The board will allow the principal to
nominate assistants, but it will reserve
to itself the right of appointing and Ak
ing the ealary. There are number of
those who disagree with this action Of
the board, and have taken steps to
sound the opinion of the leading clergy
and laity, looking toward the circula-
ton of Q petition asking the board to
reconsider the determination.
The following is the text of the petit
ton:
To the Board of Trustees of the Protest
ant Episcopal Theological Seminary
and High School in Virginia
Gentlemen Having heard that
changes are proposed in the manner OF
conducting the High School after June,
1896, which, however little the Board
may desire such to be the result, will
probably deprive the church of the COL
tinued services of the present principal,
we would respectively submit tho fol-
lowing considerations
Under Mr.. Blackford the High School
has become an established success, and
to him it owes its enviable reputation.
The school to-day Is widely and
fayorably known on account of the ad-
mirable training for boys which it pre-
yides
At the High School, as it is, every
man has the assurance that his son will
be trained in manners and morals SIS
carefully as in the school room.
In any change of administration there
is inevitably involved a risk of injury
to the schools usefulness.
We would therefore, while fully real
izing that the trustees have only a de-
sire to further the best interests of the
school, petition that the present sd-
ministration of the High School remain
undisturbed in the hands of the man
whose creation it is, and by whom it
has been developed into its present
high state Of efficiency.

as the money people who are not PEN

that, therefore, they had better be aav-

AND NOW white boy has been shot
near Baltimore for stealing fruit. AS
the owners of fruit have just as much
right to it as they have to the money in
their pockets, and as the law officers,
whose salaries they are taxed to pay,
do not protect it, they, and not unnat-
urally, take the law into their own
hands, in order to do 80. Ifparents do
not teach their children to respect
other peoples property, they need not
be surprised if they have to bear the
consequences, hard though they be.
