9 ~ minutes to sec the cause Of the stir.
We soon found out that matters In How

1uls - sho would say nothing on the
aehool question, except that she had re-
cstved letter, signed by two school
eommttteemen, etsting a. follows:
1--WE desire to inform you that after .
careful consideration we have come to
the conclusion that = change In the prss
ent List Of teachers Is necessary for the
beat interest Of the school,"
She does not know the cause OF her
suspension, as it has not even ben
limited to her by the board or principal,
and after having taught successfully for
aoyen years and standing above auy
teacher Of the school Goa an aversge),
ahe thinks, As all others do, that she has
. right TO know the cause OF her suspen-
sion. As II 10 the public don't know,
and this makes 1t unpleasant fer her.

Our school system will be very little
oetter than 1t 10. Tho school children

Mr.. A. Brinkle, editor of the Twi-
light, was confirmed In the Presby teran
hission, Fourth and Shipley streets. on
Sunday.
MessrA Jones, Robinson, Sterling and
Anderson are highly compllmented TOR
the:r letter on the school question.

before tue public; he proposes to hold
meetings and connect with his services
some good musical talent He 10 gain

this city unequalied by any other nan OF
his race.
We see by thu Morning News that
"ungovernab.e temper and failure to
cooperate with the teachers" are the
charges brought out by DIR. Morgan,
who appears to have the school in
charge. 1t Is strsngs how this lady has
taught successfully for seven years and
just now has this charge preferred
against ler We haven't the leaet
doubt that DR.. Morgan Is pure in his
motives, but II is fact that cannot be
denied that several oil the teachers do
Eot speak and have not for one year at q
slime. Is 1t just to dismiss one and let
the rest 60 unpunished! 1t crops out
again that there has always been an i'll
feeling cultivated in the mind Of Miss
Kruse since q certain examination, in
which Miss Lewis appears 10 have won
the honors. We have no interest in
either, but certainly think that Miss
Lewis should DO heard as well is Miss
Kruse. r. H.
