DEMANDS FULL
SCHOOL TERM
N. Hines Warns Trustees
Against Violating Mandate.
The practice of some township trustees
in felling to Veep the schools open 120
days a year was declared to bo “in vio
lation of a specific mandate of the state,”
in a statement sent school authorities
by L. N. Hines, state superintendent of
public instruction.
Mr. Hines says:
"It is therefore the judgment of this
office that a trustee can be required to
maintain a minimum school tern of 120
days, unless it can be clearly shown that
the township is unable, under the pro
visions of the law, to create revenue ade
quate to continue the schools the mini
mum school term. A mere failure on the
part of an officer to -makq, aii adequate
tax levy will not excuse him from his
duty.
“Moreover, it is the judgment of this
department that a public school teacher,
Aaving contracted to teach for the school
Term at a certain minimum daily wage,
ean collect her salary for the minimum
term of six months,'* even though the
school has been closed short of that
time, unless it can be clearly shovfn
that, under the provisions of the law,
a trustee is unable to provide adequate
means to run the schools the minimum
term. In support of this statement, at
tention is directed to the case of Ruther
ford school township vs. Craney, f>l Ind.
App. Court. Report, page 236.
“Already Indiana has fallen to twenty
ninth place among the forty-eight states
of the union in point of length of school
term. This record, which is indeed em
barrassing, is partially due to the dis
regard school officers have given to the
provisions of "the statute fixing a mini
mum school term.
“A longer term is urged, though not
legally required. County superintendents
are respectfully asked to report to the
state superintendent of public instruction
the names of any trustees in their respec
tive counties who have closed the schools
under their control short of 120 days.”
