At the annual school meeting in dis.
trlct 53 there was wonderful lily large
crowd out and great interest was taken
In the business coming before the
voters and we are very much pleased to
say that everything went off smoothly.
Every motion was carried except one
without dissenting vote, that was
when 1t was proposed to nave but six
months of school; on this question the
house was evenly divided, but after
some parleying it was found that no
agreement could be reached and the
matter was left to arbitration which
resulted in compromise by which the
board can employ a teacher for six
months with the privilege OF making
it seven if they have sufficient funds to
pay the salary. The director and clerk
composed the whole crowd all the rest
of the patrons of the district seemed
satisfied TO let them attend to the bust
ness. AT the meeting in HaZelton they
had much better showing, more in
terest was taken. b. l.. Drake was
elected clerk and D. O. Edwards hav-
ing had all the glory he could stand, re-.
signed his Office of treasurer and M. O..
Cayanaugh was elected treasurer.
Later, after the close of the meeting at
district SO it was learned that the big
crowd had made mistake in cleo ting
w. III. Robinson clerk, as he absolutely
refused to serve, hence it may become
necessary for the director and the old
clerk TO have another meeting to finish
nm their work
