DON'T MIsUNDERsTAND.-T pub
lie is doubtless aware that DIR. Y. K.
Iron has consented to take the superin-
tendency of our Public School and
High School to be opened about the
first of January 10 this place. He has
been Jealous and indefatigable
worker in the cause of public educa-
tion ever since his sojourn among Us
and, without disparagement to any one,
it may justly be said he has done more
10 the cause than any other. Seeing
the present difficulty of setting our
High and Public Schools in immediate
operation, and unwilling that the great
work should be retarded or obstrncted
by lack of necessary funds, he gener-
onsly and. we think, nobly offered his
personal services until such reasonable
time as may be sufficient to dispense
with them. Some are apt to imagine
that having entered this field of useful
ness he will abandon the practice of
his profession. Not so; he will pursue
it withnnt any interruption whatever.
