TWO teachers were on mana CidiiIiiis
the office of principal. one being backed
by the Board OF Education, the other
by the trustees. Each insisted on his
right to the office, and the children were
treated to the edifying ,wrangle. which
lasted for more than an hour.
When the wrangle was over no one
seemed to know Just where he stood.
DR.. Thomas s.. O'Brien. who had the
backing of the Board of Education, held
on to the principals desk, but all the
teachers were instructed to ignore his
authority. Later in the day School Su-
perintendent Jasper came along ana set
The teachers were ordered by him to
recognize the authority of DR.. O,Brien.
Some of them did so, but others did not,

directed by the trustees, until the mat

feat cannot be accomplished without
the aid Of the courts. and that aid the
trustees intend to invoke at once.
The scene this morning grew out of
the bill recently ~railioaded through the
Legislature, giving the trustees of the
different wards power to appoint school
teachers. Heretofore they could only
recommend candidates, but the appoint
ment lay in the hands OF the Board OF
Education.
The members of the latter body who
had been caught mapping. as 1t. were,

others appointed DR.. O'Brien to the
new school which was opened this morn

That appointment was made four
weeks ago. but AZ the school did not
open until this morning. the trustees
claimed the appointment was illegal. and
that under the new law they alone had
the power to fill the position.
Threats without number have been
made within, the past few days; among
the number being one to the effect that
the trustees would proceed to the school
building this morning and throw DR..
