closed in Eagle Valley by one of the
trustees. The teacher, as a punishment
to one of the scholars, ordered the boy to
stand out on the floor, when the promis.
ing youth addressed some very vulga,
and improper language, to the teacher,
whereupon she turned him out of school.
The boy was sent back to school, but the
teacher ordered him away. Chas. Lytle,
trustee and = relation Of the boy, took
it upon himself and closed the school. A
child may be allowed to address out
rageous language to its parents at home,
which may be considered by them a.

such vulgar language should never b,
used toward teacher. If teacher il
not permitted to make scholars obey ant
behave, she certainly cannot teach tn
children. The trustees or parents shout,
not uphold their children in such out
rageous conduct.
