Little Courtesies.

William Wirt's letter to his daughter
on the small, sweet courtesies of
life contains passage from which
a deal of happiness might be learned:
81 want to tell you secret The way
to make yourself pleasing to others is
to show them attention. The whole
world Is like the miller at Mansfield,
who cared for nobody-no, not he-lv,.
cause nobody cared for him. And the
whole world would serve you so If
you gave them the same cause. Let
every one, therefore. see that you do
care for them by showing them whit
Sterne so happily calls the small cour-
tesies, in which there is no parade,
whose voice is too still to tease and
which manifest themselves by tender
and affectionate looks and little acts
of attention. giving others the prefer.
ence in every little enjoyment at the
table, in the field, walking, sitting or
standing"

B|SSELL Tells
PUBLIC HIS SIDE
OF DISMISSAL
Former Head of Charlton Street
School Says Discharge Was
on False Testimony.

Thomas J. Bissell, former principal of
the Charlton Street School. whose State
certificate was revoked by the State
Board of Examiners on charges brought
by the State Board of Education, from
which action he has appealed, says tina
his side of the case has not been made
known to the public.
Mr.. Bissell declares that the finding of
the State Board of Examiners, which
was upheld by the State Board of Edu-
cation, was founded on The testimony
of a man who admitted before the State
Board of Examiners that he had testi-
fed falsely.
The charges were, first, that Mr.. Bis
sell issued a false certificate of gradu-
alton, and, second, that this certificate
was granted falsely by Bissell in con-
s~ideration of a bribe of 5000.
Mr.. BisselPs statement is as follows:
1.-THE examining board of three MEM
bers notified me of charges, and re-
quested me to deny them or forfeit my
certificate. l denied both charges. The
State examining board then notified me
that my certificate would be revoked
If 1 did not ask for. a hearing.
II asked for a hearing, which was
granted February II, 1908.
The evidence submitted was not
taken under oath. Anything said at
the hearing was put down as evidence.
No cross-examining was permitted.
"The State Board of Examiners de-
cided that l raj guilty on the first
charge and threw out the second
charge Upon. the evidence submitted by
Principal Shepard that Reiger had con-
fessed to him that the 5000 was loaned.
IL appealed to the State Board of
Education and the law committee of
the board ordered the evidence sent
back to the examining committee for a
new hearing to perfect the evidence.
This was confirmed by the State board.
The new hearing was set for Nav is.
1 presented eight witnesses, who were
ready to 20 under oath. The State
Board Of Examiners decided thai thew
did not have power to swear witnesses,
being SO advised by Mr.. Backes, of the
attorney-generaI's Office. Mr.. Congle-
ton, my lawyer, took the ground that
as there had been no sworn evidence,
there was no legal evidence, and, there.
fore, there was nothing to disprove
and refused to have the witnesses
testify. The case now goes back to the
original appeal to the State Board OF
| Education"
