Well, we'll, there is one thing that
stumps me and that is the New Hope |

says that we seem to be laboring under
a mistake, but we cannot see what it is

Now he wants to get out Of the whole
thing by saying that he only wanted to
make it known that his teacher had not
struck for higher wages. No one has
ever said that the New Hope teacher
has struck for higher wages unless it
was that New Hope CORE spondent. You
seem to think the readers of the News
are greenhorns, but we think to the
contrary You have repeatedly said
that your school was progressing nice
ly. Is that anything more than what /
ment when l said that you had a good
school? You also say that three
months Of your school is gone and Of
the 100 enrolled not one has received
corporal punishment. 1t is not be-
cause they do not need it, so l have
been informed by a patron of your
school. If it was not for me you would
have the readers of the Old Reliable to
believe that you had reached sinless
perfection, but we don't believe one
word OF it. Nor do we believe that the
county superintendent said that the or
der was the best he had ever seen in a
schoolroom. If you will furnish me his
certificate on shat | will believe that
you are not exaggerating. The Super
intendent may have said that the order
in your school was as good as he ever
saw, but did you know that the word
best is the superlatiVe degree of good
and means most good. The superin-
tendent visits many schools that are
under as good discipline as yours and

to own it. What student was that up

it for that truth and If you people uL
there will listen closely to their in
structions | believe that they will edu-
cate some of that Internal wildcat whis-
key out of some of you. All schools
have some pupils in them that don't toe
the mark and teachers are not to blame
: for every thing that happens.
1t is impossible to get all students tC
obey the rules of school. You have
some good teachers that are laboring
/ very hard for the interest and upbuild
ing of your vicinity, yet they canno
prevent students from breaking the
rules of school They can only give
rules and punish those who violate
them.
