THE SCHOOL MA'RMs CONTRACT.

The TIMES has noticed in one
of it's exchanges an article brief
ly telling that a school teacher
engaged for the coming year had
dumped her contract just be-
fore the beginning Of school, and
that the school board was exper
fencing all sorts of trouble in fill
ing the place, and that the partic-
ular department over which the
teacher was to have presided
might not have an instructor on
the day of the beginning of
school. This is an old, old story,
and upon first thought might at
tract little attention. Nearly all
districts have the same trouble
with their teachers every year.
The same thing is happening
year after year in Washburn,
and when the teacher quits the
school board have got so they
look upon the thing as merely a
matter Of course. and without
making any particular complaint
proceed to fill thevacancy. just
Why school boards and districts
follow out the form of making
contracts at all, with teachers, is
getting to be a good deal Of a
question. In the business world
a contract is almost inviolab)e,
yet there are a great many
school teachers who have alb

A CLEAN CUT STATEMENT


THE TINES takes pleasure in
publishing statement from Mr..
Charles F. Morris, the bright
young attorney from Iron River,
who aspires to represent the
counties of Bayfield,, Sawyer and
Washburn in the coming session
of the legislature, as member
OF the lower branch of that body.
He defines his position on the
questions which are being gen
orally discussed within.the party
and throughout the state, in the
following manner:
First: He is for tax reform
and will support the tax commits
sion.
Second: He is Internationally
for the reelection Of John G.
Spooner to the United States
Senate.
Third. He is for a primary
election law.
Mr.. Morris is very certainly
taking the people into his conf
dence, and there can be no one
who will object to theplatform he
has laid down. His position for
tax reform will appeal to the vo-
tiers, because those who know
him have sufficient confidence in
him to believe he will do just
what he says in that direction.
His position in relation to the
reelection of Senator Spooner is
in accordance with the over
whelming sentiment of the peo-
ole of the state of Wisconsin, and
it shows him to be young man
of independence and frankness
that must certainly be admired.
That Mr.. Morris should favor
primary election law is to be
expected, as he is and has been
among that class that have been
called ssoriginal L.aF allette men.
That he should be honest in his
convictions and use his efforts to
secure the passage of a primary
election law is certainly to his
credit, and no one-whether dis
agreeing with him or not as to
the plan, could expect him to
take any other position upon
this question.
MI. Morris seems to have a
good many friends inlthe con
test, and his delegation will GER
tainly be given a very handsome
vote at the coming caucus, and it
would not be at all strange if he
carried away the delegates and
the nomination. Should such a
thing occur it is very certainth
the voters and the people would
have no ocassion to regret their
Judgment.

solutely no regard for this busl
ness transaction of signing a con-
tract, except inasmuch as it per-
mits them to hold their school
Sin spite of the school board,
should any conflict arise. The
school teacher who will disregard
her contract when she wants to
quit, will in SO cases out OF a hum
dred insist on it's beinglived upto
should the school authorities
wish to replace her or set it
aside. In a program OF the
State Teachers Association
which we remember seeing a
few years ago the question as to
whether the teacher had a right
to surrender her contract at any
time was one of the questions
under discussion, and the report
of the meeting found that many
teachers, and some very promi-
nent educators, held that the
teacher was at liberty to throw
up" their schools whenever they
saw that it was to their financial
benefit to do so. The contract
most certainly binds the school
board, but it does not bind the
teachers and therefore it should
never be made. The school con-
tract should be abolished entire
ly, as it is too much a one-sided
affair, and the great army OF
school teachers who do not re-
spect so sacred an instrument as
contract should be made to feel
that they have no sinche on their
positions. Those teachers who
are prompted by 8, sense of
honor to finish their school work
will do it without a contract, and
in their case it is a needless
waste of paper.

they should have the proper sup
