That I gave the true im , port ol that report is but confirmed by Mr. j . Slaughter's reply in which he acknowledges.' every charge I brought ugaiust him, such us T; disregarding the public interest and school facilities to properly accommodate the J patrons, leaving with Trustees to either oust J* Miss Maynard or to have her teach as assist- : ant lor less than one-half the monthly salary ; paid him, althouiih she taught more pupils tliau he did. Also the charge that the Tius- rj tees nald the school fund to C. H. McCormlck i J to llie amount ol S23.(>5, wiilcli needed ex-jJ' piatiation. r He thus Intends to Impress us with the ^ idea that everything doue bv himself and y Trustees was proper, and le?al, especially as , lie says I did not question the honesty of the ^ report. lie would parry the charges by such j indlctmeuts a*, these ug-iinst tne ; I did not ! sign my name, wrote 10 Press una Banner in- .j stead oT the home paper, that I am not a II friend to the school, Ac. The lact is, being a Iriend to MeCormiek school and all school _ I Interests, and against individual squandering ol public school Hinds, the courage ol my convictions is shown in my elforl through the ' Press und Banner to call public attention to j the real merits of tnat report, and my individual dissent to (he praise therein, as mis leading, Ac., without permitting my name ?i iujected ):ito the issue. Convinced lliatTrus- * tee J. P. Robinson Js a controlling factor la the AlcCormlck Times, ns well as among tlie ' Trustees, I could not hope to obtain space for an article criticising ins re|)ort, his teacher, ? his payment ol school funds to his father as f, agent lor C. H. jMcC'ormlck. That particular , Times coatalning report of Trustees failed to J"| reacli me as usual, imu 1 saw ine report in me Press and Banner one month after publication, heneo In writing about tlie .77 cents per 7 capita I repeated I be method used by 'frustees in ascertaining that low price, not asa ^ discovery of mine, but to show the absurdity ol tlie claim. Vet. Mr. Slaughter wabbles on to tills as reply. He boastinely admits that he was after his salary for the whole nine months say- , lug he was employed for whole time while j his assistant wus not. I saw this in tenor of fl report and charged that he disregarded the , best interest of the public in trying to save J, the pubi c funds for himself. Hear him tii reply: "The Principal was under an agree- n meal to run a nine months school. When public luntls were exhausted he was to pay e hl-i self with what tuition he could get from ,j pupils at agreed upon rates. I proposed to M Muuniiril In cimf inue lo sli:trt> LIih nubile. funds with Iter until iliey were exhausted if she would consent to take chances with me for tlie rest of the term at the ratio of our salaries. She relused to do this." See here proof of what I charged that not the public Interest by way ot school accommodations, nut Mr. Slaughter's interest, was what the Trustees allowed. Was this leagueautliorlty or Mr.siaugliter's ^ method to say to the assistant I will continue to share the public funds if you will agree to leach the rein Hinder of the nine months according to my terms? She had the right to share ttie public funds, as long as there was any, without such agreement. He says rightly that the Trustees had tlie authority to suspend assistant, and did it because funds were running low. lie does say also that measles caused a small attendance and that he could not do Justice to so mauy classes the week Miss. Maynard was suspended. He tried another at one-halt price ol the former and that this action of his cahsed dissatisfaction, itc. The fact is, all this was done to coerce Miss Maynard to teach at humiliating rates, because she has the better reputation as a successful teacher. He says above that he was to pay himself with tuition fees after public funds were exhausted. Why try to deceive the asfistant about low funds when there was then sulticieut to run the school t wo mouths, and he Hi the same time collecting more, lie makes ureal ado over my assertion that the ninth month of his school was used to prepare the pupils, and out-ulers, too, for an enlertainment. My reply to that is, 1 saw the one given last Christmas and was shocked 10 s< e a tragedy in which the prime factors of greatest moral worth were slain win i* the murderers went, tree.
