OPINION.
In the matter of tho petition to declare
the scats of tho School Directors of Blooms.
burg School District vacant. Rule to show
cause, Ac.
In the petition of the six tax-payers of
tho school district upon which this rule
was granted, It is among other things com
plained and alleged that the directors have
neglected and refused to appoint a sutOc.
Int number of teachers to put or keep the
schools In operation, so far as tho means of
tbe district will admit. Other matters
charged rolatc to the individual acts or
negllgencn of members of the board, or
to tho non-payment of teachers. The lat
ter complaint having been withdrawn, and
the board ot directors being responsible
only for Its negligcnco as a bo'trd, I dis
miss from conlderatlon all matters except
the complaint first above mentioned.
It appears by the cyldence that there are
within tho school district or the town of
Bloomsburg about seven hundred children
or persons entitled to be taught In the
common schools of the district. There
havo been provided two expensive, and
commodious school buildings of sufficient
capacity to accommodato all who deslro to
attend tho schools During tho last school
year and for several years previous the dl-
rectors havo employed sixteen teachers,
one of whom has been denominated the
Principal. In tho third street school build
ing a high school has been organized. In
each of the rooms In building on Third
street and also in that on Fifth street, in
which theie aio two teachers, ono Is de.
nominated Prluclpal. That Is the petition
occupied heretofore by the teacher called
tho- Principal In tho High school depart
ment. He is not a Superintendent, but is
chosen for the place because of his super
ior qualifications and txperience as a
teacher. His office, if such It may be
called, Is that of a head-master or teacher.
The powers and duties of the Directors fur.
ther than this arc not delegated by them to
him.
Was It nccessury that such a teacher, in
addition to the other teachers,. should bo
employed for tho current school year ?
fho directors have themselves answered
that question in the affirmative, as is
shown by their recorded minutes.
At a full meeting of the Board, on the
24tb day of June, 1887, on motion of Mr.
Brown, seconded by Mr Rosenstock, It was
unanimously agreed that the salaries of the
teachers should bo the samo as last year.
except tho salary of Principal of the High
school, to-wit: Assistant to Principal In
the High school, $40 Then follows the
amount of salaries to Principals In other
departments and the sum to be paid to the
assistants In each of those departments.
At tho same meeting a motion by Mr.
Brown, seconded by Mr. Lawall, to tlx the
salary of Principal of the High school at
$1,000, tho samo us last year, was
lost by a tlo vote. Mr. Kramer moved to
fix tho salary of tho Principal at one hun
dred dollars a month for eight months.
Mr Rosenstock moved by way of amend
ment, accepted by Mr. Kramer, that the
Principal be employed for the whole year
at a salary to be fixed. On a vote being
taken, probably on a division of the ques
tion, It was unanimously agreed to employ
the Pntclpal for the whole year and to
pay him mouthly at the salary to be fixed.
Tho motion of Mr. Kramer was lost bv a
vole of, three to three. At this meeting.
the other teachers, fifteen In number, were
elected and assigned their positions in tho
schools, In the Third street and Fifth street
school buildings.
At the same meeting it was unanimously
resolved to advertise in the city papers for
two weeks that the Directors would receive
applications for the position of Principal
and Superintendent, satisfactory references
to be furnished and amount of salary re
quired " Motion by Mr. Rosenstock. sec
onded by Mr. Rabb.
At a meeting on tbe 22d day of July, a
motion made by Mr. Rabb, seconded by
Mr. Rosenstock, that Frederick Ream be
employed as Principal at $800. Mr. Brown
moved that Mr. Ream be notified to pro.
duce evidence that he was qualified, or
stand an examination. Amendment lost
hv n tie vote, Brown, Hagenbuch and
Laivall voting aye, and Rabb, luaiuer and
Rosenstock voting no. Motion of Mr.
Rabb to employ Ream lost by-a tio vote.the
last three named voting aye and Brown,
Hagenbuch and Lawall voting no.
At a meeting held on the 29th dav of
July.a motion was made by Mr Brown that
the salary of the Principal be fixed at $1000
i year was lost by a ilo vote, Brown, Ha-
genbueh and Lawall voting aye anil the
other three Directors voting no. Mr Ro.
senstock moved to fix tho salary at $900,
wnicli was not seconded. Mr. Kramer
moved, seconded by Mr. Rosenstock. to
clict a principal without flxlne a salarvi
lost by a tie vote, Kramer, Rabb and Ro.
senstock voting aye and the other Direct
ors voting no.
At a meeting held on tho 12jh day of
August, a motion by Mr. Rabb to fix the
salary of the Principal at $100 per month
for eight months and pay him In proportion
for extra work was lost by a tie voto. On
tbo first day of September the Director,
met at tho call of tho President of the
Board; it was moved by Mr. Kramer, sec
onded by Mr. Rabb, that the schools bo
opened on the 5lh of September; lost by a
tio vote, Kramer. Rosenstock and Rnbli
voting aye and the other three Directors
voting no.
By resolution, on the 24th day of June.
It was unnnlmously agreed that tho school
terra begin on the fiisl Monday In Scptcni.
ber.
These records show conclusively that
It the unanimous Judgment of all the
members of the Bohrd of Directors that an
additional teacher is necessary for the in.
structlon of the pupils attending the schools.
In the answer of Mr. Hagenbuch, Mr
Brown and Mr. Lawall thoy aver
that they havo neglected no duty enjoined
on them by law; aud Mr. Kramer, Mr.
Rabb and Mr, Rosenstock aver that (Aey
have neglected no duly enjoined on them by
law, We may concede that they aro con
scientious In this conclusion, but the fact
nevertheless remains that a duty enjoined
by law on tbo Boord of Directors as a
Board has not been performed. Whether
the Directors who voted for the highest sal
ary to bu paid the Principal wire right In
persistently voting against employing the
required teachers unless the other Directors
would cucur with them, or whether the
Dlnctors voting for the lesser sum named
were right In persistently Insisting that the
other Directors should come to thclrtiguies,
is not a question for the consideration of
the Court, and in reference to it we expicss
no opinion, 'the result of their failure to
agree, so far as regards tho question before
tho Court Is chargeable to the Board as a
whole.
As a Board, they levied taxes for paying
teachers, raising thereby a sufficient sum
to Include the salary of the teacher called
Principal; pursuing Iu this the course
which they, or at least a majority of them
had done In tho previous year, and their
predecessors had done for several years
before, which salary was greater In every
Instance than that paid to any other teach,
cr, Theso precedents wero not blnt'lng
upon the present Directors. If such teacher
wero not necessary for the proper and sue.
ccssful working of tho school, the sums
paid him was an Improper expenditure of

