TEACHERS AND TRUSTEES
Facts That Should be Understood by
All School officials.

County school superintendent and
the territorial superintendent have
frequently found themselves in embar-
RAISING positions by reason of the ir-
regular practice of some boards of
school trustees in the employment of
their teachers. All concerned mean
well enough, but their ignorance of
the law or their failure to appreciate
its Importance causes the trouble now
referred to, and which arises through
the employment of teachers who are
not equipped with credentials recog-
nized by the school law. Often school
boards will send outside the territory
and employ a teacher. on arrival it
Will be explained that the teacher
must submit his credentials to the ter
ritorial board for approval. He does
so, often beginning his school work be
fore report is secured authorizing
him to teach. If favorable, all we'll and
good, but if the credentials are not
such as the law recognizes, then the
teacher must not only give up the
school but the county superintendent
cannot legally pay him from the coun-
ty funds for the work already per-
formed. and if the service is paid for
at all, it must be borne by the trustees
y
An incident of this kind occurred once.
and often the credentials are held up
pending investigation, until the situa-
ton becomes embarrassing. Finally.
when appeal is made to the territorial
superintendent, he can only obey the
law, which affords no relief
The proper course to pursue is for
every teacher residing outside the ter
rltory, before he accepts a school here,
to forward his credentials, or write
and state what he has to base his
hopes upon. And it is as much the
duty of trustees to see that the teacher
does this, as it is the duty of the
teacher to thus protect himself. For
the information of trustees and teach !

A MYSTERIOUS $1,000
Administrator Of Hessinger Estate
Would Recover From County.

A very interesting matter came be-
lore the board of supervisors yester-
day. 1t was brought up by a claim by
v T. Messenger, administrator of the
estate of NJ. w. Messenger. for the re-
turn of $1,000 to the estate, it being
alleged by the claimant that the
money is now in the general fund of
the county The board had a letter
from Mr.. Messenger on the subject as
long ago as last April but the claim
was not actually submitted until with
in the last week.
The claim merely sets forth that the
money due was money paid in by NJ.
w. Messenger and which was not due
the county. The history of the trans
action is this: Some eight months af-
ter the retirement of Mr.. Messenger
from the office of county treasurer
he called at the office and told his
successor, J. Elliott Walker, that he
had $1,000 which belonged to the coun-
ty or which he believed belonged to
the county. The books of the office
were in balance, or at least in appar-
ent balance, so that they did not show
that anything was due the county
from the former treasurer.
Mr.. Messenger turned over $1,000
and in order to make himself absolute
ly sure that the money did not belong
to him, asked the permission of the
board and Mr. Walker to go over the
books carefully. He did so, at great
length, but could find no apparent err
ror.
There was always a possibility, how
ever, that something might be uncov-
cred to definitely fix the ownership
Of the money, so that it was not turn
ed into the county funds of Mr.. Wal
ker, though Mr.. Messenger told him
that he was convinced that it was
not his. Mr.. Walker kept the money
in an envelope in his safe, until Just
before the close of his second term,
when he told the supervisors that
some disposition of it would have to
be made. 1t was then decided to turn
it into the general fund.
How the error occurred is not
known. The fact of the excess of $1,000
came to the knowledge of Mr.. Mess
niger when he settled with the Valley
bank, which had been the county de-
pository during his term. How it came
was a mystery and will always proba-
bly, remain one. There is a theory
that it accumulated in various sales
of property for delinquent taxes. Mr..
Messenger said that property which
was not delinquent had at various
times found its way on the list and
had been sold. In several cases this
had been discovered and the money
had been returned by him and the
county. 1t was possible, he thought,
that this excess had arisen in the
same way, and in that event the dis
covery would no doubt be made some
time. The board denied the appIica-
ton of the administrator,

Mr.. HILL ENROLLED-A recent
issue of the Engineer Record announc-
es the election of L. c. Hill to mem
bership in the American Society of
Civil Engineers. This is the most ex-
elusive, or rather the most select, So
ciety of civil engineers in the world.
To become a member one has to be
engaged in actual construction work
and besides has to set forth in detail
his experience and training, which
must include ten years of actual field
work. The society numbers several
thousand men, who are scattered all
over the world and who are aclnowI-
edged to be the best in the profession.
There are other subordinate classes
not in full membership that include
other long lists of good engineers, usu-
ally younger or less experienced To
illustrate how small is this coterie of
best engineers, although the member

