I want to protest to the summary

Miss Morgan has been too long in
the service OF our educational system
to be treated in this manner. She
has gained the love and esteemN of
thousands Of our best citizens and
their children. she has gained an al
most national reputation for brill
liancy and efficiency as an instructor.
Many of our young men and
women. who stand high in theNsocial
and mercantile world. owe their sue
cess to the able instruction of Miss
Morgan
Furthermore Miss Morgan is a
Paducah girl and we all know her
character is unapproachable, she is
beloved by old and young.
Judging by the number of adyo.
Gates for her cause, she is one of the
most popular teachers In the city and
indicates the sentiment Of the people.
which we dare not ignore.
hereby respectfully recommend
Miss Emma Morgan to your honor
able board and ask that her petition
for reelection TO her old place be
favorab,y considered by you.
The other teachers named in the

specially ask to be considered by the
