| George Funk. the other trustee seemed ia
be my friend before aud after. took the
case before the Board OF Education and
they reinstatcd me in the school l. \.
DanScr said that the Board OF Education
re'nStaied me in the school through a
Misunderstanding Of the evidence.
This is not true Tor the evidence was
clear and strong against the Danscrs Il
was proven that | had good school
generally, except the Dansers and one or
two ot their relatives children made some
disturbance at the first OF the school
Does IL look reasonable that the Board Of
Education would misunderstood the evi.
dencc Many of the people at the suit
seemed to have much fun about how A.
Danser and some of his relations showed
their intelligence.
After | was back in the school a few
days heard that the Danscrs had been
talking OF throwing me out again. A few
days after had heard that the Dansers
were talking OF throwing me out again. |
received the note that |. \. Danser said
he sent me stating ior me To change his
boy on a higher seat There were some
seats little higher than others. but their
was no special high seat Tor big legs and
had To do the best | could. II 4.
Danser wanted an extra high seat Tor his
boy he should have notified the Board OF
Education. as IL was not my place to fur.
nish seats. But II would have bought a
| high seat like the throne OF king and
placed 1t right no in front and placed the
boy upon II, aud Il would have introduced
him to visitors as tho son OF the chief
trustee and gave him great honor. |
suppose they would have continued to
find fault Ii seems to me when stubborn
people want to find fault they can manage
to hnd IT, II is like the saying "A fool
can hnd fault that great many wise men
can not remedy"
Now will tell YOU how It was about the
boy. When the boy first came to school
he sat In the back seat. He disturbed the
| school and had to bring him toward the
front, so that could watch him. In few
days he wanted to go back on the scat
where he had been. and e promised to
behave well and let him 20 back I'm a
short time lie began to disturb the school
again, so brought him toward the front
| again. After time received the note
J. ~
the Argus that he notified me twice md
then sent me a note Tor me to change the
boy on an other seat. lie also states that
| lac gave his reasons fer wanting the boy
changed. This note as near as can
recoect was the first and only notice |
received from ]. A. Danser about chang.
| ing the boy and do not think that IL gave
any reason in particular. As near as /
can recolect the boz claimed that il hurt
| his knees to sit OF that seat but he did
/ not say anything about having hip disease.
| As soon as received the notice | told the
| boy that he c uld sit on the scat behind
the one ! was on. but the boy wanted TO
sit in the back OF the house and because
| did not let him go lac would not sit on
! the one the ! offered him He said he
would rather sit where he was. / asked
! him II II hurt his knees very much and he
! claimed it did not. So let him sit there.
In a very few days after that Charley
/ Danscr and two others came in the school
! suppose for to spy. Then Danscr's
! children began to disturb the school
| again After recess ! had q spelling and
/ some OF the scholars put their knees or
! feet upon the desk or seats and I told
| them 10 take them down and to stand up
/ straight. Then Charley Danser put his
Knee on the desk. ] suppose 20 set bad
/ exampl before the scholars. A.
| Danscr had said that hc would not send
any Of bis chidfeu but his boy for he
was compelled bat one Of his big girls
come back one day before Charley Danser
came In he school to justify her To come
on that day also; at least it looked that
| way to me. heard that she said that
! Charley intended TO co 10 tie school
! house and she intended TO 90 ihcir and
show her authority. IL looked TO me like
the Danscrs were working up plot 10 yet
some thing against me to throw me out OF
the school again. And IL looked To- me
| like that note received from l. A.
| Danscr to change the hoy was part OF
the plot. IL looked 90 me as IL 90 was a
| plot TO get the boy in tho back part OF the
/ house where be could disturb the school
| behind my back and might not see him.
and Charley Danser might prove Jy the
/ two people with him that some Of the
| scholars disturbed the hool and that
! ] did not not correct them and that !
might get provoked a. the ones that + did
/ see and punish them so severely that they
could bring up a charge Of cruelty against
me or that punished some and did not
| punish others.
J. A. Danser states in the Argus that his
boy had hip disease and that his disease
got so much worse by sitting on a low
seat that he had 20 get the aid Of a phys.
sian. Last spring J. a. Danscr said some
al fc D.. f..
did not hear him ssy anything about get.
! ing the aid Of a phJ sician. J believe that
is new story hatchcd up ancrward. I
never noticed that the boy was lame and
he always seemed TO run and jump as much
as the other boys Aud if it ,sas tho case
that the boy disease got so much worse
by sitting on low seat tbat Doe had to get
the aid OF physician and when A.
Danscr was so hard up for evidence To-
condemn me that bc had to bring up every
| little thing and things that were not true.
does any sane person be .icyc that ne
would have forgotten to BRING u, hIs.
Abont two or three days after Charley
Dauscr was in tho school ! notified the
trustees 90 meet at the school house TO
consider tho conduct of a. B Danscrs
/ son. had given him three or Tor whip.
/ pings and be- was dressed so thick that be-
did not seem Co mind &c. SO ] thought Z
would call the trustees boz and see what
was 10 be done with the hos and to see
whether the Danscr trustees was willing to
/ do their duty. All thc trustees met no the
I school house. but DC was as might have
I been expected. AS there were two Dluscr
trustees and ono of thcm brother to thc
| boy. ia Dans,r said thatthcy decided to
/ lct thc boy come CO. school 10 ibcir was
/ any school
