He said Macon patrons jt were unwilling to try to opin erate eight grades with only a-i three teachers. I n After considerably discussion a- Monday night, the consensus of a the group was that the best injf terest of the school children ?r would best be served by consolidating District 6. Macon, jf and District 1, Warrenton. le j The consolidation has been s. approved by both the board of s- education, and the State Board y. of Education. s"| Under the merger Principal 15 j Haynes comes to John Graham r as a teacher and Mrs. Haynes | becomes principal of the j Macon school.

Peeler said yesterday in that the merger is expected to ce have no immediate effect on or that school's operation. ? The immediate advantage of I the merger for the two schools will be that it will make possible the elimination of two combination grades at thaJohn Graham High School 'and will, of course, eliminate that problem at the Macon school. Peeler, said. He said that another advanrii tage of consolidation of the .r. district was that it will make ie it possible for the board of jjr education to assign tbree teachers to Macon next year even m though attendance may not ,e warrant it. :n ie P?
