teachers to set him back one class in

lived in Mankato more than forty
years, had been contributor to the

for nearly twenty years. This was the
first time he had come before the board

favors and not ing but what was right.

that the main reason, for the dismissal
was disobedience The young mar
had been placed in a lower class in
English after due consultation of the
teachers because it was thought that
the work of the lower class was better
suited to his capacity. His continued
refusal to go down led to his dismissal
the principal and superintendent agree
ing that this was the only course tc
follow, as the rules require physi
clans certificate where less than three
subjects are permitted to be taken,
whereas Charles Barney was taking
but two studies aside from the English.
The transfer to the lower class in
English was decided upon because the
young man was so far below grade in
that subject for the preceding half
year. AS he had no physicians certii-
cate of physical disability, he was not
permitted to continue his work in
German and algebra. Prof. Leyen-
berger closed his letter by saying that
he would only be too willing to receive
the young man back as soon as he
would agree to follow the rules.
Mr.. Barney took up the points of the
letter. He said that he had advised his
son not to go down into the lower class,
and it could be recorded that the boy
was dismissed for his fathers dis
obedience. The boy was quiet. sensi.
tive, never had scratch or discredit
mark since entering school, and had
always stood among the highest. He
had worked his way up to the high
school by faithful, honest work.
Chas. Barney's grade markings were
produced, showing that he stood II in
English, while IS is required.
Mr.. Barney said that if anything was
lacking in the boy to make him success
full in life it is brass. He has too much
conscientiousness There is not more
industrious scholar
You can't send my boy out of this
high school to the kindergarten to play
with mud balls" declared Mr.. Barney
with much emphasis HE is too proud,
and SO am 1. You are not going to blot
out his future in this way. He is not
going back to the teacher who sent him
up as fully qualified for the next higher
class A tailor or shoemaker does not
like to have garment or shoe come
back with request to do better job,
nor does teacher like to have pupil
sent back with similar request.
would discourage my boy and destroy
his spirit if sent him back, and will
not let any one else do it."
Mr.. Barney asked whether any had
been retained in the English class whose
marking was as low as II. Supt. Var
ney replied that he did not know.
Mr.. Barney said that he had been
told that there are pupils who are tax
ing special studies, and if so he wanted
his son included He referred to an old
er son WHO had stood low at one time,
but who was allowed to keep on and
graduated from the high school and
from Cornell university in the four
years course.

the water and from what we can learn,
he concluded he had good grounds for
action and will commence suit against
those who have filled in the outlet, or in
other words, kept the water in the lake

terested in this matter ought to have
made some amicable settlement, both
sides making some concessions, and
thereby averted what will prove very ex-
pensive to them ere the matter is finally
adjusted.
