TEACHERS’ UNION DELAYS OPENING OF SCHOOLS.

L. N. Hines, state superintendent of public instruction, Wednesday laid before Governor Goodrich complaints received at the state board of education office about conditions in Greene county school circles and it is believOd that within a few days Governor Goodrich will confer with Greene county officials who may be requested to show cause, if any, why such alleged conditions exist in a county where public officials are supposed to •do thedr duty. The governor has authority to see rhat school officials do their duties or have them removed. The situation,., as -thestateofficiale, ■is that James T. Roach, township trustee, had some trouble engaging teachers because of a teachers’ union. It is alleged that other schools are not open because of fear of violence from union workers and sympathizers. Meanwhile nearly 1,000 children in the township are not in school, although the time set for the opening of the schools is long past. Four mules, one yearling, one 2-year-old, one three and one 4-year-old, a pair of good ones, will be sold at Duvall & Morlan’s public sale Thursday, October 9th, at Duvall’s residence on the cemetery road, 1 % miles west of Rensselaer.
