Teachers Should Not Break Contracts.
Probably the most annoying
thing in the selection of school
teachers is that the Board can
never tell for sure that they
have them until school begins
And even then a resignation
may be received any day.
President Jesse of Missouri
University has just issued a
letter to bis students on this
subject that will meet with tn e
hearty approval OF every boar d
iu Missouri, In past years, "
says DR.. Jesse, ''some students
of the University have bee n
elected to position in school S
and thereafter have continued d
to apply for better positions.
In some cases where a better
position has been offered later
in the summer the student has
broken his contract to accept
the better position. When a
teacher makes a contract with
a school board for a session that
contract ought not to be broken
by the teacher except by the
consent of the school authori
ties. If the school authorities
rel ase the teacher voluntarily,
the better position may be &C
cepted without moral taint; but
not otherwise. No amount of
additional salary can compen-
safe for loss of honor"
