 The case of the Watertown Savings bank vs Burton H. Mattoon ct al, was taken up by the supreme court of CT TOTS at Bridgeport yesterday on de- fendant's appeal.

SANTA ROSA. May 31.-A decision OF
Importance to the public school teach
ers OF the entire State has been rem
dered by Superior Judge Albert G. Bur
nett. The decision was given in the
case OF James Ferguson, a former prin-
cipal OF the Petaluma High School. IN
the suit which he instituted against the
Sonoma County Board OF Education TO
compel the board TO restore TO him his
certificate. which he claims was unlaw-
fully and unjustly suspended

July 8. 1904. for alleged ~unprofessional
conduct and evident unfitness for

Of his certificate as a teacher. Princi-
pal Ferguson alleged that the certif-
cate was taken from him in a high
handed and arbitrary manner" with
out a sufficient notice. without trial

The question involved in the case
which made il Of such vital Importance
to the teachers OF the State was wheth-
er or not a teachers certificate, en-
titlfng him to teach and thereby earn
his livelihood. can be arbitrarily taken
from him without any trial
In presenting the case TO the court
Attorney Stephen v. Costello, who ap-
peared in behalf OF Ferguson. contend
ed that the constitutions OF the State
of California and OF the United States
accord TO every citizen the right TO fol-
low whatever lawful calling he may Sc
lect. He further argued that the ac-
ton Of the Sonoma County Board OF
Education in suspending Ferguson's
certificate was in direct violation OF
this provision of the constitution.
which provides that no person shall be
deprived of his liberty without due

spect meaning right to pursue a lawful
calling
District Attorney Pond who repre-
sented the Board Of Education. argued
that the board had arbitrary power In
the matter and could suspend a teach

notice Of trial He based his argu-
ruent wholly on the decision OF the Su-
preme Court in the Carter case, where
IL was held that the Mayor OF San Dr.

pointed
Judge Burnett held with Attorney
Costello that the doctrine laid down In
the Carter case did not apply and that
there was a vast difference between
the rights of a school teacher who had
suent years OF his life TO qualify him
self to teach and a public officer who
had received his Office by appointment.
