patents assembled at Robertson Memorial.
Sehool Monday evening were hep,, ern the'

WCI had cautioned those who., .attended
the meeting to consider how ,the best
interests of the students could be served
rather than how economically theschools
in Huron County could be operated;' it

parents were not • concerned that
