Editor Hawaiian Gazette:
Allow me space enough to say that
the story printed in your issue of ed

it is too prolix to reply in detail, /
The fact of teacher being away
from his duties some hours week was
drought to the notice of the depart
ment on former occasions by the In
should make up for loss of time by
putting in extra work at other Itimes;''
the quotations are from letter OF
the department, and gave me discre-
ton most certainly, to speak of and
on the subject to tn person con-
cerned; it was my duty to see that n
teacher gave the whole time, for which
he was paid, to his school duties.
The 7th and 8th paragraphs are per-
versions of fact and of truth, and seem
to have been written to discredit me.
AS for the claims of salary by three
persons" let me say that the sum OF
$3.50 was allowed a month ago. and
the payroll for them being bnrdened
with a couple of SO items, the sum OF
80 cents passes again to the treasury.
The person appointed by the depart
ment did not enter upon the work for
few days, and therefore. it was my
rightful duty to engage pro tenn. as
sistance.
These are not times to give the bal
ance of favor to those who enlist roy

has not recognized friendships or re-

and in conclusion, | may say that my
resignation, on April 10th was not in

He is a courteous gentleman and

that many young people from this vi

and we do not hesitate in saying that
we believe they could make no better
choice. The school is up to date in
every way. 1t has qualified several of
Redwood's young people who are now
holding good positions. No question
but that the Mankato Commercial
College can furnish the best stepping
stone to success in business.
