all the old horse traders have become dealers in live poultry. it is
ensynttor filing down horseri‘ teeth and feeding them ginger. to
change to trimming lowls‘ legsand touching up the plumage and.

To Whom it Muy Concern:

John W. S. liodgdon has been con-
cerrred in contributing at least :1 part

per; '
The insinuating article published in
the Norwnlk Hour on Thursday, .luuu~
sry 25th, headed "Who Put. the Love
Letters on the Teacher's Desk?“ is a
fair sample of the method used. The
tools of this case are as follows:
On Thursday, January 18, Supervis-
or William M. Parker wrote a note
addressed to oil the teachers in the
in Room No. 3 utter school. This note
was taken by one of the pupils from
room to room and rend by all the
teachers, and finally given to Mrs.
Brownlow. who read it and laid it on
her desk.
The note Was seen on the desk by a
boy, whose name can be furnished
when the“ proper time arrives, taken
by him and copied during the tempor-
ary’ absence of the teacher from the
room, and reported to Mr. Hodgdou
The use he is trying to make of it is
apparent.
,On January 29th I issued p. state
ment to the public setting forth. such
facts regarding the discharge of Mr.
Hodgdon not felt it prudent to divulge
at this time. Carbon copies of this
statement wore distributed to the
Sentinel and. the Norwalk Hour.
-'r11e South Norwalk Sentinel publish-
ed my statement in full over my signa-
trrre in its issue of...iuuuary30th, while
the Norwalk Hour printed only a por-
tion ofthis statement, which had pre-
viously appeared in dispatches from
the Associated Press, and which left
out several very important parts of
the statement. .
In the Norwalk Hunt of January 30th
I see what purports to be a petition
signed by parents of Mr. Hodgdon‘o
pupils. I realise that this is not to
be taken as a token of their apprecia-
improve Georgetown school. but that
