Editor Of the Monitor,
Dear Sir.-In your paper of Feb.
10th, an anonymous article referring to
affairs of the South Glover school, which
served to give wrong impression in re-
gard to that school and some of its pupils.
mittee and the school supervisor the writ
er here replies, in order to correct what
is wrong, and, in justice to the school.
The statement in said article that the
school-house was broken into and prop
erty destroyed, appears to be without
any foundation in fact, and also the state
ment that the three young men referred
to were expelled by the decision of three
Barton men. The three Barton men de-
cided another and different question.

and could not well decide otherwise than
they did. The school is better than a
good average school. OF this the writer
is convinced by his own experience in
it during the term just closed, and also
by that of the lady teacher who taught
the fall term, and who had for pupils the
same ones complained of in said article,
and who kept one of the best schools ever
had in the district. The three pupils com
planned of are among the most advanced
in scholarship to be found in the public
schools of the county, and during the
term have been uniformly studious, intel
igent and gentlemanly. 1t is quite prob
able that outside influence was the first
cause that resulted in the break of the
school. School troubles are apt to be
very much exaggerated, and it is proba-
BILE that had the writer of the former art-
Gle written over his own signature, he
would have written differently or else not
at all. Very truly,
