The board of education went into ex-
ecutive session last night when the re-
port Of the committee on teachers and
salaries was called. and after deciding
what action it would take went
out of executive session and adopted
motion to adopt what it had resolved
TO do in executive session and that the
action done in executive session should
be part Of the record of the board.
The Eagle learned last night that the
principal object in going into executive
session was to discuss the matter of
deviaung from the usual custom of fill
ing vacancies on the corps Of teachers

but teacher at Shawnee, o. T., schools

board has eXecised no supervision over
the assignment, other than through its
committee on teachers and salaries.
