Tbesuperintendent then adds.!The affidavit bled alleges many er-s on the part of the county superintendent We take note of only three First, that error was committed inholding that the board could discharge the teacher without disclosing ’ whom charges were made.Second, that the county superintendent erred in holding that affiant was not entitled to be represented by a fi ;end or .attorney who was present and. sought permission to conduct the trial in her behalf.Third, that the “county superintendent erred in admitting on appeal ev; dc-nce of other charges, than thoslt; specified in the written notice served upon affiant on May 15, 1903, making only charges of cruelty the basis said proceeding against her, and admitting evidence claimed to show acts of partiality on the part of the mfc, a basis for her discharge”We do not find in the transcript, ‘/hieh appears complete, that there yc-re any written charges filed, unless t can be claimed that-the written tice signed by the members of the bdarcl contained such charges.The testimony of Reynolds Amish. director, is that lie heard complaints through the children and thatto see the other directors and that after consultation, the charges rere written anti signed by the boara and sent to the teacher That the charges were written at the request of. and signed by, the board; that the members did not oftei assist the teacher in the government of the school, that the father of tbe boy punished, who Is a director, conducted the trial against the teach-tbat Mr. Cupp, a member of the board, testified “I knew the teacsei as not in favor of hiring her to with” is not denied in the rec-24 photos, 25 cents, Hodge’s studio.AMUSEMENTS.In the superb scenic production of tbe comedy drama, “Sweet Clover,' the patrons of the theater m this city see one of the prettiest plays of sentiment ever given to the stage cent years. The following is a p m of^the dialogue between the principal characters, “Jerome Holcombe,* the picturesque old farmer, and, Jps daughter “Lois.”'Place your heel on a clover bios-n, no matter how tenderly the dew falls on It afterwards, it can't never raise its bead so cheerily again, your broken slip of clover. Daddy, and I live at all, if there’s any sweetness •left, it is because you love me ” “There’s nothing in life like Hie happiness love brings, and if it corner woman’s heart, and she shuts no matter how she tries to fiii hei life, to be faithful to her duty to forget, the old dream will not be banished, but will return dgain again to haunt her with its sweet-Trie law wisely requires boards to range for visiting schools by one • more members.It the rules and regulations of the bcaid do not provide otherwise, the teacher has the right in proper cases to inflict corporal punishment upon ruly or disobedient pupils.This department has long hela. that, m the proper discharge of his duty, to preserve order and require of al5 pupils a faithful performance of ireir duties and. a compliance with e rules, the teacher should have the pport of the board.While a teacher may not justify her own shortcomings, mistakes or imperious by pleading the failure of the card to perform its duty, boards kould in all cases conduct the affairs cf the district so fairly as to leave no as to tbe honesty and justness of their purposes. Unless they have (tempted at least to perform statutory duties and have acted disqreet?y md without prejudice, they may not asonably expect to have their acts 'proved.The record shows that J. J. Roberts relative of tbe teacher, asked that e investigation be private and wit-rss excluded: and that the board refused to permit Mr. Roberts to act ar attorney, and that “Tie be not allowed to have anything to say.Whether or not the request of Mr. Koljcrts to be beard was made before after a part or all of the witnesses v.tre examined is not material. We iHnk the refusal of the board to grant a hearing at any stags of the proceed-Jugs to the person selected by the teacher as her representative was n istake and is indicative of a spirit of unfairness. At. the trial before the county superintendent it was Agreed that the hearing should be de novo. This, the county superintendent lielii. permitted the filing of new cbargo tot preferred against the teacher bc-ere the board. This, wc think, was .7 error. The county superintendent has only appellate* jurisdiction, and iay not permit the Introduction vf iidencc, except such as proves or improves charges, of which ihc teach-• had notice and opportunity for defense.tould be unjust- to permit the presentation of new charges Iwforc the county superintendent. It would not only be a surprise to which the appellant should not Ire subjected, but would prevent her of the benefit ©f] testimony which she might otherwise! have introduced.“THE VILLAGE PARSON.”There are many exciting situation! and interesting scenes that appeal to the emotions of the heait in. “Tin.
