No FRICTION OVER
 EMPLOYING TEACHERS

A mistaken idea has got abroad in some quarters that the Juneau school board hired both Prof. R. R. Bell and Prof Enoch Perkins for the same DO sitiOn in the school. The fact is that Prof. Perkins was not able through no fault of his, to leave for the North for 10 days after he had agreed to come, and that Prof. Bell was hired for the position that Prof. Perkins had thus forfeited. The latter came North, however. at the earliest opportunity, trusting to luck to secure a place. It was decided by the school board that another teacher was required to do the work that it desired should be done, and Prof. Perkins was engaged. There is and has been no friction over the matter at all
