resolution passed by the Graded
School Doard, relative tolthe-.resulr
of the iavestigation of Ulrs. Cole's
professional conduct, such growing
out of charges prefererd by me. Th
resolution is so sweeping ubd accoui
pauies by no facta that strangers
are -liable to misjudge, and ejea
those tuving some knowledge of
what caused the chargei to be pre

were totally ungroun.Ied. -
in justice to myself ..v.d the many
who j i-in me openly aud otherwise ir.
thwie rb&rfies, I ask space for

"Iiesolvcu. In the lndsmcnt ot this
board the testimony given by the pupils
of thc6ili erade and the other witnesses
examined not ordy docs not sustain the
charsrtis. lint is to a larae extent comnli-
mtntr.rv to Jlrs. Cole and has tended to

child, who wa3 complained against,

the to?.n and who bears the geneial
eputation cf being very ill tempered

marks when frequently angrv,

placed it in the hands of the Graded

usefulness its a teacher of the pres?rt

That the investigation, instituted
by tbe judicial-minded chairman of
or the lioaru cr uraacci ocaco.
Trustees mid engineered by hhj Cue!
Itaiim haud brought forth a verdict.
ia keeping with the testimony pro
duced, x;i are frank 111 believing that
nut two dozen unbiased pareats it:
Concord will admit. K o amount rl
damaging iemu:o;:y could sustain a
chprge-1 cfore a body of men, who,
ia the face cf this evidence, could as
sent to isuch a broad, sweeping re
soluti m which is ssid to have pissed
unanimously.
We do not charge that the pious
and unpartisaa chairman had made
up his mind as to his own final ver.
diet before hearing .the testimony,
(hough hi3 manner cf securing
answers from wituesses-and his at
titude when the charges were first
preferred raignt indicate otherwise.
That the board has the power to
retaia a teacher, lot the'ebarges and
testimony be what they may, I do
not question. That the board (it is
supposed to b.i a body that repre
sents the people aud seeks to do jus
tice) lias the moral right to ignore
the testimony of reputable people
and taxpayers of the town antl slap
them m tbe f.tce with a resolution,
so exaggerated cud unwarranted by
the fcts before i must be denied.
The bufii'683 cf the Board is not
white-washing teachers in - high
sounding v. ords,but in see ir that the
teacher complies with whutateachfr
shou d be. If this Board honestly
believes that the tabic and attain
ment of hurling allusions to "idiots,
''parrots," "heing raised right," ai d
of a "cttcfcct family" at ihe pupils
of her grade, ''ifiids- to strengthen
She confidence of the -members of the
Board in her ability- as a teacher,"
then they have eet up a standard,
which no other teacher in the graded
school has attained. ...

Cole's reputation for ill-temyer.
Ytt he say 3 "no" vaen wait d or.
by the chairman of tha board,
Mr. A E Lcntz, says "no" to the
charge. When the matter of pre
ferring charges was mentioned to
sir. Leatz (he is a diatingui&hed
member of the Board) he said to me
in his usual animated and gpsticus
latmg style, "Co ahead, I'm with
ou; i 11 ao everything I can to get
her (Mrs. Cole) out." Ia exp'.amins
his cottonS-ring backbor.e after
wards be said he meant his "no" to
the Cbftrt-e Of "'liter.irff pramio'f ii'n- "
V.'hen the copy of oharge wa3 shown
kim, and his attention called to just
waat it is, tie said he wsuld go ri"ht
away to the chairman and change
his answer, Did he do it? Th
maises no (iiSerence. The last man
with him is tne one he jjgrees with
ne nas no mind cf hi3 oy?a and is
to be pitied rather than to be
coademaed. Yet he's one of the
board that re?olutes. We submit
that he 'is an e'egaat character
to sha-pa the affairs of a literary in-
ftituuoa. That this is Mr. Lcntz's

