SCHOOL PETITION
DENIED BY BOARD
Fifty-four Citizens Sign
Petition for Return
of Teachers

The following Is the petltlOH re-
ferred to in our last issue regarding
the hiring Of teachers wanted by
patrons and parents, but not by the
board or not at price that could be
agreed upon.
We said in our account of the
board meeting Tuesday evening that
no action was taken on the petition,
but the writer left as soon as the
meeting adjourned, and we are In
formed that while the trustees were
still in the room the clerk called
their attention to the petition and
urged them to take whatever action
they were going to so he could in
form the spokesmen for the petition
ers, and that the prayer Of the peti-
tion was denied.
State was made that the place had
been offered to Professor Eichel-
berger at $2100 a year and he did
not accept it at that salary and had
accepted a position at Paul, Idaho.
Regarding Mrs. Lint it was said that
she had already accepted a position
at Rose, where she had taught be-
fore, SO there was nothing to act on
in either case.
The notations on the margin Of
the petition which we quoted last
issue from memory were incomplete
and read as follows: mine signers
have pupils in H. S., seven signers
have pupils in ]. H., thirty-eight
signers have no children in school"
