Citizens Ask for His Retention 8
School PrfucfnaI

School Principal.
A petition signed by twenty-eight citizens
of Congress Heights and the adjacent sec
tion, asking for the retention of Mr.. H. F.
Lowe as principal of the Congress Heights
public school, is about to be placed before
Superintendent Powell and Mr. John T
Freeman. SUPERVISING principal of the
eighth division, in which the Congress
Heights building is included. Certain
charges in connection with Principal loves
enforcement of discipline at the school, and
a petition requesting his transfer to another
building, the latter being signed by about
the same number as the one asking that he
be retained. it is said, are also to be for
warded to the same officials within a couple
of days.
The petition circulated by friends of the
school principal states among other
things. that the signers thereof protest
against the transfer of Mr.. Lowe, as he is
an exemplary teacher, and that the opposi-
ton to him has been largely by three
persons who made house-to-house
canvass; also that some of those who
signed the paper calling for his transfer
are residents of Maryland, and it is con-
tended. these should have nothing to do
with the final decision in the case, although
whether or not they have children attend
ing the Congress Heights school is not men,
toned Recently, it is asserted, some more
signatures to the petition asking for the
school principals transfer were obtained.

We speak of the duty of making

we say, on which we do not put a
little cheer into some heart, make
the path a little smoother for some
ones tired feet, or help one falling
robin into its nest again. But we
are not SO accustomed to think of
the duty of being happy ourselves.
Yet the one duty is taught in the
Bible as clearly as the other, Jesus
said His disciples should have tribu-
lation in the world, but He gsaid in
the world, but He said in the same
sentence, BE of good cheer, -
