being the same, whether unkpown be kgo or
any other Ounce.
Kgo says that wish TO impress the people
with the idea tina, Il was because the ''ffofcs-
sor'' Of tn, Maryland Spring School had proven
himself efficient, aud had given perfect satisfao-
ton TO the f,ir-minded patrons q said school,
that be was re-appoinled Now, The peopleare

Gle more impressive must say, that Stand

lacts will presently give.
Ego would have US believe that the re-appolnt-
men, Of the Professor was prejudicial 10 the
wel-being Of the majority Of pAtrops 10 The
school dis.rict--iha, little satisfaction had bsen
given, so little, indeed, that to my thisl certain
knowledge twenty pupils ARE keptaway from the
man who had pledged his honor that, u be did
not give satisfaction, ne would resign the school.
These are high words TO use without sustain
ing facts. Who are supposed to be better judges
Of the sentiment Of the patrons and the working
OF the school than the irusiess1 Ego comes forth
with his meek little face and says, ~, and with
out prejudice, too !"
! will now give the facts bearing on the ~ aud
ouT-crooping Of the Maryland Spring School
facts Of which Mr. egotistieal Ego was cognizant
before be penned bis frat article. II is fact
that one Of Ego's disaHected clan first solicited
the present ''Proiessor" 10 teach. II s fact
that one Of the now disaaecied leaders canvass
ed the school district with memorial having for
lis object the appointment of the present Board
OF School Trustees. LISA fact that said memo
rial was signed by all the patrons In the district,
with but three exceptions. |, is also fact that
Ego did not make a tair count Of school-going
pupils--ehildren ofPrsjudieed rGrsnt', not at
tending their district school.
twill thus lie seen how caprieious some peo-
pie are. Nothing that righi can do will satisfy,
and ince such is the case, would advise this
arrogant, presumpluous and prejudiced little Ego
fexcuse adiectives) to be more careful in future
how he attempts TO malign another by the per-
version Of facts.
Ego thinks he made great hh by telling the
public that the Professor after repeated efforts,
| failed to obtain a FIRST grade certificate, then
boasting That he Ego holdsas good one as
does the ''Proiessor.'
The public, think, will justly appreciate the
perseyering 'Professor," because II is notori-
| onsly known that the Examiner has raised the
standard Of examinations, and he TO whom a
6rst grade certificate 10 given must either have a
mind above the average or be in luck, indeed
perhaps Ego had better try, and If successful,
NAV be enabled, by introducing the Telephone, to
| teach in as many different schools at the same
| time as he was applicant for Of one time during
| last vacation Don't get angry, Ego,--these are
facts and deductions frOm facts.
Gratefully &c.
