Recent School Decisions,
The following are decisions sent out 1
., ... ., , . .
mm the office of the Polk county school
siinerliilcinlciit In answer to Inquiries
made by a immla-r of citizens, '
1 n February 4th tltloii annexing
a portion of district nuiuls-r 4M to
district numlH'r M waa grunted. This
being less than tldrty days before the
annual sclnsd me, tlug, can Hie rei
neiii ur the ,ie, lenliory vole at
aid lueethig?
Answer. The rehln( of the
territory added to any district cannot
b disfranchised by act of the school
oiK.iiteiulent. If they have been
resldeiils t.f the territory annexed
thirty day prior to the school meeting,
am) posses the other necessary quail
Aeailons of a voter at a school meeting
both taw and precedent will allow them
to vote In the district to which they
have been added, even If the said
territory ha not been annexed for the
full perhsl of thirty days. If it were
otherwise tin new district could be
orgunlzed until thirty days after the
petition creutlug waa granted. Yet
the law say the taxable Inhabitant
notified shall Immediately port not It
culling meeting In ten day fo elect
directors, etc., and such resident as
possess the other neoeaaary quallflca
tlon are sjsiken ofaatiie legal voter
of such new district. In your case the
residents of the annexed territory have
not changed their residence within
thirty days, If I am correctly Informed
but your Hues have Wo extended U
include them, aud if they wers voters
In district tiumla-r 4M, they are now
voter In district numla-r 5ft.
2 Can a (eschar legally hired

lavs calling a meeting fur that purssie?
Muhdivlslntia twenty-oiie of section
thirty-seven and siilsllvlsion fifteen of
same section, whisil law of iHllSws'in
to require thi.
Answer, Siilsllvinloti twenty-one i
ctlon tlilrty-srven refers only to
district schisil tiiis-Mnifs and lint to
hoard meetings, , while siilsllvlsion
llftis'ii and nUtes'ii refer to Ismrd meet
Ing. The tnianl of dlrwtors tn meet
at any time In any place without
previous notice, provided, tha' at least
two director are prcMeut. and provided
further, that they make the business
transacted a matter of record. If ub
Hvlsloii twenty-one referred to lastrd
meetings the director could imt draw
an order on the district treasury for a
cord f wisal without first issillng a
noitivln three public places for ten
day previous to making the order,
which would Is alurd. See tubdlvi-
lion sixteen staive mentloiied The
tswrd must meet to hire a teacher, and
tlo-y iiiu-t make It a mailer of record.
This done the contract I legal.
Sctiisihlar Reminiscence.
Judge Adams, of Portland, relate
the following amusing story of school
days with Senator-elect McBrlde: We
went to M'lusil together at Christian
college, at Monmouth, in I'olk county
He was one of the nnst jsipulsr boys
al college, a favorite w ith the girls as
with the boys, Iu our class, there
were also two who were afterward
Judge of the supreme court of the
state Judge Kcau and Wolvertoti.
There were also W. I. Feiilon, I lie
prominent attorney here, and Dr. Lot,
Claver, si one lime land office register
al Im Grande, aud now a dentist.
' 1 rcniemU'r a rather amusing Inci
dent that iswurred at tiie college lu the
winter of '71-'72. Profeasor Campbell,
v ho was a curious oi l character, ill
that he pnsw'nscd some remarkable
notions about propriety, hud issued
an order forbidding the young uien to
sit with with the girls at churli. Pro
fewtor CampU'll said It waaell't proper,
that lu the best-regulated coiuinuiiitles
the female portion of a church congre
gation aid on one side of th building,
while the male portion occupied the
other; and the profesaor even asserted
that such was the custom iu Portland.
This mutter created quite a sensation
at the time, and there was a dlsxsttlon
among the hoys to rvlad. George did
rebel, with a few others. He had been
down to Portland, aud knew that the
ridiculous old Puritan custom did not
obtain there, as the professor had
anacrled. George claimed that the old
professor didn't know anything about
etiquette, and said that it was wrong
and ulwiird lor a fellow to take his girl
to church and leave tier ut the entrance
to hunt a seat for herat If on one side,
while he sought a aeut on the other,
The upshot of It waa that tlie profesaor's
order received no attention,"
