{ Judging from reports and appearances
q we should say that the manner of som
of the young men,--We will not say gen
: tlemen, in district No. Is, had been sad
4 ly neglected. 1t is customary for citl
T zeps OF district to visit their school ant
{ see how their scholars are getting along
and this is as it should be but when
comes to that point that every few day
$ certain young persons visit school Jus
d for the purpose OF disturbing 1t an
i harassing the teacher, and then go fort
f and report things that are without foun
: dation, thus doing more hurt to tn
, teacher than could be done IN any Gthe
8 way; then we think it time such thing
}. were looked into by those members {
n the district who haye, or should have, r.
spect for the teacher. These very thing
are being done in the aforesaid distric
y and have been for some time, and "
would ask why not stop 1t? Eneourag
J. the teacher and lend a helping hand; di
Ia countenance such things, and, by S
doing, help to raise the standard of soc
y ety.
