"First and second grade county

the state superintindent for the
pursuance and completion of

the past three and one-half
years the rule in our county has
been to renew all grades of 85

Teacher's Contracts.
( FKOM NKHKASKA THACHKR. )
Considerable agitation is now
going on relative to teacher's
contracts. We here call at
tention ; to the legal phase of
the question.
Equally binding on both part
ies. The contract between the
school board and a teacher is a
mutual , obligation , equal I y
binding upon both parties.
Neither < party can with impun
ity rescind such contract ; and
either party violating the pro
visions of biich contract would
be answerable in damages to
the aggrieved party. It re
quires a majority ot the board
to legally accept a teacher's re
signation.
Oral. In order to bo legal
and binding upon the district : , it
is not necessary that a contract
i.c in writing. If not in writ-
ing its existence must be fully
'proven. If it can be proven
that teacher was elected by the
board , that he was notified of
such election and clearly indi
cated his acceptance of it , the
contract is binding whether
made out in writing and signed
b } ' all parties concerned or not.
In the absence of a written con.
tract the minutes of the director
or secretary of the board would
show the time for which a teach
er was elected.
Teacher can not set contract
aside of her own free will. In
case a teacher breaks a con
tract made between herself and
a school district board , the
board has a right of action on
the original contract , and may
maintain : (1) ( ) A suit to obtain
damages for the loss sustained
by the breach ; (2) ( ) a suit to ob
tain specific performance of the
contract by the other party.
Or , if the court were to find it
difficult to assess the damages ,
or should fail to enforce a speci
fic performance because it can
not supervise or insure its exe
cution , they could
, by injunc
tion , enforce the promise not to
teach elsewhere during the time
covered by the injunction. See
Clark on Contracts. 702.
Two supreme court dec isions
are here given , one from the
standpoint of the board , one
from ths standpoint of the
teacher ;
Discharge of. (1877) ( ) The
district school board is specially -
ly invented by the statute with
the general care and management -
ment of the school and the ein
ployment of the teachers : and ,
as and incident to these powers ,
has a right to discharge a teacher -
er for incomputency or for any
other sufficient cause , at the
will and pleasure of a majority
of its members. Maxwell , .1.
dissenting. ( Bays' v. State , 0
Neb. , 167. )
(1897. ( ) If a teacher duly employed -
ployed in the public schools for
specified period is dismissed
by the school board prior to the
expiration : of the term of employment -
ployment , without being shown
to be incompetent , or for other
good reasons , the district is
liable therefor. ( Wallace v.
School Dist. ' HO Neb. , 171 , 09 N.
W. 772. ) .
In a wilful breaking of a con
tract between a school board [
and a teacher , the teacher has
the advantage , for the reason a
that the teacher will recover
damages ninety-nine times out
of 10U , while the board will not
be able to
recover damages once
oui of 100 times. The teacher
who wilfully breaks her con
tract , should have her certi
ficate revoked by the proper
iiulhority. The board which
breaks its contract will have to
inswer in damages before the
court. There is a difference ,
lowever , b e twee n wilfully
> reaking the contract and hon
orably resigning. The teachers
\ should say to the board , "I will
five you the best service with-
, n my power. I shall do my
> cst to give you the best school
ever taught in my department ,
. ' desire advancement. I shall
lo my best to advance. If a
Mstter position is offered me
.han you have given me , I
\voitld like to resign and to have
ny resignation accepted , but if
you can not find a good teacher
! shall not leave you. " The
) oard should say to the teacher
'We want the best school you
can give us.Ve are paying
you all our funds will warrant ,
) iit we count it a compliment to
our teacher when other boards
of education hearing' of their
work desire to secure
.heir services , When we can
lot pay you as much as any
other board of education can ,
we shall be willing" to release
you and bid you Godspeed in
your advancement , "
The teacher who does not as.
) ire to a better position is inent-
illy and professionally dead ,
The school board that hircs , its
Leachers early in May and gives
them three days in which to ac
cept or reject the election is
) simpering' its teachers , and it
will not be long under such a
a policy until that school and
those teachers will pass into in
nocuous desuetude.
