Protest Made

Alta called meeting of the Roy
Board of Education held Tuesday
evening to make out the Budget
for the coming school year, a ra-
ther interesting session was held
A delegation of twenty-five or
more business men and citizens
of the town and district attended
the meeting and through their
spokesman Attorney Lusk asked
the board to reconsider the ac-
ton at which Prof. R. L. Kreig-
baum was elected Principal for
the coming year. This action
was taken by members of last
years board prior to the School
election and under conditions to
indicate intent to slip one over
on the present board and much
dissatisfaction has resulted as
Mr.. Kreigbaum,s 5 administration
has not been popular.
After a fair presentation of the
cause Of the patrons, consider
able oratorical fireworks during
the delegation was designated
"Clodhoppers' and their intelli-
gence and integrity questioned
by one of the board members.
A motion to reconsider the ac-
ton Of the board got a tie vote
and the president cast the decid-
ing vote to reconsider. A siren
uous attempt to exclude the pa
irons was voted down and anoth-
er motion that Mr.. Kreigbaum be
notified of the action and request
ed to be present at meeting to
be held Thursday evening May
10Th, to which meeting the citi-
zens of Roy are also invited,
to futher discuss the matter of
=
his reelection as Principal.
1t is to be hoped this matter
will be adjusted amicably and the
board may be able to secure a
Principal who will be acceptable
to the patrons of the School. AS
matters stand now, the schools
of Roy which, for years hav e
been the pride of the town and
from which many graduates are
already riaking their influence
felt in the world, are on the de-
cline and will continue so until
they are administered in a mod
ern manner by a man who can
bring inspiration as well as mod
ern methods to it.
The next meeting will be inter
esting and many believe it would
be better to lose the sum Of
money threatened if they make
a change rather than lese anoth-
er school year for the children
of the Roy High School.
All the other teachers have
been reelected by the new
Board for the coming year for
the Primary and intermediate
grades and their reelection has
given general satisfaction to the
patrons,
