LOUISE TO CLARA.

LOUISE TO CLARA.
DEAR CLARA: have just returned
from the country where | have been for
the last three days. | received your let
ter and read with care your many refer
ences. / received letter from Aspasia,
few days ago, i'm which she statee many
things about our schools, which should be
stopped. can afford to wait few years
longer, and at that time or perhaps be-
fore, there will be radical change on the
board and i'm the schools i'm general.
There is some talk of the removal of G
F. T. c. Well / won't object. l be-
lieve change Of that head will put the
schools upon n higher basis. have flv-
ored this time. His ideas will not suit
in this advanced age. We need men of
wide and advanced views. Clara, you
have no idea how feel for the poor girls
who are compelled to subject themselves
to those two unsophisticated supervising
principals. 1t is an imposition upon the
people and something which will not
stand long. j. III. B. must go next year.
| understand that II. J. will probably be
appointed in his place, if there is no eppo-
sition to him. | fear he will have hard
time to get through. He has not made
peace with the boys yet, and until then
he had better give up the idea. had
rather have anybody chan the man who is
the trustee Of .ae seventh division.
There is also some dissatisfaction TO Ii. 5.
III. J. says that he is controlled by G. F.
7. C. don't believe it. H. J. is doing
him harm among his friends who pre-
sumed that they had got a man who
could not be tainted with that old regime.
| am confident that the boys are deter
mined to win in spite OF opposition. |
have more confidence in the boys, than
those who will not succumb till they are
made. You know Clara, that the boys
have been successful. You have been a
little prejudiced, and have favored the
old regime, while have opposed it and
shall do so until the whole system is re-
formed. | had attended the ST. Angus
tines Fair during the week. You should
attend without fail. met the Misses S.
sisters of A st. A. S., they are sweet girls.

was particularly noticed. J. was behind
as usual. Nit is a fine girl. I had a
pleasant chat with j. she is one of my
fayOrites. Her mother has a table OH the
left as you enter the door. Flo and Alice
are generally there. Give them call.
spoke to you some time ago about mar
ried men and single girls. shall give
fair warning to them, / saw something
last week, which l certainly will inform
you if it is repeated. I cannot see why it
is that married men will come and 90 to
entertainments with single young ladies,
and leave their wives at home. Where is
the lady's self respect? She should know
that the married man is going with her
for no good. Society should scOrn such
people. The trustees of the public
schools should look after this and see that
those teachers who have the care of chill
dren's morals should be above suspicion.
A single woman who associates with mar
ried and immoral single men are not
above suspicion. / have noticed one or
two of our school marms in company con-
tinuously with married men. One of
these ladies holds an important position
i'm the schools, but, she seems to disre.
gard the fact that the man is married,
and has child, or perhaps two. l know
Clara, this is very distasteful to you and
our associates and more painful to the pa
rents of these girls who have struggled so
hard to bring their children up. 1t must
be stopped. If they have no respect for
themselves, they should have respect for
society. III see any more of it l shall
a tale unfold. You have often said that
you would like to meet Mrs. B. X. B.
She is very industrious at home. Her lit
tie son Roscoe, is novelty, He is smart
boy. will call with you any time to see
her. When the senator becomes cabi-
net officer, she will be a flower in society.
She has all the qualities of a cultivated
English lady. The citizens held meet
ing Wednesday night for the purpose of
the dangerous school build
ing, which is in John BIS. division. 1t is
very wrong that he is compelled to hold
meetings now to request the commission
ers what is good and what is bad. visi-
ted the Asbury church last Sunday eveu-
ing and while there to my surprise, the
poor members of the church were re-
quested to contribute to send one of its
