Parties having business with the school
board during the past month found it very
difficult to accomplish anything owing to
the absence OF a quorum. Although the
board is composed of seven trustees, for
some time there was only one member in
Lewistown, Mr.. HObensack. W. w. De
Witt is away for the winter, while H.. p.
Brooks but recently returned from Chicago.
Mr.. Noble has not lived in the district for
the past six months, while Mr.. jackson, il
we are correctly Informed, is employed at
the Gilt Edge. Messrs. Sherwood and
Butts were absent from the district most
of the summer the latter operating a saw
mill at the head of Mcdonald creek. 1t
would seem that with seven trustees in
this district it would always De an easy
matter to secure "A quorum, but such is
not the case. Ii Messrs. Noble and Jack
son expect to remain out of the district
they should resign and allow the county
superintendent to fill the vacancy. In the
interest OF harmony selections could be
made from the locality these gentlemen rep
resented.
