<br />Paul Lodwick, ''Ield County school superintendent, was elected president for
<br />the coming year of the Colorado County Superintend~nts Association at their annual
<br />meeting. Elected as vice president was Ursa Nora Scott of Gilpin county, while
<br />i{,rs. June Sweeney of ibffat county was named secretary and Polito Martinez of
<br />Costilla county, treas~rer.
<br />Addressing the gr~up during their convention was Cecil Shuffield of Nashville,
<br />Arkansas, president of the rlational Association of County and rlural Area School
<br />SuperintEndents, who p')inted out that may of the services available to school
<br />children in urban areas _ such as audio-visual aids to education, health services,
<br />special training for nanc,icapped children -- can be available to rural area
<br />school children throli'5'l '~ooperation among groups at the local level.
<br />He said that a national trend toward providing these services at the county
<br />level, or by counties in conjunction with each other, is apparent. The money
<br />is available if county, town and rural school districts plan "co_operative" bud-
<br />gets in whioh each unit bears a share of the total cost, he said.
<br />Rural children are entitled to these advantages. "But in so many cases they
<br />don't get them".
