1t seems that member of the schoo.
board from that district selected this
teacher from list of applications on
file with County Supt. Sheldon and she
was hired by two members Of the
board. Mr.. Sheldon had never seen
the teacher but the board members
saw her before Fengaging her and ap.
parently were satisfied. Soon the word
was passed around in that vicinity
that she was a colored woman and last
Monday, delegation from there came
to the office of the county superin-
tendent and sought to have her ousted.
They claimed that she had admitted
being but one-sixtenth white. She has
husband and several children and the
family is living in Hillman. IL
AN investigation by Mr.. Sheldon dis
closed that legal contract had not
been entered into by the board as the
law requires that the teacher or teach.
ers be engaged at meeting of the
board duly called for that purpose and
of which all the members have been
properly notified and in this case two
members of the board had drawn up
the contract, outside of meeting.
Furthermore, an examination of the
certificate Of the teacher disclosed that
the certificate had expired in August
and had not been renewed. The law
also requires that the certificate be
recorded at the office of the county
superintendent, which had not been
done.
What further developments are like
ly is not known but it is thought that
so far as the board is concerned, it will
engage another teacher. The husband
Of the alleged colored teacher has
threatened to bring suit against the
district.
