The wanton and unwaranted abu Sc of
one ofthe teachers in our district was brought
to the immediate attention of portion OF
our school board they visited the school
and unanimously sustained the teacher, and
gave notice of their intention to do so at all
times. The teacher is we'll qualified, has
given entire satisfaction to all who send
children to the school, has the school under
perfect control, is endorsed by our worthy
superintendent, and viii be retained in the
district despite the Efforts of one or two who
are but personally opposed. The ungentle-
manly line Of abuse adopted against this
teacher deserves the condemnation Of all
good citizens, which we are glad to know
is the case.

groom. All join in extending to Tom the
usual compliments.

many took part we did not hear. The leader,

The closing exercises of our public
schools, was interesting, The examination
was conducted by Horace D. Haydt, in both
schools, Miss Mead being too i'll to attend,
The examination was very creditable, the
certificates received by each scholar ranging
high. Miss Ida McKelyey secured the first
prize, Hal. Beers the second, and Lille
Burns the third, in the grammar school;
james Connerty the first, and Roddy Doon
the second, in the primary school, Mr..
Haydt and Miss Mead have been successful
teachers, and should nothing occur to pre-
vent them, shall be glad to see them return
the next term.
We are under obligations to the Hon.
Robert Klntz for favors. The speech Of the
Hon. E. S. Bragg should be read by every
voter. ANON.
