A Card From Prof. Vance.

As TO THE SCHOOL ELECTION NEXT
SATURDAY. PATRONS OF THE PUBLIC
SCHOOL-In the election next Satur-
day you are to determine the question
of a principal for the ensuing year. In
this matter my record as a teacher for
the last eight years IS before you, and
by this record l am willing to be judg-
ed. If in your wisdom you determine
the welfare of the school demands a
change. shall humbly submit to the
will of the majority. But in the con-
test the only legitimate question at is
sue is the good of the school. Yet
am not insensible to the fact that, for
pretended and personal reasons, GER
tain individuals are opposing my re-
tention as principal, and in view of
what l have done for their children
these same persons ought to be asham-
ed to look me in the face. But at the
same time, if the fair-minded people
of the district will brush aside all per-
sonalities and prejudices and false ex
cuses, and cOnfine themselves strictly
to the question at issue, have no ap-
prehension as to the result. l have
never in my life opposed a man or a
measure for one reason and assigned
another; such a position is at once I'M
tenable and worthy only of the con-
temptible towards who are thus sac
rifcing manhood and honesty for pref
udice and secret revenge. If there
are those in the district who believe
the school has been properly managed,
the chileren properly protected and
instructed, it is to you that this card is
directed with the hope you will not
suffer your minds to be diverted from
the real issue by the cowardly whine
OF a few who would take the last
mOuthful from you or your family, if
they could thereby increase their own
store or satisfy a feeling of revenge
which they have not the manhood to
confess or satisfy in person. There is
another class engaged in this fight on
me, who are so low down that they
ars never happier than when they are
trying to drag others down to their
level. And still another class who
whine around and say, .'oh he has the
post-ofice, aud one position is enough
for a man." How many of such do you
presume would turn away from po
sitinn or side line of business by which
they could honorably increase their
income? Put the question to them, if
you please. / thank God that l have
never been so small and envious as to
detract one cent from the prosperity of
my fellowman. When you prosper l
prosper. and vice versa. have lived
long among you, and what ! make is
divided up in the way of expenses
without prejudice or partially.

faction being confined to the three
members of the board it is only neces-
sary to state that names of patrons OF
the school-those who had children in
Mr.. VS. room last winter, to say moth
ing of those who kept their chi ldren
away on his account-have been men
toned before the board as having had
enough of Mr. V. as teacher, and
have asked for a change. So. MIR. Ed
itor, we are not alone in our sins.
Charge Sd Politics. Mr.. Editor,
100 per cent. of that charge is correct.
But unfortunately. it is the.'other OK
that is gored." Politics has entered
too largely into our school matters,
and has seriously affected our school
interests and welfare. But we shall
have to commend the ingredients of
your poisoned chalice to your own lips.
When, sir, did politics begin to work
detrimcntally to our school! 1t began
when Mr.. V. two years ago asked per-
mission of the board if you recollect,
to be allowed to dismiss his school for
one week, so that he could attend a
certain political convention, and which
was MT.
", granted; for. since that time Mr..
VS. interest in school matters has been
waning. as any one who has the re-
quisite amount of "horse sense can
not have failed to have observed. Sat-
urated with politics and burdened and
worried by official duties he is not in a
condition to know exactly "where he
is at when in the schOol-room, judg-
ing, at least, by the treatment of some
of his scholars and his management
during the last two terms. Mr.. Editor,
some of the Taxpayers who "go down
into their pockets for the benefit of the
school, desire a change and have tim
idly dared to raise their voices to the
powers that be, or that would be. to
ask that a teacher be employed who,
by being foot-loose from other duties
can give US value received for what is
considered very good salary.
Very Respectfully,

IRONTON. September 8

IRoNTON, September 3, 1894.
Editor Of Register-Your local edi-
torial in last weeks issue regarding
the school question demands a reply,
for the reason that the false statements
therein are calculated to mislead the
public as to the facts in the case. We
say nothing of the uncalled for slur
thrown at three members of the board,
passing that kind of coin for what it
will bring in the '.market Of the
world" and letting the fair-mainded
people of this district and community

three members referred to.
Now these three members are charg-
ed as follows: 1st, with being in fav-
or of nybody-''not mncn matter

OF this charge can be shown by calling
your attention to the list of humorous
applicants that have been on file with
the board since early in the spring, all
of whom have testimonials of the
highest character, signed by various
prominent educators and school Off
cial-Supt. Wolfe, II. c. Norton. Prof.
Vandiver and Others-and several of
whom are known to members of the
board as gentlemen and as educators
of many years experience; we have,
therefore, had ample and good timber
to choose from. We have repeatedly
stated at the sessions of the board that
We were not willing to support any
body-ssno matter whom"--il order
to secure a teacher. To show this:
One applicant was not placed in
nomination, though his application
and testimonials were read before the
board, for the reason that a well
known and disinterosted gentlemen OF
this community, not member OF the
board, gave US such information as to
lead US to believe that he would not
suit. and. therefore. We did not con-
slider .'much matter whom" in the
race.
This certainly disposes of the first
charge.

neglectful of his school duties and has
made the school secondary consider
alton; and Mr.. V. has successfully
shown that the saying, ..uo man can
serve two Masters" is true. No, Mr..
Editor. he has undertaken to perform
too much.
Now. is it by reason of the worries
and veXations of his office that he goes
to the school room, at times, in an ir-
ritated condition of mind and visits
upon the innocent pupils the ''venom
OF his spleen" and with rare sarcasm
and ill humor sees fit to call them
little liars" and other names not
pleasant to be heard in any place, let
alone from a teacher to his pupils?
Is it by reason of his multifurious du-
ties that he negiects to hear certain
classes recitee
These things have been stated before
the board, repeatedly, and can be
proven; further, charges of this nature
were made against Mr.. V. several
years ago and nearly cost him his po-

board deny this. AS to the dissatis-
