The two Gentlemen Who We're Fail
ed by MIR. LongbOn IN two Ex-
nn,ina tions Get Five Year Ccrti-
Icatcs.

Mcssrs. r. T.. Bolandcr and A. n.
Carmine. two of the men who have
been employed by the board of cdu-
cation and stationed as principals, by
Superintendent II. A. Hartman, after
having had varied experiences with
one member of the board OF city
school examiners have put over a ten
strike which will settle for all time
their capabillty to teach in the schools
of the city and i'm doing this they
have justified Mr.. Hartman in making
the recommendation that they be em-
ployed and the members of the school
board who voted to adopt the recon-
mendation of the superintendent.
The history of the affair in which
Mr.. Bolander and Mr.. Carmine have
been mixed, Is too well known to re-
quire a lengthy rehearsal. 1t will be
remembered that these two gentle
men took an examination before the
city board of examiners and failed In
history and literature, two OF the
branches in which w. a. Longbon
examined. but received most credita-
able grades in all other branches.
Then they took the county eXamina-
ton and received grades which on
titled them to three years certificates.
Then they took another examination
before the city board and failed again
in branches in which Mr.. LOngbon
examined. They then made applica-
ton for certificates on the grades
which they had secured In the county
examination. The majority of the
board of examiners granted this re-
quest and issued one-year certificates.
Their employment by the city board
of education upon the recommended
tion of MIR. Hartman followed, but at
the time a member of the school board
who opposed their being employed
commented upon the impropriety of
employing men principals who held
only one-year certificates.
In order to convince their friends.
members of the school board aud the
citizens of Marion that they had been
unjustly dealt with and that they were
qualified to teach I'm the schools, Mr..
Bolander and Mr.. Carmine went to
Bucyrus. last Saturday and took the
examination given by the board of ex-
aminers for that city. This eNamin-
ing board Is composed of the super
intendent of the Bucyrus schools. the
principal of the High school and an
ex-High school principal.
The returns from this examination
were received this morning and 1t Is
shown that each secured an average
grade better than ninety per cent. and
each was awarded n fve-year certifi-
cate
The schools of Bucyrus have the
same rating with the colleges and uni
versities as the Marion schools and
the school officials in Marion are
bound to recognize the diplomas which
are issued by the Bucyrus board Of
examiners.
1t is the belief that this move upon
the part of Mr.. Bolander and Mr.. Car
mine should settle In the minds of all
as TO whether or not they are quail
fled to teach In the Marion schools.
1t might be stated In this connec-
ton that the Bucyrus board of exam
iners requires the applicant to take an
examination in music and drawing
These branches are not required to
be taught by the teacher I'm the Ma
rion schools and had IL not been for
these two branches Mr.. Carmine and
Mr.. Bolander would have received
eight-year instead of five-year certitl-
