MISS BERNARD'S CASE
S. r. Hart addressed the board in
relation to the petition for Miss
Demands reinstatement as Principal
of the school at Fourth and O streets.
He said he appeared for the petition
ers, and not for Miss Bernard. He was
authorized by them to state that 80
per cent. of the citizens in that part
of the city would sign a similar petit
ton. He wished the board to eliminate
from their minds all that had been
said about Miss Bernard by the press
and other parties. and simply look at
the request of the petitioners. He re-
allied that Miss Ogden had been en-
ployed as Principal, but asked if it
was fair to set aside Miss Bernard
who had served faithfully for SO many
years
A Mr. Murphy said that the people
all favored Miss Bernard and wanted
her reinstated
He had had to remove his boy to the
Christian Brothers College, because
the Princfpal-elect could not handle
him He thought Miss Bernard should
be reinstated.
There being no motion before the
board, the order of business was taken
up.

filter had not yet been placed in the

ported that he had put in all the filters
allotted to him except two, and they
