Mr.. ED1ToR The question submitted to
the Directors of the Village District Schools,
it seems to me, was a fair one, and entitled to
plain answer. As the case now stands. Mr..
Earle made request to have the schools
suspended, that all the children might 90 to
his meetings. Some OF the SCHOOLS were
suspended and the children told to 90 there.
Now, the simple question to be answered is,
was this by the authority of any OF the Di
rectorS, or was it the action of the persons in
charge of the schools?
The request on the part of Mr. Earle may
have been a very modest one, but | believe
it to be one no resident pastor would have
made, under any circumstances Now, let us
have the answer.
In relation to the query proposed by your
correspondent TX, | will simply say that if
the ice was so thin that it endangered life BY
skating on it, aud if the meetings were of
sucn character that children went home in
such nervous condition that the neighoor's
children were called III to stay with them,
should say that both were improper.