will not dcnyat j . j

my pres
ence.
Mr. Jas C Fiuk: '-I cannot sub
ecribe to the above charge, however
I did at one time remove my chil
dren from her private school because
cf'what I thought was too se.vc-ie
treatment." Mr. Fink doesn't state
j ust what has caused him to change
his opinion 60" suddenly- I had
talked to him a few days before Le
wrote the above.
Mrs. Jas. C Cibson says "her in
dividual experience of her as "a
b-acher is satisfactory." I really
must have gotten a very wrong im
pression from Mr, II S Puryear's
report.
Mr. W G Mans after saying some
oil er things: "my knowledge of her
temper i3 con lined to the time when
she taught a private school several
yean ago aad when she had just
commenced teaching." Mr. Means
doi-a not . eav but inti.uitea io

The chaiiman wrote thu and Mr.
J E Cook signed it: "I don't want
to say anything about a teacher that
is only hearsay. Committee can tee
my roa Arthur in the fifth grade."
Ir, Cook said afterwards that he
did not know thrt he had signed
such a statement and asking the
chairman to change it wa3 told that
"it wai too late."
Mr. V7 C Boyd: -I had rather
Mrs. Cole to bo dischargr-d as
teacher."
frincipal Shinn: After saving
icme nice things, adds "To my
knowledge she has done nothing de
serting of tvere censure emce we
have been co-laborers." lie admits
room for censure, mild not "severe."
Mrs. W A Misenheimer: She
speaks of Mrs. Cole personally and
professionally in very complimentary
terms. Eu mor was so positive about
a difficulty between these two that I
cited Mrs. Misenheimer as a witness.
Time is a great healtr of all things.
Mr. .la-. W Finn: "From all. re
ports I think Mrs. Cole should be
removed."
H Yj Cartland: "I know nothing
about it." Eeport3 have certainly
greatly misrepresented him.
Mr. Jno. K Patterson: "I don't
send to 'her, but from hearsay, at
times she displays too much temper
in the school room."
Mr, F "A Archibald: "I belL.-v
Mrs. Coles treatment of my boy, at
least, has a wrong tendency. Sue is
doing better since my second com
plaint to Mr. Shinn,"
Mrs. E A Brown: I concur with
the above mentioned charge." -Mr.
W E Odeil: "I believe Mrs.
Cole to be a fine disciplinarian and a
teacher consideiate of her duties, and
s 10 me aDove cnarge l feel com-.
pe.Mcd to answer no." "We were told
that Mr. Odell stopped his son frt-m
Mrs. Cole's room and sent bim to
Sir. Edwards rather than have him
in Mrs. Cole's room. My lolorma-
t:ou must cot be correct; however
his boy did stop and is now attend
ing Mr. Edwaids' school. -
The board ignorej several wit
nesses r.d saja the examination "is,
to a large extent, complimentary,1
and our confidence is strengthened."
There 13 uot a grown, intelligent
person in Concord, who has not

