No one in Camden-Frontier has complained. State Board Unfair liemmon said the state board had shown its partisanship in asking the school to end its program before an observer came from I.ansing. Tlie state board last year asked Camden-Frontier, Pittsford and North Adams-Jerome Schools to end their programs after observing one at Waldron.

The state board is actually going to pay attention to the special situation instead of just rushing this through. Dove said the Camden-Frontier board thanked Henry for his truthfulness in admitting that the state board might have made a mistake in its procedural handling of the Rural Bible Mission. He said he hoped the remaining board members would show the same high standards as Henry and look objectively at the case.
