School Teachers Deller, Board Plan Study Of Umpqua Park Complaints By BOB CLARK News-Review Staff Writer A delegation of mothers from the Umpqua Park district voiced complaints against treatment of their children at Benson School during Wednesday night's regular Roseburg School Board meeting. The three mothers specifically requested that their children be designated as Fullerton School students.

They noted that children residing in the Umpqua Park area attended Fullerton School two years ago, Rose School last year and, finally, Benson during the current school year. School Supt. M. C. Deller explained that enrollment problems, first at Fullerton and then at Green School, forced a juggling of students.

In the latest move, Umpqua Park children were shifted to Benson to make room at Rose for students from the overloaded Green plant. Deller said he will look into the complaints by the trio, noting that it is the first time in his tenure as superintendent that such complaints have come notice. Directors seconded Deller's comment. Punishment Cited One mother said punishment of children for "seemingly minor offenses" often has been "severe" at Benson. Another member of the group said most at the school have "uncooperative attitudes." She alleged that at least one instructor has refused to allow students to take textbooks home for study and added that teachers at the school often "refuse to talk" when approached by mothers.

Deller indicated that enrollment distribution points to the logic of keeping the Park students at Benson. But he promised to report to the mothers on the outcome of his investigation of their complaints. In other action during the sion, the board moved to install a hydrant at Joseph Lane Junior High School to supplement the school's current fire-fighting water supply. The move came upon reccomendation from fire department authorities. Installation of the ture will both furnish the school with better fire protection and for itself" through reduced insurance premiums, noted directors.

Action Postponed The board postponed until a special meeting next Wednesday consideration of a request by the Roseburg YMCA for use of playgrounds all-purpose rooms at Riverside, Rose, Benson, Hucrest and Fullerton Schools during the summer months.
