Description
Two letters dated July 1926 between Superintendent Emerick and Harris Hart, Superintendent of Public Instruction regarding the location of the Lincoln-Purcellville High School. The issue was brought before the circuit court, which ruled that the school trustee electoral board had jurisdiction. The first letter is addressed to Superintendent Harris Hart dated July 1, 1926 from Superintendent Emerick. (missing second page.) The School Board Trustee electoral Board decided to hear the case on July 9th. The board passed a resolution requesting a committee of 3 make careful study of the matter and make recommendations regarding the school's location. It was advised this committee would have experts whose expenses were already budgeted to cover their expenses. The second letter (O.T Emerick to Harris Hart) The committee of three was made up of Mr. Combs, Mr. Smithey and Mr. Hoke. However, a memorandum report by this committee suggested the dispute was local between these two communities. This lead the Department of Education to decline involvement.
