Contract With a Teacher.

GOubIIGG " I'LL u I6dC0Sf,
School Visitor.
The following is a decision rendered
by the supreme court and found in
the Kansas reports, Vol. 81 page 129
G. P. Altman VS. school district
No. Is, Butler county; hiring teachr
er; contract; when invalid.
Where the power is vested in a
district board of district composed
Of three, to contract with and hire a
teacher fer and iii The name nf lie
district, and written con;racJ is sign
ed by two members Of the board in the
absence OF each other. or without the
other member, and without any meetr
ing of the district board, upon the
application OF party seeking to be
employed as q teacher, such contract
is not binding upon the school dis
trict.
In the opinion Of the court will be
found the following: 1T is an ele-
mentary principle that when several
persons are authorized 10 do an act of
public nature which requires deli.
beration, they all should be convened,
because the advice aud opinions Of
all may be useful. though all do not
unite in opinion.
Certainly two members would have
DO right to exclude the third from
consulting or acting with them, and
although it is not necessary that all of
the members Of the bosrd should be
present at beard meeting or that all
of the member should concur in the
making of the contract in order TO
bind the district, yet the contract
should be agreed upon at a meeting
of the board where all are present or
have the opportunity of being pre-
sent"

HOW to Exise TuFkeYs.

Gather the eggs before they get
chilled, keep in not too cool nor too
warm a place in the light Turn
them over once a day, that is to the
other side from the side they lie on.
Treated this way they viii all be
likely to hatch. Keep the eggs till
the hens all commence to set, if it is
not too long, then set your tamesU
hen with ten or fifteen eggs, aud If
you want the others to lay again you
will set the balance of eggs under
chickens; but the turkey hens would
be the best. Try to get them all set
the same week if you can.
If your chickens have gapes your
sarkeys will have them worse. The
best way-and it is sure ways SO
keep them on board floor well COW
cred: Have it made so that if the
hen does get out the young turkeys
can't, and give them all to one tur-
key hen. Have four or five inches of
old hayseed chaff all over the floor.
If it is cool weather it must be kept
as warm as possible, and If it is warm
weather the sunlight must get in
the greater part of the day. Keep
them in till six weeks old, then when
you put them out choose a day that
is not too hot or it will kill them.
Watch them for the first two or
three days.
Until they are quite a good size
when it comes a rain I always drive
them up and put them in coop, and
keep them in coops till the dew is
dried off mornings Until they are
six days old feed them nothing but
| this: Beat up three or four eggs like
| you would for custard in q pan, then
add four tablespoonfuls of sweet milk
for each egg, then set in the baker.
Don't cook too fast or let it get
| brown. This makes a tough food
like custard, and after you have fed
| this for six or seven days mix corn
bread with it until they get used to
| the bread, then leave the custard out
and feed them bread for awhile.
Then feed them just little smear
case. make it real wet. Change the
last two named feeds as often as you
can Spread an old oil cloth or car
pet On the chat and no feed will be
wasted or get dirty. Be sure not tt
give water unless it is warmed, and
not more than what could make one
half teaspoonful to each one. But
you can give them a pint of warm,
sweet cream. and if they get it al
| over them so much the better Every
morning cut up some grass and clover
fine. put in also a pan OF ashes and
one of gravel If they are not shui
up and they get to the water they
viii kill themselves before they vii
quit drinking Keep on feeding the
bread and cheese till they are big
enough to eat corn, but never feet

After consultation with he county
attorney we are of tie opinion that it
is legal and proper fer school district
board to charge She township for the
use of their school house for election
purposes. Schools are usually in ses-
sion at that time and cue day of school
is lost which must be paid for without
teaching. The school house must be
cleaned of the tobacco fumes and stains
and put in order for school and this
must be paid for by the district. We
believe township should pay at least
81 for the use of a school house in
which to hold ar election. A district
board has the right to allow the school
house to be used fer such purposes or
to refuse the use Of it.-School Visitor.
