Officials Faulted in Delayed Examinations
Nine grammar school pupils in Umatilla County could not take the eighth grade exams due to delays in ordering questions, caused by officials failing to act within the law. County Superintendent F. K. Welles investigated and found fault with district officials, not the students. Some pupils may advance to high school temporarily, with others to repeat grammar grades if they fail. In Athena the issue mirrored the blockade but questions were delivered personally. Zotn Ferris and Etta Darnell were advanced to high school.
