Thomas then read a statement In
answer to the charges OF the board.
in which he said that his remarks
made to newspaper reporter had
been misinterpreted by the board, as
rejecting on 1t, whereas he did not
desire to convey any such idea. II
was at this point that DR.. Robins
asked him whether the statement ex-
pressed his, feeling after the publica-
ton yesterday afternoon, in which
the School Board was charged with
trickery to which Thomas replied
that his statement was supposed to
have reference to his statement pub
lished some time ago, and on which
the charges we're brought He also
declared that he had made a mistake
in regard to the doubling of classes,
and that he had to teach sewing. this
latter statement having been made be-
cause he was under the impression
that he would have the same work
done at Madison school. where he sat
during sewing class.
Miss Mamine Blackburn and Miss
Annie Burkes. of Madison School.
testified that they had relieved Mr..
Thomas of fne sewing and singing
classes at that school, after he had
conducted them for about two
months. Miss Rowe. of the Highland

In regard to what was supposed to be
taught in the school under the head

by the attorney for the defense that
this classification included sewing,
and that Thomas was supposed TO

cluded under the classification of
manual arts. IL 1t was taught in the
class. but that sewing was not part
of the program.

Mr.. Long. In an effort to get a
definite understanding of the situa-
ton. asked the attorney if Thomas
was teaching sewing. to which was
replied that he was not, but that at
the time he made the statement to
the newspaper, he supposed he would
have TO teach 1t, as sewing was in
cluded when he was instructor at an
other school. The attorney later adj
mitted that the statement had been
made through misunderstanding.
and that his client was free to say
that it was mistake.
Albert H. Hill. assistant superin
tendent of the city schools, was called
to the stand and he was asked re-

said that it was combination grade,
in that the two grades were taught
together in the same room. A iou-

After some questioning on this

stated to the board that his client
had become confused in regard to the
distinction between combination
and double grade, and that his state

added that it was one easily account
