From an original feeling of opposi-

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
GIRLS FORCE MRS.
DARST TO QUIT JOB
Superintendent s Brief Career
Has Been One Of Constant
Turmoil

Girls at the Industrial School, As
in number rebelled Monday morning
and forced the resignation of Mrs.
Minnie Darst, superintendent.
The womans advisory board consist.
| ing of Mrs. Lola G, Baldwin, Mrs.
Aristene Felts of Portland, and Mrs.
Mollie Davey of Salem was hastily
called by Superintendent Darst and
was in session all Monday afternoon
and until late at night. Mrs. Baldwin
remained all night at the institution
and talking to the girls finally got
them under control Mrs. Darst, on the
assembling of the board, rendered her
resignation which was accepted, and
Mrs. Margaret L. Mann, an employe
was made acting superintendent. The
trouble has been brewing some time
ever sincee Mrs. Darst took charge and
it reached its climax Monday, when
the girls openly defied her.
During the eight months of Mrs.
Darst s incumbency there have been
10 designations of employees, and as
only six are regularly employed this
means there has been continuing
change of the force, and this helped
the resulting rebellion to materiaIize.
The school is now short handed having
but four employees, and it is understood
two Of these have rendered their res
ignations.
Mrs. Darst was brought from Cali
fornia to take charge of the school,
which is the only state institution
where state officials do not retain full
supervision. The board of control has
final authority but the management
is left to the board appointed by the
governor.
While the rebellion has been active
since Monday, nothing was known of
it outside of the institution until yes
terday afternoon when the advisory
board reported the matter to members
of the board of control. Whether the
of Mrs Mann is to be
made permanent or a new superintend-
emit appointed, has not yet been de-
eided.
