There is an element of novelty in
the new system Of exchanging teach
efs between Harvard and four smaller
Western colleges. According to the

Colorado. Grinnell College in Iowa.
Knox College in Illinois. and Beloit
College in Wisconsin, Professor AL
bert Bushnell Hart. Of the history de-
partment in Harvard, is to begin op-

In return, each of the Western insti-
tutions is 10 send every Year one of
its younger instructors to Cambridge,
here he will teach and also have op-
rortunities granted for research work.

one exchange professor. No doubt
President Lowell has reasons OF his

that would appeal most strongly to the

superintendent Hartman OF the
public schools, and all members of
the board Of education are rather in
censed at an unauthorized and abso
lutely baseless story published in a
local paper, explaining "a big shake
up In the Marion public schools is
scheduled" 1t is related with great
circumstances that number OF
end of the school year; that they "are
not to be fired but they will be given
he signal to resign"
The story has had the effect of ada
ng much worry to the Already multi.
udinous troubles of the teachers and
is on their account that the board
members censure the publication Of:
IN absolutely unfounded story.
The impression was created that
many of the old teachers were TO b,
yeeded out. that this wedding out
process would be sweeping in its ac.
ion etc. At meeting Of the board
asst night, each and every member
tented absolutely, and individually,
hat he had authorized such a re-
ort or committed himself in any
manner as represented.
Superintendent Hartman who was
described as "the man behind the
run" disposed of the report by the
simple remark, Its the basest kind
If a fabrication and absolutely un-
warranted"
Member o. @. Briggs says, "Its a
Inc dream. / don't care much about
il, only | hate to think that the
eachers viii have this added to
their other troubles"
Member Fred E. CUTLERY declared
hat he knew nothing OF such a move
nent and IL the other members OF
he board contemplated such action,
hey were Keeping the matter
secret from him.
Clerk Hill. stated that he had CIV
out no such information, of course
IL was TO be expected there would
be a few changes, but nothing ap-
proachlng what might by any stretch
IF the Imagination be called a
'shake-up."
Member Jacoby laughed when ask
ed about the published story and dis
posed of 1t with that good, old
staple jocularity, ut must have been
a dun day for the reporter. Not a
word of such an intention has been
mentioned to me or by me-
Member Dlckerson claimed that he
had not given out any such infor-
nation and knew nothing about IT,
Member Pennell was not seen by
the Mirror, but at last nights meet
ing of the board, he declared that he
had given out no such information
and knew of no such plan.
Wherefore, the "shake-up" vanish
es into thin air of which 1t was whol
ly composed.

Whether or not the teachers I'm
the Marion public schools will re-
ceive pay for the week when the
regular vacation was extended be-
cause Of the small pox malady,
and also the time during which the
three schools in the western part OF
the city were closed, has not been
decided by the members of the board
OF education. This was the subject
most discussed at a called meeting
|held in the Law office of Jacoby and
Donithen Wednesday evening
The April salaries have not been
paid the teachers as yet and will
be held up until the question is de
cided. 1t all depends on how the reso
luton adopted by the board when
the teachers were employed last
year, Is wOrded and that resolution
could not be found last night. Clerk
Hill was instructed to look up the
matter and report TO the board as
soon as possible.
If the resolution states that the
teachers were hired to teach the
school year OF nine and one-hnlr
months, the board viii he compelled
TO pay them for the time they were
idle. If the resolution reads other
wise, the board is under no Obliga-
ton to pay for the time during which
school was not in session. This is
one side of the question. Some
members are inclined to think that
according TO law, the board will be
Ia. H..
OF the resolution. Clerk Hin was not
prepared to make report of the
wording of the resolution this after
noon. A meeting will be held soon to
decide the matter.
Several details in the construction
of the new buildings were taken IN
The board confirmed the selection OF
the brick, which will be used in the
erection of the buildings, made by
the members of the buildings and
ground committee. Members O. @.
Briggs, T.. f.. CUTLERY and II. j..
Pennell composed the committee. The
Warren B. Ferris Brick company
of Columbus were the successful bid
ders. The contract price is $l2 per
thousand. This means a saving OF 81
per thousand on the brick used in
the structures, as the bid of w. C
Handshy of GAINESVILLE, called for
brick TO cost $l3 This money will
be refunded the board when the con-
tract price is paid for the two build
ngs.
The board is receiving bids on the
house which is located on the lot on
the corner of Greenwood and Mark
Mark street which was purchased
from David Vestal, Bids of 5000, S21O,
and 1925 have been received.
The board spent the remaining time
discussing the teachers they will en-
ploy next year but refuse to make
public the result of this part of the
meeting.
