The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1911-07-11


Not teacher was elected at the
meeting OF the board of education
held in the High school building Mon
day night although several attempts
at election were made. The board
seems to be hopelessly split and ac-
cordng to one faction the matter of
electing teachers will undoubtedly be
left to the county commissioners, a
measure which is provided for by
law
All members were present and at
the opening, transacted regular busi-
ness. Estimates were allowed the
Lenler and Bland contract. the Amer
ican Warming. Heating and Ventila-
ting companys contract for furnaces
which II is to Install and Architect
Merrot and Allen contract. Bills
amounting to about 500 we're also al
lowed.
School Examiner Longbon present
ed bill OF $6 which he claims Is due
him for services rendered In an eX-
animation held some time ago and
for the typewritlng of list of ques-
tions which he claims the board or
dered copied at that time. The bill
was refused. Members Jacoby, Pennel
and Briggs voting no"
Clerk HiIl Persistent.
Clerk II. t. Hill did his best to hit
upon some scheme by which the teach
ers might be elected but his efforts
were futile. when the matter of elect
ing teachers came up. he moved that
an grade teachers recommended by
n. hg oil
Guiding Miss Emma Cunningham. on
this motion. Members Jacoby Pen
mel and Briggs voted no Dlckerson
passed" and CUTLERY and Hin voted
yes" 3or
Hill next moved that all the prin-
cipals nominated BY DR. Hartman be
elected, this time excluding a. N. Car
mine This motion was declared out
of order by President JaGoby and no
vote taken. Jacoby said that his rea-
son for declaring the motion out Of
order was that the law states, that no
new teachers can be elected until the
old ones, have been elected lor CON
sidered.
Hill went, still further in his NOV
ing. \ motion WHICH was more in the
form of "a ispggestion, was made 10
the effect, that, pr. Hartman nominate
ali old principals except Carmine, This
motion received no secppd and Of
course was lost At this point Hill
made himself clear as to the way
he was in favor Of voting, He said.
81 am perfectly willing to vote for all
grade teachers nominated by DR.
Hartman except Miss Emma Cunning
ham and all old principals except a.
n. Carmine.'
Member CUTLERY stated that he had
| intended TO vote for Carmine aud
Bolander up to the time he learned
of the manner In which these two
teachers secured their certificates In
| Columbus at the last state teachers
examination. The certificates were
for life. II seems that the two prin-
cipals were only examined In theory
and practice at Columbus and that
the grades they made at an eNamina-
tion held in Bucyrus last year were
added to their certificates and they
received certificate for life from the
state examiner CUTLERY said II don't
think much of the Bucyrus examina-
| ton"
Dickerson would not vote for Car
mine and Boander but would vote
for the rest of the teachers which have
! been nominated.
/ May BE Left To Commissioners.
, At this juncture of the meeting
iPenncl stated that the election of
teachers would go to the county COM
missioners To this remark. Dlcker-
son exclaimed in sort of a slang
| phrase, TAKE II TO the commission
ers, | don't care. | don't propose to
have anyone shove a teacher down
my throat" Continuing, he said. 81
am perfectly willing to go through
the list beginning at the top and set
ting out names Of teachers objected
to and vote on the remainder" The
proposition of electing teachers was
dropped at this point.
Following a suggestion by DR.. Hart
man which he made in his report at
the last meeting OF the board pri-
mary supervisor for the primary
grades was fayorably discussed. All
members were In favor of such SUI
pervisor, providing the right kind OF
a teacher could be employed, DR..
Hartman was instructed TO hnd out
the approximate cost OF a teacher to
act in this capacity.
Principal n. X. Marshall was elect
ed for one year Member Cutlery
thought the election OF a teacher for
two years was Illegal and, as Marshall
had been elected for that length of
time, il was thought best to comply
with the law and reelect him as prln-
cipal of the High school for the com
ing year
In the American beague, where the
owners have pleasing way of back
ing up President Johnson In anything
he does, there hasn't been an umpire
killed this season. Interesting, but
duh.
