Mr. Editor:-"Y. A" seems amazingly giia
ted over the structures OF your sprightly cor
respondent NJ. S. ID. and is driven by iua-
bility to answer the criticisms into personal
abuse which is certainly in very bad taste and a
confession of weakness. of course, NJ. S. ID.
can hardly answer any such assault but, as a
citizen, wish 20 protest against the unjust as
persion of neglect of duty on the part of one of
our best known, most energetic, painstaking
and efficient teachers, whose seven years of
service in our schools has been thoroughly sat
isfactory to pupils, parents and committee and
whose literary and charitable labors have never
been permitted to interfere in any degree with
school duties.
