I
Wanted. An Explanation.
Kdihlr Times: I would thank you
cry much l'or space in your nan r to
ucutnin a few facts concerning the
clioolfin the upper mill village.
l.?isi'September I was asked liy two
>arti(is to open a school, they promising
o mjiko it utt. I told them that I
,v??ul/,l. The parties referred to it.nl
ill /i heir children to me \\ hile 1 taught
n I jharlot te and, therefore, knew me.
rile A- made n|> t he school and I opened
11 .Teptcmbov with 2*> or '!<) ptipi Is. The
Kitfrnns weit) unable t?? pay much and
In J management of the mill allowed
h/ni a house, free of rent, and otleivd
o/pay per month to keep the school
;<iiua, but lor some reason, unknow n to
iiysclf, 1 received only per niontli
roni this source. I taught the school
intil Christmas and it then numbered
f ' 1 suspended for the holidays and
aliened attain in .lanuary. A boat this
time the management notilicd me
t hat imihini; more would he paid toward
the support of the school. Their reason
for so uoiut; I never knew, ;is the oiler
was voluntary from the start. The
pat reus wore anxious for me to eont iuue
t he school and 1 have done so oil what
t lie pat reus were aide to pay. A short
I line a Iter 1 opened hi .lanuary. sinallpox
broke out and I wasuotiiiedtoclo.se
my school and t lie house was demanded.
I didn't seethe necessity uf dustily inv
school as other schools wo re hciiit*
taught in town at t In t ime and as inv
sell and all t lie iuil'1 Is. e.veent i hree. had
bcou successfully vaccinated. 11? w\
it, i closed my school at tin* mill ami
began teaching at my home <>n t'leb
ouruc street, thinking 1 Would he al
lowed tin- house ill the village as soon
as the smallpox scare was over. Since
I lial time the niniiiiillr" of in\ school,
all mill liu'ii, have made repeated <Tl'orts
to secure a house at tin null, for
their own convenience, hut worn refused,
no reason 1> inn given. About
two weeks ago limy irmcl again for tli<house
for niy school and wore lohl thai
there would he a teacher her* in a I* w
ilays that they would he pleased with.
They were as much surprised to learn
this as I was. Know inn of "*? dissatisfaction
whatever, the commit tee, as
well as myself, didn't understand the
move. The new teach r arrived and
opened school last Monday. A house
and all the necessary hooks, I have been
informed, were furnished five of e< a.
ami most of the teacher s salary is in be
l?iid by the mill owners. I have been
told that they as a body are \? i y g?merous.aml
1 sincerely trust that if ibis
be true they will he j.isl. The sc'nooi
received no aid w hen il was ami* Tgomg
its lirst sirugirlc ami ii does seem unfair
tli.it so much should he bestowed upon
it now, aiiu'c it has lice 11 established.
In conclusion 1 wish to say that 1
have written this not from an ill feeling
toward anyone, hat in just i, ? to mv s*-ll.
1 feel that I have been deeply wronircd,
toy reputation as a teacher damaged,
ami tlutik I have a right to know why.
If I have given JhtI'.-iM s 11 Isfaet ion
without au * '.( * pt ion, will some one,
who was iusl riiiuciita 1 111 s- ruddy put
t inline aside without .1 r< -a.-' 11. uiuforward
and explain to the public whv
this eh,in.ee was made. I ??: 11 \ ask for
jus. ice, no niu j in ?re.
If lie, essary, I can furnish reference
from tlm principals of two schools 111
