of the Nevada Industrial School are
aot in complete harmony. As mat
Ter of fact perfect harmony prevails
At the recent meeting here OF the
board. there was some question as to
the authority of the superintendent In
making selections Of teachers. The
act creating the institution seems TO
vest him. with such authority, and
II appearB that he had made appoint
ments for the coming school term, The
board had also acted upon an applfea-
ton for teacher, and the members had
decided to appoint n manager for the
boys. When the question OF authority
came up superintendent Kyle decided
TO resign, but he was strongly urged
by the members Of the board to re-
main, as the splendid work he has
done for the school is generally recog.
niSed. Mr.. Kyle rendered his resigna.
tion, but a satisfactory. understanding
