Owing to complaints from the trustees
and from successive teachers at "A,
Hopes, the Board summoned before them
Stanley and Jonas Standiford and Stanley
Loving, pupils of said school, to answer
charges of persistent disorder and de-
struction of school property. After a
thorough investigation of the charges in
the presence of the teacher and the boys
parents, they were found guilty, repri-
manded for their conduct and gave their
written promise to the Board to be
obedient, orderly boys as long as they
attended public school.
The following letter was then addressed
to Miss Pearl Price the teacher OF the
school:
The Board of County School Com
missioners have today taken up the
matter of maintenance of order at your
school, No. in the fourth district. 1t
has been proven to them beyond n doubt
that continued disorderly conduct has
occurred in the past, that the children
frequently disobey necessary rules, and
that they band together and refuse to
give necessary evidence, when called upon
by the teacher to do So.
The Board hereby instructs you that
this condition must promptly and abso
lutely cease.
To this end, we direct you to read this
letter in open session of your school to-
morrow, and to each new pupil as he
enters, and to write in a record book the
following obligation, which every child
in your school must sign before re-enter-
ing upon his duties as pupil:
Il hereby promise on my word of honor
that l will try to be an orderly pupil; l
will not abuse the school property, and l
will truthfully answer any question the
teacher may ask me, as long as | am a
pupil of this school"
Upon violation of this pledge you will
promptly dismiss the child and report
the case to the Trustees, and if necessary
to this Board.
You will please keep the Supcrinten-
dent informed at short intervalsasbt the
result. bnS JroA
