MOTION BY DEFENDANTS TO STRIKE PARAGRAPH 10 

OF COMPLAINT 

Defendants move the court that an order be entered herein 

requiring plaintiffs to strike from their complaint paragraph 

10 thereof, which reads as follows: 

"Pupils attending white schools are provided 

a superior education by the defendants than is 

offered to children attending Negro schools: 

“{a) The scholastic program offered in the 

Negro schools is distinctly inferior to that pro- 

vided in the white schools. 

"(b) White teachers are more highly trained 

than Negro teachers. 

"(c) White teachers are more highly paid than 

Negro teachers. 

“(d) More white teachers are provided per 

white child in attendance than per Negro child in 

attendance in the defendants' schools. 



"(e) More money is spent for instruction 

of white children than Negro children.” 

because the allegations therein are immaterial and impertinent. 

Dated June 10 , 1964.
