January ?8, 1936. -
Glo, Kentucky.
Be It Known:

That Jenn E. Jenkins,Principal, of the G10 Grade School
never did call a political meeting in the school before or after
tne November Election.

Trustee, J. S. Hampton did call a political meeting
of the teachers in Tne Glo Erade School at noon hour a few days
before the November election.

The following words or words to that effect are stated
here: MP HAMPTON: ~

We, as you teacners know are about to enter a school
election and Tram interested in Mr. Guy Gniloers and Mr. Bailey
who if elected will give me a new school room here next year. I
know that Mr. Hall will help these two men carry out their promise
to me, when he becomes our county superintendent.

You have a right to support who ever you want to: it
will have no effect upon you getting your job here next year. How
ever this election is costing me time and money and if you can't
be on my side I would apyriciate your being ouite and not taking
sides or an active part againts me. As you all know if your side
wins it very nice: If your side looses you ofcourse relize the
position you place your~self in.

MR. JENKIFS.PEIWCIRAL

Mr. Hampton, and teachers; I am of the opinion that the
adminstration should be supported by every teacher in the county.

 II?

This admirstration has built up tbe'systemj and constructed better
housing buildings for the cnildren. The system functions as a
business system, and as I understand that is within itself a great
improvement in this county. We should not be influnced by personal
gain to be ac uireu, but we should'support tnose that have built

a record within their field of work. I as one beleive the admins—
tration has done this very thing. Each teacner should express
their selves about this matter, because as I see it Mr. Hampton
you calleo this teachers meeting to find out just how we teachers
stood on this matter.

HES. ORB WAYS:

I will gladly extress my self; I am with Mr. Hampton

. because he gave me a job here. Ballard Hunter is one man that
I know there is not much to: Fe keep me from getting a job last
year at Maytown, and for that reason my people and all of my
husbands people are againts him. It is a personal matter With me.
Even this year he would not give my brother, Raymond, a job, that
is the reasons that I think we should nave Mr. Hall as our Superin—
tendent. I know that Mr. Hunter will not win this election, and
I beleive it would be wise for teachers to support a man who is
going to win, as it the future it hill go againts nim, or her
in securing a position in tne county next year.

MISS SSYTON:

I feel just like my sister Mrs. Rays, and I know that I
coulo not go agairts the man that has given me my job. I can not
unéerstano how any of you teachers could go againts Mr. Hampton
the man that gave us our jobs here in Glo.

 # 3
. MISS REYNoLDS

I am incline to decide with Mr. Jenkins, as I know that
the schools are conducteo for the benifit of the children not for
the teachers and job seekers. I beleive that the adminstration
has built up our school system nere in Floyd County, theregore if
I am to follow my own mind I will support the adminstration.

Mr. Delton Surgill was present but made no talk or expressed
his self on the subject.

Mr. J. S. Hampton made the following statements or words
to that effect as he nurrly left the room with an angry look and
a re& face.

MR . HAMPTON :

John,( speaking to Mr. Jenkins), you have the right to 5
support who ever you choose, but I ean't understand why you of all
people would go againts me. But if you think that you are right —
it's alright with me, but remember it's nice if you Win ano it's
hard on you if you loose.

Thus the only political meeting of the G10 Grade School
broke up and there never was another one to—date. This meeting
was called by Trustee J. S. Hampton who is the Superintendent of
the Coal Company at Glo; This meeting took place in Mrs. Hays
home room at noon hour some few days before the school election of
November.

 January 28,1956
Glo, Kentucky.
Be It Known:
That John S. aampton did give the miners of
Glo the general understanding that if they failed to vote for
his men in the school election that they would suffer in the future.
To date he has found reason to fire five such miners who have
been watched and double checked by his men. Ofcourse all of these
miners were fired and according to contract. But he is only
following his statement " I'll find something to fire all that
are againts me in this election". If you cneck any man you can
find a right to discharge him. It looks like J. S. Hampton is
keeping his word and his idea seems to be working out as he stated
it would.

J. S. Hampton did take part in said school
election, and he made public that he was supporting Childers and
Bailey because they had promised him a new school room.

Some men who represented J. S. Hampton at the
G10 Polls on election day did give Principal John E. Jenkins to
understand that Mr. Hampton would not reccomend him iixhsx for
a position next year if he remained near the polls and continued ’
to hand out election cares for Cooley and Branhamn. Mr. Jenkins
did remain, and by doing so Miss Sexton who had extressed her desire
to vote, failed to call for a ballot, kno ing that Mr. Jenkins
would question her on the grounds that she did not live in the
percinct.

 Trustee J. S. Hampton, has always influenced the teachers
to not cooperate with the principal. He beleives by doing this
he is knocking the adminstration which he hopes will effect
Superintendent Hunter in the many charges brought againts him.
Mr. Hampton has from time to time showed that he would have but
one way his way in the aaminstration of the school in 610. His
education as he brags is only an eight grade level: This however
does not keep him from knowing more than teachers who are trained
in the vocatation. He cares not What the law is, is only law
regarding tne Glo Grade School is John S. Ham}tons law. I have

Principal Jenkins, has from time to time explained why
this or that must be carrieo out, but always Mr. Hampton gives
Miss Sexton ann Mrs Hays to unaerstand that they can do as they
please. Principal Jenkins in his report to the superintendent
oi; explain why the shhool is being underminded and the system
not according to the school law of This Common Wealth Of Kentucky.

