CORRECTIONS MADE BY THE
SCHOOL BOARD

Adverse comment has been
made in me of the newspap-
ers of the state upon All allie ged
resolution of the Board of Edu-
cation of Wahpeton prohibiting
teachers participating in poll
teal campaigns. We know not
whence the story came, or why
it should have attracted any
attention, but the fact is it's
promulgators are mistaken. No
such action was ever taken. At
a meeting of the board few
days after election the matter
of active participation of Seach-
ers of the city schools in the
late election was informally
discussed with reference to
whether it might not tend to
lessen the teachers influence
in the school room. or ALLEVIATE
the regard of the children and
parents whose political SYM
patty might differ from those
of the teachers.
The opinion of the board was
unanimous that no good could
come to the schools from such
a campaign as had just passed
but that the incident being
over, no action was either ne
lcessary or desirable. 1t was al.
90 the general opinion that no
just criticism could be aimed
at the teachers for the part they
had taken, they having but fol-
lowed the custom pursued with.
