intendent's Letter Of Resignation

Georgetown, KY, May las an al
termath OF the reinstatement of Wal
ter v. Jackson, principal of the Sadie
VILE High School who had been dis
missed and his certificate revoked by
Miss Mary Bradley, Scott county SUI
perintendent of Schools, Miss Bradley
and the three teachers of the Sadie
vile school-Misses Mary Tatum
Karadora Ford and Grace Lancaster
today resigned. Jackson had been
dismissed because of alleged unpa-
triotic uterances.
Miss Bradley tried Jackson on
March 80 for making the following
statements, in substance, in support
of which Miss Lancaster and two pu-
pills, the Misses Plummer, filed aft
davits.
81 am opposed to this war. If the
people who are running this Govern
ment had pust as much sense as
have, we would not be in this war.
It is Just as much harm for man on
a battlefield to shoot another man in
battle as it would be to shoot one
on the street, also II we attended our
own business and had not shipped
foodstuffs to Belgium, we would not
have been in this conflict"
Jackson is alleged to have made
this reply to Miss Lancaster in the
presence of pupils when she asked
him why he had not let the boys sign
the Boys Working Reserve cards
Jackson was tried before the Scott
county Council Of National Defense
the County Exemption Board and the
County Attorney. His certificate was
revoked by Miss Brady and the action
was approved by State Superintend-
ent v. o. Gilbert. Through his attor'
neys Jackson then asked rehearin'
on four grounds, one of which was
: that Miss Bradley had not given him
Ia fair trial. A new hearing was grant
led April IL, which resulted in the
certificate being revoked again. The
|State Superintendent again approved
the action.
Jackson appealed to the Circuit
Court, but Judge Stout held that the
court had no jurisdiction. SuDt. Gill
bert yesterday reinstated Jackson
who, he is reported to have said, wa
1discret, but not disloyal He re
ored his certificate on condition the
purchased at least one $50 Libert'
nd.
In her resignation to County judo
Robert Lancaster, Miss Rradle
said: Were conditions different
would gladly continue my work hcr7
l cannot reconcile myself to tho p"
lions of one teacher in this county n"
to that of the State Superintendent l.
unfolding him in such conduct at thi
seriouh time in our country's preson'
participation in the world war"
Miss Bradley was considered one g
the ablest superintendent this count
ever had. She had served for five
years and was a teacher for ten year
here and in London, KY, before her
election She installed the graded
school system in this county.