Mrs. Hays never is on time in the morning at Eight thirty.
Her excuse is the buss is late. She always turns school out at
Two fifteene, which cuts her time fifteene minutes less than the
six hours required by law.

Principal Jenkins is at a loss to secure What he knows
he should from his faculaty. This is due to the interference of
trustee J . S . Hampton who beleives himself to be a dictator.

 January 98,1956

. G10, Kentucky.
Be It Known: ,

Sometime after,fhe Bolitical feacners Meeting,called
by Trustee J. S. Hampton, Miss Sexton enters; Mr. Jenkins room
during school hours and ask for permission to make an announcement.
Mr. Jenkins thinkin5 Miss Sexton's announcement would deal with
the P.T.A. activities gave her his permission to make said announ-
cement.

MISS SEXTON AHHUUHCEMENT:

This evening here in the school rooms,(our chapel in
the Glo G rade School), Mr. Hall a gentleman Who is interested in
the school election will make an address to the parents of the
Glc Grade School students. You be sure to tell your mother and
father that if they want a good school in file to be sure and
come out this evening and hear the message Mr. Hall has for them.
Tell them if they want the facts about the school election come
out and hear what Mr. Hall ha 5 to say. If they are interested
in having a new room next year, to be sure and come to this
meeting.

Mr. Jenkins followed Miss Sexton out into the hall out
of ear of his class and told her in plain English that she had
over stepped her bounds in making political speeches to the
students during books, under the disguise of an announcement.
Miss Sexton gave Mr. Jenkins to understand that she would do as
she pleased in—as—much as the Trustee, J.S. Hampton had suggested

- Glo, Kentucky.
Be It Known: ,

Sometime after,fhe political Teacners Meeting,called
by Trustee J. S. Hampton, Miss Sexton entered Mr. Jenkins room
during school hours and ask for permission to make an announcement.
Mr. Jenkins thinking Miss Sexton's announcement would deal with
the P.T.A. activities gave her his permission to make said announ—
cement.

MISS SEXTON ANNOUNCEMENT:

This evening here in the school rooms,(our chapel in
the 810 G rade School), Mr. Hall a gentleman Who is interested in
the school election will make an address to the parents of the
610 Grade School students. You be sure to tell your mother and
father that if they want a good school in 610 to be sure and
come out this evening and hear the message Mr. Hall has for them.
Tell them if they want the facts about the school election come
out and hear what Mr. Hall ha 5 to say. If they are interested
in having a new room next year, to be sure and come to this
meeting.

Mr. Jenkins followed Miss Sexton out into the hell out

of ear of his class and told her in plain English that she had

over stepped her bounds in making political speeches to the

students during books, under the disguise of an announcement.

Miss Sexton gave Mr. Jenkins to understand that she would do as

she pleased in-as—much as the Trustee, J.S. Hampton had suggested
I
I

she do as sne had done. Mr. Jenkins went to great length to
explain that no teacher regardless of their feelings should

use the school nours defined for study for the use of political
gain. He also made her admit that she was the only teacher in
the 610 System that had acted as such.

Sometime later Mr. Jenkins was called upon by a parent
of the community, and ask why he permitted Miss Sexton to send his
son out of school before school was out, and instruct him to tekk
up political posters wnich represented Guy Cnilders and Bailey.

Mr. Jenkins assured the parent that it was beyond his
knowledge, and went straight to Miss Sexton and warned her again
of her missconduct. She only said that she had a right to represent
ler own side, and toat it was under the permission of Trustee J. S.
Hampton.

Miss Serton did not follow the advice and iistructions
or Princiyal John E. Jenkins and continued to lexure her students
with tne hope they would advice their parents to follow her leader—
ship and support G uy Childers and Mr. Bailey.

Be It Known that this practice was beyond the Principals
control and that the Trustee would not support the Principal in
carrying out the rules of no political movements among the students
or parents during the time the county was paying the said teachers
to teach education, not spread political issues.

During this time Miss Sexton was behind on her monthly report
and soppted sending to Mr. Jenkins room her list of daily absences.
Mrs. Hays also discontinued to send her list of daily absences.

 # 5

The teachers of the Glo Grade School at the beginning of school
were instructed by Principal John E. Jenkins to send to him daily
their report of absences. Mr. Jenkins did investigate absences
that he considered unaccountable, and where he found unecessary
absences he reported same to the Prestonsburg office.

Miss Sexton under the advice of Trustee J.S. Hampton,
and her sister Mrs. Orb Hays did pass out political literature,
make political talks in all five rooms, and excuse early some
of her students so they could go out and tack up political cards
which were in—behalf of Mr. Childers and Mr. Bailey.

It is generally known that Miss Sexton and Mrs. Hays
have failleo to follow the leadership of Principal Jenkins, and
that the reason they do as they choose is due to the influence
that J. S. Hampton has over the school. This matter has been
reported to the County Superintendent, Ballard Hunter.

At the beginning of school Principal John E. Jenkins
did instruct all teachers about their teaching hours ind the
schedule given them required all teachers to remain in school
the minmun time set by the school law-—— six hours. MES. Hays
with permission of J.S. Hampton did cut her time down and started
dismissing school earlyer than the schedule given her by Mr.
Jenkins. This sne claimed was necessary because she had to catch
a buss to get home each evening. Mts. Hays admitted to Mr. Jenkins
that she did not follow the schedule given her by Prin. John E.
Jenkins. Miss Sexton also admitted that she did not follow a
schedule. Both being instructed to follow schedules and act
according to the principals schedules given them.
