There appears to be hitch in school
matters here that may cause some
trouble. Some time early last spring
the school board engaged Prof. Schafer
as principal for the ensuing year and
we understand contract was drawn up
and signed. Since that time there has
been some change in the personnel of
the board, and the new board claimed
the former action in engaging teachers
was illegal and void, and the contract
with Prof. Schafer was repudiated and
aProf. Bowers employed in his stead.
Prof. Schafer is absent but has
telegraphed friends here that he will
be on hand to to take his position on
the opening OF school. Prof. M. J.
McKanna has been re-engaged as first
assistant and Miss Kittie Curry rs
second assistant, and as they were
engaged by both the old and new
boards there will be no dispute as to
their title at least.
