Mr. O. a MeKahfW - , ?
Dear Bir ;w?c ; ' ?: '
In your articles In the Lighthouse
anchfnformer, we have noted
that you have continually used our
namo in connection with a atatP
ment madetnrmrtirmn educational
meeting he'd iTrColumbia during
the fall. We Jjeel that your inter**
p relation of the statement has
been misleading to- the- public jot
South Carolina. We further feel
that it IS inJUrloub'to the teachers
of our state as w$ll as to us individually.
r : . _
The statement, as made by us,
was not_ offered as a challenge to
any grown or individual, nor did it
carrv with it the .metho< of the
solution oT the teachers problems.
-We hesitate to cillicizfi^persQIis or
groups without concrete, (evidence
to support such Criticisms.
WaU pn?s? niai iry~rlitii nusfc^.

your articles.

Note: Forthright Professor Oallman
does riot deny making the
thnt a member ttT Ine palmetto
1 Teachers Executive Committee
told him: "We know what the}
teachers want us'to do but wo are >
not going ta do It." The obvious :
Inference was that this member
knew that the teachers wanted a

did not favor It,
