Teachers Meeting!

On Saturday last at P NJ. number of teachers
sembled at the jackson Club Rooms to discuss the
propriety of eecting organization to be known
TEACHERS LAW AND ORDER FRATERNITY.
The organization was effected by electing Mr..
Frank White President, and S. d. Mclaughlin Sec
retary. The purpose of this organic body is to have
vindicated POSSIBLE in this county, the Ohio Law
that pertains especially to the eligibility of county
examiners.
A petition to the Probate Judge was presented by
some forty jackson county teachers praying for the
removal in some way of the aggrievance, which con-
sisted the petition alleged, in the perpetuation in
Office of Jackson county examiner who occupies the
position of proprietor and principal of school with
in the limits of the county that to
and does prepare, young men and women for teach
Ing committee consisting of the President, Geo. E.
Jones and j. W. johnson appointed to draft
lutions, defining the object of the organization and
its desires, well to make suggestions that
together with the petition will be presented to the
Probate Judge for his most earnest consideration In
the appointment, soon to be made, of the new exam
iner. Speeches were made by quite number present
referring to instances of the same kind in different
parts of the State in many which the examiner had
been forced to resign his office quit his school;
fact in all cases where the teachers well the peo
pie were determined, the aggrieveance had been
moved. 1t was spiritedy and most emphatically de-
MED ALSO that the persons engaged in this enterprise
were actuated by personal emnity or individual ag
grandizement, or otherwise, but that they were
prompted only by sense ofjustce and equality, with
special and paramount priUiLsges to 1t
agreed that the enterprise should be in
the best of feeling with hatred for and charity
for all; but with determination, that if met by fail
ure one line; another would be followed until
ultfmatum should be reached. For the school,
school, simply there is word of derogation but the
rather, words of the highest commendation and
praise, when conducted and manipulated by man,
who in all things is law abiding.
Reference was had to the statement, made by some
friends of the school, that the Jackson Academy does
not within the classes of schools mentioned by
the statute. But what its effects? Can it be de-
MED that teachers are here prepared for examination
Are they not found teaching in the county? The
signifies little. What does the school do? Is the
vital question flour statutes evaded by the
mere technicality of names, then murder even may
be committed under the garb ofvirtue and with the
high sanction of religion and with statute parch
ments might kindle fire that would annhilate
them forever. 1t clearly evidenced that there is
wide spread feeling of opposition to the present
state of things, not by teachers only, but from the
parents and the people in the different localities in
the county. The position of the examiner points
With direct force these dissatisactioHs. On
adjourned to meet at the call of the President.
