1t is not crime to neglect public
school duty. At least H. f. Riker,
chairman of the Worth township
Boone county, school board, need
not serve as its head IL he does not
care to. The county attorney has
ordered the case dismissed, holding
that while Riker was amenable under
the civil laws he could not be held
under the criminal statutes. Riker
had refused to serve as chairman of
the school board in any capacity,
claiming he had not the time to de-
vote to the office and that he never
sought the place. Efforts to induce
him to occupy the Craftsmanship and
make the work of the board legal
proved futile until resource was had
to the courts and he was held on the
charge of neglect of duty.
