The Shoreham case reached the Supreme Court on a petition of 14 citizens asking that tha school board be compelled to continue the high school of that town.

Tha petitioneri claimed that the school director decision to close the school in face of a citizens vote to tha contrary violated their legal duty and went beyond their legal and constitutional powers. Hulburd said that in many ways this claim does not present a new problem in the educational history of Vermont He cited several similar cases, some dating back to 1845, The court cited an opinion writ-ten more than 50 year ago by former Chief Justice George M. Powers. Thu opinion said that the Legislature has not entrusted the destiny of the public school aystem to the "uncertain disposal of the fierce democracies of the districts themselves, but has clothed officials with ample authority to keep schools In motion In any event. Throughout the history of education in Vermont.

Hulburd said, the Legislature ha continually strengthened the hand of local directors. He held that thl followed a general nation-wida trend. reviewing our education history and surveying our present position," the court decision said, it is apparent that the fierce democracie of the district has now become the fierce democracy the towns. Both ire Inspired by the same fear that of outside control," the decision continued. "Already, at the mention of fed eral aid Hulburd wrote, "the fierce democracy of the states Is beginning to emerge.

The reaction Is ever the same; only the point of view change. That -which was treated as a sort of provincialism in the districts will be 'trying to justify itself as something else on the state level." Hie Shoreham citlzeni group had based thyir cut primarily on a statute relating to the payment of tuition. This says, In part that each town district must maintain a high school or furnish higher instruc tion elsewhere "at a high School or academy to be selected by the parents or guardian of the pupil. The citizens group, represented in court by Municipal Judge Franklin S. Billings Jr.

of Woodstock, claim ed that the school board is compelled by that provision to furnish education as decided by the parents. Hulburd said such an interpretation is a gross distortion of the plain intention of the' Legislature." The justica said the board clearly has two options, to maintain a high school within the town or furnish higher education elsewhere. The parents and guardians have a choice." he ruled, "but that choice is not whether a town shall maintain a high school but rather where the pupils shall go in event I the school directors decide against attempting to have a high school" ALBERT W.
