Much excitement exists In public
school circles because ol the fact that
iiulto a number of well knewn teach
ers will not be re-employed for next
year, including u number who have
taught in the Jledford schools for
years, several of whom have been and
ure regarded by the public ami.
among tho teachers themselves as
among the ableit und most efficient
of tho teaching corps in their respec
tive grades. They havo not been sent
contracts for next year.
This fact has created much excite
inont in schodl circles and not a little
indignation among the marked teach
ers and their friends and acquain
tances, to say nothing of the surprise
to the general public. A meeting or
protest was held by tho teachers who
have been dropped for next year, and
theSr friends among tho teachers gen
erally and parents of their pupils Sat
urday, at which it was decided to de
mand of Supt. Davenport the oxuet
roasons for tho rejection ot each
toucher.
Mr. Davenport when interviewed
this forenoon said that ho was not at
liberty to discuss tho situation pub
licly as yet, and Intimated that a
statement would be forthcoming Horn
tho school board when all tho con
tracts had been sent out. Thu board
will hold its next regular meeting
tomorrow night.
It is understood that tho contracts
already sent out give substantial sal
ary Increases in acconlanco with the
Dorcentngo announced in tho Bevori l
oiades hv tho hoard recently. It Is
ulso understood that each teacher's
caao has been considered individually,
by tho Ix.'aru as to qualifications and
rotontion, and as to amount of salary.
It Is reported that ono grade school
principal who this year received a
salary of $1200 or $1100, has boon
tendered a contract which calls 101
ilflSO.
Ono of tho well known teachers
hero for years, a single woman, who
owns her home In the city, has m.'t
boon offered a contrai l. It Is under
stood that all married teachers also
arodronned. The Washinglun school
building has been hard hit and it is
said that next year thu majority of
tho high Bchool faculty will bo new
teachors.

There is general rejuiciut: mnoni
the members of Coinpanv I), the local
National U'uarjl organization, over the
fact that Hie company lias been
transferred back to Ibe infantry
service in the Third Oregon regiment
from where it was transferred about
six weeks iil'o to the recently organ
ized coast artillery battalion. Offic
ial orders lo the above effect were
received today by Captain II. A. C'u
niiilay from Adjutant General Slraf
fin. Wlui the order came some time
ago without warning transferring the
coinpanv into the artillery battalion
the members were very indignant and
practically iinanimouslv drew up a
protest lo the adjutant cencrul
against Hie transfer. The men argued
that they hail enlisted in the coin
panv bccaJise of their liking for the
infantry branch of the service, and
that it was unfair to transfer them
into Hie artillery.
While word came back inilirectlv
from various unofficial sources that
the adjutant general's office bad no
disposition lo force Hie coinpanv into
n branch of service ils members did
not like, the tniHsfcr order was not
rescinded unlil the arrival of Hie let
ter received today, although techni
cally the coinpanv ill Hie interim was
officially a component part of the
artillery battalian.
