CARRYING OUT CONTRACTS.

In recent issues Of The Courier we
have editorially referred to tho
carrying out Of contracts with, or
meeting obligations to, the teachers
by the trustees Of the various school
districts. Our attention has been
called to the fact that there are no
contracts between trustees and
teachers. the latter being employed
merely for session or q term Of
months to teach school, or to super
intend the operation Of such and
such a school.
Evidently, then. there is some
thing wrong with the system in
vogue IN the matter of carrying on
our public schools. The trustees
should be obligated to the teachers
and superintendent, and the teach
,rs and superintendents should be
obligated to the trustees each to
perform certain duties-the trustees
in the matter Of compensation, the
teachers and superntendents in the
i'hItcl VI lcHucIiUS value leCe1Scu
in the form OF adequate and efficient
service for the compcnSa ton to be
radc by the trustees from the pub
lie funds.
There should be no objection on
the part OF either trustees or teach
rrS to such system Of contracts.
which should set forth the amount
10 be received by the teacher for Il
certain service. the terms to be plain
~ and Enthusiastically set out in the
contract or written agreement. The
teacher who accepts employment in
the school room Is entitled to the
protection that Il written contract as
HurcS; the trustees who employ the
teachers are entitled to the assur-
ancc that the teacher can and will
render the service that Justice to
:hc public demands shall he render
cd. A teacher chosen for the higher
grades may be qualified to give cin-
! cicnt service in another department
