LEATHER SOLES, SAME LOW SHOES OR OXFORDS BOARD VOTES TO REMOVE CERTAIN BOOKS FOLLOWING MUCH CRITICISM Mt. Morris, 111., March statement has been released by the local grade school board of education that the widely criticized social science course which is being used in the local junor high school will be replaced by another course of study for the 1941-'42 school term. Tills conies as a result of thorough Investigation on the part of the board, along with representatives from the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Parent- Teachers' association.

On this committee were Charles Edson and Frank Hilger of the American Legion; Lynn Elliott and R. F. Nye, Veterans of Foreign Wars; Mrs. Hugh Allen and Francis Asp, the Parent-Teacher association, and Axel Johnston and Harold Ross of the board of education. This group has been studying through the lour books under discussion since October and met last week to come to a decision as to what they should recommend to the school board.

At that time it was the opinion of the majority of the committeemen that the course should be changed, but they did not recommend the new course which should replace it. Following this recommendation, the board of education has passed a resolution that the course of study will be changed. It is believed that this will do away with the influence now in the minds of the teachers and students which has been raised because of the controversy that these books now in use are unpatriotic and not best for the school students to be studying. Investigation is now underway for the course which will be used in its stead.
