and the Board Reinstates Him.
| Yesterday NJ R. Beard, City Superln-
tendent, suspended Professor Anderson,
! Principal of the High School, on the ground
of " unprofessional conduct and lnsubor-
dination." When the suspension was
spoken of on the street yesterday the Su-
perintendent stated that Mr.. Anderson
allowed teacher to absent himself from
the CITY. and appointed in his place one
who has no authority from the Board OF
Education to teach in the city, and In the
| face of the fact that the Superintendent mad
| told him he should not.
| A special meeting of the Board OF Edu-
cation was held last evening to consider
| the matter. Mr.. Anderson was present, as
was also a RECoRD-UNIoN reporter. Inc
| latter was forced to retire by the Board
going into executive session. The reporter
retired, but later in the evening called at
the office and obtained from the official
| records the following facts concerning the
meeting:
Director Davis, the public record shows,
presided. He asked what was before the
meeting, when City Superintendent Beard
arose and read the following;
ITO the Board of Education, Sacramento,
Cdl.-GENTLEMEN: On Thursday, October
28th, W. w. Anderson, Principal OF the
High School, made application for one
days leave OF absence for his assistant, Mr..
Pond, saying that he would put his daugh-
ter in the place told him that Mr.. Pond
could go, but that / would have to put one
of the substitutes in his place. He then
said that none of the substitutes were COM
petent to teach in the High School, and
that he would not let Mr.. Pond go. 1ester-
day learned that he did let Mr. Pond go,
and that he put his daughter in his place.
Rule 40 of the school laws is as follows:
Teachers unable to attend their schools
must report such inability to the Superin-
tendent one hour before the time of open
ing school,
that Mr. Anderson told him to report 10
Mr.. Slater For this willful violation of the
laws governing the public schools, and
such unprofessional conduct, | suspended
Mr.. Anderson, after he admitted that he
had done wrong.
when called upon him to notify him
of his suspension, he said he cared nothing
for his suspension, and that he would
have the Board reinstate him, so that he
would not lose any of his pay
his daughter, who is neither a teacher nor
a substitute, in charge of class, any other
teacher has the same right, and if this was
allowed, it would be highly detrimental to
our schools. l deemed it my duty to act
as 1 have, that the integrity of the schools
may be sustained. Very respectfully,
NJ. r. BEARD, Superintendent"
Director Todd introduced the following
resolution, which was seconded by Director
Slater:
ResOlUed That the suspension to-day of W. W.
Anderson, Principal of the High School, by NJ.
r. Beard, Superintendent of Schools, was hasty,
i'll adyised and utterly uncaled for, inasmuch
as Mr.. Anderson. in doing that for which he was
suspended. acted in accordance with instruc-
tons given him by members of this Board.
After the resolution was read, an oppor-
tunity was afforded Mr.. Beard to withdraw
his suspension. This he would not, and so
the resolution was unanimously adopted.
Going to Alameda.
The Atlas leave this morning for Ala
media, where they will this afternoon play
off their drawn game with the GREENWOOD
g. Morans. There is considerable specula-
ton as to who the umpire will be, some
thinking that Finn, of the Pioneers, will
another man has been selected.
Up to 10 or IL o'clock last night it was
uncertain whether the Atlas would go
down. When President None a week or
so ago decided that the game should be
played at Alameda to-day, he directed that
the mines be composed of the same men
that played in the disputed games in this
city and Stockton. 1t was so published in
the San Francisco papers, as well as those
of Sacramento, was generally understood,
and considered proper. The Atlas were
astonished yesterday to learn that the
GREENWOOD & Morans intended to have
Denny and Cahill play with them in the
game. Manager Stafford, of the Atlas,
promptly decided not to play if such a
scheme was to be carried out. The Green
hoods on Saturday night refused to go to
Stockton to play unless the Sacramento
club would agree to Van Court being
umpire and, as the Atlas had chartered
train, sold tickets and made other arrange
ments, they had to submit. On this occa-
sion they did not propose to be bluffed out
of their rights, and word was telephoned to
Oakland of their determination. Manager
Robinson, of the GREENWOOD & Morans, re-
sponded dictatorially that President None
had not said anything about the same mines
playing that played in Sacramento and
otOcktcH, ne k1NODlnSOIlJ ndu secuTeu Jenny
and Cahill as good drawing cards and if
the Atlas could not live up to the League
rules they had better find some other
League and place to play. The manager of
the Atlas smiled when, on President None
being interviewed through the telephone,
he stated that he had directed the game to
be played Just as the Atlas had understood
him. The club will therefore go down,
and, if the Pets " make any dispute leave
the whole matter for President None to
decide according to the League rules.
