v.
RIZER.
No. 27077.
Supreme Court of Indiana
June 7, 1938
Appeal from Orange Circuit Court; Wilber W. Hottel, Judge.
[214 Ind. 529] [15 N.E.2d 391]
Chester A. Davis and Boruff & Boruff, all of Bedford, and Owen S. Boling, of Indianapolis, for appellant.
R. L. Mellen, of Bedford, and Tucker & Tucker, of Paoli, for appellee.
SHAKE, Judge.
The pending motion to dismiss this appeal is hereby denied on the authority of Board of Public Safety of the City of Muncie v. Walling, 1933, 206 Ind. 540, 187 N.E. 385.
Appellee brought an action to recover upon an indefinite teacher's tenure contract. The case was put at issue by a general denial and tried on a second paragraph of complaint. This paragraph alleged that the appellee was a duly licensed teacher under the laws of Indiana; that on September 8, 1929, he entered into a written contract with the appellant to teach for a term of eight months, beginning on September 9th of that year; that pursuant to said contract he did teach during said term; that on September 4, 1930, appellee entered into another contract with said township to teach in its schools, and duly performed said contract; that prior to entering into the contract of September 8, 1929, he had taught in the public schools of said township for more than five years continuously and was, by reason thereof, a permanent tenure teacher; that the township trustee refused to furnish appellee employment as a teacher during the school year beginning in September, 1931, although appellee was at all times ready, willing, able and qualified so to do, and tendered his services to the trustee for that purpose; and that appellee was entitled to recover $1800 on his contract. The contract entered into September 8, 1929, was made an exhibit to the second paragraph of complaint, but the contract of September 4, 1930, was not. There was a judgment against the appellant for $1800, followed by a motion for a new trial, which assigned that the decision was not sustained by sufficient evidence, that [214 Ind. 530] it was contrary to law, and that the court erred in excluding appellant's exhibits 2, 5 and 7.
The errors relied upon by the appellant may be summarized as follows: (1) That the contract sued upon is a necessary part of the complaint; that since the 1929 contract was made an exhibit and that of 1930 was not, the action must be deemed to be predicated upon the...
