Clash over geography text sparks board of education row
At a regular meeting of Atlanta's board of education Alderman Jesse Armistead pressed for Tarr and McMurray geography arguing a five year limit was violated by prior approval of Frye geography. Superintendent Willam Slaton outlined reasons for Frye selection, while debates grew heated between Armistead and Major Guinn. The session also covered new teachers, boundary redistricting in West End, and bids for school supplies amid a push for meetings on woman suffrage.
