Teacher and Pupil.

A paragraph has been "going the
rounds" of the papers TO the effect that
the State Superintendent of Common
Schools had "decided" that Teachers
had the power to suspend or expcl pu-
pills from school. Knowing that the
school law conferred no such power, and
that the so.called "decision" might
therefore lead TO mischief, we addressed
note to the proper authority inquiring
whether such decision had been made,
and If so upon what law it was based.
The Deputy Superintendent replies
"thcre is no statute law giving such au-
thority, but we believe that to exercise
il when necessary is in perfect accord
ance with the spirit of the law"
This latter conclusion we percmpto.
rily deny, and combat it because it is
only calculated to get Teachers into
trouble. Thepower to suspend or cXpcl
d child of q citizen from common
school established by laws supported
by public taxation, can only exist when
directly conferred by statute. The
statute confer5 the power upon par
ticular persons the School Di-
rectors " who have no authority to
delegate their power, and all others are
therefore excluded from its exercise as
completely as though the statute de
clared in express terms that no others
should exercise it-in other words, no
authority is given to any person or per-
sons to suspend or expels pupils from
the common schools excepting to the
School Directors, who may only act as
n board and must keep correct minute
of the proceedings, so that if wrong be
done it may be corrected and the wrong
docrs held responsible.
This is so palpably the correct view of
the case that we are surprised any other
should be held. 1t would be intolerable
that an irresponsible stranger should
possess the power to arbitrarily suspend
or cxpel our children from school. 1t is
also imposing upon the Teacher an on
erous duty not within his province
which is to teach, instruct-and is cal
culated to embroil him in difficulties
from which he should be entirely re-
lieved. The responsibility for exerci-
sing or not exercising this essential
power is properly fixed upon the Direc-
tors, who act for the people interested,
and for their benefit and by their au-
thority.
1t should be borne in mind that it is
not the province of the Superintendent
OF Common Schools to make laws and
his duty in reference to them is only to
explain them when applied to, and that
his "decisions" carry with them no au-
thority other than is comprehended
within the term adrice. 1t is well for
Teachers, therefore, not to attempt to
exercise authority that the law does not
confer upon them and which is not at all
necessary to enable them to discharge
their proper duties. Itmight also be as
well for the State Superintendent and
his deputy to confne themselves within
the range of authority conferred upon
them by law. They are creatures of the
act of Assembly and should have II
wholesome regard for their creator.
Least of all they should not give advice
that may lead others 20 trouble and lc-
gal punishment.
