To the Citizens of Wrangell:

To the Citizens of Wrangell.
 Ne want to know the reason for Superintendent Rasmussen's being dismissed We think that the con duet and atcion of the school board sets a poor example for the stu- dents.
 IL seems that the reason is not because MT Rasmussens work and way of conducting the school is un- satisfactory, but because of person al grudges that have grown stale. Let by-gones be by-gones.
 The school Board said that the majority of the taxpayers are a. gainst him but We have a petition out which most of the taxpayers have already signed, which is d. gaiust the school boards action. A petition has been sent around the school about this case and every che of the students in Junior and Senior high school have signed h against the action of the school board.
 These petitions were gotten up entirely by the Student Body.
 Some people say MT Rasmussen doesn't mix enough, but ao we want a superintendent that smokes and drinks and gambles? He is set ting d very good example for his BupIs and they are all for him loo per cent because he treats them all with the same squareness.
 If it hadn't been for MT. Ras- musseu We probably would not ey- en have a new school He worked as hard and harder than most peo- pie just so we could have one of tue best schools in Alaska. Also, he has done lot of work at nights and during the summer for the school, when the school had not money to pay any one to do
 Are the actions of the School Board fair to a man Who has given ten years of hard and honest work to our scnool and your children?
