SUFFER- CREEK, Aug. 13. 100

SUFFER- CREEK, Aug. 13, 1900.
GEO. A. GORDON,
Supt. of Schools, jackson.
Dear Sir: I will have to trouble YOU
again. The Sutter Creek teachers
have been in the habit of using as SUBJ
stitutes pupils from the Principals
room. The trustees prefer to have
experienced teachers. Have trustees
the right to object to these pupils SUBJ
stituting?
Your kind attention will greatly
oblige Yours etc.
Mr.. Gordon replied as follows to the
above letter:
JACKSON, CAL, Aug. 13, 1900.
Dear Sir: In response to yours of
the 18th inst, in answer to the ques,
ton: ''have trustees the right to OBJ
ject to these pupils substituting" I
reply, yes.
Opinion 1887 of State Superintendent
reads as follows; 'It Is certainly mad
vfsable for teacher who has several
grades in her school to allow older
pupils to teach the younger ones, and
in my opinion it is contrary to law.
for teachers who do not hold certifi.
Gates of qualification have no right to
teach in the public Schools -
Opinion 1925 reads: "The trustees.
and the trustees alone, have the au-
thority to employ a teacher. A teacher
has no right to employ an assistant.
The trustees must employ all teachers.
Ii teacher becomes sick, he cannot
employ another teacher to take his
place. The trustees must supply that
other teacher; and that other teacher
must be paid what the trustees have
agreed to pay him, not what others
have agreed to pay"
Opinion 1882 reads: ga teacher
whose work is more than he can well
attend to, has no authority to employ
an assistant who has no certificate,
even though he does so out of his own
means. Doing this would render his
district liable to forfeiture of appor-
tionment. Section 1860 of the Political
Code is imperative on this point.
I would suggest that you read Sec
tiOn 1860 of the School Law of 1895.

Hoping that I have made this point
plain, and assuring you that it is al
ways pleasure to me to be of service
to you. remain,
Yours sincerely,

Hon. H. r. Howard, of Point Pleasant,
one of the most prominent Democrats in
his section of the State, was in the city
yesterday to testify in the Hissom damage
suit. He is member of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Second Hospital for the In
sane. Mr.. Howard was seen by a Regis
ter reporter last night at the Stamm
House, and talked very entertainingly
about State and district politics.
There is a feeling among Democrats in
my section Of the State" he said, that
with a strong ticket which all the voters
can support, the party will be successful
in the next election. A number of things
will contribute to this result. No attempt
is made to disguise the fact that the Re-
publican party is split into factions, and
that there is considerable soreness result
ing from appointnents-in a word, the en-
envy will not present united front. DEM
oerats are disposed to take advantage of
this situation. and to subordinate personal
opinions and preferences to party good"
'Will Mason county have any candidates
for the State ticket?'
oh yes. Virgil A Lewis is a candidate
for the Gubernator:al nomination, and ].
b. Menager is also prominently mentioned
Judge Englishs friends are anxious to have
him succeed himself on the Supreme bench,
and c. E. Hogg, author of Hogs Plead
ing and Forms is also being pushed for
ward as a candidate for the Supreme
bench. Judge Tavenner, Judge Bennett
and Mr.. Holt all have friends in Mason
county Any candidate for Gubernatorial
honors that / have mentioned would re-
ceive the solid support of the Democrats
of Mason county. The disposition among
candidates and their friends appears to be,
to talk over the situation in friendly COM
ference and to select the most available
timber for the state ticket"
GLOW about the Congressional fght?'
well, the talk is generally of Mr.. VIII
son, of Wood county, and I think he viii
be nominated by the Democrats. jim
Hughes, of Cabell, is to have opposition
on the other side in the person of State
Senator Harry woodward, Of Spencer, who
is understood to be anxious to make the
race on the Republican ticket. About the
White and Freer sentiment? Well.
rather think the Freer followers largely
outnumber the White men in Mason coun-
ty."
