TEACHERS WIN IN S. c. VERDICT

tEuStG0S III Uu0 SUdVO CduuOu Gil
ter into a contract with teacher
and then terminate that contract
at their pleasure during it's ten
ure, according to an opinion
handed down by the Supreme
Court in the case of Ruth Hol
son against Maricopa county
school district No. II and the
Peoria High school district.
The opinion, written by Chief
Justice Henry r. Ross and con.
Cured in ty Justices A. G. Nc,
Allister and A. G. Lockwood, af
firms a judgment obtained by
Miss Holson, in the Marlcopa
county Superior court for salary
from January 2, 1924, to the
close of the school year in the
same year.
The plaintiff brought suit to
recover salary at the rate OF
$3.50 month under a 10 months
contract beginning with Septem
Der 10, 1923, which had been
terminated BY the board of trus
tees on January 2, 1925, less her
earnings in other work during
the life of the contract. The
school district appealed from
the Judgment.
The opinion holds that under
/ the Arizona law governing the
employment of teachers, the
boards OF trustees cannot enter
into contract with a teacher
for a longer period than one
year. nor can they terminate
such contract before its expira.
| ton, except for alleged unfit
ness or incompetence, and in
those cases, an appeal may be
had to the county school super
intendent.
IF the teacher is fit and com.
petent, the power of dismissal
does not exist, as the expression
of the one excludes the other, "
the opinion ~interprets the Ari
zona law. The oplnicn then
points out that the boards. of
trustees in employing teachers,
are limited to those certified by
the state board of education, and
that the applicant for such Gre
dentials must not only possess a
high degree of learning but
must present proper evidence of
