PECULIAR CONDITION OF AFFAIRS.
Carbon County's Newly Elected School
Superintendent Has No Certificate.

Superintendent Has No Certificate.
A report comes from Red Lodge of g
peculiar condition of affairs that has
developed there in relation to the
qualification of Miss Martha Dilworth
as county superintendent of schools.
At the recent election Miss Dilworth
was elected to this office by a big ma
jority over Miss Kathryn Feeley, the
present superintendent.
A short time prior to the election
Miss Feeley issued a professional
grade certificate in lieu of her first
grade certificate, which had expired
by limitation. This professional GER
titicate was issued without an exami-
nation, being dated back to last
August, the date Of the last quarterly
teachers examination.
Having been defeated, Miss Feeley
a few days ago revoked the certificate
issued to her successful competitor in
the race on the ground that no exami-
nation had been had.
Miss Dilworth is a graduate of Ann
Arbor high school and took a two
yOd1o OOuloc az tllc VMlCl1Rdu SCdG0 un1.
versity. She has been employed for
the past two years in the Red Lodge
high school, and is everywhere recog-
nized as a competent instructor.
A few night ago the school board
held a meeting to- take action on the
communication of Miss Feeley notify
ing the trustees that Miss Dilworth
was being illegally employed in the
schools, and that in revoking her GER
tificate she miss Feeley) had been
guided by the advice of State Superin-
tendent Carleton.
The board, however, took a differ
emit view of the matter, and voted
unanimously to retain Miss Dilworth.
If, after the matter has been fairly
presented, State Superintendent Garlic
ton still adheres to his decision rem
dered Miss Feeley, the question will
be taken into the district court for
final settlement.
