TROUBLE In
THE HIGH SCHOOL

The School Board which held reg
| ular meeting Monday eve was con-
fronted by a most serious problem. A
committee composed OF Messrs Pur-
sci, Fischer. Orth and Adams, which
was appointed to look into grievances
brought up by q majority of the gradu-
ating class against the faculty present.
ed their report sustaining the teachers.
The grievances rs presented to the
Board were taken from the fact that
the faculty had departed from proceed.
ent and taken unto themselves the con-
ferring of the class honors or choosing
those who would speak on the night
| of commencement. The class numbers
23 and it was decided to allow but
eight to speak. The eight to be chosen
we're those whose average report was
the highest.
To this a majority OF the class OBJ
jected stating that owing to unequal
conditions they would have no chance.
This condition arose from an unfair
ness in the demerit system. which sew
eral of the directors seem to think has
been abused.
The committee after hearing the
testimony stood with the faculty. but
upon presenting the report to the
Board, the Chairman asked that his
name be withdrawn as he believed he
had acted unwisely in concuring with
the action of the balance OF the com
mittee in so broad manner.
This led up to the fact that q very
bitter factional fight is being waged
in the High School room and that not
only is the graduating class divided
on mnay questions but that the whole
school has taken up the issue.
1t was q condition of affairs that
brought to light many serious things
and the Board faced the question OF
either sustaining the faculty or de-
priving the class of its rights. 1t was
the opinion of some members that the
faculty erred in settling so serious a
matter without consulting the School
Board and the first vote taken was
against accepting the committees re-
poIt.
Not wishing. however. to disrupt
the discipline aud act directly against
the faculty In the matter the motion
was after lengthy argument rescinded
and the report was accepted with the
amendment that there should be Ia
speakers on commencement night in
stead of 8. which would give all q
chance.
1t was also decided though not vot-
ed on, that il the graduating class did
not cease pursuing this faotional fight
there would be no commencement end
the leaders on each side should be ex-
PEELED from the school.
The report of Tax Receiver Peters
was heard relative to taxes for 1908
1t showed $l76 unoollected on person
al tax and $i32 Oh real estate. The
cases being excusable the receiver was
made exempt on the personal tax and
on the real estate q portion was made
exempt and q portion ordered entered
against the properties.
The following directors we're present /:
President Harpel, Messrs. Orth, Adams.
