VOLUMN 3 Showdown Seen On School Bill •In Legislature RALEIGH UP) A show-1| down shaped up in the legis-1 lature today on a dispute o- j ver school consolidation I while in a softer vein legis-1 lators considered how to i make the state’s school chil- j dren more music conscious. A bill introdced last week by Rep. J. A. Speight of Bertie County was scheduled for consideration by the House Education Committee- At least one member hinted of a possible public hearing on the little local bill following protests by State Education Department of ficials that it might wreck the state’s school consolidation pro gram. Speight’s bill is aimed at re opening two small Bertie County ' -.high schools last year by a con ■ solidation. Speight said he would support other counties who want to protect their smaller schools from being wiped, out. Rep. Tom Allen of Granville County meanwhile announced he plans to introduce another bill on consolidation—one to require the State Board of Education to make a detailed survey of population and growth in a community before clos ing a school in a consolidation - move. w* FORBIDS CLOSING Speight's bill would forbid closing a school with an enrollment of 60. * or more pupils, or in a case where 10 per cent of the pupils would have ‘to ride 15 miles or more a day. Allen’s bill would allow the school to be closed if the survey showed the population would not support “68 or 70 pupils” at the next term. Meanwhile state officials warned that a music bill introduced in the House may bring into question the • historic separation of church and state. The bill introduced by Reps. C. G. Maddrey of Hertford and A. C. Ed wards of Greene proposed hiring six music supervisors to develop a program cf music education in schools, churches and other com munity organizations.
