Willis Baynard, 6 It. in,

Ths chief strength Of the squad
lies in its depth, speed and scor-

that soma Of last years regu-

CORRESPONDENCE

January Is, 1858
Dear DR.. Sanchez:
This will advise you of my re-
signation from the Department
of Education of the Virgin Island
Extremely expensive cost OF
living, the thorough futility OF
trying to contend with an AFRO
CANT and ineffective administra-
tive department and the continual
petty annoyances such as the
lack of a Monograph machine,
the paucity of books, the doing
out of supplies by officious auth
roities have aggravated a minor
illness to an extremely important
reason for leaving your school
system.
l deplore not you and your
systems ~inefficiency but rather
the children whose education is
so sorely being denied them.
The amazingly large number of
teachers that have already re-
signed this school year should
prove that l am not alone in my
opinion.
Sincerely yours,
Miss Roma E. Hogan
