A SCHOOL-QUESTION. The Durand (Wi Hligh«School Cus Jury. Special Dispatoh to The Chicago Tribuna, Rockronp, Iil, Oct. 18.—~The High-School cnso from Durand, in this county, which bas boen before the Circuit Court for tho third time, this weel, cawe to a final ending on Tlursday afterucon, when the couwsel on both sides closed their argumonts, the charge was deliv- etad, snd the jury yetired, Tho principlo in- volved makos the case of interest to teachers evorywhero; therefore I will give you & coucise history of the trausnction. ‘Ihe case commenced in 1871, at which time Mius Pos, tho plaintiff, ves m the junior class of the High-Bchool, a¢ Duraud, Winnebago County. Awmong tho studies of this class_the Directors had included bookkeaping. Miss Post rofused to pursue this study, or procurs the proper books, notwithstanding the order of the Directors that she must do 8o or leave the school. Her'reason for tais was, that hor mother did not wish it, o8 she alroady had enough studies, aud her Lealth would not admit of moro. Sho con- tinued bLer attandnancoe, until finally the Directors ordered ber expulsion, and Mr. Rnlison, tho do- foudant, forcibly compelled her to descond three flights of sgtalrs, and go out into a rain-storm. Artor thus, Miss Post kept awsy, until hor stop- fathor applicd for hoer readmittance. This was rofusod, unless bookkeeping formed part of lor studies. But this could not be, and tho matter was brought to court. The questions involved wera: Who had the chief suthurity in the case? which sido has the law to support it ? and had tho plnintiff sulfored damagos by being deprived of school-privilogos in kor placo of residonco? No dooieion wus arrived at after two trials, and the case wns ngain brought up at this torm, Judge Brown, in bis charge to tho jury, said that the Directors of a public school could adopt all roasonablo rulos and rogulations for the managoment and governmont of thelr Bchool, sod prescribe a courso of study; yet parcnts and_guardians had the right, honestly and in good faith, to solect from the particular studies those which they may desire their children or wards to pursue, Ho ' slao addod, that it was no ground far expulsion or susponsian of s scholar if such scholar did not puraue the ontire pro- seribed courdo of study, o8 lung 88 he was aoting honestly and in good faith, and under the direc- tion or instruction of his parents or guar- disn, who moy honesily and in good faith make such instruction for the welfaro of their charge, On tho defendant's sids, tho reat_question to bo considered was, Whether ius Post, of her own free will, refused to com- ply with tho order of the Dirottors from caprice or perverseness, or under instruction from others ; and, if such was tho cnso, then tho Board only acted on thoir rropnr authority in expelling her from the sohool, With this instruccion, the jury retired. At about miduight a sealed vordict was returned, which was opened and read on Friday morning at 0 a'elook, Tho verdiot, in eubstance, was, that the jury found Mr. Rulison guilty of tres- pass, oto., and awarded Miss Post 3180 damages. —_—— FIRES.
