The scheme, a8 suggested, is to get County Superintendent Cooper to revoke the teacher’s cortificate of Superintendent Me- Naughton. The revocation of the certificate, it is clalmed, would do away with any con- tract which Prof. MoNaughton may have with the school boavd. or a contract he would be quickly made to let go of any claim to the superintenden Such is thooutline of the proposed move. Ttis argued that Couaty Superintendent Cooper, who has the issuance of these teach- ers? certificates, has the power under the law to revoke them for any eause which would have prevented him from issuing them in the first place, 1t is tho there is noappeal from the county superin- teadint’s decision in such acase, and that if Mr. Cooper should conclude to revoke Prof., MeNaughton's cortificate that wovld end the matt Of course, he ean not revoke the certificate without' cause, or some show of cause. Charges can be preferred, and the county sndent himself can prefer them, as well as hear them, thus being both judge and prosecutor. A time has to be set for liearing, and Prof. McNaughton can pre duce such testimony as prove the charges, If the school law is as stated, it scems quitep the opponents of Su- perintendont MeNaughton may be thinking of taking advantag i eiends, of course, do not belic any canso shown why his_certificate shiouid be d, but they fear that every point will tehed in orde him out, and ¥ these who thus scheme st him' will - at- tempt to justify theiractionn the eyes of the public by the claim that something must be doue toend the squabble, Certain it is that the schools of thecity are in o demoral- i »ndition, and the public is getting very of the prolonged contest. Still it is doubtful whether the public s so weary as to countenance the doing of a great injus- tice, in_the hope of securing harmony in the school board. —— Fashionable lits made by Mis, L Simmons, £ to § s, $7 to $10, Blue Charlie; G.
