RV J C. HANKER VILL. Raleigh, Sept. 23.—The “revolt" of parents in several sections of the Sjai® against that section of the new school law which prohibits the trans portation of children to school who live within two miles or less of the school they attend, is not going to'do ?any good, according to opinion here. Officials here sympathize with the parents And the children who live in side the two mile limit and • regret that they cannot do anything about it. For the 1933 General Assembly wrote this requirement into the law, to compel a reduction in the cost of transportation, with the result that the State School Commission has no choice but to .enforce the law and is utterly without authority to change it. The law cannot be changed until the 1935 General Assembly meets, and those who recall the debate in this past session with rgard to this par ticular section of the law doubt if the 1935 session will change it. Two Reasons Given. This “revolt” against the two-mile limit in the school law is not nearly as widespread as some would make it appear, however, according to what can be learned here, and >s confined largely to five or six counties. The counties in which the opposition to this portion of the law seems to be the greatest are Durham, Forsytn, (Davidson, Rutherford and Mecklen burg. The schools have not started wet in Guilford county, but much opposition is expected there when the , schools get under way. Most of the opposition in these and other coun- I ties to the two mile limit provision is traceable largely to two factors, however, as follows: 1. Partisan politics, with the Re publicans and other disgruntled po litical elements- using this particular - law to stir up resentment and anta -5 gonism against the present State ad ’ ministration. » 2 School officials who are not in sympathy with the new school law . and who are using the two mile limit j .for transportation as a means of st>r f ring up sentiment against the entire (Continued on Page Three.! the Rotogravure development edition,; which will no doubt prove very suc cessful to both the advertisers and the community as a whole. “In my opinion it is just as neces sary to advertise Henderson as it is our own business.
