teacners,
If Mr.. T. was acceptable to them and they
took the responsibility of nominating him.
they should regard them as she exponents of
the views OF the parents OF South Washing
ton and confirm the nomination.
Mr.. j. s. Brown said that the only proper
mode of obtaining the sentiments of the
people on that subject was by send ing q COM
mittee to the parents of the children and OBJ
tanning their views.
Mr.. W. H. Browne said the responsibility
would be on the sub-board, and he would
He had known Mr.. Thompson for several
years, AID when the charges were made last
year and he was denounced in such terms he
could scarcely believe that 1t was John E.
Thompson who was thus charged
Mr. Dyer said that he had never doubted
but that the sentiment of the people of South
ard he believed that the sub-bOard OF the
| fourth district, representing Is they did those
citizens, had done right in making the NOM
ination, but he had fully made up his mind
| on the subject, and he could not conscien-
| tiously vote for Mr.. Thompson.
Mr.. Lloyd again urged that the citizens
knew Mr.. Thompson best. and they desired
his return, feeling assured that he will be a
success, and the wishes of the people should
be respected.
Mr.. j. s. Brown asked-Do you conscien-
tiOusly believe that the schools of the fourth
district have not been as well conducted this
year as during the preceding year?
Mr.. Lloyd answered that he did so, consci.
entlously. He respected Mr.. Springer as q
gentleman, but thought that Mr. Thompson
was the best man for the place.
Mr.. Curtis regretted that tn is subject should
again come before the board and thought the
sub board OF the fourth district were asking
too much-asking the board to stultiiy them
selves. He urged that action be deferred re-
marking that he had given his promise to
certain parties that should new nominations
be made action would be deferred until the
reorganization.
Mr.. Hovey said that he did not suppose
that any member of the board would hesitate
10 vote, and as for himself he was ready, but
he was just as willing that the new board
should pass upon the question.
MI Curtis again urge1 that action be de-
ferred: saying he had given his promise that
the subject should 60 over, and 1t applied to
all new nominations.
Mr.. Lloyd;-When majority of the board
may favor his election?
Mr.. Curtis said that the gentleman would
be SATISFIED III he knew what had trans pired !,
but he was not at liberty to state fully.
Mr. j. s. Brown withdrew his resolution
and Mr. Hovey renewed it, with an amend
ment, deferring action to the July meeting.
MIR. Lloyd called for a vote on the resolu-
lion and It was lost. Yeas s-Messrs. j: S.
