• 88 Ill. 563

Syllabus

<p>1. School law—teacher can not substitute proxy. Where a school teacher is selected and employed, the contract is for the personal services of the teacher so employed, who can not fulfill the contract hiring a substitute, however competent.</p> <p>2. Same—ground for discharging. Where a school teacher leaves her place in the school, placing a substitute in her stead, to teach, and fails to resume her place when requested by the principal having charge of the school, and when asked for an explanation by the directors, gives none, except that she has furnished a competent substitute and will resume as soon as vacation is over, this will be good cause for the discharge by the directors of the teacher thus leaving her employment.</p>
