Editor Virginia Pilot:
I should like to protest against the
action of the School Board of Wash
ington District on June 21st. The cleo
ton of teachers. for another year. be-
fore the expiration OF the present term,
and without allowing the patrons an
opportunity TO saction or object to
said election. seems to me, a monopoly
of the rights supposed to be accorded
to American citizens. Are the people
comprising this Board to be considered
the custodfans of our children, to the
extent OF monopolizing our rights as
parents, and patrons of the school?
Should we not be allowed voice as
to who we should have. for such Il large
PORTION of their time, the training OF
the minds and hearts of our little
ones? Who furnishes a. large proper
ton of the capital to defray the eX-
perse of teaching? Is it not these
same parents. patrons and people ?
Then surely they should he allowed
a voice in the choice of teachers. And
as a patron of the public schools and
citizen of South Norfolk I earnestly
protest against such a monopoly OF
the rights of American citizenship
