Principal Was Upheld the Teach
ers All Resigned.

ASHEvILLE. y. c.. May 24.-One
reason which caused all the teachers of
George w. Vanderbilt's parish school TO
resign was a complaint that Miss Nolan,
one OF the teachers, was incompetent.
DR.. Rodney Rush Swope, rector of All
Souls Church. who has the direct SUI
pervision of the school, requested Miss
Carman, the principal TO ask Miss No
Ian for her resignation. Miss Carman
objected, and Mr. Vanderbilt was APP
pealed to by cable to settle the matter.
He replied by cable, upholding the min
lister, whereupon the principal resigned.
Miss Carman had been principal for
three years. and was much liked by all
the teachers. The latter held an iudig-
nation meeting and decided to follow
Miss Carman's example.
The methods Of teaching at the school
have been criticised by the parents as
well as by DR.. Swope, and it has been
generally understood that Mr.. Wander
bilt was going to cut the teachers
salaries.
Miss Jackson. who was a guest at DR..
Swope's for a number of weeks has
been chosen as the new principal. She
has gone TO her home. in South Orange.
