force this plan on the school
children.
"We are seeking to provide
uniformly and more adequately
for the educational needs of the
children In addition to what the
state furnishes free, and to Im
prove instruction and educational
opportunities in our schools on a
cooperative and democratic basis.
We do not request fees of anyone
who is unable to pay, but we do
require of those unable to pay, a
certificate from the welfare de
partment verifying their inability
to pay. There is nothing coercive
nor complicated concerning this
undertaking. However, we are
determined to make It a success.
It has proved to be a wonderful
advantage to us in the past and
we deeply appreciate the splen
did cooperation we have receiv
ed," Mr. Comer stated.
