Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. That part of section 4956, Code 1915, concerning the payment of teachers by the order of school directors, signed by the county school superintendent, is inconsistent with chapter 105, section 5, Laws 1917, and the system outlined therein, and consequently was repealed. P. 251</p> <p>2. The power to hire a school-teacher presupposes the right to dismiss her. P. 255</p> <p>3. The control of rural schools is vested in the county board of education, and not in the board of school directors. P. 255</p> <p>4. In the absence of statutory provisions, there exists in the employing agency an implied right to dismiss a teacher for adequate cause. In rural schools this implied right vests in the board of school directors and county board of education jointly. P. 256</p>
