BOARD
Last nights meeting of the
board was one of charges, counter
charges, loud declarations and
table rappfngs. CUES Ontng
giances were frequently sent in
the direction of Superintendent
Hug as the evenings business was
disposed of.
Why was Miss Iverson never
given an opportunity to resign2"
Chairman Halvorsen asked Hug
after the South Salem delegation
mad departed from the room.
Other teachers have been grant
ed that privilege. And you know,
| AR. Hug, that you've never visited
Miss Iverson to talk this matter
over with her"
Friction Is Alleged.
Mr.. Hug made a few remarks.
During the evening newspapermen
were requested 20 disregard GER
tain utterances, 1t appeared that
| Miss Iverson was accused of hav-
ing caused the appearance of some
friction in the Lincoln school.
During the evening dozen pa
irons addressed the board. "The
parents of South Salem want an
explanation of the Iverson case, .
| declared Mr.. Rhoten.
''We'll try and figure out the
reasons and let you know" Chair
man Halvorsen said.
''Well, that's what we want"
Mr. Rhoten replied.
Mrs. LaMoine Clark, principal
of the Mckinley school, who was
not hired by the BOARD at its last
session, will be rendered a con-
tract. This was decided last night
after Mr.. Hug had recommended
that she be retained.
Hug Will Accept.
And there's one thing l want
to know before l go tonight" Mr.
Halvorsen said at this point. is
Mr.. Hug going to accept his con-
tract?"
Mr.. Hug said he was. The SUI
perintendent was elected at the
previous meeting of the board.
Urolix harangues were heard in
| connection with the case of Miss
Lena Belle Tartar, instructor OF
music, who has not yet been en-
pIoyed for next year. Miss Tartar
appeared in her own behalf and,
following her speech, her brother.
/ l.. It. Tartar of Albany, took the
floor and explained he was there
to see his sister got square
deal" Tartar claimed Hug had
told him he'd recommended Miss
Tartar as music instructor, but
that the board had failed to take
action. The board, it appeared
disagreed with Mr.. Hug on this
point. 1t held that the delay was
the result of a suggestion from
Mr.. Hug.
Eventually, after a motion to
employ Miss Gretchen Kreamer as
music teacher, had been lost, the
directors instructed Mr.. Hug tc
bring in at the next meeting
definite recommendation in re
gard to the disposition of th'
music instructor problem.
Many Of the patrons preseni
last night spoke in favor ofgrant
ing Principal H. L. Durham's re
quest for a $3.50 raise in salary
Mr.. Durham, who spoke before th'
board last night, is at present re
ceiying $3.50 a year. After a pro
tracted debate the directors voted
not to raise any salaries, although
/ it was felt that difficulty woult
| be found in filling the position
which Mr.. Durham proposes to va
cate unless he receives more mon
ey.
