forced upon them by political demagogues. Now,
Sir if this is reasonable and feasible plan, let us
have your aid in initiating the move, aud We believe
il will result in good. In Allegany County Conven-

When another gentleman was nominated as chair

cougbed his indignation at such proceeding, declar
ing himself insulted; and the teachers wishing to
avoid wIangle with a drunken man, permitted hin
to have hs own way. During the delivery of the pre-
sebtaton speech the sef.consiituted chairman anus
I'd himself by making drunken gestures and comic
faces which excited the mrth of tnOse present to such
degree that not only attention 10 the speaker
inpOs,ibe, but be frequently interrupted by
laughter and disorder. The speech over, Mr.. Henry
staggered up to Madame Ang to offer his congfatu'
latiUis and il not until gentleman had actually

embarrassing situation. The wonder Is that the teach
ers tolerated his conduct

SIR: While your correspondents are remarking upon

call up en- old subject Months ago we were startled
by hearing Of the cruetes and ngue-burning prac-

Principal OF the Public Schooi there That teacher,
who guilty Of burning her pupil tongue against the
stovc as punishment, has not been removed She
continues to visit her empty school daily and
ceve her salary of $500 regularly though the Ten
Governors wiLct permit the CHILDREN under their care
10 attend so long as she is retained by the School
Board. But the Ten Governors cannot remove her
