had a better man on the job, and then
ponder seriously where 1t is possible
to get his equal to Ali the place. You
must admit, even IL you do not like
him personally, that IL he is replaced
by an inferior instructor that the
schools will be made to suffer, and
your boy or girl will, as consequence,
be injured to that extent. If the Pc

off. It's easy to get people to sign a
petition, but it Is not always the case
that signers of petitions are directly
interested in the subject matter. They
simply sign because some one makes
the request. To those who might sign
under these circumstances The Ledger
would say, DO not lend your influence
to any one to vent Their spleen upon
someone they dislike" In other
words, don't be catspaw to pull the
other fellows chestnuts out of the
