Stamford, Conn.,. Dec. 5-Driven to DO
spair by the scandalous talk Of the Turn
of River School District. Miss Bertha Ly-
on rendered her resignation as teacher
of the school. Miss Lyon is a daughter Of
the late Reverend d. d. Lyon of Mont
vile, once pastor Of the Montville Baptist
Church.
Before coming to this city Miss Lyon
taught the North Mianus School. For
three years she has been teacher in the
Turn of River District School here. A
year ago an antagonism developed It was
not suniclent to prevent her reappointment
last fall, but recently matters came 10 4
head. Miss Lyon sent to the Superintend-
ent of Schools, Everett c. Wizard the
following i.trer:
Dear Sir: have taught the Turn of River
School since 1901. l have enjoyed some of the

This letter was read at the monthly
meeting of the School Committee. A

are opposed to Miss Lyon were present to

let her do it out of school. She has two

she ought to-"

Similar expressions of disapproval We're
voiced by Fred Burr. Mr.. shockley and
Fred Weed.
This IS a very cruel act on the part
of these people," said Miss Mary Buxton,
with whom Miss Lyon lives.
Those people have got angry and are
venting their spite. Miss Lyon is very
sweet young woman. These people mustn't
go too far"
The Superintendent of Schools, Mr..
Willard, said he considered Miss Lyon a
very good teacher. He declined to 70 into
the details of the case. but his attitude
left the impression that the teacher was
more sinned against than shining.
