4 communication was read from Mr..
Peter LoOs, a patron OF the Kendrick

teacher al Kendrick was teaching his
children the Sunday school lesson and
he seriously objected to his children
being taught any Scripture in the pub
lie schools. Mr.. LOOs asked that the

that he had twice requested the teach
er not to teach the Sunday school les
son in school 50 long as any patron
objected.

board said organ and the county
board had no authority to accept such
offer without the consent of patrons
now in the school who contributed to-
wards the purchase of the organ.

the board and asked that the board
sell 10 Mrs. Smith. of Martel, the old
Martel school house and lot. claiming

decided back to James Cribbett. who
gave il as soon as the house on the
land can be disposed of. the secretary
was instructed 10 refer the matter
back to the trustees as il was for
