Won’t Recognize Teachers’ Union.

Linton, July 25.—The so-called teachers’ union recently organized by instructors of schools in Stockton township, outside of Linton, is not recognized by the state, according to a letter from Jesse Eschbach, examiner of the state board of accounts in reply to an appeal from Trustee James Roach. The teachers asserted Roach could employ only “home” tutors and must meet pteU demands for wage Increases, even at the cost of cutting the school term to six months. Eschbach instructed Roach to “use his own judgment,” but declared the demands unjust.