A HILL TALE
A Blunt Old Colorado Miner on Postum

A clergyman may be eloquent, may
use the choicest language, dressing his
earnest desire to help his felIowman in
the most elevated, chaste and beau
tifuI language and yet not touch
the hearts of his hearers. Another
man, having little education and no
grace of speech whatsoever, may tell
his message in the common everyday
vernacular he is used to, and the sim
pie faith that grows within him car
ries quick conviction with it. Such a
man writes from the towering peaks
of Colorado, preaching of Postum:
81 had drank coffee all my life until
it about killed me, when I concluded to
try Postum, and in a short time I got
relief from the terrible misery 1 suf-
fered from coffee.
''When I drank coffee I bloated up
so that I could not breathe at times;
my nerves were so shaky that I could
not hold myself still.
But thanks to Postum I am all well
now and can say that hope to remain
so.
Il was very much disguised with it
the first time tried it, but had it made
stronger and boiled longer till it tasted
as good as good coffee"
No amount of rhetorical frilIs and
literary polish could add to the con-
vincing power of the old miners testi-
mony. Name given by the Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.

Of supervisors yesterday accepted the

Mr.. Jones said that he had been in

reason why he had resigned. The less

produced as follows:
There is a law in our statutes re-
curing all teachers to file their certifi-

school trustees, whose duty it is to

BOWEN FILES HIS REPLY.
II REPORTED DENIAL.
Not Responsible for Publication of
1Attacks on LOOmis.
IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.l

Washington, May 16-M!nister Bowen has
filed his reply to the charges of Acting Secre-
tary Loomis and his defence against the criti-
cism OF the administration with Secretary Taft
who will now proceed to prepare a digest for the
President, and will accompany his digest with
such recommendations as, in his estimation, the
situation calls for.
Before Secretary Taft reached the White
House to attend the Cabinet meeting this morn
ing request reached him from Mr. Bowen for
certain Papers bearing upon the controversy
which were in the State Department. These
were furnished TO him. with the understanding
that he would make an additional statement re-
garding the facts disclosed In the papers.
Just prior TO the Cabinet meeting DIR. jose de
j. Paul, n representative of Venezuela in this
country. called at the White House and had a
talk with the President regarding the pending
case
During the Cabinet meeting Mr.. Bowen called
at the White House and. through Secretary
Loeb sent note TO Secretary Taft. The note
simply indicated the presence at the executive
offices of SeEor Pastor Mora. a friend of Mr..
Bowen. whom the Minister desired should talk
with the President and Secretary Taft Soon
afterward Senior Mora had a conference with the
President and Secretary Taft the talk lasting
some time. Sefior Mora did not disclose the de-
tails of the interview. but 1t is known that hav-
ing at time beer connected with the
phalt company in Caracas he was enabled TO
throw some light upon the present situation.
While official announcement is made
garding the character Of Mr.. Bowen's defence,
it is learned from fairly authentic sources that
he fatty denies the charge that he is respon-
sible for the publication of the charges against
Mr.. Loomis. and tha, he insists that in trans
mitting the tenor of these charges to the De-
partment of State he was merely acting within
mis- capacity as Minister. which required that he
should inform his government Of gossip regard
ing United States officials which was current
in Caracas, and that he was not in any way
making himself responsible for them.
Mr. Bowen is also understood to insist that
he not only furnished information to mem
bers of the press in Caracas. but that all news
paper men there possessed full knowledge of all
the charges against Acting Secretary Loomis
which have found their way into print Fur
thermore that Venezuelans were chiefly respOn-
sible for the publication of the stories in this
country. Friends of President Castro in the
United States among them being a newspaper
man. Charles Saloman and DR.. Paul both Of
whom have recently been in Washington, are
reporte5 to have offered these stories to corre-
spondents in this city.
1t cannot be stated accurately how long it
will require for Secretary Taft to prepare this
case for the President. but no unnecessary delay
will be permitted.
