PAULSON TRANSCRIPT
GIVEN BY BOARD
NIGHT CLASSES LIGHT
Inability of Hlnlc Vocational Train.
Ing Hoard To Aid Handicap
Kcliool Iteadjiintment Prob
able Within A Short Time.
Ilequcst for a transcript of tho
proceedings of the Ilend school board
bearing on the dismissal of Mark A.
Paulson, recently removed as princl
pal of the high school on charges
of Insubordination and failure to
maintain proper discipline, was made
last week by County Superintendent
J. Alton Thompson In a letter to the
directors. The request Is based on
Paulson's appeal to the county super
intendent from tho board's action,
and was granted by the board.
Attendance at night school Is con
siderably smaller than that of last
year, resulting In a decrease in tho
amount of fees received, while tbo
school Is further handicapped by tho
Inability of the state board of voca
tional training to offer financial as
sistance. City Superintendent S. W.
Moore stated In his monthly report.
This alone cuts down the revenue of
the school by more than $400, he
explained. To reduce expenses, it Is
probable that a readjustment will be
made at tho end of the first month,
involving tho elimination of the
smaller classes and the dropping of
several Instructors.
Dining I loom Xcnletl
The superintendent mentioned the
need of a dining room in connection
with the domestic sclenco depart
ment of the high school, and the mat
ter was turned over to the building
and grounds committee with power
to act. The improvement will cost In
the neighborhood of $200, It Is es
timated.
Due to technicalities, proceedure
I connection wun mo scnooi ouaget
Is not deemed proof against attack
in tho opinion of II. S. Hamilton, at
torney for tbo district, and because
of this It was decided at last night's
session to readvertlse the estimate
for the coming year, and In addition
to call another public meeting which
will be held on Saturday, November
26.
The board voted that the salary
of Charles W. Ersklno as football
coach will be $200 for the season.

noon when a team and light wagon
dashed west on Franklin, swerving In
front of the Bend Company offlco on
Wall, and coming to a halt when ono
of the horses was thrown and tho
pole broken. No one was In the wa
on, and It was thought at the time
that the team bad been left standing
farther up the street and had taken

runaway was purposely caused' by
Mrs. Llndley after the man now

ger, Mrs. Llndley shouted to the
horses, at the same time flinging the
lines to either side.
The team broke into a run, Mrs.
Llndley felt the man's grasp relax,
and she rolled free, dropping ont of
the wagon as the team galloped on.
The man Is believed to have jump
ed a short distance farther on.

her mouth to stop her cries as he did
so. The terrified child In some wxqr
managed to squirm out ot his arms.
and ran at top speed for her home.