spoudents.
They agrco that a teacher Is necessary as
Principal of tho High school; thoy agreo
that they will elect ono to fill the pfaco, but
mi iu uo bo ior ono montu alter tbe school
opened and from tbenco to this time. Rlr
months have elapsed since the passage of
wm ii-Buiuuuti 10 cmpioy sucu teacher,
I'hreo months of tlm snbm.t i,m i,o., ...
piredandtho disagreement of tho Direct
ors sun continues, detracting rrom tho use
fulness of at least one department of tho
BuouuiB m mc uistrici.
Tho evidence, outaidn of ilmi f.
by tho records aud testimony of the Dircc-
iurs is mat tue lllgb school Is overcrowded
with pupils, the average number attending
..biug un.ttu amy anu eeveniy.
Miss Nora Finney, the assistant to the
Principal, (provlued there was a I'rlnctpal,)
testifies that she cannot do justice to such
a number of pupils iu their grade; no per
son having any knowledge of schools could
doubt tills statemcut. Ft Is confirmed by
the testimony of pupils who could not be
heard at recitations for want of timo on
tho part of the teacher. Miss Finney com
plained of this crowded condition of the
school as she supposed to the Board through
the Secretary. But if she did not complain,
an dfflclal visit of any Director as required
by law would, at a glance, have disclosed
the fact that there were nearly twice as
many pupils as could bo properly taught
by one person.
It Is -suggested In argument that this
matter of employing teachers; tho number
ot scholars to bo taught by one teacher nnd
the school at which a pupil shall
ho taught, aro all matters for the discretion
of the Directors, and their discretion, un
less flagrantly abused, cannot bo intcrlcr.
fered with by tho Court. This Is clearly
tho law In every matter submitted by the
law to the discretion of Directors. It Is
applicable to cases where the Board has
exercised Its discretion. It in not applica.
ble where the discretion of one-half tbo
members leads them to conclusions directly
opposite to tbo discretion of the other half.
In that case, the bouse being divided
against Itself, there Is no exuielsn of riu.
cretlon by tho wholu or a malorliv. In
such case individual discretion is not to be
regarded bv the Court.
When a Board of Directors has exercised
its discretion in the performance of its du
ties the abuse of that discretion must be

guilty of official misconduct or neglect of
duty. "We must," says Mr. Justice Lowry.
In treemanvs. School Directors, 37 Pa.,bt.
Ri p. 880, "be liberal and generous timards
this discretion In reviewing the exercise of
it." But it is no where held that refusal lo
exercise dlscrctioL, to the detriment of the
luieresis 01 me puouc, shall be treated
with great tenderness.
The statutory remedy for nenlpct nf li,i
by all tho members ot a Board or Directors
i' th tt of removal from ofilce. Within the
meaning or tbe law all the members do
neglect or reruse to do an act, when by
an official vote there is a tie, which pro

It la the duty or the Board
by the election or a President, but ir all
llie members aro present and less than four
voto for one p, rson, there will be no clec

in refusing to give one or their number a
majority, tho whole Board must bo re
moved. llie same must be the law ir a tin
prevents the opening of tho schorls or tbe
selection or an admitted ami unnn.nL.
ably necessary number or teachers. Ir
this be not so, three School Directors have
tho power to nullify the school system In
their district. The Act or 1854 was Intended
to prevent anv such result hv
proceedings to remove tho dcllnoucnt
Board and appoint others in their stead.
The evidence In this case, clearly show.
