remove himself from an investigation
by resigning. The speaker regretted
that it had gone broadcast through
New England by the Associated Press
that the teachers were guilty of lush
ordination and he asked that the meet—
1 deviant it could to remedy the
in notice by reinstating the teachers.
When Mr. McMahon had concluded
Richard H.‘ Golden secured the floor.
In introduction, Mr. Golden said his
friend McMahon reminded him of Mar-
cus Aurelius, who said:
“Never give curly uncut to those
who talk ovarmuch."
Mr. Golden, than directly to the
business at hand, said that Mr. Mo.
Mahon had made several misstate-
ments. lie repudiated Mr. McMahon’s
declaration that he would not give the
ladies a. hearing. Mr. McMahon knew.
he said. thatthls was not so. Mr.
Golden also explained how the first
hearing had come about. how just a
few minutes before he was to catch
at car for llelio Island. Mr. McMahon
had requested him to go to Judge
Light's office ionttcnd a brief confer-
ence. He had been told by Mr. Mc-
Mahon that It would take about five
minutes. Mr. Golden had said at this
meeting that “we believe in our sup»
orintendeut.". Propositions were also
discussed for the changing about of
the teachers, one being to make Miss
Toiies principal of the Lincoln school.
Tile object of the consolidation of the
rooms was to secure room for the in.
flux of new children. As to the wis-
dom of this, Mr. Golden quoted t-x-
Mayor Low. of New York, who had
openly declared that l r was In favor
of curtailing upper, rat of than low”-
grades. if any curtailing be necessary.
Mr. Fuoic. Mr. Golden suid further. hnd
Qtlkt’d very fairly at the referred-to
conference at Judge Light's oflice. Mr.
Golden pointed to other declarations
by Mr. McMahon, labelling them no (le-
Iiberute falsehoods. and declared fur-
ther that Mr: McMahon liked to hear
the sound of his own voice. 'l‘o illus-
truie. he recalled that Mr. McMahon,
two years age. had talked: for lmif an
hour against the filtration piuut.
At this point in Mr. Golden’s ro-
xnurks, objection was made. Judge
Light was satisfied. he said. to have
Mr. Golden to continue and said hi' de-
sired to apply for his liberty to con-
tinue on.
Chairman Frost ruled out personal
remarks, ‘
Judge Light. secured the floor and
prefaced his point that Mr. Holden
was not. impartial enough to Judge his
remarks by telling a story of n Stiltlit-l‘
in a regiment, who was drunk had
thought the whole regiment was in
this condition. He followed this up
with the claim that. hlr. Footo wrote
the letter published in lust‘uight's 8en~
tinei. signed by Mr. Golden.
As to the ihroubio about the touch-
crs, he said Mr. liltxlte had suggested a
consolidation of some of the rooms
two or three months ago and he haul
told Mr. Foote that such would be un-
fair—«that in his opinion it would be
better to refuse mimission to the
school of some three or four your old
children to the kindergarten. llo hnd
also told Mr, Poole that he ought not
do anything to augment the friction.
The committee. however. had passed a
vote to consolidate the rooms and 0f-
i'ered the principalship to Miss Toiles
on condition that she go to the Con-
cord school forrthe finish of the term.
She would be glad to make the change,
she hnd said, Mr. Light stated. another
year. but thought the change at pres-
ent would be detrimental to her pupils
and. declined.
Mr, Light said on this point still
further. the teachers told him that
they had received their information
concerning the proposed consolidation
from Miss Keith and not directly from
Mr. Footc.
As to the letter in Saturday's Senti-
nel. signed by three men of the dis-
trict. which Mr. Golden accused him of
writing. Judge Light said any one. of
the three gentlemen would intro hold
him who wrote the letter.
Mr. Light interspersed a remark
that he would take care of Messrs.
Foote and Golden outside of the meet-
ing.
Judge Light then made reference to
the petition and said the teachers were
in the library when Mr. Golden arrived
at his office. lie told Mr. Golden, be
said. that the petition was sinned by
the permits of the pupils and that he
replied that he did not give it damn,
and also ridiculed the names on it.
Further. he said, Mr. Golden declared:
“We hztvc decided and that's theend
of it." All of this. Judge Light said
Mr. Golden had said In his presence
alone, and that Mr. Footo and Mr. Cor-
bett were not there to buck him up.
Mr. Golden‘s reply to Mr_ Light’s
charge: "1 say emphatically that is
not true.”
Judge Light continued: “The com-
mittee hnd not had an organization.
but Mr. Golden suggested one. As soon
as the tenchers retired Mr. Golden
whipped out a set of resolutions call-
ing for the resignations of the touch
era—his Judgment made up in advance.
Mr. Corbett voted for the resolutions.
too, and he never opened his face.
“The next day Mr. Golden claimed
in a. letter that one of the teachers
had slandcred Mr. Fonts. She denied
this and I backed. her up. ‘This was
really what she said. She was asked
how often Mr, Foote visited her room
and she said. ‘Not very often.’ I don't
care how many assaults he makes on
me, but i do care about the teachers.
Until recently discipline held supremo
reign in Russia and Cuba, but it is now
tempered with justice. love and mar.
or and I lay the treatment these teach-
ers mocivad from the superintendent
justified their conduct.”
Mr. Light admitted having counsel-
ed with the teachers and stated that he
had advised them to “hear
those ills rather than to fly
to others that they knew not
of.” During his entire membership
on the committee. Mr..l.ighi. said he
had not heard a whisper that the touch-
ers were not efficient. His son had
been taught by these teachers and
taught well. he said. He declared his
belief that a statement on the touch-
ers’ gnod qualities. such as appeared
in The Sentinel. last night, concerning
Mr. Foote would make good reading.
Mr. Light denied that he had incit-
ed the teachers to resign their pool-
Htions. He made this charge: "1 un-
derstood thataxprnminent than of, the
affairs of fuel district cht to
1,-.-
the teachers and told
them If they whuid humble thuiuscIVcs
.m
‘ by saying they had been iliy counseled
by Mr. Light, they would be given back
their positions." ‘
To the claim that. the teachers had
deserted. he replied: “Why did the
superinbendent. desert in the midst of
battle?. Did the attitude of the touch-
crs cause the superintendent's resiguaw
, the article in Saturday's Evening Ben-
tlotl 7"
To Mr, Golden's declaration concern-h
ing Mr. Light's rule or ruin policy in
the conduct of the affairs of the dis-
trict. Mr. Light said he believed Mr.
Golden could divide the cake with
him. Ctmtinued Mr. Light:
"You know and i know what is at
the bottom of this matter. but I am not
going to mention it. i am not going
deeper than i have to. I say do what
you will to the district committee, but
do justice to these teachers.
"There is another motive back of it
all. lt'rom symptoms, I um disposed to
btlievu that the action of tho superin-
tcudem was primarily to discredit and
get rid of the teachers."
lit: said he had been given to under-
stand that If the rooms had been con-
solitiutod according to Mr. it‘oole's sua-
gestion, the teachers would have been
unable to than their pupils into high
school, and thus they would be dis-
credited.
When Mr. Light, had concluded,
Charles Ii}. Jennings naked if the (‘tllll-
mitten hnd any right to decline to give
the teachers a hearing. lie, wanted a
precedent established for all time that.
it should be incumbent on district coni-
mittens in the future to give the ttmclr
t-rs it fair hearing on their grievances.
lie expressed sorrow flint fin- electors
had indulged In iwrsouulliivs and did
not think this was lhl‘ piopl-r spirit.
Mr. Golden replied to Mr. Jennings
iiiui it was not a fact, as cbut‘m‘d. that
be had not given the teachers a proper
hearing.
Edward llurroit desired to be heard
on the issue. He said:

