and cherished.
The spirit of reverence for
our flag should be encouraged,
and to promote this, |, Ear

Teachers Outside of County
Will Not Be Accepted
in the Faculty.
Mr.. FRlERsoM AND MISS PEyTOn TALK
Verbal Reports and Explana.
tions From Superintendent
and Teachers.

The trustees of the local pub
lie schools met in the Office of
the superintendent of education
Thursday afternoon to adjust the
school matter which for the last
two weeks has been past under
standing.
The meeting was opened by
Supt. S. M. Nash. and upon mo-
tion the actions of the former
meeting held several weeks ago
were rescinded. Upon motion
of Mr.. W. N. Pickett. seconded
by Mr.. w. C. Gunter. it was de-
cided that in the future no teach.
ers outside of the county would
be accepted in the faculty. An
amendment offered by Mr.. j. T.
Searcy stating that this resolu.
ton would not go into effect
within one year was not accepted.
AS was stated some time ago
in the columns of this paper four
teachers were dropped from the
faculty of Franklin Academy ap-
parently without reason-the
only explanation given forth to
the public being that their sppli.
cations were not in. AS a mat
ter of fact their applications were
in, but were overlooked by the
superintendent of the city
schools, W. V. Frierson.
Acting upon the advice of her
brother. Capt. E. G. Peyton,
who could not be here to repre-
sent her before the board. Miss
Mary Lou Peyton asked to be
present at the meeting to state
her case in the presence of the
superintendent. Her statement
to the board was to this effect:
"On Thursday, May the seventh.
the Superintendent called a gen.
eral meeting of his faculty at
which time the members were
told to put in their applications
within the following week. The
next day, Miss Peyton stated,
her mind was diverted from the
subject of applications, because
of the loss of her examination

dent. The eleventh grade his
tory examination was to be the
following Monday, and with the
questions lost she was consider.
ably upset. Monday was the
day of the examination; SO il
was not until noon on Tuesday
of the following week that Miss
Peyton's application was written
and handed in. 1t was not placed
in the hands of the superinten.
dent. because at noon he was
usually on the grounds. Wher
applications weresfrst mentioned
to the teachers, they asked te
whom their communications were
to be addressed whether to hin
or secretary of the board. HI
answered by saying that if not
handed to him they might b,
left in the Office. Mr.. Frierson',
secretary went with Miss Pey
ton to show her where to put he

was made clear to the Lo2rd an,

found that so many pupils had
failed under one teacher and
that feeling it his duty as Super.
intendent he investigated the
matter and decided that the
papers had been to strictly grad
ed. He showed that teacher
wherein he thought she had
been too exacting, but she could
not see the matter his way when
he said that something must be
done-the grades were changed.
The lady teachers of the high
school through the Superinten-
dent asked for the board meet
ing. Mr.. Frierson stated that as
superintendent he felt that he
had the right to do what had
been done and that he did not
wish the meeting. He stated
that the board upheld him, and
after that meeting he said that
| If the lady teachers had wished
their positions they would have
come in person to him and ap.
piled at the same time declaring
their loyal support through
another year. He also stated
that at a meeting of the trustees
in April he had said he would
not recommend the re election of
the lady teachers of the high
school and the board had agreed
to uphold him in this act. He
also quoted a boy who. he said,
had been found guilty of getting
help illegally. This boy told
him of how some of the children
we're rejecting upon his, the
superintendents honesty, or
rather the motives that had
prompted him in some of his
actions. The insinuation was
that teachers had helped to in.
spire in the pupils such feelings
After this, Mss Peyton was
again heard from. She assured
the board that under no circum.
stances would she have asked tt
appear before the board had she
known of the April meeting ol
the board of trustees. She hae
been told that she failed for re.
election because her application
was not in, as was the case will
the other teachers. She ther
asked to know just why the su.
perintendent had not recon-
mended the reelection of th'
lady teachers-the friction. sh'
said, was not friction due t,
disloyalty but to a misunder
standing. That matter was ad
justed by the board of trustee,
at their meeting in February a
which time the teachers mad
known their intention to abid
by the decision Of the board
which they have done.
In answer to that query tn
superintendent stated that i
his recommendation he was acl
ing for what he thought to be fo
the good of Franklin Academy
