BOARD DECIDES
AGAINST TEACHER
Appeal of Miss Shiveley from Ac
tion of Directors in Her
Case Heard.
FOUR DESERTERS FROM
VANCOUVER ARRE8TED
Fear the Prospective Hard Work
that Awaits Them in the
Philippines.
(Special Dispatch to Toe Journal)
Salem. Or., Dec. IS. Th case of the
board of directors of the Cottage drove
school district against the county super
intendent W. B. Dlllsrd, of Lane county,
and Nan Shiveley, appeal from the de
cision of th superintendent, which wss
heard by th stat board of education In
th office of Superintendent Ackerman
early thia week, was decided yeaterday
by the board against the teacher and In
favor of the board of directors. The
caae waa one where the directors had
employed Miss Shiveley to teach In the
Cottage Orove ninth grade school and
upon requiring of her th stat diploma
required it was not forthcoming, shs
alleging that It was lost.
She failed to produce any papers au
thorising tier to teach and therefore the
board declared the school vacant and em
ployed another teacher. Mlsa Shiveley
appealed from the action of the direc
tors, sssertlng that she had not prom
ised to secure a duplicate of her di
ploma, that It was not necessary, and
that ahe had not a chance to respond
to the charges, and therefore had had
no trial before being dismissed.
The board averred that there waa
no contract with her as she had never
produced th authority to teach, which
th board held to be pre requisite to th
contract. . .
The county superintendent nria inai
the teacher wss entitled to a hearing.
and from this position the directors ap
pealed. I
In the course of the decision tne state
board has held ss In fsvor of the di
rectors, snd says:
"The theory upon which the county
school superintendent based hia action
evidently was that the employment of
the teacher by the board of directors
and her acceptance thereof without any
thing further being done constituted a
contract between the district and the
teacher which entitled her to have for
mal charges preferred ajcatnst her and
a hearing had thereon before she could
be removed by the directors of the dis
trict "In the sbsence of any statutory rule
or requirement upon the subject this
would probably be true, but subdivision
7 of section 48 of article VI of the
school laws of Oregon provides thst the
board of directors shall hire teachers
and make contracts with such teachers
which shall specify the wagea. number
of months to be taught and time employ
ment Is to begin as agreed upon by the
parties, snd shall file such contractu
in the office of the district clerk and
a copy thereof in the office of the
county superintendent. This statute
contemplates, and tt seems to the board
requires, that all contracts with teachers
shall be In writing, for tt would be
Impossible to file the contract In the
office of the district clerk' and a copy
thereof In the office, of the county su
perintendent unless such contract were
In writing.
"If this position be the correct one,
Miss Sniveler's employment and ac
ceptance thereof did not ripen into a
contract for the reason that It was not
evidenced by a writing as required by
law, anh therefore not being legally In
the employ of the district she was not
entitled to have charges preferred
against her as a condition precedent to
declaring her position vacant.
"Subdivision I of section 48 of article
VI of the achool laws of Oregon pro
Ides thst If sny district achool board
shall draw a warrant on the school fund
for the wages of any teacher who does
not hold a valid teacher's permit, certif
icate or diploma, and lay the earn be
fore the board of Inspection, such dis
trict shall forfeit its proportion of the
school fund for the current year. The
records of the school board shows that
they war demanding from Miss Shive
ley this evidence of her right to teach
and that she failed to produce It In com
pliance with such demand, and therefore
the board could not epter into a written
contract or any-contrart with her until
she had presented for inspection the evl
dence of her right to teach. To have
entered Into a written contract with her
would have Incurred the risk for the
district of a forfeiture of Ita proportion
of the school fund for the current year
Mlas Shiveley having failed to comply
with this demand of the board of dlrec
tors, which they made in compliance
with a statutory requirement, they could
not lawfully enter into a contract with
her. and therefore not having been le
aally employed the board of directors
had the right to declare her place va
cant. "
"The purpose of the atatute of this
state was for the protection of th
achool districts against misunderstand
lnga through the faulty memory of
teachers, boarda of directors and clerks
of the district. and"the case under con
sideration shows ths necessity as well
as the wisdom of such law.
'In this, aa in other cases, members
of the state board of education have
received lettera from peraona in the
school district who felt an Interest in
the decision of the controveray between
ths teacher and the district, and - the
board feels it incumbent upon Itself
to ssy that In view of the law govern
ing the decision of such controversies
It Is prohibited from giving these let
ter consideration on this appsal. The
board la required to decide this snd
other esses of a similar nature wholly
and entirely upon th transcript of the
proceedings and til evidence taken be
fore th board of school directors aa it
has been certified up to it through the
county school superintendent. In ar
riving at a decision the board la gov
erned entirely by the law of this state,
the rules fixed by the elate board of
education and the decisions of the courts
bearing upon the queatlona Involved.
Whatever may be the moral obligations
upon a school district to pay a teacheV
whose services have been accepted with
out any warrant or authority of law,
th board la precluded by th statute
from considering the questions Involved
from any hut a legal stsndpolnt
"The state board of education is there
for of the opinion thst Miss Shlvsley
CASTOR I A
For Infants and Children.
The Kind You Hare Always Bought
not having entered Into aay valid con
trast with th board of directors waa
not entitled to demand aa a matter of
right that charges be preferred against
hsr, and that therefore ths action of
the county school superintendent In so
holding was erroneous, and his decision
should be and hereby Is reversed."

The deserters belong- to Captain Haw
thorne's battery, of the, Twenty-elxth

Louis to Vancouver and which is soon to

them In the islands snd they are vary
unwilling to go.
