THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
The Teacher Himself Tells the Facts of
the Situation Which Caused Him to
Depart From Those Parts Cupid Gets
In His Work.
Written for The Standard,
Brief, Feb. 16. "Rule or re-
sign" is unaouDteary a gooa
motto for a teacher's guidance in
disciplinary matters. Our grape

approved the course of the
teacher, the other on being in-
terviewed did not -know what
to do about it." A member
oi
his own family was one of .the
five expelled from school. But
the teacher knew what to do
about it. He did not wish longer
to serve under a committee not
unanimously in favor of decent
order in the school room--es-pecially
in a district where fam
ily feuds, neighborhood jealous
ies and prejudices, educational
indifference, and, in short, gen
eral disorder had been the rule
for more than one previous
torjn.
Perhaps the elite expression,
"kicked the polluted dust from
off his sandals," should be cut
down a story or two, so as to
read, "scraped the sordid red
mud from the suburbs of his un
obtrusive number tens."
Cupid still manages to be a
hustler. Those desiring brides
from this section should put in
their orders early, or else have
to wait until some more are
weaned.
