Mr.. EDITOR Il hear it remarked upon the
streets, that the =" Board of Education" will not
respond to my request of last week, because
not made over known and responsible sig
nature. This it strikes me, is the sheerest
evasion, and evinces mere childish curiosity
to discover who "Tax Payer is.
The facts called for, of public interest,
and Ony person in the district could ask for
their publication, with the utmost proprety.-
Indeed, it should be the highest pleasure, and
duty Of the Board" to lay them before the
people without solicitation.
AS faithful public servantsy%who have dis
charged their duty honestly, intclligeRtly, and in
such manner as to promote the interest con-
fided to their care, they should seek the open
day. and studiously avoid anything, and eUery-
thing that bears the sembance Of concealment.
Such, it appears however. Is not TO be tie
course of the Board.' This regret. | have
asked only that which myself and srsry tax
payer in the district is clearly entitled to
know and we have cause to, and do complain
at the refusal of the Board to comply with my
request.
II is we'll known that some of the ex-members
Of the Board were charged with Extravaganza,
in ;heir management of the affairs of the school,
and that some Of the present members were not
dilatory in giving publicity to the imputation.
The people, it seems, believed the charge, and

" RetreRchment and RGform.'
Upon the reform which has been effected in the
conduction OF the school affairs, it is unneces-
sary to comment as the every day observations
of each of our citizens must enable him to ar
rive at a satisfactory conclusion upon that
point.
But now, after two years exercise of the
financial ability of the leading spirits of the
Board, we need more light to discover the
promised evidences of economy. We wish to
see the problem solved--how it is that economy
consists in an increase of fifty per cent in the
expenditures of the school.
