teacher was highly recommended when
he was first engaged and that at the
end of his first year there was a public
examination Which revealed to the
ratepayers 11112 splendid work done by
the teacher. Immediately followed the
sehoui toecap.' day, when a trustee,
who had serve.d. the section lohg, and
faithfully, retired and a uew one elect-
ed his stead. Six months elapsed
and no complaints were: heard except
about the teacher's salary, which some
thought was excessive. The inspeetor
made his last call for the present year,
and I believe reported that the pro-
gress made by the children was excel-.
lone Shortly after a trirstee meeting
was held to consider abcint :engaging a
teacher for the ensuing year. They
were unanitnous in their opinion not to
engacse the present teacher but they.
eoulenot advance a single reaeon for
not doing. So. Did thy then advertise
for a teacher? Instead thee• held their
peace and when a few called upon
them from the surrothiding vicinity
they simply turned a deaf ear to them.
Shortly after it. was learned that -they
had engaged a teacher at the molest
salary of 8'460 a year and he Was not
to light the fire as all teachers hereto
fore were required to do. It was then
rumored that the fire lighting had
been omitted so that a neighbor's boy
might reap the bene,fits therefrom or
better still a trustee's son. A few rate
payers hearing of the supposed actions
of thee trustees began to give voice to
their opinions, and one of the noble
three, to throw the responsibility off his
shoulders, admitted that the teacher
had been engaged by an outside indiv-
idual. The question now arises, are
they capable of engaging a teacher? if
they are, why this method. Let eyery
ratepayer of the section attend the
meettng to be held next Wednesday
and put Men in office who will regain
for the section the reputation it pTevi-
