Grinnell, April 10.-Tle case of NC
Kee VS.. District No. OF Iirinnell town
ship was up before County Superin-
tendent Viola Schell yesterday at the
city hall. The case resulted in VIC
tory for the appellant. Joseph Mckee
The history of the case is an interesting
one. Some time ago ore OF the school
board became dissatisfied with Mckeefs
instruction, claiming he did not help
the pupils enough. On the other hand
Mr.. Mckee claimed that If the pupils
were left strictly to him he would teach
them to help themselves. a few
charges were trumped W. and the board
dismissed Mckee without evidence,
save that of the irate director. Mckee
appealed the case and w. Rayburn, for
the defendants in the appeal, moved
that the charges be dropped and the
case dismissed on its merits. The board
acted wisely, as they avertsd trouble
for the appellant had some dangerous
evidence.
The humor Of the situation was in
creased when the board failed to pro-
duce the original charges. The board
then asked permission to make new
charges, which was granted, but after
consideration they took the above steps
with the result that Mckee is paid his
school salary for the full term in addi-
ton to nine days for lost time.
The district is noted for having
caused trouble to the former teachers.
1t seems that the pupils were in the
habit of "buncoing' teachers to leave
the room any time and Mckee could
not tolerate such state of affairs. One
of the charges was that he was cruel
and inhuman in refusing to allow pu-
nils to leave the room at any time.
r n. Patton was the attorney for
Mckee and Will Rayburn for the board.
