Z. A. Carleton, state superintendent of
public instruction, has been called upon
for an opinion as to the right of the board
Of school trustees at Wicks to employ a
teacher for the next year for the purpose
OF foreBtalling the newly elected board.
The state superintendent holds that such
an action is not only in conflict with good
morals. but that the new board may an
nul the contract with the teacher, pro-
vidcd he was aware of the object of the
action in employing him. The law gives
the board power to employ and discharge
teachers. but also provides that after
orc employed, they can be discharged
for cause, and if the teacher was not
aware Of the purpose of the board, he can
not be held responsible in any ISL