pariic-s iijtf-rviH-.ve'J, by the children

town. The board knows this ; they
see the evidence and they cannot be
so deaf as not to have heard it. 1 e
putation i3 what the general public
Bay s and nothing on this side of an
oster could fail to have heard the
frequent, complaints, and . yet all
these statements haye increased the
confidence of the board in her abil-
ity.
A committee, with the chairman's
eighteea questions, waited on the
children of Mrs. Cole's r ccm.They
cover the grouu I. The answers are J
childlike. Some the children uid
not answer in full ; some coateated
themselves with the childlike "yes"
or "no." But there were quite :
number, who were not so erabsr
rassed by the presence of strangers
ia the school room ou an ue usual
missioa as to forget to answer the
questions implicitly. These and
their characters and their "raising '
are enough to declare maliciously
false the resolution the board saw
lit to Elan in the face of those who
sought relief at their hinds. Ia
their childlike answers of "yes" or
"no," some exonerate tbe teacher
But let us quote, liere are some.
Can yen doubt them ? They cctne
frcm the best of familhs. The
board says jthey are "no testimony."
It is taken from the committee's pa
per, which went before the board :
Manly Misenheimer : "She talked
pretty rough io me sometimes." Did
Mrs. Cole ever say auything out of
tae way to you i "Aot njucu.
think she told Mary Archey one diiy
that she hadn't been raised right."
Fred McConnell : "Sha said to me
one time I acted like I didn't have
any raising." "Told Mary Archey
one day she acted like she didn't
have any manners." "Sometimes
Mrs. Cole gets very angry and calls
them just everything idiots, silly
&c."
Pink Morrison : "Said they were
uot K'iots but they acted that way
some.'-
Mary Ella Cannon : "Said some
of then acted like th?y ba.l no rais
ing." "She told Mary Archey,
Nevia Archibald aud good many
other children that they acted like
they hadn't beea rui3C-d right."
K itie Leniz : "Sa:d one day I w-is
kinder, wy.
Oliie Fisher : "Said we learned
thiugs oat of books just like parrots."
Jimmie Caanoa : When as&ed
whether he ever heard her tell Nevin
Archibald he hada't been raised
right, s:id -'ye3 sir." "Heard her
tell others they didn't act like they
have been raised right.;' "She said
they acted like idiots."
Fred Shealy : "She called Arthur
Cook aa idiot and said she didn t
thiak his parents sent him to school
for anything only to get him out of
their control."
George Montgomery ; Said he
never heard her tell Kevin Archis
bald te hadn't been raised right, but
he heard her tell Mary Archey that
the couldn't expect any better from
her, that she didu't behaye in Sun-
duv school."
Wilna Caldwell: "She told Nevin
Archibald he acted like he didn't
have any raising, and would tell
others the same thing." "I hey
acted like idiots and if they couldn't
get their lessons they could keep
quiet"
Willie Fetzar : "She tells ithem
they don't act like they are hall
raised."
JNeviu Archibald : -Shesaid she
wouldn't give bye cents for all I
could learu in a life time. Told me
I acted like I was silly. She gave
niR a frolden text to learn. I didn't
know it. oha told'me if I had been
raised iu a decent family I would
have known it. S;id if iav father
aad mother had cared anything
about my report, they would have
made me learu it."
Frank Boyd : "She told Neytn
Archibald he wasn't worth twenty-
five cents and never would be."
Here are thirteea children, com
ing from families where domestic
affairs are properly maintained and
where children are tried, at Last, to
be "raised right," who bear the evi
denca to substantiate tbe charge
There ii not another teacher, in the
grad :jhool whose pupils can or
will teotil'y that such h3rsb, unkind,
rough, unpolished ws.wda were ever
used by their teacher. Ye in all
this the board find reasons to have
their confidenco in her ability
strengthened. If thia be their hon
est belief, thyjeannot be honest with
their judgments and with the trusts
committed to thtm so long as they
rel8in as e4cbera th.0c-e who have
noVaoofliied .this xaodern. .requisite
for-.'rofiitencj tossing vhe com
parisons of idiot and other supposed
complimentary (?)tertaa about amorg
pupils. - "- -
Would tbe coairnran'8 confidence
ia her ability be strengthened if she
were to tell bis child it "ct;
an idior," "bait raised" or if it came
cat from "a decent family ?" Would
any member of the board submit to
it without a protest? It need no
answer ! Yet tbey.ask parents, whose
children have been thus ill-treated,
to submit quietly while they (the
board) resolutes a white-washing id
the face of the strongest kind of
facts facts that give theirresolation
a malicious coloring or show up the
board ia a yery stupid light.
Iu conclusion, we repeat that the
board has the power to retain any
teacher, be the facts what they mav ;
but no set of mep, representing the
masses, has the moral right to ig
nore reputable citiz.ms and thsir
well-grounded complaints and slap
them in the face with a resolution,
which cannot, from the facts ever
before it, be true or honest.

that in his opinion the preset

The reason for this is that the
