DOyEY RETAINED.
TEACHERS Retired
Outcome of Hamilton School
Trouble
REPORT OF COMMITTEE
DOXEY WILL BE GIVEN ANOTH-
Err SCHOOL.

Principal Samuel Doxey of the Ham
iIton school has won a victory with
the committee on teachers and school
work of the board of education, and
if the present programme is carried out
a number Of the grade teachers who
asked for transfers from his school
will be retired. It is stated that the
report that the committee win make
90 the board this evening viii exonar-
ate Mr. DoXey and condemn some Of
the teachers.
Three lady teachers are to go rs a
result of the troubles in the Hamilton
school. They are Miss Leah II. Ar
mold. now of the Sumner school, but
formerly of the Hamilton. and Miss
Treuah p. Logan and Miss Louise
Harrison of the Hamilton. The charge
against Miss Arnold among the friends
OF Principal D0Ney is that she sOv-ed
the seeds of disc0rd an the school last
year and has been responsible for
much Of II @ trouble this year. Not a
word seems to be urged against Miss
AruOIds work IN the schools. Her re-
ports are of the very best
one of the grievances against Miss
Harrison, it Is said, is that she save
serious Ofense to some members on
the school board by expressing the
idea at the recent Investigation Of
Principal DOXey that the public school
system of salt Lake was but ten years
old. that it dated FROM the orsaniza-
zion Of the school Board, the begin
ming of the era. of erecting line school
buildings. The charges against Miss
Logan are that she has been disre-
spectful to Principal DOEey and has
aided In undermining his influence in
the schools.
Cause of Trouble.
puTpOscd dismissal of Misses Logon,
Arnold and Harrison is the outcome of
the agitation started or the in~estiga-
tiou OF Principal DoXey Nay 81 Super
intendent Cooper had declined 20 rec
Owmend Mr.. DOxey for Te-emDlO ymeut
and a number of the teachers uader
him had asked for transfers to some
other school. The board decided to
investigate and invited the teachers ia
attend and explain why they desired
the transfers
At that investigation Mrs Parsons
and Misses Logan. Thompson. Davis
and Harrison appeared and explained
their opposition to DOXey. They said
I'm effect that he was incompetent; that
bc bullied the little boys and was
afraid of the big ones; that ne was
coarse and rude in his manners, and
that he was without the respect and
confidence of his teachers. All of them
asked to be transferred TO other
schools should Mr.. Doxey be retained
and some of them stated that they
would resign rather than teach under
him again. 1t viii be remembered that
five teachers asked 20 be transferred
from the Hamilton school last year
and fOUr of these We're transferred
Five others asked to be transferred
Ehis year.
one Of the features Of the contro-
versy between Mr.. DoNey and his
grade teachers is that his friends are
claiming that b. is being made a mar
tyr to his religion. that the chief oo-
lection to him on the part Of the
teachers under him Is that he is q
Neither President Newman nor Mr.
Geogh cyan of the committee would
say yesterday that any of the Hamil-
ton teachers would be dismissed. al
though both said that Mr.. DOXey would
be retained, and that there wOulo b'
changes made in other teachers al
the Hamilton. Mr.. DoNey viii b,
transferred from the Hamilton TO some
other school. At least that will b'
the recommendation Of the committed
at the meeting o. the board Of educa-
ton this evening where the matter

superintendent Cooper would mo-
discuss Z! ? matter last evening. Ht
has refused to indorse Mr. DONey and
informed the board Of education tina
III would be better for it to keep thai
gentleman at home and pay him m:
salary rather than TO have him IN Lnt
schools.
