A decision of the Columbia County Court particularly interests those with whom contracts are made to superintend or teach school The question at issue is as lollows In 1806 T. H. Eisenhower, of Mahanoy City, was appointed prin cipal of the Csntralia borough schools for three years. At the end of one term he was ousted by the school board for alleged politi cal reasons. He sued for the amount of his salary, $85, for the first month that the schools were open after his discharge, and won his case before Judge Lyon, of Jun iata county, then sitting on the Co lumbia bench. Subsequently Mr Eisenhower brought other actions to recover the balance he claimed the full three-years' contract and the attorney for the school dis trict contended that the original suit for $85 and judgment for the same was a bar to any further claim on the part of the plaintiff. Judge Little sustained this contention, ana Principal Eisenhower has taken steps for an appeal to the Supreme Court. Trie aggregate amount in volved, including costs, is $1445 COAT Underwear.
