School Teacher Loses Case.

Salem, Or, Dec. l5.-The State
Board of Education today decided the
contest between Miss Nan ShiValy, of
Astoria, and the Cotta.e Grove District,
against Miss Shively, ho'ding that no
contract relations can exist between a
teacher and a school district unless the
contract bs in writing. The decision is
of wide importance for the reason that
in many Instances teachers begin teach
ing without contracts and await ii con-
veuience of echool boards.
Mis- Shively had been elected to
position in the Cottage Grove schools,
bni no written contract was mad, be-
cause she DID not have her teachers
certificate with her. After she had
tau ht several weeks the Board dif
missed her without preferring charges
or giving her hearing. She appealed
t., the County Superintendent who re-
ve-sed the District Board. The case
was appealed to the State Board of Ed
ncaton and the County Superintendent
is reversed and the District Board sus
tanned.

THE eYPslEs.


Their Tribes Existed In Europe
From ImmemoriaI Times.
Gypsles were found in England about
1914, according 10 "A Dialogue of Sir
Thomas More Q529l, but the exact
year OF their arrival is unknown. They
were present in Scotland in 1905. and
possibly they were the "Saracens"
whose depredatlons in that country
prior 10 400 are on record.
Batailard and other authors believe
that gypsles existed in Europe from
immemoriai times, for they find no ac-
count of their crossing the Bosporus,
and no record is known TO exist OF their
passage TO England or Scotland.
They were better received in these
countries than in any other, but so
early as 1881 an act was passed re
quiring the Egyptians to quit the
realm under pain of death, similar
edict being issued in Scotland in 1871
and Mt varying periods in most of the
European states.
Transportation across the seas was
among the mllder means adopted and
probably was the cause of much fur
Tier dispersion OF the tribes. Under
Henry VIII. gypsies were shipped from
England to Norway or France, and
from France, so recently as 1902, they
were deported to Africa.
