Mr., Eprron: | have been trying to
find out, at special public meeting, held
lust after the close of our last annual
school year, what part of the school laws
| had violated, and TO what extent the
punishment is to apply in the case-that
is, whether il was for certain period OF
time, or whether it was to be forever
but | could find out neither the one or
the other. Yet they did not attempt to
show that T had a bad character or bad
habits-for instance, as swearing, drink
ing, fighting, lying, stealing, cheating or
violating any human law, and none OF
these were brought against me. Their
principal aim was to adjourn the meeiing'
which was done very soon, and then, Of
course, there was no further chance for
expression Of thought or action. 1t ap-
pears very strange to me that they can
condemn person and not be Obliged 10
show at least some crime or offence against
him. 1t is true that the Messrs. Editors
of the Clarion, according to their state
meut, last spring. learned that it was my
habit of contrddictihg The teacher l do
not deny having done so. But in doing it
think. it was not only my right but a
duty devolving upon meto adhere 10 and
maintain the truth and right, so that NO
erroneous impressions should be left upon
the minds Of the remainder Of the class,
and if possible from the mind Of our
teacher. Why should school teacher
if not authorized by law, be allowed the
exercise of such an arbitrary and unjust
powerl If the highest officer in the gov
ernment, the President, were TO do wrong
to citizen of bis government, and at th'
same time had the power to shut hi

closed for the present; vessels an the lum'

route. There are but few instances
within the memory OF the oldestinhao
