M, Lerou, for the past five years 19, |H.M.LEROURESIGNS FROMSCHOOL BOARD 1918 clines to Give Reason For His AcfiqnfBeé -Active Member of Board For the Past Five Years. o a prominent member of the town school committee, handed in his resig- nation from that board, to the select- men of the town on Tuesday, to take effect immediately. Mr. Lerou has been actively en- gaged and interested in the work. of the board and at one time filled the office of secretary. The reason of Mr. Lerou’s resignation is not known, as Mr. Lerou on Thursday evening de- clined to give out any information re- garding his action. First Selectman Casper K. Bailey, when asked about the resignation, stated that he was in the dark con- cerning the reason, as he said that there was no reason given. However, following immediately upon the action of the recent town meeting in raising the salary of the school teachers over the heads of the school committee, it is surmised and rumored that Mr. Lerou’s action may be connected in some. way with this matter. * Mr. Lerou’s action comes as a sur- prise to the people of the city, as he has been most interested in the wel- fare of the teachers and in schogl af- fairs and has devoted much of his time to matters pertaining to the bet- terment of the schools of the city.