The present. trouble in this school
is but. the culmination of many trou-
bles which these teachers have had
with Superintendent i‘mic. i am aware
of their having had serious trouble
because of this loan us far back as
two years ago. in some of those in»
stances he has put upon them injus-
tices so fingrunt that they refused to
obey~«nuti upon the advice of the dis-
trict committee. This than in his on-
just bursh treatment fully intended
to drive these teachers from the
school as he has driven oihurs in his
time. The. pmgress of his efforts‘tnny
be seen from the fact that. these tench.
crs have. attempted to resign on prov-
iuus occasions. and would gladly have
done so but for the advice of the dis-
trict committee to the contrary. Wt-
naturally ask. why slumid he have
been so unfair to his lending teachers:
to the teachers who brought his cluss~
es to such proficiency; to those tench-
crs who by their nrduous labors made
such a degree of excellence in their
scholars that their work now stands
as his chief claim for credit? 1 will
tell you why in my belief this is so.
These teachers have bad a deep-sealed
heifer—as was expressed in Saturday's
Sentinel~and he knew that they had
this belief, and that. the reputation
given him in that. article was founded
on fact. in the rectitude of their char-
acters. their disgust of the man shown

him. In his anger toward them he
retaliated by perpetrating a succes-
sion of inius‘lces upon them. so gnliiug

tuted authority should he exacted.
it was his belief that the teachers
deserve. instead of condemnation. the
everlasting praise of the district. and
said that they are. perhaps. the most
lit-role citizens of the community.
During the course of his remarks.
Mr. iiulrcit had made reformist: to Mr.
qun'a‘ assistant and Mr. Golden
took issue with hint and road the sc-
tunl contract that had been entered
into with the committee by the are

(‘onccrniug tile bearing the teachers
were given, Mr. Golden explained that
the man Milly to blame for the delay
was Mr. Light1 who went out of town
for two days. As to Mr. Light's asser-
tion that the teachers were in the. back
room in the office when the petition
was presented, he did not see any
teachers there. Nor did Mr. Corbett
know they Were there. When the
hearing did finally materialize, he
heard complaints at the schools that
previously he had had absolutely no
knowledge of. At the hearing. too. he
told the ladies to say just what they
wanted and made no effort whatever
to curtail any statement.
Mr. flight had finally said: “You go
ahead and run the school." and Mr.
Golden added. he had done so to the
very best of his ability. -
As to the reflection on Mr. Footc's
character. Mr. Golden only desired to
refer the voters to the passage in the
Scripture. which says: “Let him that
Is without sin cast the first stone."
"Mr. Footc has been terribly ma-
lignet ." said Mr. Golden. He had been
a member of the committee which
hired Mr. Fools and he was not
ashamed of it. The schools here stand
A No_ 1. and Mr. Golden considered
Mr. Facts a marvel tflOl‘ management.
He asked to have Mr. Footo gIVen per.

Mr. Light charged that Mr. Footo
had come to him add argued against
giving Miss Keith an increase in sni-

him in a bad light. as he had told her
she could not have one. Mr. Light.

A day or two ago our corset buyer met in NewaYork City
at a conference eight of the representative corset buyers of
the country. The dean of buyers, who represents one of the
largest western department stores, was asked his opinion re-
garding the merits of the many corsets now on the market.
and this was his response: “If I could have my way about
it. I should keep in my stock only one make of corset, and
that is the one made up in the little town of Non-walk, which.
you know, is the R 8: G."
That is our sentiment exactly. and while We believe there
are other good corsets. still We hold to the opinion that we've
always held. that the “R & G"—OUR OWN Corset, is by
far the most popular. the best fitting and the best adapted for
all figures.
