Mr. Editor: I desire towiite a short liece explaining my connection with he Upper Longtown school. I taught he above mentioned school from the welfth of Septembar until Christmas Seing apprised ef opposition on the tart of some of the patrons, I went to ine of the trustees and conferred rith him; he suggested the advisability of calling a meeting of the matrons in order to ascertain their entimeots in regard to the opposition. ?he patrons met and eleven of then oted to retain me as teacher, fi?e of hem cast dissenting votes. During be Christmas holiday p, I reciived a elter from the trustees in wlich they tated that tbey had concluded to suspend my school until they could get he patrons harmonized. Thinking lerbaps my friends were not aware of he trustees decision to suspend the chool, I felt that it was my duty to ake the train, go back and confer ritb my supporters, and inform them if the action of the trustees. I talked rith my friends and told them tbp.t I vab enough Democratic in sentiment ,nd principle to believe that ibe ma)rity should rule in all question* >er?aining to the pnb)ic wc:far<\ bin ,t the same lime I was too i: d? endent to posh raysJy on an optosiug minority in fchooi mat'srs.

I fell thai 1 j hoon nninsflv criticised and tr:is- i epresented by one or two of the I atroDS. Had I continued to teack j he school I thought perhaps some of I be patrons who were opposed to me ,8 teacher would keep their children ,t home. I did not wan; my pretence n the school to be the cause ot some if the patrons keeping tbeir children t home and thereby deprive them of ,n opportunity to improve their eduatioa. Though I had beeu mistreated >y one or two of the patron*, I felt hat I could rise above the plane of elfishness and tender my resignation c order that the patrons might, if aloflt mr\mo find wVlrt Wftnld ?UC3IWiC) OIVV/W cv&wv vuv IT uw .. v? e acceptable to all who are interested q the school.
