The charges which 1.-THE Board" haa

Any other way would Be- disrsspectiul
to Miss Cruss. The official dismissal Of
Miss Lowis says that the authorities have
for sometime been contemplating q
change In her room, etc.
Now, the charge Of s'uugovernable
temper" comes on very lame legs against
a teacher whom the same ''board" has
been hiring for seyen years. Did "the
board" not know Of hor very ungoverna-
ble temper all this time, or has she recently
developed this rabid disposition? II "the
boar,r' knew 1t before, should they not
have cried out ere this? Are they good
and faithful servants to allow = young

The facts considered, therefore, proveI
one OF two things, II not both, that tn
directors are either irlghtfully incom-
petent or frightfully neglectful OF theiI
own duty. We do not care to follow th,
hard Conclusions Of logic in this matter.
