Superintendent stapleton Replies to an
Attack on Them.
To the Editor of the Anaconda Stand
ard.
Sir: In the Standard of Sunday, Aug.
q, "A Citizen and Taxpayer" alleged
as reason for the unfavorable vote at
the recent school election, disSat isfac-
ton with the present management of
the schools. He asserted, among other
things, that some teacher or teachars
in Anaconda have been guilty of
neglecting school work and of reading
novels in school time. l have no knowl-
edge of such conduct l never heard
the charge before, except in an anony-
nous letter, which received the atten-
ton usually given to such letters If
your unknown correspondent knew of
these things, it is a great pity that he
kept his information to himself so long
He would have performed a public SER
vice by making them known, however
unpleasant it might have seemed to
him to do So ] would have made an
investigation, and if he was not sat
isfied with my action, he could have
appealed to the school trustees. They
are always accessible and their meet
ings are always public. "A Citizen and
Taxpayer offers to substantiate his
charges; let him do so, but let him do
it in the right way, by laying his in
formation before the board of trustees,
either in person or in his own name.
If he does not get satisfaction in that
way, no doubt the columns of the
Standard will still be open to him. But
as others have always made their COM
plants through the regular channels,
it would be unfair to single out the
teacher or teachers in question, to be
the subjects of discussion in the public
press. Inquiries cannot be conducted in
that way.
Anaconda is not, l suppose, the only
town where there are some pupils
whom their parents have to compel to
go to school," but that any of our teach
ers ''loiter all day at school and hear
no classes at all' l deny. Our teachers
are hard working and conscientious.
AS for holidays, we do observe
Thanksgiving and Christmas and New
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-08-30

Years and some others. Sunday, even,
is a holiday. But aside from the fact
that these days are pretty generally OBJ
served throughout Christendom, or, at
least, throughout the United States,
they are declared holidays by the school
law of Montana, section 1s43. 1t is true
that holidays cause some distraction to
pupils, fact which all teachers recog-
nize and deplore, but do not see how to
prevent The amount of time spent in
preparing for them is left largely to
each teachers discretion, but as the
preparation involves a good deal of
wearisome work, l think the time given
up to it is not likely to be excessive.
But perhaps it is the novel reading
teacher who does all the holiday work
complained of.
If your correspondent or others We're
dissatisfied with any teacher or with
the superintendent, the time to protest
was last spring, before the annual ap-
pointment of teachers, when action
could have been taken. To let that
occasion pass, and to defeat the special
tax now, thus depriving from 1,500 to
1000 children of school for half the year.
is a childish form of protest.

grounds surrounding it, at Deer Lodge,
and running therein a summer garden,
with bar inside and seats and tables

NO sooner was this known than a
howl went up from Deer Lodge, many
citizens who lived near the grounds pro-

Attorney Duffy fired an opinion into
the commissioners, telling them they
could not lease county property and the
lease was invalid.
But energetic Mr.. Smith was at work.
Into the protesting Deer Lodgers he
pumped what is vulgarly termed the
