REPORT IN DYER CASE
SUBMITTED TO STUART
Facts Show Accusation Made to School
Authorities Was Without Good
Foundation.

The report of Supervising Principal
W. 3. Patterson in connection with the
charges against Miss c. @. Dyer. of the
Taylor School, who is said 10 have de-
nounced publicly one of her pupils as
II liar. is now in the hands Of Superin-
tendent A T. Stuart. In the report is
embodied the testimony Of a number of
children and a full statement of the
circumstances Of the affair Final dis
position of the case will be made IN a
few days.
The investigation has developed the
groundlessness of the charge that Miss
Dyer called the pupil-Louis Manning
a liar" or black liar, as indicated
in the complaint of E. w. Langford. II
would seem from the testimony of all
concerned in the affair that it was the
result Of a general misunderstanding.
1t has been learned that instead Of
denouncing young Manning as a liar,
Miss Dyer, believing him 10 have told
an intentional falsehOod. asked:
Louis. do you know what you have
done? Do you know that you have told
a he?"
The boy made 70 response, and think
ms he had not heard her. Miss Dyer
then spelled out the word.
The investigation has also brou0ht
out the fact that the Manning boy is
slightly deaf and has a slight impedi-
ment in mis- speech. and it shows that he
did not make himself clear in denying
that he knew why his brother was alb
sent from school He denies having
told a willful lie.
