kn Important Docidon.
An important decision has been
decided by tho assistant attorney
genfeVhl in relation to the
authority of school trustees to
appoint teachers beyond their own
torm^of offioe. The trustees of a
school district in Greenville 001111ty
who went out of office last
spring, claimed the right to electa
teacher !pt Duncan's chapel, who
was to. tt>achl tlietsumtfher school
after their term had expired, which ,
the new trustees thought was an
invasion of their rights. The
county Bupefintendnnt of education
submitted the question to the
attorney general's office, and the
following is the reply: 14You roqusted
to be advised upon tfia following
question: 'Is it legal for j
trustees for any school year to
make oontrapts foy teachers to 1
