The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1857-02-26
COMMUNICATION,

Our Little CoEcomb has taken quite ar
ofense at an article which was published
in the Standard of Feb. IL, 81. Whether
the writer intended the above article fol
him or not, is best known to himself
though it appears, the shoe fits evry ueH
| (if you will allow me the expression.) HI
is quite sarcaslical in his remarks on my
grammatical construction, Perhaps, he had
as well reUiew his own and see how i
corresponds with grammatical accuracy
In his first sentence he says. II notice q
little squib, full ofgrammatical and logi-
Cal errors, purporting to be written by ar
over concci;ed school-kecper who sticks
somewhere out here in Liberty township
| would like to know where he finds the
word schooI-keeper; query, wonder if ii
was not under his httie 8hawi? was not
aware, till saw his squib, that there ac
tuaIIy is an adheSiOn between the surface
Of Liberty Tp, and myself for certainly
that is the sense of the verb stuck. the
way it stands in the sentence; admitting
his hypothesis to te true, is it not rery
strange how go to Scioto Tp., to teach
school. If he las spelled hypocrisy as it
is spelled in his article, he had better
study Orthoyraphy before he teaches an
other school. "IIc says that extended
the right hand Of fellowship to him since
that article WAS penned' | do not rccol,
lect that l did, but admitting that to be
so, it was not that esteemed him very
highly. Our Little Pcdagoguc says
"Now the whole sole cause Of the fdget."
A braggadocio who makes such great
pretensions to bcllcslettcrs, should not use
SO many tautoiogieS in his composition,
"whoie aad Soie" and except only are
cmampIes; take care my little braggart,
remember the ancient maxim, chose who
live in gIasS houses, should not throw
stones AcademciQnS should be Uery
careful in their writing, not to use such a
ruigar word as "fdget," You had better
be cautious Mr. Cashmere in your indiling,
or you will be covered from the crown OF
your head. to the soles of your feet with
rutgariSmS, tautoIogleS and inaccurate
phrases. lie goes on TO say, "Now
he whole sole cause Of the fdget, into
which our worthy friend has immersed
himself, is because that in giving out the
word glory in my school, followed it by
Il little explanation, which he has con.
stlued into sectonaIism. But the Little
fellow takes very good care not to publish
the full explanation which he gave the
word, therefore, shall be under the ne.
cessily Of givingil for him. A little boy
in school was spelling the word glor, and
whcE he had named the loltors, could not
pronounce it; and our acadcmlcian by
way of explanation says to him edo you
not know what the Mcihojtsis say, when
they go to meeting? Il gcntlemanIy ex-
PLANTATION truly! do not wish to be un.
dcrSlood rs having n preference for that
denomination, but | think it ought to be
on an egnaliiy with other denominations,
at least, in our public schools, as the
School LAW makes no dIStiHcii0H. The
Little Chap speaks about lis Sacred rights
being invaded, cannot see where he can
claim any rights or demands of the good
people of THIS county, for when he came
here. he held himself superior in point of
Literature to several of the w0rihy citizens
Of this vicinity, and not only that, but
tried to make sport of some of us ! sup
pose when he landed here, he expected
to become Lille Chief among us, think
ing that the most of us are ignordmuSes.

qualifications as teacher examine The

public proPegty)
