DEAR SIR:-In reply to q
communication to your journal,
lated Frogmore, March 2Sth,
1880, and signed by G. G. Har'
yey, | beg leave to state for
myself and in behalf of the
actire members of the School
Board, that we much prefer an
open complaint. a direct attack,
to a system of promiscuous
abuse, as we can always meet II
with rebutting defence. But
the complaint in this instance
is rather uncalled for from the
source from which 1t came, as
full explanation had been made
to Mr.. Harvey of the clrcum>
stances in the case of the Pal
metto school, which are these:
Since the opening OF the schools
of the parish, four different as
signments of teachers to this
school have been made. Three
successiv ely declined TO take
charge OF that school owing to
the inaccessability Of the loca-
ton, its distance from Vidalia
and frequent unsatisfactory ats
tendance of scholars. These
failures necessitated advertis-
ing in the local journals of Con-
cordia and Natchez for teachers
and application to the superin>
tendent of Education at New
Orleans for persons qualified to
take charge of schools. The
Board of Examiners aud Presi-
dent pro TEN have at length Sc
cured the services of a young
man qualified 10 teach prima-
ry school and sent him to take
charge at Palmetto, and if cir
cumstanoes do not prevent, we
trust to keep the schools open
for as long a time as the other
schools are taught.
AS regards school houses, we
would state that the present
Board has built but one in the
parish, and if Palmetto district,
really wants to have a good
school, do as others have done,
secure a building for the pur'
pose.
l would finally call Mr.. Har-
yey's attention to the fact that
the school Board is a body dos
ing the no small amount Of
work which devolves upon it
gratuously, and that said work
falls upon the shoulders of a
very minimum per centage OF
said Board ; the member from
his district, for instance, being
a non-a7tendant.
L. S. SHIELDS,
Pres. pro TEN School Board.
