A TEACHER TALKS.
He HAS GRIEVANCES, AND TELLS
WHAT THEY ARE.
A Spirited Communication in Which Conn
missioner Glenn and the State School
Laws Are Touched Up.

Spirited Communication IN "hlch Nom-
missioner Glenn and the State School
Laws Are Touched Up.
Mr.. EDITOR: Your report of the pro-
ceedings of the teachers institute in
reference to Commissioner Glenn did not
state fully the facts in the case. AS a
body the institute did not have an oppor-
tunitv TO endorse Glenn. A resolution
vas offered for this purpose and upon the
appearance of opposition it was with
drawn. The party Offering the resolu-
ton claims that it would have passed II
it had been voted upon. Be this as it
NAV. it is certain the teachers did not
have an opportunity to refuse to endorse
Glenn. If they had, 1 believe they would
have done so almost unanimously.
There are some things connected with
this controversy which would, perhaps,
be of interest to the general reader. The
teachers have suffered many things from
the school laws of Georgia. There has
pever been line of legislation, so far as
the common school system is concerned,
which had either the tendency or pur-
pose to elevate school teachers or school
eachng. Every line of such legislation
which affects teachers at all has the ten
dency, if not the purpose, to degrade
them.
AS long as these evils touched only the
pocket or the reputation of the teacher
they were borne uncOmplainingly But
when they touch the character the teach
ers cannot afford to be silent.
1t will be remembered that the !nsti-
tute asked three things of the legisla-
ture. First, the right of appeal; right
enioved by every other human being on
earth except a Georgia school teacher
Second. that a scholastic month be de-
fined as embracing four weeks. This is.
and has been from time immemorial,
school month all over the civilized world.
The legislature thought of nothing else
when the school law was passed. But
Glenn's ruling is that a calendar month
is school month. This only robs the
teachers of few days work, which they
can afford to lose. Third, that when a
teacher faithfully fulfills his part OF a
contract he shall not be deprived OF its
benefits by any authority whatevr.
There has always been clause insert
ed IN the contracts made with Georgia
teachers limiting their pay to the amount
of money on hand. That is, the school
boards agree to pay certain salary pro
vided the funds are sufficient; otherwise
the teacher is to receive a prorata part
of the amount on hand. As far as I
know not single teacher has complain
ed of this provision. Yet no individual,
corporation, county, state or nation
would think of proposing such contract
to any class of people except school
teachers. Still this touches only the

RJTTEN DECISIONS
CONTRIBUTE TO THE MONARCHS
FIRST AND ONLY DEFEAT.
The Game With Fort Valley and the Out
side World Thursday. Good Playing
Under Disadvantages.

The Monarchs, Dawson's crack ball
team, lost their first game in. Font Valley
on Thursday. But the victors have moth
ing of which to be proud, for the Dawson
boys PLAYED under many disadvantages.
Not only were the Monarchs IN bad
shape, especially in the box, but they
had to compete, so THE News has been
informed. with some men who have made
a profession of the sport and an umpire
whose decisions were all in the interest
Of the Fort Valley team regardless OF all
rules and fairness.
The train that bore the gallant lbaIl
players from Dawson also carried
number of our most prominent citizens,
among whom were Mayor A. }. Baldwin,
Judge j. H. Guerry and Messrs. A. j.
Carver. w. F. Locke, Il. O Thornton,
W. L. Riordon, J. A. Shields and others.
When Fort Valley was reached the
Monarchs, upon invitation OF the captain
OF the local team, went to the hoteI.
They did not find a very hospltaDle WEI
come there, however. They were met
by the proprietor with the information
that he could not furnish them with &C
cOmmcdatons. The hotel keeper also

would be unable to get accommodations

was the number of northern people III

As John Seay smilingly doomed up
