Sheilah Mcleod. By Guy Boothby
This is a story of love and adventure
in the antipodes. The scene opens on
one of the Samoan group of islands.
1t is then transferred to Queensland.
Jim Heggarstone is the hero, and a
heroic fellow he is, too, and Sheilah
Mcleod, the heroine. 1t is an extremely
interesting story and exceedingly well
told 1t tells of life and love in the
great island-continent and there is not
too much romance in it, so much that
it would spoil it. The horse race and
all that grew out of it is one of the
most interesting things in the book
Those who like a lively and not too
long story will find Sheilah Mcleod to
their taste. The book is of a handy
size, beautifully gotten up and well il
lustrated.

The management Of the schools Of Bur-
lington is badly tangled, and the courts
will be called upon to straighten matters
out.
For the last forty years the Board of
School Trustees has consisted of the Bur
lington island managers and trustees
These island managers are a body ineor-
porated by the State Legislature to care
for fund created away back in the eight
zenith century for the maintenance of free
schools in the town of Burlington. For a
number of years they continued as dis
tinctive body, but in 1s4s, by act of Leg
islature, they and the school trustees unit
ed in one body and were known as
Union School District, No. l."
In 1894 the city adopted an act passed
by the Legislature, which provided for
the election of school trustees by wards,
and since that time there have been muir.
murings as to the legality Of the joint
board.
At the call for organization this spring,
both the island managers and trustees took
part, and after the organization had been
accomplished the fact was revealed that
the island board had secured all the OIL
GERS with the exception of clerk.
This organization did not suit some of
the school trustees. and they appealed to
State Superintendent Baxter as to the le-
gality of the organization. and Mr.. Bax-
ter rendered an opinion that the island
board had no rights in the meetings of the
school board. The island board vacated
on the rendering of this opinion, and en-
ployed counsel to test the matter in the
courts.
At this time the difficulty of paying bills
came up, as the treasurer of the school
board was an is land manager. The mat
ter was finally settled by an agreement
on the part Of the island board to allow
Treasurer Schuyler to pay legitimate bills,
pending the suit.
The matter rested thus, when Just pre-
vious to the last meeting of the board of
trustees. Treasurer Schuyler was notified
by Counselor Flanders, on the part of the
island board, to pay no more money out.
In the holding up of the money at this
time It deprives the teachers of their sal
aries for the closing month of the year.
This state Of affairs threatens to close
the schools for time at least, as the suit
which is about to be instituted by the
Islands Board is in the nature of QUO war
ranto proceedings against Lewis A. Craft,
the present president of the board.
