‘Board Defeated In
First Legal Tilt
(Continued from Page 1)
Mr. Martin said he has received no
word from the board concerning its
reaction to the court's ruling on his
case.
With Edwin Hay, one of the direc-
tors, vacationing in California, the
board’s remaining membership of four
is said to be split, two to two, over
the case.
Act Constitutional
The test of the new Mundy Tea-
chers’ Tenure Act came about when
the board withheld Mr. Martin's con-
tract when it re-hired all other in-
_ structors several months ago, Through
his attorney, William Valentine, Mr.
Martin® immediately filed a writ of
mandamus, asking the court to rule
on the case.
Testimony was taken at several hear
ings. The hoard was represented by
Attorneys .J. Gordon Mason, R. L
Coughlin and Jenkins, Turner and
Jenkins. Judge McLean handed down
his decision last .Fridey, ruling at the
same time on the case of Miss Luella
Gere, whose contract had been with-
held by Forty Fort School District.
Judge McLean's decision was simi-
lar to the opinion which has been ex-
pressed on other test cases to exam-
ine the Teachers’ Tenure Act in other
parts of the ‘State.
The decision held wide interest be-
cause it will control the actions of a
number of school boards which have
been awaiting anxiously some test of
the new law.
“We are unable to distinguish the
fact and the applicable law in the in-
stant case from the proceedings
brought against the board of directors
of Forty Fort Borough School Dis.
trict, in which proceedings, opinion and
decision have this day been filed” said
Judge McLean. “In the Forty Fort case
the relator was & ployed as a teacher,
.in the instant case the relator was em-
ployed as a teacher and assigned as
supervising principal.
Must Give Contract
“Under the act in question both po-
sitions, the one in the Fort)s Fort Bor-
ough case and the other in the instant
case, fall within the category of ‘pro-
fessional employe,” and the contracts
of both are to be terminated in the |
same manner, and each is entitled to
a new contract in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2 of the act in
question,
“Under the Act of 1937, it became
the mandatory duty of the board of
directors, on or before May 6, 1937,
to execute a new contract with the
relator (See opinion in Forty Fort
School District case) This it appears
from respondents’ answer the
refused to do.”
The judge closes his review of the
questions raised by holding, “Plain-
tiff’s demurrer is. sustained, defend-
ant's answer is adjudged insufficient;
judgement entered for plaintiff, and
peremptory mandamus is awarded di-
recting the respondents to forthwith
enter into & contract with relator in
accordance with the provisions of the
Act of Assembly No. 52 of the sessions
of 1937, which because of the exigence
of the case is directed to issue forth-
with.”

petition July 10
The swimming team from this sec-
tion which surprised national aquatic
circles by taking second place in a
national competition in the Potomac
at Washington, D. C., last summer, is
training for further conquests this
year.

Elwood Davis, Irving Roe, James
Campbell and Robert Jackson—will
make its 1937 debut at the Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania swimming meet at
Easton on Saturday, July 10, taking

a team event, since individuals will
compete for positions.
‘The quartet also hopes to compete
again in the national meet at Wiaash-
ington and probably will enter several
other important ' competitions before
the end of the summer.

cruelty continued all night. The blood-
curdling war-whoops of the Indians |
echoed through the valley as the sav-
ages hunted down fugitives and sub-
jected them to the most horrible and
revolting cruelties.
Typical of this tragic period is the
story of old Queen Esther, who forced
her victims to kneel with their heads
pressed upon a rock while she dashed
out their brains with a crude stone
maul.
‘Some measure of peace was restored
by the Articles of Capitulation, dated
July 4, 1778, in which the inhabitants
agreed to lay down their arms and the
enemy to use its utmost dnfluence to
protect the private property of the
settlers.
Frequently crimes by the irrespon-
sible Indians were reported and even]
after Major Butler, on July 6, had as-
sembled his officers and chiefs to reaa |
not to kill any women and children
