That Anti-Nepotism Bill.

The Commercial-Appeal's Little Rock bureau is in receipt of a num- Der of letters making inquiries about the anti-nepotism school bill passed by the last legislature. One of these letters is signed Public School Teacher in which the writer wants to know what the legislature meant by saying that no one who is related to school director, either by con- sanguinity or affinity down to the fourth degree, shall be eligible to teach in the public schools. The writer also says he is nephew of school director and would like to know if the law would bar him from teaching in the district over which his uncle presides as director. The law is very plain on this subject. and would apply very forcibly in the case mentioned. The object of the law is to reach just such cases. A man or woman who does not know the meaning of language so plain and explicit as applied in this case cer- tainly has no business to be a teach CT in the public schools, and it was just for this reason that the legisla- ture passed the bill It is a notorious fact that there are teachers all over the state of Arkansas who have no business in the public schools for want of ability to teach. but simply hold on because they are related in some way or other to the school di- rectofs. The bill, when signed by the governor. will cut out all such teachers and compel the directors to elect people who are competent.
 Gov Davis will dispose of the anti nepotism school bill during the pres ent week. IL is generally believed that the governor will sign it just as soon as President Wilson and Speak CT Humphreys affix their signatures. They will return from Fayetteville to Little Rock in a day or two.

REQUIRED BY LAW All Arkansas Public School Teachers Must Attend
 Institute. REVOCATION OF LICENSE TO TEACH FOR FAILURE TO ATTEND. :,
Notice Given by Superintendent Doyne of His Construction of
 the Statute.
THAT ANTl-NEoPoTIsM BILL

In reply to querry from an Ar kansas school teacher SuperiatenG- ent of Public Instruction D0yHa has nlitten the following which is of vast importance, as it's effecs is that ail teachers must attend institutes or have then licenses revoked:
 Section 7073, as amended by the act of 1895. reads as follows: It shall be the duty of all teachers of the public schools to attend one in- stitute annually, which shall be held by the county examiner, after having given twenty days notice of the time and place of the institute in the same manner as is now required by law for quarterly examinations. You will note from this that the county examiner is required to hold at least one institute annually. and that teachers are required to attend the same X law without a penalty would be dead letter. am, there fore. of the opinion that the county examiner would be authorized to re- yoke the license of any teacher who failed to attend an institute of which he had due notice, unless the teacher is able to present satisfactory req son fer failure to attend. However, no license should be revoked till the teacher against whom such action is contemplated has been given due mo- tice. and q chance given him to ap- pear before the examiner and show cause for failure to meet the require rents of the law. In support of this view would refer you to the opinion rendered by the supreme court of our state in the case of Huff vs. Lee, found in the G1st Arkansas. page 494. where il is held that the law (section 7013. Sandels X Hills D- gesD, which provides that the ex- aminer may revoke a teachers li- cense for immortality, incompetency or other adequate causes. leaves it to the examiner to decide as to what shall constitute adequate causes, and unless it can be shown to the satis- faction of the court that the examin- er has acted with malice toward the teacher his action shall b. consider ed as taken in good faith. ani he
