I He Was His Own Diction¬
ary.
I A good story comes from Mee¬
ker County Minnesota, and has
■o do witli a well-known coun¬
try school district there.
■ When it came time last sum
to hire a teacher, the local
■oil'd discovered that there
Hwe two applicants, both you
Bgmen. As to the salary there
■fas no difference between their
Rids, but the second one insis¬
ted that .if he was employed,
■be Board should provide a dic
lionary for the schoolroom. The
■first one made no such demand,
■nd said that he would be well
■able to get along without a dic¬
tionary. As he expressed it, it
Iras useful only in the matter of
■defining w ords and giving their
■‘pronunciation.
I Number one got the school,
■hast the Board made its first
I’isit to the building. Every¬
thing went well for the first fif¬
teen minutes, but finally a red¬
headed, Iherearof freokled-faced youth in
the room held up his
light hand and snapped his fi
Pger in a very energetic manner.
I‘‘What is it Charlie?” askd
Pe teaoher.
I “I want to knw how to pro¬
pounce a word,” said Charlie.
■“Spell it,” replied the teacher,
I Charlie, in a loud voice, spell¬
ed out the word,“ vocabulary.”
“Vocabulary,” responded the
teacher, the placing the accent on
bull,” and lie added as to its
[meaning; “Appertaining to
harned cattle.
The Board cut short its visit
a nd is now looking for a new
teacher and getting ready to
huy an unabridged dictionary.

James Walter gmitb,
To Conyers and Commu¬
nity.
During the three years I have
been at the head of the school
hero you have given me much
lavol support and sympathy, for
which I desire to give assurance
of profound appriciation. I owe
you nothing hut to love you.
By my resignation submitted to
the board several weeks ago,
my connection with the Con¬
yers Public School was served
at the close of the term. If 1
have in any measure been com¬
manded to you favor, I trust it
has beeu by no greater magic
than conscientious attention to
the business you entrusted to
my hards. The iiruit of my
labors mnst be my witness, my
boys and girls—God bless them
every one and ma ;e them use¬
ful man and women—are my
epistles. Some of them have al¬
ready entered the best college
in the state; others will do so
this fall. They are there
brought in fair contest with the
best trained boys and girls in
the country. I trust that my
pride in their records is pardon¬
able. It rejoices me as well as
you that in several instances
they have taken honors over all
competitors.
I began teaching here three
years ago with an opening at¬
tendance of 80 pupils the fullest
opening, I was repeatedly told
in the history of the school.
The attendance increased dur
ing the year to 220. The
attendance during the second
year was 225. The attendance
during the year just closed was
175. Tho falling off in attend
ance this year was due to influ
ences over which I had no con
trol, this is known by all who
have sense enough to reason,
Another thing: At the begin¬
ning of the school year just
ended I recommended an in
crease of the teaching forces
and specially that male assist¬
ant be elected for the higher
grades, in order that I might be
relieved from continuous and
ardu r ious teaching to that ex-
tent that I might intelligently
and properly perform those du¬
ties of detail as superintendent
and principal, the performance
of which I regarded and do re
gard as a necessary condition to
the sucetss of the school over
what it had alreadj attained
The experiences of the year
only confirmed me in that
judgement. I had assurances
that the members of the board
were in sympathy with the re¬
commendation, but were ham¬
pered by financial inabilities.
I was not given any reason to
hope for a betterment of circum¬
stances but instead, was
made to witness during part of
the year a bitter fight made on
some of the best men on the
board and in the town on most
puerile grounds. In the |ab
sence of compliance with my
recommendation and of hopes
for future compliance with them
I reluctantly submitted my res¬
ignation. I trust I have at
heart the good of the school as
well as my own interest and
was threforerejoiced that in the
election of teachers Monday
night the board sanctioned the
wisdom of my recommendation
in part, at least by electing a
male assistant- It doubtless
occurs to some that it smacks
of injustice to adopt my recom
mondation after I hadj been

driven by the non-adoption of
thorn to resign. But of this
I have nothing to say, except
that I am confident the recom¬
mendation was prudent and
that the action of the board was
wise and will not be regretted.
The board felt authorized for
the first to give substantial ex¬
pression to what was, I am
sure, their will all the time. I
am not unmindful of the kind
ties shown me by the board and
I sympathize with them in their
thankless talk of trying to
please the public. This action
of the board may mean that the
Public school system has been
safely nursed through its Infan¬
cy and is casting off its swad¬
dling cloths. I hope it is so.
I am now a citizen of the town
and as such shall rejoice at any
evidence of the schools prosper¬
ity. For any rnan to oppose
tl:e school interest of a commu¬
nity is ouly to advertise his
own ignorance, conceit, selfish¬
ness and tolly.
Wishing for the school sys¬
tem continued success, and
pledging my cordial co-operation
to that end, and suggesting
that, first of all, we stand by
our new teachers and help
them succeed, 1 am
Very respectfully.
Win. P. Fleming.
