EVANSVILLE Hi SCHOOL
OPENS; PRINCIPAL MOVED
Friction Over Time Allotment
for Studies Ends When ]. E.
Ford Quits as Head.

Grantsville high school re-opened
it's doors last Friday after two-day
suspension of studies due, it is said, to
a row between the students and men,
bers of the faculty on one hand and
the principal, j. Edwin Ford, on the
other.
The row was said to have originated
over the division of the students time
during periods for recitation. Mr..
Bridgewater, history instructor, stat
ed, it is alleged, that the required
time was not given for a test in his
tory and other matters, which caused
confusion with the teachers and pa
pills during the year.
AS a result of the disagreement,
Mr.. Ford has been relieved as prin-
cipal of the school and has been sent
to another school in the county, fol-
lowing a meeting of the patrons of
the school held on Wednesday after
noon, when petition to the Board Of
Education was circulated asking that
the board remove Mr.. Ford as the
head of the school.
Orders Fires Be Not Built
According to the teachers and stu
dents, Mr. Ford, angered at their OPP
position to a change in the curriculum,
dismissed both the grade and high
school students last Tuesday at the
noon hour and ordered the janitor not
to light the fires and to keep the doors
closed against everyone, including the
eleven members of the faculty and the
300 students. He also, it is said, or
dered that bus service to and from the
school be discontinued Wednesday
morning.
Being advised of the conditions ex-
listing at Grantsville received by tele
phone at the office of the Board of Ed
ucation in Oakland, County Superin-
tendent F. E. Rathbun went to Grants
: vile Wednesday and after an investi-
cation Mr.. Ford was given instruc-
lions to open the school Thursday at
the regular time, while Mr.. Bridge
water and Mr.. Leatherman, both of
whom are instructors in the school,
were requested by the superintendent
to remain away from the building for
a few days.
Mr.. Ford, according to his instruc-
tions, opened the school Thursday
morning with two pupils in attend
ance. With this condition existing,
Miss Eva Falkenstein, home econom-
les teacher in the school, was named
acting principal and the school, with
all members of the faculty with the
exception of Mr.. Ford present, re-
opened Friday morning with four pu-
pills absent, all being from legitimate
causes, according to school authori-
ties.
AS soon as practicable Miss Falken-
stein will be relieved of her present
position by the appointment of reg
ular principal.
Indignation Meeting in Progress
When Superintendent Rathbun ar
rived at Grantsville Wednesday after
noon he found more than forty of the
residents of Grantsville assembled in
the school building, the meeting be-
ing presided over by DR.. N. R. Davis,
one of the trustees of the school at
which the action of Mr.. Ford was de-
nounced and the re-opening OF the
school at once urged as matter OF
public policy.
