SCHOOL ROW AT ELpoRA.
Doron's Resignation Result of Row
Petitions Circulated-Public sen:-'

Petitions MISUNDERSTANDING Sen:
timcnt With Him.
Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, April s. Since the resignation
of Professor Doron, superintendent OF
the ElGora schools, it has become public
information that the action was forced
because of personal enmity on the part
of three members of the school board
toward Mr.. Boron causing the latter to
resign his position rather than allow
the board TO vote him out.
The trouble has aroused great deal
OF public indignation. large petition In
Doron's behalf having been circulated
and signed by every pupil but one and
backed by many business men, but the
majority of the board was obdurate
and accepted Mr.. Dorons resignation.
Little complaint is made against Dor
ons work in the schools, and OF course
no official complaint by the board has
been made at all, for Doron foreetalled
that. The root of the whole trouble
seems to be personal affair between
Doron and the president and secretary
of the board.
