Board to hire special teacher. to help Indochinese students By Dave Sykes The ,Huron County Board of Education will hire an additional teacher to ac- celerate the integration of Indochinese students into the. school system.

John Cochrane, director of education, said the board faces a real problem with the students because they cannot speak or understand English. Before the students can be fully integrated into the education system, he said, they must be taught the language. The major problem is. with 22 secondary schooI. students, 20 of whom attend Central Huron Secondary School at Clinton. They are grouped into one class and spend most of the day with a remedial resource teacher, who as a result is unableto provide assistance to other students. Superintendent W. D.
