school the higher the amount [ of money per student is spent, t He said the rate at Tomotla is , actually more than $107 but he had r approximated that figure for his report. The cost included teachers' sal aries, Janitor service, fuel, in structional supplies, maintenance and operations of the buildings. The next meeting of the commit tee will be held tn the Citizens Bank building Monday, Sept. IB, Frank Forsyth. chairman of the committee said. Meth. Youth Meet
