FOUR PUPILS AFFECTED Directors Sign Contract with Royal Trullinger but Neglect to Specify That He Shall Teach the Higher Branches. Macksburg school district No. 20 is In a pretty kettle of fish over the ac tion of the board of directors in au thorizing the abolishment of the ninth grade, that was established . some two years ago by the taxpayers of the dis trict. When the fall term was opened about six weeks ago the board engag ed Royal Trullinger to teach the school, but his contract did not speci fy that he was to teach ninth grade branches. No sooner had Mr. Trul linger assumed the reins of govern ment than he notified the board that he could not teach algebra, and offer ed to resign, but the board would not consent to this. The action of the state text book commission in making bookkeeping compulsory in the ninth grade further complicated matters, for Mr. Trullinger was not prepared to Instruct in this branch and finally REAP THERE IS NO QUESTION BUT THAT WE ALL WANT to REAP GOOD CROPS. to Sow Right A HOOSIER DRILL Corner First&Taylor Stj PORTLAND, OREGON. the directors advised the teacher that he could proceed with his work. Whereupon the teacher told the four pupils in the ninth grade that they would have to look elsewhere for in struction In bookkeeping and alge bra, but that they could attend Bchool if they pleased and he might be able to find some time for them aside from his duties with the Intermediate grades. The students took their books and went home and a storm of protest arose and came to the ears of County School Superintendent Gary, who went to Macksburg Friday and looked Into the matter. A meeting of the school patrons was held at the school house at 4o'clock last Friday after noon, and Mr. Gary was asked to make a decision, but he could give them little satisfaction. In the first instance he said the directors had no right to abolish a grade that had been added by the taxpayers, and further that the teacher could not be compel led to teach high school branches when it was not specifically so stated in his contract, and about the only thing that could be done. If the ninth grade is continued, would be to en gage an additional teacher to in struct in the higher branches. The matter has rested here, and it Is not known Just what action will be taken, although it is reported that a special meeting of the school patrons will be called within 20 days and the ninth grade formally and regularly abolished. This seems to be about the only wa yto end the situation, which is rather complex, to say the least. Directors F. J. Kraxberegr and D. Harms and Clerk C. Kraxberg er favor the abolishment of the high er grade, and Director F. W. Barth is In favor of continuing it. : jL Mountain View. F. M.
