CITIZEN ACCUSES

Liar Openly.
INVESTIGATION HAS BEGUN
Parent of Boy Involved Declines 20 Be

S. w. Langford.
INVESTIGATION HAS BEGUN

Superintendent A T. Stuart, of the
public schools. has ordered an investi-
cation of charges against Miss f. G.
Dyer. principal of the Taylor School.
growing out of her action in publicly
reprimanding one of the pupils. Com
plant against Miss Dyer is made by 5.
W. Langford. who alleges that she de-
nouneed Louis Manning. one Of the
pupils as a liar" before a roomful Of
children.
You're a liar, a LIAR" spelling the
word. Is what Langford accuses the
principal OF having said
This Miss Dyer denies. but says she
told the boy he lied. and TO make it
more emphatic. spelled the word.
1t is intimated that the charges are
the outcome of some trouble at the
school in 1900. which resulted eventually
in the transfer of George Langford. a
son OF the complainant, 10 another
school No action in the matter has
been taken by the parents Of young
Manning. and so far the only person
who has made formal complaint of the
principals manner Of rebuking the boy
is the elder Langford.
Facts in the Case.
The perturbing incident occurred last
week. and resulted from the absence
from school Of Louis Manning's younger
brother When Miss Dyer asked Louis
where his brother was. the boy replied
that he didn't know. Later in the day
the absent youngster turned up. and
gave as an excuse for his absence the
fact that he had been down town on
business,
Some question arose as to whether
the older boy knew where his brother
mad been, and 1t was then Miss Dyer
accused him Of having lied.
Superintendent Acts.
The matter was brought TO the atten-
ton of Superintendent Stuart through
the letter from Langford, and an in
vestigation Of the circumstances was
begun by Supervising Principal w. B.
Patterson. AS soon as the investigation
Is completed. a report will be made TO
Superintendent Stuart, who will in turn
submit the affair TO the Board Of Edu-
cation
That Manning's parents have no desire
to become involved In the wrangle is
indicated by the tone OF a letter from
Mr. Manning 20 Miss Dyer. Mr.. Man
ming says he has been requested by
Langford to make complaint, but indi-
Gates IL Is not his intention to do So
in view OF the circumstances sur
rounding the case, IT is likely the Board
OF Education viii uphold Miss Dyer.
