petent administrative officer. 1t cost
$3.50 to fit up o!her additional rooms
for these teachers. BY this increase OF
teachers, with their salaries and board,
it cost the insti tuition about
$4,000 MORE A YEAR
than 1t had cost under the old manage
ment which 1 took to be extrava-
| ganee.
The new Principal, however, and
myself got in our duties without open
clashing or i'll feeling as far as l could
see until the election Of
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS.
In the choice of that offi,e. 1 as
member of the Readjuster County
Committee, supported Mr.. E. L Curtie
for the position, for which Mr.. D. S.
Roller a brother of the Principal, was
also a candidate. The recommend
ton OF The County Com mttee in favor
of Curtis was ridden dow by the ring
and Mr. Roller was appointed. After
that l felt that there was some change
in the Principals de pertinent towards
me. II broke out in war however,
after the election of Matron in June. l
was 10 favor OF rel nstating Mrs. Law
renee who had lost her place under the
Vaughn Board, and the Principal wish
ed to retain the lady who had been
elected as her succe ssor. 1t was a
square tight between US and beat him,
and since that there has been no peace
At the close of the last session, finding
that the lnaucial condition Of the in
stitution was straitened by extraya-
gance and bad management, the Prln-
cipal sought 10 shit the responsibility
on the Steward, instead of placing it
where it properly belonged. for the
Steward had been tied down by reso'
luton after resolution adopted by the
Board so that he has been unable to
properly manage the affairs of his own
department. Then the Steward in turn
at the Board meeting, October 18th
last. demanded an investigation Of the
affairs of the Instltatlon to show where
the responsibility should lie. 1t was
denied him, but instead the following
resolution was adopted and c0mmnni'
Gated 10 bin :
At meeting Of the Board Of Visi
tors held Oct. 18th, 1888, the following
resolution was adopted:
RESOLVED, that it is the understands
inr of the Board that under the by
laws The Principal Of this Institution
is the recognized head Of all its depart
ments. That the Board shall hold bin
alone responsible for the admlnlstra
lions OF its affairs, and that all officer
6 and teachers are subordinate 10 hi
authority.
J. YcsT, Secretary.
