McKINNEN, July ., Special, The
following explains itself:
Mckinney, July TO the Honorable Supcr-
intendcnt of Public schools:
DEAR SIR:-l must confess that
| feel tlattered to see that YOU
recognize me as State Senator Of
the seventeenth Senatorial district,
nut, with due courtesy to YOU
and your honorable position, must say
that l cannot go into this conspiracy
with you to deceive my people. Know
ing, as | do, the course You pursued last
year in not sending me the sealed gues-
tlons rs you agreed to do in YOUR
printed instructions, sent to me, and
Whlch l now hold i'll my possession and
which state that sealed package con-
tanning questions prepared by the fac
ulty of the Normal school, and not to be
opened until the time fixed for the exam
lnation. will be sent to each Senator TO
be delivered to the examining commit
tee.
Now in the face of the above instruc-
tlons, why did You send the questions to
FRANKLIN, and open at that? We cannot
meet fraud like this. We are all salts
ned that Franklin posted his students.
Tor that purpose. Your printed inStruc-
tons are somewhat changed-uuestious
IN sealed packages not to be opened I'M
I'll the examining committee meets, are
TO he furnished by the State Superin-
tendent to the principal of the Simmer
Normal school, marked S. II. n. |, on
the wrapper. Now, is this more nluui,,~
than i was before? Can't You send two
sets OF questions, one open and the other
sealed and marked? am too old TO he
caught with chaft. think You and Mr..
Balnes can run the whole thing your
selves; MIR. Baincs claims that he
IS the hoard where in letter to Prof.
LooheY he stated that the board Thought
! ~ best to appoint a professor to teach
the summer Normal school in McKin
hey VINO was not mixed up in the John
| SOn-tranklin controversy, and n
short time afterwards. in his published
communications, he states that he
| (BalneS) made the appointment. thp
Governor being absent, he suggested
Mr. Grow, and Mr. Swain agreed TO il,
| therefore we are all satisfied that Mr..
BalncS IL the board, and we further bn-
! lleVe that You and Mr. BaineS. thn
board, can run the Seventeenth Senate
rial district this time, seeing that fine
last ume you sent your pet Franklin
the sealed questions open, so that he
could post his students, and the undc-
illaDle lart that he did post them is an
parolt;, i9r the examining board was
, collpelled to grade his students higher
tnah ants and Morgan, my appointecs.
anu rankin hoaSted of their being so
| graded, but if you call on DR.. Baldwin
You will see whether the Baines n, :
] polntces got their grade through traud
ana prove that Professors I.oonev and
Prlce were not mistaken when they re-
ported TO me that they did not believe
inc grade theN gave was fair, but they
could not help themselves under the
circumstances.
Now look at the shape in which vol:
have gotten the whole thiur. Mr.
Balnes is the acknowledged Board M
Education, he appoints Mr.. Grow princi-
pal TO teach the Summer Normal school
at Mckinney, and you send him the
questions, Who can prevent YOU from
sending the questions open to Mr.,
Franklin as you did before, so that Inc
can post ms students as he did for the
laS' examination, and MIR. Raines will
appoint students again, and if ! nomn.
ate any there will he two sets of studnnt,
again, and | do not like slaughtrrinr
any more OF my appOintses i'm this wny
MI Balnes, the board. does not he.
