past two years, whom he has not come
10 direct contact with In the COURSE
of his work. We have been here
nearly a year, yet he has never Deeo
In The Office and we have never spoK-
en- tn him but once during that time,
then we we're forced to ask him
question.
lie apparently has been 50 CLOSELY
wrapped up In his work that ne mas
not paid attention to those social
duties which devolves upon every |
man, and especially one who is SUD
Icet to the criticism and commenoa-
lions OF a capricious public. DIX
hours a day is the time which the
school law says that teacher snaii
give to the service. 1t is said that
Prin. Parsons gave from twelve 10
fourteen hours OF his time every Gay
and six days OF the week, and we
some times question whether DIS
mind was clear from his WORK even
on the seventh. For the reasons CIV
en- above it is possible that he has
met with some opposition, which
does not pertain to bis AFFINITY ana
Qualifications as Instructor. Inc
majority OF the school board hired
him and the rest Of the teachers Tor
another year, but when he LETT Tor
his hume there seemed to be an ele-
ment OF doubt expressed as to his re-
turning. We believe it would be a
!. calamity to the schools and to the
rising generations If he should not
return for the ensuing year. we 90
, not mean to say that there are not
J dozens OF instructor as well qualined
, to continue the work where he has
, LETT off with the end OF the school
; year as he Is, but they are hard 10
: find. Before his equal may be founo
9 again we will more than likely have
e several changes. School men OF his
ability are not burying themselves
seventy-five miles from the railroad
@ for 81 900 per year.
