• 67 Ill. 511

Syllabus

<p>1. School teacher—right to recover wages. Where two of the three school directors consent to the employment of a teacher, and he exhibits to them the proper certificate of qualification to teach, at the time of his employment, and he teaches the school according to contract, and makes out and delivers a schedule to one of the directors, who signs and retains it, the teacher will be entitled to recover the wages agreed to be paid him.</p> <p>2. Appeal—trial de novo without regard to errors of justice of the peace. The fact that the justice of the peace improperly refused to grant a change Of the venue of a suit brought before him, affords no ground for a dismissal of the suit on appeal, as the justice had jurisdiction of the subject matter, and the trial in the circuit court is de novo.</p>
