find his labor and time spent in vain.
He also found fault because the children
were not so far advanced as he thinks they
should have been. How does he know He
did not visit the schools when they opened
nor did he when they closed. Now, how
can he tell where they started or ended 4?
All he can tell about the advancement is in
his own child, and surely she is good and
clear case TO judge and go by. Aiibn"
told me personally, that she did not advanes
as far as she did the previous year under
some other teacher, but he should take both
sides in consideration, and not blame the
directors and teachers. Why yddnt"Anon's"
child advance as far as she did the previous
term simply because she went TO school one
day and stayed out the other, thereby get
ting four and half an months schooling
out of a nine months term, wouldn't he be
going for the Board of Controllers, if they
would reduce heterm from nine (9) months
to four and half (4I) months, there would be
no letting up, but as it is, we have a nine
months term and the children, Of course,
need only attend half the time, but the ad-
vancement is looked for, saine as If they
would have attended every day of the term.
1t is always difficult for the teachers and
directors to advance scholars without the

considers cooperation to mean that q scholar
need only attend half of the term and when
ever a child is justly punished for the parent
to at once without investigating the matter,
use such language, as they will see if they
can't put stop to it, their children do not
deserve such treatment, &c, &c. We have
heard it,and failed in advancing our scholars
Now l would propose to our good people
that we give " Anon" a chance to put his
ideas into practice, they are so far in ad-
vance of anything have heard of, and
ain sure If they had been known prior to the
election a year or more ago, he certainly
would not have been defeated at the election.
lie has been a teacher where or when, do
not know, but he knows just how schools
should be conducted, and | would say give
him chance, he can advance the children
without attending school and without in
hicting any punishment, once more ! say
make him monarch ofall-he will be happy,
and our school will prosper. ALPHA.

another broadside into the "ring,' freighted

suit. AT the present the victory seems to be
