Fluctuations Not Understood.

Fluctuations in the raw silk market
are unsettling to the peace OF mind OF
the industry. and the question which
looms up large in the trade is what
these fluctuations point to in the way of
after the war prices.
1t is charged in some quarters that
the fluctuations are more or less artlii-
cial. being swayed by large interests in
Japan. the supply being so closely held
that manipulators can easily manage
the market Others claim that they are
the natural outcome OF changing eco

There Is No Specific Statute
Defining Liability of School
Districts Courts Favor
Teacher.
NEED NOT REMAIN IN DISTRICT
Not Necessary That Time Lost By
Epidemic Shall Be Made Up to
Allow District to Share in the
Distribution of Funds.

That the courts of the various states
have uniformly held that teachers who
are prevented from teaching on account
of the school being closed by the order
of the school board or board of health
in term time on account of the preva-
lenee of a contagious disease are en-
titled to their wages for such time, pro-
vided the teachers were ready and will
ing to carry out their part of the
contract, although there IS no specific
statute defining the liability of the
school board, is the decision which has
been given the County Superintendent
r. L. Cundy by State Superintendent
C. P. Cary. In his letter to the county
superintendent the state superintendent
says:
There is no statute specifically de-
filming the liability of school districts
for the wages Of teachers who are pre-
vented from teaching school on the
account of school being closed by the
order of the local school board or by
the board of health during term time
on account of the prevalence of con-
tagious disease. The courts of the vari-
GUS states have uniformally held, how
ever, in such eases that the teachers
can collect their wages when school
is closed during term time by the order
of the proper authorities on account of
the prevalence of a contagious disease
in the district, provided the teachers
were ready and willing at all times to
render the services for which they had
contracted and provided further, there
is nothing in the contract which the
teachers hold with the school board to
the effect that the district shall be
freed from liability in such cases. IT
is not necessary that teachers shall
remain in the district during the time
schools are closed on account of the
presence Of contagious disease, pro-
vided the school board is informed as
to the whereabouts Of such teachers, so
they may, with reasonable effort, noti-
fly the teachers of the date of the re-
opening of school.
6 Where school is closed for such a
reason it is not necessary that the
time so lost be made up in order chat
the school district may share in the
distribution of the public funds in case
it should occur that the school was for
that reason not maintained the legal
number of school months during the
year. The clerk should accompany his
annual report to the county superin-
tendent with a statement under oath,
setting forth the reasons why the
school was not maintained the lawful
number Of months. If the school was
taught at least three months during
the year and the failure to have it
maintained for the remaining five
months required by law was occasioned
by forces beyond the control Of the
board, the state superintendent is
privileged to apportion aid to such dis
tricts as though the school was main
tanned for at least eight months. y
