Will you kindly allow me a little of your valuable space to make an explanation? At the beginning of i the school term that has just closed j 11 offered a gold medal to the girls of j | the eighth grade, to be given to the ' one making the highest average during the entire year. Miss Jennie Lee Stackley made the highest mark i among the girls of this grade and was, therefore, entitled to receive jthe medal, but for some reason;1 which I Oppose was satisfactory to them, but which I have never been able to understand, those in authority refused to allow the medal presented at the closing exercises of the : school. I was forced, therefore, to I present it privately, and take this method of letting the public know I the facts in the case. I congratu: late Miss Jennie Lee on having won : the medal and hope she will derive | as much pleasure from wearing it 1 as it gave me to present it? B E Clarkson. i Kingstree, S C, May 24, 1910.
