taken the time to visit our school, which to
my certain knowledge he has not done in
five years, he would certainly have hestated
long before penning the aforesaid false dec
laratioR.
When person makes statement like the
foregoing he thereby assures the public that
he is qualified to judge.
Now frankly offer the following test:
l will submit the comparative quslifca-
ti0ns Of the anthor of the above villifcatiOn
and Miss Tina Johnston, our principal, to a
board Of three competent examiners, and
and have that examination include every
ching connected with the management Of
schools. What say yon!
am tired Of this libel on our schools. and
plainly want it understood that shall en-
gage in the skamng busins IS if there be no
cessation Of this abuse in the future. 1t
would be wrong suppose in me to search
for other motives l shall not, therefore,
say that il . so called graded school were
established some body's property would COM
mand higher price and possibly somebody
else Installed as principal who would be en-
abled to fold his mantle around his portly
form and look as wise as en- owl without the
qualifications requisite to run successfully a
primary department..
