School Commissioners,

y meeting of the school commissioners
was held in the Office of Justice Scott on
Tuesday last to hear and decide the case
OF Miss Helen Mahoney, who claimed
the salary of the Warburton school No.
.. After several points of preliminary
business had been disposed of, the men,
bers of the board, Mr.. George Biddle
and Mr.. +. S. Everist, heard the case
of Miss Mahoney. From what the WING
reporter could CLEAN, it appears that
Miss Mahoney was appointed teacher of
school No. 8 for the fall and winter
term of 1884 and the spring term of
1855, That at the expiration of the
spring term Miss Mahoney was given
notice of dismissal, but this latter fact
she denies, and Miss Maggie McVey
Installed as teacher of the school in her
place. In speaking of the matter to
WING man Miss Mahoney said: 81 was
employed as teacher of the Warburton
school No. during the latter term of
1851 and the earlier term of 1885. l
never resigned my place, nor gave any
indication of my intention to resign, nor
was | officially Informed, as l should
have been, that another had been ap-
pointed in my place, and that l was ex.
pectcd to leave. 1t seems to me every
body has been pitted against me in this
matter, but for what reason l cannot
say. | am sure l have not demanded
more than my rights or more than l
think the law allows me. Now, however,
If the commissioners sustain me | will
resign, as | do not think they have
treated me kindly. This whole affair
has had tendency to reflect upon me
in bad way, and the action of the CON-
missioners and the patrons of school No.
have hindered me in my efforts at
welfare, for do not suppose they will
ever allow me another school in this
neighborhood." Miss Mahoney is quite
young woman, and from all appear
ances of the case has not been dealt
with quite so justly and honorably a.
would become men of dignity and trust.
At the meeting on Tuesday the council
for the commissioners, Mr.. John s.
Writ, stated that the law would not
sustain the claim of Miss Mahoney, and
the board duly confirmed Miss McVey
as the future teacher of the school, The
patrons of the school presented long
and tedious petition to the commits
sioners appealing for the confirmation
of Miss McFey, but from the fact that
it was malicious thrust at the deposed
Miss Mahoney it fell far short of any
noble purpose it may have had in view.
Miss McVey is extremely we'll liked by
the scholars and their parents of War
burton school.
