Court of Appeals dismisses Logan county school petition
The Court of Appeals ruled the school board's conclusions cannot be disturbed and dismissed the Benton township case brought by J Clarence Stone and the County Board of Education. It notes Stone and Miss Nellie Swackhammer attempted to teach without contracts on September 13 1924 and that Swackhammer abandoned her rights. The court states the choice was to continue with Stone or risk a closed school and that injunctive relief was not warranted unless equities demanded it. Public program highlights scouting talks and demonstrations at the fifteenth anniversary events with many speakers and an open Scouts Court of Honor session planned at the Presbyterian church.
