Thereis‘likly to be fun.
The young people of the west side are
talking about getting up a lawn party to
be held during August full moon, for the
benefit of the village band.
On petition of fifteen legal voters of the
West Saugatuck (“Shererow”) district, a
special school meeting was held in the
School House, Monday evening, July 9.
It proved to be an animated one. Though
a hot night for warm disscussion, there
were more speeches made, more unsuc-
cessful attempts to talk all at once, more
violations of parliamentary usage, and more
calls to order than were ever heard of be-
fore at such a meeting. Mr. O. I. Jones
presided, and had he been disposed to ex-
er cise his powers, could have madeit un-
pleasant for the angry violators of the
law. The object of the meeting was to
instruct the committee. elected at the
annual meeting a month before, as to the
employment of teachers, and to fix their
salaries.
hold that a special meeting cannot do this.
—that the committee chosen at the annual
meeting alone has the power, that his
action is final, and all the district has to
do is submit. This practice has prevailed
in town, throughout Fairfield county, and
the' state for more than' it century—so
long indeed that is has by custom, become
asort of law. The new committee was
aware that many in the district desired to
change teachers and he is known' to have
promised ’not to act hastily, and not to
employ any applicant till he had first
learned the wishes of the district. Either
feeling the importance of his position, or
not caring as to whether his act would
please, he first verbally and then in writ-
ing contracted with the old teachers for
the year. At' the- meeting after the
petition had been read, and a resolution
offéred instructing the committee not to
hiycacertain teacher, that official drew
from his pocket a document and handed
it to the secretary, with a gesture which
signified, "Now we’ve got 'em. Wonder
what they’ll do about it."
