Make the Record Public!

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the case of Miss Alice Wood. the
suspended school teacher. would 1t not
be well If our board of education were
(who include the parents of the chill
dren attending the public schools)
into its confidence, and let them know
upon what it bases it's : ,tion in sus-
pending Miss Wood? theirs is the
paramount interest in the case.
In the statement given out by the
board of education, which appeared
in The Star Of Wednesday. it is al
legged that the action Of the school
board was based entirely ION Miss
Woods written statements as sub
mitted by DR.. Newton, and on the re-
port just above referred to OF her
was that of two members of the
board who, it appears. questioned
Miss Wood regarding her alleged ut
terances.
Now, with all due regard to the
members of our school board, in so
important matter as this are we not
dence on which the members of the
board based their action? Consider
our situation: We do not know what
Miss Wood said. We do not know
what the parents reported she said
(having- only. what the board calls a
properly summarize). Finally, we do
not know what the two members of
the board asked Miss Wood. or what
her answers were, although we are
told that this was made the basis for
the action taken. The case, then. SIM
mers down to this: We are asked to
accept the boards judgment. without
knowing what if any. pertinent facts
were elected as the result Of the ex-
animation instituted for the purpose
of determining Miss Woods guilt or
innocence. We only know that the
answers she gave were apparently
deemed unsatisfactory by the school
board Therefore, while columns of
matter have appeared in the press re-
garding the case. we are in the dark
on the one real essential to the forma-
ton of a proper judgment thereon,
namely, what was the evidence on
which the board of education based
it's action? GEORGE A. WARREN.

TEACHERS TO TAKE
CASE INTO COURT
Will Ask Mandamus Set
ting Aside Boards Action
Affecting Miss Wood.

The High School Teachers Union
will go to the District Supreme Court
probably next week. in an effort to
force the board of education to re-
scind it's action in suspending Miss
on a charge of indiscreet discussion
Of current topics in class.
Paul f. Lesh, counsel for the union,
explained today that two courses are
open to Miss Wood. She can institute
mandamus proceedings asking the
court to set aside the boards suspen-
sion on the ground that the law was
not followed, or she can sue for re-
covery of her salary for the period of
suspension. 1t was indicated the first
course probably would be followed.
Replies to Board.
Mr. Lesh took exception to the
boards statement that Miss Wood
made no appeal from the order sus-
THE president Of the board in his
reply to the teachers unions. as pub
lshed in The Star OF yesterday. calls
attention to the fact that Miss Wood
action. He also. in effect, suggests
that the Teachers have a remedy by
court action to determine whether the
boards position is we'll taken;
'In this connection let me call atten-
ton to the fact that there is no appeal
from actions of the Districts board OF
education How Miss Wood could have
appealed, the boards president does not
explain.
I'm other Jurisdictions, as, for ex-
ample. in New York, the actions of
boards Of education are reviewed by the
commissioner Of education. to whose
office appeals are taken much as ap-
peals are taken from trial courts to
courts OF appeal
"I have advised the unions and Miss
Wood that the boards action can be
reviewed in two ways-by court ac-
tion, challenging the power Of the
board to proceed as it did, inasmuch
as they did not follow the procedure
of the statute and their own rules,
written to secure to accused teachers
a fair hearing, and, second. by induc-
ing a reversal of the boards action by
1.-THE public should know, therefore.
that the only question which we can
bring before the court is whether the
board had the power to proceed as it
did / am of opinion that the board
exceeded it's power and deprived Miss
Wood Of the fair trial intended by the
statute to be secured to her, and that
the courts will so hold"

the reason why the timothy kills out 10
because the nurse crop takes all the
water away from the rather shallow
rooted young timothy plant. For that
reason 1t is often necessary to clip the

would be much more profitable for you

the seed fairly thick at the rate of
about 20 pounds per acre. II the weeds
come up too thick, run the mower over
at about 6 inches and clip them back.

Prof. Fl. L. Walster. in chnrge Of

Agricultural college, answers. as fol-
lows:
II note that you have been having
rather poor success for getting a
stand of Timothy. This is not at all
surprising for the Timothy plant is not

EARLY OHIO: Round, oblong, or
oval, pink or flesh cOlOred, early pota-
to; suitable for u wide variety of
soils. The most common variety in
North Dakota, for which there is also
a good market, especially for seed In
the southern states. 1t is very liable
to tip burn and is not as disease resks-
tant as some of the other varieties. 1t
is consistent and fair yielder.
IRISH COBBLER: Is rountiish,
creamy white early potato. The eyes
are usually deep and the stem end
often depressed. The vines are vigor-
Gus spreading and produce pink flow
ers. II should not be grown on very
heavy soils. There is u good market
for this variety for seed and table
purposes. 1t has proved to be capable
Of withstanding unfavorable climatic
conditions very well. Because of its
high yielding quality it should be given
careful trial by commercial growers.
Care should be taken to secure pota-
toes true to the variety. Irish Cobbler
potato seed stocks very generally have
tubers that produce white Powered
plants, which are Of course not true
to type.
RURAL NEW YORKER: A roun-
dish, fiat late white potato. 1t is a
good keeper OF fine quality, very popu-
: lar throughout the United States and
generally considered good yielder,
tho 1t has not generally yielded very
well In the North Dakota trials. The
flowers are purple. Plants grow up
right with purple markings on the
stems. There is q good market for
this variety as table stock.
GREEN MOUNTAINS: Il an blong,
fiat, late white potato. 1t produces
large, vigorous green vines producing
white flowers. tits adapted to q wide
+ range of soils, though 1t should not be
grown on very heavy soils. Together
with the Irish CObbler 1t has been the
best yielding variety In the trials. Az

further consideration. f.g
Preferably one and not more than
two varieties should be grown by any
