PAGC t:
It helps us live more in accord
with bis demands. While the Old
Testament iraiakes it abundantly
clear that God disciplines people
for their, own good, ' the New
Testament ' seeks to encourge ob
edience on the basis of gratitude
to God rather than fear of
punishment as preached by the
Old Testament prophets. Both
however, are unanimous in their
view on the necessity of such dis
cipline. ry'.

and paint an unpleasant picture
of our community."
Statements Made
In calling the meeting to order,
Anderson introduced h board
members, each of whom made a
formal statement of his ipoaition,
B. K. Meadows, wiho due to a heart

to any appointment by the Mars
Hill School lOommittee.
Zeno Ponder told the meeting
that the Board of Education in
Raleigh bad made its position
clear and that the law had been
complied with. Ponder, who stood
on his feet during1 moat of the
meeting:, was asked by the teach
ers, it he and the board members
would use their influence to have
Neill reconsidered. ,
Ponder Stated - that there was
nothing be could do, but if the
Mars Hill School Committee re
commended Neill he would be
nappy to "second the motion." He
stated that he wasn't tgoing ito in
terfere with the committee, and
that he was going to stay out of
the Mars Hill controversy.
Anderson told the faculty that
the committee had informed the
board that Neill definitely would
not be rehired.
Clarification
One teacher asked Ponder to
clarify bis position in regard to
Neill. Ponder replied that he was
responsible for Neill being hired
that five years ago he "cnamm-
ed Neill dowin their throats." He
said that be liked Neill and that
they had gotten along fine.
Several of the teachers asked
the board members if they could
give a reason for Neill's dismissall.
Ponder said hat he didn't know
the reason and that Che Mars Hill
School Committee "was not com
pelled to give any reason amy
more than a juror."
"I have heard some of their rea
sons and they are trivial, but they
have oast their vote and they nave
complied with the law," said Pon

Ponder if he had ever heard ox
made the statement that it was
tlie board's intention to make Mar
shall "the best school" in the
county.
In denying this, Ponder claim
ed that he had supported1 taking
$60,000 of money intended by the
state for Marshall school tand us
ing it to build the Mars Hill
School building.
Took Offense
Also, Anderson stated hat
teachers had apparently taken of
fense at a memorandaim the board1
had sent them tasking each teach
er to be responsible for his stu
dents daring school hours. And
erson tcM the faculty that Dr.
Carroll, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, thad expressed
his regret that the students hadi
staged a demonstration and that
the memorandum was sent with
the intention of preventing fur
ther demonstrations. "It wias not,"
he said, "intended to imply that
the teachers had instigated1 the
demonstration, and .if it was inter
preted that way, I apologize." -
In speaking of the subsequent
actions by the committee of oitif
zens, Ponder said, "some .people
(have, with ulterior motives1, with
politwad ambitions, seized upon
(Ralph Neill's popularity to further
themselves." j . - -.,
'-v v Questions Asked
:: Most of the teachers confined
their remarks to questions. - AH
, that spoke emphasized that the
'whole problem could' be solved if
J Neill were rehired, . One of them,
identified as Bill Bennett, said,
I love Mara Hill. I was born and
raised here and went to School
here, but (the man who stands for
everything I do has been railroad.
ed out of a job. If he goes, I go."
Several of the teachers were of
the opinion that there would be
several fired regardless of who
was prinioipal. All members of
the board denied that ifney felt
that way ind each expressed hope
that they would all remain.
Anderson asked Edwards to
read the statement for the second
time and granted the teachers
time to talk among themselves.
However, Edwards after finish
ing the statement, said, "If you
stay you will work under the
greatest handicaps imaginable.
You don't think any more of Mars
Hill High School than I." He then
left the loom.
The 'teachers rose and gathered
in small groups and eventually
left the building. The meeting was
never formally adjourned and no
signature was on the statement
when the board members left.

DISCIPLINE
IN THE HOME
Memory Selection: "Train up

when he is old he. will not depart
from it." - :'
(Proverbs 22:6.)
Lesson Text: Proverbs i: 1-i;
10-1; 13 :U; 20:11-, 22:8 ; 29:17;
Ephesians 6:l-i.
The purpose of our study to-
day is to help adults use discipline
m the home more wisely.
Turning to the Scriptures for
our perusal, we are introduced to
the matter of discipline An the
home. ( ,
Discipline is one of the accepted
principles of -life. Even thoulgh

to all that we are and do; it keeps
US': within 'the set boundaries of
our existence.
1 Discipline is quite obvious in
the!- natural world. (Banks make a
river possible, amd harness its
powers. The roads we tnavel are
bounded by ditches and are care
fully marked down the center to
guide the motorist. How difficult
it would be to travel without these
guides what chaos would re
sult if roads were a half-mile
wide and if there were no mark
ed lanes or ditches! A life must
have the same sort of discipline
If at goes in tail directions, it
loses its power and purpose.
The "Christian believes that the
boundaries of man's life were set
by God and are clearly revealed
in the 'Bible, which is the story of
OoArp revelation of . himbelf to
men. The Bible snows us what
iGod and his world are like; thus
Discipline in the home begins
with parents who precede the
children and teach them by word
and example. If parents have
not placed wise restraints upon
themselves, they will probably
have none with which to guide
their children. The Hebrew fa

ages, instructed and restrained1
his own son. His life was a beauti
ful example of faithfulness to
discipline.
The Christian parent is disci
plined "in Christ." If his own
personal life is filled with the rich
satisfaction of Christlike living,
he will discipline his child in this
spirit. If we insist on the dis
cipline of Christlike ways for our
offspring, we must live according
to the rules ourselves. The ab
sence of this tenet may account
for the rebellion of many children
against their parents.

enormous. A home wath rao
parental discipline is likely to be
a hodgepodge of conflicting Inter
