' Again the Cause of Sonic
Livelyroomm'lInlcstlons—Mr.‘
Light Explains ills Position
To the Editor of Evening Sentinel:
The letter of thy colleague, Mr.
Richard II. Golden, in yestcrdny’s ls-
“ ‘lfl‘i'deyour’papcr, is a great surprise
to me as a revelation of his character.
I had supposed until now that he was
acting according to his best judgment:
for the public good and 1 treated him
accordingly, but It clout appears that
his action has been "111)in by
pique. Well, it is good to now where
people stand, in an issue like the one
now before this district 1 should not
complain very much if he is against
me. In a way it Is a. source of
strength. It seems to mc that my ac-
tion as a member of the committee
speaks for itself. but. Mr. lloldcu-cvb
dently thinks that his action needs
. some explanation. Why does benot
let me alone, and discuss the condi-
tions I am trying to root out of our
district? He should know" that the
present outbreak is a mere symptom
of a disease that has bccll growing for
several years In the management of
our/schools, and that nothing short
of an operation could possibly work
a cure. My action forced certain rel-i-~
inflation and mortally offended Mr.
Golden. Take, If you please, all of
the fact and fiction ill his letter, and
. what is tllc sum of llty offending that
he dcsircs to place befolc the public?
Forsooth l “have i-mouragcd' and
counselled the teachers who have. to
fused to carry otit tho tumultuous (ll
reetlon of the committee." it is quite
true that i gave the teachers. an au-
dience, and “encouraged and counsell.
ed them" to so back to their work and
submit to the action of tho committee
and they promised to do so if they
were physically fll)l9.~ l we obi land to

the present conditions are dll- o a

progrcsslm failure on the part of the
superintendent In the mullet of lullu

If the only question to be considered
, in this situation was that of consoli-
dating the three rooms, there would
be very little difficulty in the way of
the committee bllt in my opilrbou
there Is a much more vital question
involving both character and justice;

columlttee to restore them to their po“
sitions. ”
It must be evident that Mr. Golden' s
ncrvcs are in a disordereu'condltion.
He never showed any interest In the
work of the committee till the present
controversy, and never mentioned the
Hilhlett of reorganisation before But-
urdav' 5 meeting. It has been the prac-
line to call the committee together
whenever any question or business re
qulrcd action, and no member of the
hoard ever felt the necessity for a re

for it,notwlthstandlng there was much
of untruth in it. it will be remember
ed that among other thlngs the resolu-
tion stated that these teachers had
made no explanation to“ the‘commlttee
why they had not remained with their
classes ill the face of the fact that at
that very meeting. and lust p few
minutes before. these teachers had
said to the committee. that they had
not remained with their classes be-

simply executed the directions of Mr.

Mr. Golden docs gr rent violence to
the facts in his rct'crcnco in Monday‘s

"me to his ofiico Sunday morning. and
said that he wanted a meeting of the
committee next morning? at 9 o‘clock.
to accept Mr. lI‘ootc's resignation. i
sald;to him that i could not meet. ‘at
9 o‘clock. as I had to attend a meeting
new directors of the. City National
Bank atsthnt hour, but I would meet
wllhthe committee at 8:30 o'clock.
and the committee met accordingly.
I remained in the meeting until about
‘9:15.o’clack.- when l: insisted that 1
must leave‘to attend the directors'
meeting at the bank. —No objection
was made to this and the meeting was
held over. I. was absolutely engrossed
in exigent matters durln the root of

obliged to go to Bridgeport to ‘try a

I had our se rotary call Mr. Golden on
