cause of gross misconduct and general in
competency. Severance is a young man of
about 10, son of Charles Severance of
Leyden. He had previously taught one
term in the district and was engaged for
the present term by the directors without
Mr.. Gale knowing of their action. The
school directors, w. G. Worden, S. A.
Richmond and F. E. Ward, demanded that
Severance be reinstated. Mr.. Gale refused
to reinstate him, and the directors there
fore appointed Clifford Baker as superin-
tendent in place of Mr.. Gale. Mr.. Gale
has been superintendent much of the time
the past eight years. He has taken great
interest in the schools, and has labored to
bring them to higher standard. His rec
Ords showed that the school in district No
Is had taken very low rank under Sew

duct on the part of the teacher were such
as seemed to make him manifestly unfit
for the position.
