While we 'give. place to the folaawin
production, we do not, wish to be held re
sponsible foranything contained' therein
and are of opinion that the end aimed
could have been' much. easier' :'reached.-
We are sorry' that the matter has become
so personal, and believe that the sooner it
is disposed of the better; as but little good
'will result from the, public dcussion,of
the subject.

Messss. Scribo and Drapo, bat I Can hardly
wait to say., good morning, I •am feeling
very...nervous; hav'nt slept a wink all
night,' because' of 'That communication of
" Ratepayer's," I presume" -you have both
seen it`? Luckily I have found who is the
author: (gives:. name). ' Did you 'ever hear
of anything sinfamous: and wicked?
Scaxno.=We were talking about 'it as
you entered.- -We quite agree` with •y'ouy
that it is a most shocking affair. We -are
so glad. you have come. It is our opinion
that unless we: can succeed in neutralizing
the damaging,i impressions it is making •
upon the public -mind,.` alarming- results"
will ensue. ,Our High School will be
ruined for ever, not only that; but other
calamities will follow. The sun will cease'
to shine with her usual warmth and lustre;
there will. be fio rain, the storms will bo
all hail,, accompanied by thunder of a'very`
mild type, no crops will mature, and': in
cpnsequenee, no farm products will be of-
fered for sale on .,our market. The:organ
factory,. woollen 'factory, -flouring mill an d
all other manufactories•and industries will
hear their funeral knell.',; The cows won't,
give,nilk, the hens won't lay, the, roosters
Won't' crow; the:ducks won't' quack•-, the.
birds won't sing, and our fiourisliing town
will be; ruined, utterly !` It'is.a most ca-
lamitous, unfortunate circumstance ! and
now what shall: be done ?' Bad it not gone
abroad in the newspapers we should have
less difficulty in suppressing it. The great
danger; is, that, some one else,' on seeing
the communication, will continue to agi
'tate in the papers, or' he (Ratepayer) rnay,
do so himself. I have reason.to believe,,
that a large majority inthe town approve
.of all hesaid and they feel that something
ought. to be done to raise our High School.
Many of the ratepayers have'expressed
theuiselces very strongly on this point,
not only so, but the trustees who retired
some months ago were dissatisfied with the
work. done; and, these.'circuwstancesare
going to increase cur. difficulty.
Dltai:o.=--I feel with you that it will not
be an, easy matter to de all that we wish
but we'roust ,niake an. effort,, as, it has got.
into the' papers we must follow it up with
four or five scathing articles, -attack him

adroitly, or I fear we shall fail.:' 'Yen will
recollect' how nicely We quieted' matters
about two years ago,.when the board 'were
unanimous in asking the head master to
resign, but I fear we have a more difficult.
taak, now ,that the ,dissatisfaction , isso
wide spread, and so many pupils hayeleft
and,gone to other High-Schools;=and=who'
are using their influence; against ;'< this
school. After all, 'if we can succeed in
}explainingthis away, and :convince
,the' people that they were delighted
with our High School and its entire man -
agement, it won't matter how many have.
left- Nor will it matter' a fig how many
students, 'through neglect; become dis-
couraged in trying to attain a higher edu-
cation,. and cease to make an effort in that
direction ; should it change the whole cur-
rent-of
urrentof •their lives, what is that to us, so.
long as we can succeed in 'keeping the head
master in his' present position.
You can
have no ',conception' of the strain upon his
mental - and' physical, powers during the
last six 'months,' . •The board was too
",parsimoninite", to engage a fourth teach-
er, though he often hinted to them that
they should. ' All he could get.outof them
was -a small grant of Money, to be used in
paying a; monitor. ',Rut I must ':return to
thesubject on hand. Iplike the sugges-
tion of-Drape,`.but in getting up the ar'-'
ticlea'ftir,publication we must single out
"Ratepayer," and convey the impression
that he is a most infamous and dangerous
Character. that all the other members' of.
the board, all th`e students who became
dissatisfied, and ,left the school, and the
whole communitj3 are :enamored with our
High School . under its present '';Manage-
ment, and in thisconnection call',upon•the
"citizens of this town,"; and say; to, them,
" if they wish to retain the ;High School

such disreputable men," and appoint men
who will cover up all•defects, and wink at.

a deep. interest in the• affairs of the town

that he has no other design now, than' to
