The Frmmdin Press end The Highlends Mwoniu ? I fAGK TWELVE No. 3 In favor of the motion. Mr. Sor rells and Mr. Smith abstained, the former as chairman, the latter because he was absent from a portion of the meeting in question. Asks Reprimand Mr. Shatley immediately fol lowed up this motion with an other ? one calling for a repri mand of Supt. McSwain. The motion: "I make a motion that this board severely reprimand Mr. Holland G. McSwain, county ?uperintendent of Macon Coun ty schools, for insubordination in office." Supt. McSwain demanded an elaboration of the charge, but Mr. Shatley declined with, "my motion stands by Itself." At this point, Chairman Sor rells interrupted to declare "It has been the feeling of the board this year . . . that the board hasn't had the right spirit of cooperation from the superintendent." Supt. McSwaln may have been entirely honest in his actions, the chairman de clared, but "he hasn't carried out the orders (of the board)." "Cite one instance," the su perintendent requested. "Not now," the chairman answered. Moments later, however, he told the superintendent, "you ran outside . . . took some of your troubles to the public." Mr. Shatley again offered his SED GRRS 1953 Ford Tudor Clean. One owner. 1953 Ford Convertible Extra clean.

Mr. Cabe made the Issue more specific by declaring, ". . . you didn't carry out the wishes of the board in Mr. Corbln carry ing out duties as elementary principal." "You went directly In oppo sition to orders of this board," Mr. Shatley told the superin tendent. Supt. McSwaln answered: "If I made a mistake, It was only a mistake of Interpretation and was unintentional . . . purely a misunderstanding of the ac- J tion ... the use of 'primarily' ! in Mr. Corbin's assignment does not say he is to be re stricted . . "Just admit your guilt like the board has and the issue will be over," Mr. Sorrells sug gested. Mr. Smith pointed out that Mr. Shatley had made the question clear: "Why weren't the orders carried out?" Mr. Smith said the superintendent had tried to explain what the state did in the matter of cer tifying the principal, but had not made it very clear why the board had not been informed. Supt. McSwaln repeated his "misinterpretation" stand. And ffcr the third time, Mr. Shatley's reprimand motion failed to get a second. Committeemen Present Present at the meeting were district committeemen Edwin Bradley, E. M. Teague, Owen Ammons, and Eugene Crawford. They did not enter into the discussion other than to clarify some matters pertaining to the committee's July recommenda tions that Mr. Corbln be named district principal No. 2. How ever, at that time, the school board Ignored the recommenda tion and assigned him to the elementary school with the understanding that he assist the high school principal.
