Full Text
A movement is on foot in Scranton to overturn the Board of School Control. The proceedings will be about the same as in the Pittston case, recently decided by Judge Bennett, in which the board as provided for under the third class city charter was ousted and the old school district board of six declared to be the rightful body. If Judge Bennett's decision is good law then the school boards in all the cities of the third class are illegal, and all must return to the boards as constituted before the third class city act took effect.
