 We are sorry that the enemies of education have so influenced any of our citizens of this school district that they have so far for gotten themselves and tLeir fami- lies as to write an article for pub lication detrimental to our school. The people of the district are thankful that the rules of the press did not permit 1t to be printed and praises the tutor, Miss Sterling. At the last dis trict meeting the enemies of edu. cation boasted that there never had been a decent school in the district and never would be, so tax was beaten. Through the management and good judgment of the board of directors an eff cient lady teacher was engaged for three months term of school. Her first weeks were days of tor. ture and turmoil. Two-thirds of her pupils were between the ages of sixteen and twenty years and in many cases they had been taught at home not to allow tue teacher to boss them, but to do as they pleased. Thanks be: Circumstances have weeded out the turbulent ones, who had not learned that the teacher was there for their personal benefit, and to respect her and themselves. Today under her strict and i'm partial jurisdiction and superior tutorship, backed by just board of directors, the scholars are we'll pleased and say they are learning more and faster than ever before. Could the writer of that un- printed article have spared an hour or two Friday afternoon, August g, at tue school house he would have seen a room nicely decorated, a happy lot of chil- dren and exercises, such as were never seen or heard in the district before; perhaps they would have regretted the writing. We have occasion to believe they are pleased 10 know it was not printed.
