Whereas, Experience has clearly demon.
strated that frequent changes and the annual

mind aud depress the spirits of teachers. and
very greatly to retard the progress of the
pupils; therefore, it is ordered that. in every
case wherein the trustees determine to remove
one teacher and employ another, they shall
give the teacher thirty days notice in writing
to vacate the school, otherwise the teacher is
legally entitled to remain in charge of the
school from year TO year. All trustees there.
lore who desire TO employ any other teacher
than the one last in charge, will not fail to
give to the latter the legal notice before the LIST
day OF August, as failure to give such notice
will leave the school in the legal possession of
the teacher last in service, unless by some act
OF his own, the school shall have been sur.
rendered or abandoned.
On the other hand, a teacher who shall
abandon his school without the formal legal
gnrrauhar mr. tba a.

thirty days notice of his intention, shall aban.
don the school, will not only be held respon
