In his opinion Long says: ! You are advised that a resolution of the | Board of Education is necessary at the expira- tion of the probationary term fo constitute the teacher a_“regular’ teacher in the department. | Upon such election the teacher can only be re- | moved in accordance with the provisions of section 1793 of the Political Code after con- viction upon charges properly proferred The Supreme Court of the State has con- | cluded In two leading cases that the power conferred by the statute upon boards of educa- tion In cities is without restriction as to the | term of employment and that under it a| teacher may be employed for a definite term | to be fixed by the board. When the board has | employed a teacher for a year the court se “it would b absurd to say that it couid not d pense with the services of such teacher at t end of the year.” | In the light of the statue so construed th conclusion Is forced upen us that the employ- ment of teachers by the Board of Education of San Francisco under the terms of its rule on the subject must be held {o“be a limited employment to continue for three years, dur- ing which time the teacher is on probation. 1f at the end of that time the teacher shall have satisfied the board of ¢ to discharge the dutfes of a teacher in the department she may be dlected a regular teacher therein, other wise she is subject to discharge. ge Sea- well has held [n the case of Arguello versus the Board of Education that ‘‘mothing in sec- tion of the Political Code shall be con- strued removing teachers holding on! tificates or serving a probat “There are about 150 teachers, Superintendent Langdon, ** will have to be elected by resolution of the board. After the charter went into ef- fect a large number of probationary appointments was made, but of these only sixteen teachers were formally elected at the expiration of their proba- tionary terms. The same action must be taken with the others to make their tenure secure.” ““The effect of the o n,” said Pres- ident Roncovieri of the Board of Edu- cation, “will be that after a teacher has served her probationary term she may be dropped from the department if in the opinion of the bhoard she has been found unsatisfactory in the perform- ance of her duties. In other word: electing a teacher for a probational period is tantamount to m tract with her for a stated period, which contract ends unless the board desires to renew it.” | e R T e S | A Veteran Retires.

The firm from which he re-| tires will continue under the same name, | To convince the jury Labrousse was mentally deranged wh he killed Marie Jordan is the pur of Attorneys W. H. Alford and T Roche, who represent him. Their plan | of defense was prematurely exposed yesterday when they put Attorney J.| H. Creely, a life-long friend of the de- fendant, upon the witness stand and obtained from him a positive opinion | that -for several months prior to the| tragedy Labrousse was insane. Another interesting feature of the murder trial, which is being conducted in Superior Judge Dunne's court, was the appearance as a witness of the vi tim’'s aged mother. When her name was called the defendant was staring into vacancy, his chin resting upon his hand, and as she advanced to the stand he covered his face with his fingers, bowed his head and remained in that attitude until she was dismissed. Mrs. Jordan never looked at him, however even when asked, “Do you know the defendant at the bar?” Labrousse sat between his two sisters, who look™d steadily at every witness as the evi- dence for the prosecution was adduced. Miss Lillian Jordan, whom Labrousse had accused of responsibility for the estrangement between himself and her sister, also testified, and nine-year-old Geneva Portier told her story of the killing with much more directness than was shown by most of the aduit wit- | nesses.

Very positive in his testimony was Arthur Long, the carpenter who was at work across the street from the Jordan home and saw the entire tragedy.

She stated that Attorney Bluxome had visited Marje while she was at work and asked her what Labrousse had done with the money he had borrowed from his sis- ter, and when Marie returned home that evening she met Labrousse and in presence of her mother and the witness told him she had lost confidence in him. Labrousse denied he owed his sister money and the following day the wit- ness visited his sister, Mrs. Lesterham, who said he did owe her money, but she expected him to pay it. A few more witnesses for the prose- cution will be examined to-day, and then the defense will introduce a mass of testimony to prove that Labrousse | was not of sound mind for some time { prior to the tragedy.
