For awhile we heard SO many arguments

were down on the geese. And now look at

enforcement of the laws is too spasmodic
The School Board, on Tuesday evening
decided to open our schools next Monday
morning. The vacancy in room number 2
Gravel Hill, made by the resignation of Miss
Stout was filled by the appointment of Miss
Anna Faris- Miss Faris' place in room num-
Der one of the Fourth ward was filed by Miss
Maggie Morrison, There were 4 number of
applicants for the vacancy. The question of
changing text books of arithmetic from Rays
to Olney's was settled by leaving Rays in
still. The Board also had up the question of
paying the teachers for the lost time of this
month, and the matter was referred to a COM
mittee consisting of Messrs- Nelson, Morgan
and McGraw. The Superintendent and the
High School teacher both draw the same pay
whether the schools are opened or closed, and
the State Superintendent gives as his opinion
of the case that all the teachers can collect
their salaries by law. But aside from the
legal view of the question, there is plain JUS
tice in giving the teachers pay for the time,
as they are kept from engaging in any other
employment by the nature of their engage
ment.
