Pertinent Questions.


NJ. Editor What is the matter will
our County School Commissioners Car
they not select three Trustees at Poolesvile
competent to name an assistant teacher oil
the public school at that place? think il
a gross outrage upon the public that our
Board should appoint Trustees so incom-
petent. understand that the Trustees of
Poolesville were very DESTROYS of filling the
position of assistant teacher at that place,
but the school bosses had to give them a
little lesson by appointing an assistant over
the recommendation of the Trustees and
some of the patrons. This is nothing but
right; what is the use of having bosses UNI
less they show their authority Let us keep
pace with the progress of the age, u hfuRa-
crate and assistant lay all over the wishes
OF the people or the patrons Of a public
school. am surprised that the Trustees
and some of the school patrons should grum-
BILE about II small matter like this, but when
| recollect that Poolesville is so far from
Baltimore, the residence of the head of our
schools, l can account for the ignorance of
the Trustees and the people. The motto is,
the public schools must, at all hazards, be
run in the interest Of certain parties, or, in
short, certain parties must keep up the pub
lie schools, and in return the public schools
must keep up certain parties. One good
turn deserves another
MONoCACY.
