Progressive Nsighbor.
The board OF education met last
evening In special session TO consider
the charges preferred against tsVeFe y.
Drennen, q pupil OF the high school. by
Superintendent Stewart. Never pefore
in the history OF the schools was 80
much interest taken In a meeting OF
the board. About $50 Witnesses we're
summoned by the defendant, including
an the scholars Of the Junior and SEM
for classes, the parents Of many, and o
number Of the school alumni. The
crowd had gathered In the high school
room and filled II almost to It's utmost
hut a private session Of the board was
held IN the office at which time every
member voted for the reinstatement OF
the pupil, which was a great surprise
to the superintendent and 4 few OF his
followers.
The wheeling Register and News
and the Martina Ferry Evening Times
lent valuable space and backed up the
superintendent and stated that the en-
tire population Of the city was In favor
Of Sustaining him, and will be surprised
to learn that the unanimous decision OF
the board was that Everett Drennen
be suspended until Wednesday morn.
ing, making "a suspension Of three
days, and that the records OF the
school make no mention Of any charge
against him. The reports in the Times
that the board OF education would eX-
mel the pupil and not allow him to re-
turn under any conditions, were an In.
suit to the integrity and manhood OF
the board, In having decided the case
before they had heard the evidence.
The verdict Of the board and the
wishes Of the superintendent We're at
variance but the public feel that the
sentence Of three days suspension was
as severe as the pupil Iherited, and that
WINS done chiefly for the effect OF fu'
ture discipline IN the schools.
1t was unfortunate that Superlntend-
emit Stewart. because of personal
grievances, made the charges he did
because the finding OF the board show
ed little justification for It and II was
not for the best interests Of the schools
that his authority should have had its
wings clipped.
