The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1902-04-12

The regular annual excitement in public
school matters in Eureka waved warm with
the bright days Of early April, and on last
Sunday afternoon . special meeting was
held by the Trustees at which Principal
Winfrey and Assistant Jameson were pres
emit.
As near ~ the SENTINEL can learn the
principal cause Of ebullition seems TO have
been that the members Of the two lower
grades Of the High School were not assigned
individual parts for the graduating exercises
which take place on June 20. Il has usually
been the custom, inssmuch IS the gradual
ing exercises are for the graduating class,
for none but the graduates to take individ-
usl parts, only such members OF the lower
grades being called upon IS we're necessary
to 6ll out the musical portion Of the pro.
grsmme, the entire High School. however.
singing 10 the ohoruses. This plan has been
followed by the present teachers. each grad
uate having . separate place on the pre-
grsmme. and no pupil below the tenth grade
being asked to assist them, and those Of the
tenth grade who are to assist will do go only
in the line Of music.
Especial pains were taken TO invite oil
having . grievance to come to the meeting,
but when it came to the matter Of appearing
in person before the Board and the teachers,
no one could be persuaded that he or sbe
had any fault to find. or that matters were
otherwise than they should be.
The programme has been left as it wal
originally arranged by Mr.. Winfrey, and il
seems that from whatever source the dissat'
i~siaction arose, it has failed to be contsg'
ious. As no one could be persuaded into
presenting . charge in person or by writing.
the meeting passed of quietly, the temper
sture WAS very much lowered, and at the
end ell seemed calm as . Summer ses.
Before the meeting adjourned one Of the
Trustees stated that he would never again
be willing to call . special meeting to look
into charges unless they were properly pre-
scented in writing. and the remainder Of the
Board appeared satisfied to abide by this
ruling in the future.
Principal Winfrey advised bis pupils on
Monday morning 10 make no statements in
the future which they mere not willing 10
support in the presence Of those against
whom they made them.
