HARPER CASE GOES
OVER ON THIRD DAY
in RECORD COURT

In the case Of Harper VS.. the Board
of Public instruction, A. w. Ranney
stated that Prof. Harper had in
formed the supervisors that conditions
in the school were almost beyond his
control, and in response to such repre-
sensations, Mr.. Ranney said, he made
one or more trips during the Harper
regime. On one occasion, during
recitation period in Prof. Harper's
room, it was claimed, some confusion
was occasioned by a youth, in the
class room, and sitting quite near the
professor, initiating with his arms
a country fiddler" a proceeding at
which the professor himself could not
repress laughter. Other matters of
record were told of by Mr.. Ranney,
all tending to give one the impression
that some of the larger boys, "and
girls, too" he said, carried on merry
old inks at times. After the sue
cession of Prof. Harper by the other
instructor, Mr.. Ranney stated, the
discipline twas fine, great improve
ment."
This witness also recited what led
up to the action of Prof. Harper in
leaving the school. On one occasion,
it was stated, after a recital of the
discipline, witness said, it was sug-
gested to the professor to use cor
poral punishment, to bring about dis
cipline, and the teacher said that it
was against the law. 1t was then
suggested that the state law did not
prohibit 1t, and that the state law
might take precedence over those laws
laid down in the curriculum. Upon
that suggestion, it was stated, Prof.
Harper informed witness that one
patron had let it be known if his
children were punished, he would get
gun and hunt up the teacher. The
suggestion was then made that such
a party was subject to arrest, when
Prof. Harper remarked that che was
more afraid of a gun in the hands
of fool than that in the hands of
a sensible man." or something to that
effect, which caused some of the jury
men to laugh heartily.
The case will be continued today,
and it is expected viii go to the jury
during the afternoon. Mr.. Ranney
sits with Judge Francis B. Carter,
attorney for the board of instruction,
advising the counsel on many points,
and the plaintiff is represented by
John S. Beard. A number of specta-
tors heard the proceedings at length
during Yesterdays hearing.
