Especial to The Republican,
Brigham City, Dec. 22.-When the high
school opens after the holidays. three
new members will appear on the faculty
while three of the old members viii stei
out The reason for the change in the
middle of a school year is alleged to be
due 10 the fact that the present faculty
is out of harmony with each other. The
teachers who will leave the school are
Miss Florence Compton, ". 7. Day and
II. Z. Smith. 1t appears that there has
been "a lack Of harmony ever since the
opening of school last fall, and little of
this condition If any, was known to the
board of education until about four weeks
ago, when these three teachers appeared
before the hoard with an ultimatum ask
ing for the release of the principal. A. l.
Neff, or they would resign.
The board then took up the matter with
the teachers and finally succeeded in get
ting them to go back Things failed to
run smoothly, however, and il became
evident that a change in the faculty was
neCc ssary for the good of the school, I'm
mediately Messrs. Day and Smith were
notified that their services would be dis
pensed with after the close Of the school
for the holiday recess and Professor Neff
will step out Of the principalship, but viii
be maintained as a member of the fac
ulty.
The board has secured the services of
Professor A NJ. Merrell of Logan, who
will be the new principal. The place made
vacant by Mr. Day will be filled by Z.
V Gordon. also of Logan, while Ralph r.
WOCiiey is the third teacher engaged.
