not familiar with the facts in the
case,
Therefore, the Board of Trustees
feel that it is incumbent upon then
to make public the following state

Guilty arose over the failure OF Der

school as being necessary for him a

to do.
End. That said work was re

the facts in the case, even going so
far as to hold a joint meeting with
several leading citizens of the town,
at which meeting Prof. Rainwater,
Mr.. Nunnally and Dermont were
present
Roth Prof. Rainwater and Mr..
Nunnally presented their sides of
the case to this body.
The Board of Trustees feel that it
lis their duty to state, that, while we
believe Mr.. Nunnally is honest in his
belief that he had a grievance against
the Superintendent of the schools, it
| is our opinion:
1st. That the Superintendent was
honestly and conscientiously carry
ing out the regulations of the school.
End. That there was no intentional
discrimination being made by him and
the faculty against Dermont as other
members of his class were being sub
iected to the same requirements as
i he.
Ord. That while we appreciate the
fact that Mr.. Nunnally, because of
certain circumstances arising in con-
nection with the case, felt that Der
mont had been Disseminated against
we do not feel that he was justified
in making the assault upon Prof
Rainwater which he did make.
