Indignation Over Reported Vote
in One of the Public SchoO

Indignation Over Il Reported Vote
in One of THE Public chools.
A good-sized feeling of Indignation
has beer aroused in this city by re-
port published in a Republican organ
here to the effect that one of the teach
ers in our city pubic schools had been
taking poll of her scholars on the
question of president, and that the ell
tire school was in favor of Harrison.
While no one believes that it was
factor that the teacher ever stated it as
such, the public in general are lncensed
at the manner in which the teacher at
temptS partisan political education.
People who send their children to the
public schools do not desire them to re-
ceive instruction in politics or religion.
If that kind of training Is desired by
any parent they prefer to select the
school to which they send their chill
dren. The action of the teacher has
been criticised very generally, and the
board of education will be called upon
TO investigate the matter at once.
Among the prominent citizens who
have expressed the Indignation that is
generally felt are the following:
Aid W. s. Conrad-It IS an outrage. W do
not pay our High school taxes for political
instruction..
Hon. b. w. Durant-The teacher referred
to has gone beyond the bounds of propriety,
and should be discharged at once.
Hon. r. NJ Anderson-It is in bad taste.
The teacher should be discharged.
/. W. C. Masterman-POlitical education OF
any character is out of place i'll our public
schools.
Us. O'Brien-We do not employ our pub
lie school teachers for any such purpose.
4. Frederick-When our public schools be-
come a nursery Tor the republican party IL is
time for some one to object
Hon. C. p Gregory do not believe 1t IS
true that any teacher would do such thing
1t is outside the province of teacher 10 IN
culcate political doctrines, or seek to identify
her pupils with any political party,

bounced.
