A Vindication.

The following letter from Miss Good
sufficiently explains itself, and needs no
comment by Us.
July 27, 1885
Mr.. EpIToR: A friend sent me an
article which your paper contained;
communication by citizen, as a rcbuhe
to the primary teachers. The article
was correct to a certain extent; but il
was unjust, and in fact a downright
slander upon my character, and l wish
you to correct it, The article began:
'Now that our primary school teachers
have been re-appointed, it is to be hoped
that this winter they will do their court
ing behind the scenes" That takes in
all the primary teachers without any
exception; and l, being a primary
teacher, expect you 10 make an eXccp-
ton Of me in your paper that is the
least you can do. The citizen was just
iy indignant at the conduct Of certain
primary teachers, and the things implied
in his note are correct, as Mr.. Ritter
well knows, but was not one of those
teachers. The misconduct of those
teachers would have been made public,
if it had not been chat Mr.. Ritter pitied
them, and hesitatel TO report their mis-.
behavior to the Board of Directors. The
citizens Of Lehighlon know tha5 | was
not one Of those primary teachers for
whom some Of the high school boys
were suspended: bat the community
surrounding Lehighton would have no
opportunity of knowing that fact. It
viii be decidedly unpleasant for ME to
attend Institute next fall, and have
strangers to wonder whether was one
of those senseless primary teachers. Be
kind enough to attend TO this at once,
as anything derogatory to a lady's re
spectabiiity is too serious 4 matter TO
neglect, Respectfully,
MYRA NJ. GOOD.
