D|CKEYS DECISION IN
THE CASE Of THE BROWNS

the status of teacher.
Regulation Is co provides that
the Department shall give notice to
teachers whose work has fallen be-
low standard, that unless their work
shows satisfactory improvement be-
fore the end Of the year, their re-
appointment may not be rccom-
mended. Such notice shall be Is
sued prior to the meeting of the
Commissioners, at which appoint
ments are made, for the ensuing
school year. This is Il mischievous
and deceitful regulation if it is to
be interpreted to mean that only
the teacher below standard is to
have notice that he is to be super
scdcd by Il better one and that the
teacher up to standard may he su-
perSedGd without notice. Yet this
is the Interpretation that respond
ents' general argument calls for. |
do not SO interpret the regulation.
| think that by necessarily impli-
cation it gives the teacher up to
standard a right to a rcappoint-
ment.
Section 10A renders a teacher IL
BILE to summary dismissal for alb
sence without permission; Section
9 enumerates five grounds on which
teacher may be dismissed from
the service for cause after hearing
Of the case, and also that he may
be dismissed from the Department
whenever, after hearing, it shall
appear to the Department that such
dismissal will be for the benefit of
the Department" "
None of these sections refer to
any contract. They are evidently
not intended merely to give the De-
partment the right to terminate a
contract with a teacher before its
regular expiration, for any breach OF
a teachers cOntractual duties. 4
regulation would b t unnecessary
for any such purposes, as this could
and would naturally be done by
provisions of the contract itself. /
hold that these regulations refer not
to breaches of contract, but to SER
vice and status of a teacher. Like
Rule &, they are most peculiar rcgu-
lations, ii intended to provide no.
tice only to those whose dismissal
is for cause or for the benefit of the
Department, and leave those whose
dismissal is not for the benefit of
the Department liable to dismissal
from service without notice.
Regulation l provides that the
Department shall appoint such
teachers and principals as may be
deemed necessary and consistent
with the laws, rules and regulations
relating to public schools, such APP
pointment if not made for definite
period to continue during the plea
sure Of the Department. Regular
contracts are issued to duly ccrtif-
Gated teachers, whose reports dur
ing the preceding year, show an
average Of or above the passing mark
of eighty per cent.
The provision is not that the ap-
pointmcnt shall cease at the plea
sure of the Department., but shall
continue at such pleasure. I'm con-
nection with the other regulations,
| interpret this not as intended to
reserve the right to discharge at any
time, but a. intended to create a
position OF teacher that shall be
/ permanent under the rules and regu-
lations Of the Department. The ac-
! companying rules and regulations
, show the teaching force what the
pleasure or policy OF the Depart

Washington, Feb. 3.-PresIdent VIII

session of congress. outlining the
events that led up to the diplomatic
break with Germany. He said:
"To the congress. February 8. 1917.
Gentlemen Of the Congress:

the sinking on the oath OF March of
the cross Channel passenger steamer
Sussex by German submarine, with
out summons or warning, and the CON
sequent loss OF the lives Of several

were passengers aboard her. this gov

made the following declarations;
''If It still be the purpose of the i'm

use OF submarines without regard TO
what the government of the United

the United States is at last forced TO
the conclusion that there is but one
course it can pursue Unless the i'm
perial government should now and i'm

Ten Billions in Coal

The Nenana coal fields, Alaska. will
be tributary TO the government rail-
road now under construction from
Seward to Fairbanks. Though the coal
in this field is Ignite. and hence of
low grade, yet 1t has great value as a
source of fuel and power for Fairbanks
and other Yukon placer camps. The
field is about sixty miles south of
Fairbanks. 1t is estimated by the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior, that the Ne
mana field contains some ten billion
tons of ignite. The Nenana coal field
lies in what is known as the Bonni-
field region. which also contains some
gold placers that have been mined in
small way for the last ten years.
