ST. AUGUSTINE, April 16, 1859

st. AUGUSTINE Apfli 10, IooJ'
Dear FrcemaA We beg a space in
YOUR columns for few remarks with re-
gard TO the Injustice with which we have
been treated by the school directors Of Clear
fld township. We engaged to teach N
Schools Nos 9 and 5, for the sum of $50 per
month, if the schools were conducted pro-
perly otherwise, from S26 to $2I, according
to the satisfaction given. OF course We were
under the impression that if complaints
were entered, the directors would apprise
Us of the fact end visit the schools before de-
ciiif.g against US. Consequently, when our
schools were closed without any evidence
of dissatisfaction on their part. or any u sits
hdriRq been made TO either Of The schools 6zf
any member of The Board, we supposed that
no deduction from the sum Arst specified
would be made. The teacher of Schorl No.
8 was Motif ID during the third month that
one of the citizens complained of her losing
time, thereby throwing the close of school
term too late in the season.. The director
who spoke Of it was satisfied that the delay
had been unavoidable. and as not day was
lost after that time and an order for $50 as
her third months salary was written soon af-
forwards, this should not have been consid-
cred at all when the fourth months salary
was to be paid. This was the only thing
spoken of till eur schools were closed our
reports taken in and examined. and orders
on the treasurer for ttgeRtly-SeUen dollars in
full were written by the Secretary. We
were then informed that it had been decided
by majority Of the Board that no teachers
against whom complaints had been made
should receive orders fer thirty dollars, and
that we had each been charged by two cit
zens of the township with neglecting our
duties in the school room-iIl every case by
persons who had never entered our school
room doors. One of these had expressed
dissatisfaction to the teacher and was invi-
ted to visit the school, which he refused to
do In schools numbering, respectively
over seventy and over forty pupils, this was
the only instance of dissatisfaction which
came to our knowledge during the session
If these complaints wese made during the
term we should have been apprised of it ;
if they We're not they were useless and un-
necessary, and should not have been accept
ed. The triAing sum of three dollars taken
from our rightful earnings we DO not consid-
er, but the fact that our wages were lower
than those of other. teachers in the township
NAV not prove good recommendation in
other districts where we shall apply for
schools hereafter The circumstances having
been misrepresented, we feel that our repu-
tation as earnest and consci entious teachers
is at stake, and have taken this method of
defending it.. 1aa aoal Ea @
In conclusion, the teacher of School No. 5,
having been requested to settle with school
orders yet in her hands the taxes of person
in another township, in whose liabilities she
is not concerned, it is respectfully suggested
that she be appointed Collector of Taxes for
the coming year. Very respectfully,
JOSIE AND LIMA.
