Miss Carrie Hoffecker rendered her res
ignation as teacher in No. 10 School, and
the board accepted it.
Mrs. Lewis c. Vandegrift, in behalf of
the Delaware kindergarten Association,
extended an invitation to the Board of
of Froebeps birthday anniversary in the
Howard School. The communication was
accepted and filed.
PAY FOR "BLIZzARp DAY.
President Baird announced the receipt
of the following communication from the
teachers of No. 10 School;
While the Board Of Education is endeavoring
10 avoid establishing "a very bad precedent"
by paying those teachers who were unable 10
reach their schools on "blZzard day" and
thereby breaking q rule of the board, would IL
not be wise to adhere strictly to all oil the
rules governing tho matter, and read section
4 40 of the bylaws. This says distinctly: "All
salaries shall be paid monthly on the FIRST
Thursday after the second Monday. Notice
has been served on each of tho principals
that the secretary Of the board, in direct viola.
ton OF a rule Of the board, will retain the
checks for February until the 18th Of March,
We think il his duty to have had the matter
Strengthened out before the eleventh hour aud
thereby keep intact all the rules Of the board
Surely If one, all.
OTHER LETTERS RECEIVED.
President Baird further stated that he
had seen some of the teachers of this
school who denied any knowledge of the
letter and said they knew nothing about it
By this time the board was thoroughly
aroused over the blizzard Day" episode
1 and a number of the members acknowl
edged the receipt of letters from the teach
ers. Mr.. Baynard said he got one and Sec
rotary Jones said he was similarly favored
His letter did not materially differ from
the one received by the president.
The concluding part of Mr.. Baynard'
letter reads as follows:
Is the secretary of the board power unto
himself, or could 1t be possible that the angus
board sanctioned this wilful violation? WI
keep pretty well posted on tho law out here
and we thought you might enlighten us oil
these questions. While we would like YER
much to have our checks, still we content
more for the principle of the thing, and do no
like TO see a presiding officer Of our boar
breGkins one OF Its rules. Hy the way, we vii
lose nothing either way. Come out and vis
US soon. We are very much alive.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. - Secretary
Smith has refused 10 accept refin-
quishlnent offered by the governor OF
the state Of Minnesota OF certain lands
granted to the state for the Hastings
and Dakota railway. The case is OF
more than ordinary Importance. The
company did not earn the lands in time,
but as congress never declared for
fixture it is held that the lands could
not be forfeited. The company sold its
road to the Milwaukee and St. Paul
company, but retained its lands. T.
The legislature Of Minnesota declared
the charter OF the Hastings and Dakota
forfeited and the CT mpany went out Of
existence. But by the operation OF Tia
Minnesota constitution it
Remained u Corporation
for all legal purposes fer three years,
during which time the lands We're u.s.
signed to Russell Sage the principal
stockholder, for the benefit Of ali tho
stockholders.
Settlers to the numtor Of 2s5 have &C.
cupied portion of the lands and about
$4,000 acres are in dispute. In 1894 the
legislature of Minnesota passed Il bill
authorizing the governuf of Minnesota
to relinquish the lands TO the United
States, which would make them public
lands and secure the rights of settlers
upon them. Secretary Smith rejects
the REIMBURSEMENT. The cases of the
settlers will now be decided upon their
individual merits.
