The remarks OF Professor Young at
the meeting last evening. with reference
to the attendance Of the school children
at the coming reception OF General
Grant, were illtimed and q matter OF
regret to many OF his friends. Professor
Young was requested yesterday. by the
Gold Hill Board Of School Trustees, to
notify the teachers and scholars under
his charge, before the dismissal OF the
schools Tor the week, that 1t was the
desire Of the School Board that the Gold
Hill teachers and scholars should join
in the reception. Yet, at the meeting
last evening, Professor Young said that
be had not given the desired notice, and
intimated that rather than turn out and
assume any responsibility a. to the chill
dren he would resign his position. Per.
haps it il we'll to avoid any public dis.
cussion Of this question at present, bu,
it Is q matter for the taxpayers and
parents OF Gold Hill to pass upon
at some future time. They will have to
decide whether they will sustain Profess
sor Young in his uuwise aud unpstriotic
course. We promise the Professor, how.
ever, that we shall. at another time.
fully investigate this matter. and IL there
are teachers and employees In our public
schools who prefer to resign than to
perform q plain duty. tho opportunity
may be afforded. The public schools
belong to no one person and are not
sustained by the public money to pro-
vide positions for those who desire to
rebel against the plainly expressed
vish,s of taxpayers and parents.
