That explanation was offered yester day by Mr. Herstlck who deplored the belligerent town meeting nt Berwyn Tuesday night when residents gathered te prevent interference with Mrs. Mac Donald, who has taught at Berwyn thirty-two years. Mrs. MacDonald will net resign, Mr. Herstlck said, and he would net want her te resign, "as she is a very geed teacher." He continued : "I came here two weeks age and found that in the first, second, third ami fourth grades, under Mrs. MacDon MacDen aid's charge, there were two groups or divisions in each class. In one divi sion she had the backward pupils, and they were all upstairs. Under her sys tem it became a disgrace te be sent up up Hteirs. The children themselves called the upstairs pupils 'the dummies' mid these downstairs 'the smartles.' The 'dummies' were subjected te taunts such as children only knew hew te apply In thoughtless cruelty. "It was a common occurrence for the taunted children te go home crying and embittered against school. I talked with Mr. MacDonald about it nnd she re fused te make a change, se I rear ranged the classes. "I put all the children In each grade in one clns. Mrs. MacDonald teaches the first grade as part of her work. She hud thirty-eight pupils under the new arrangement nnd protested te me she could net tpach se many. She said she would rather resign than teach te large a class. I told her it would be better that she resign if she felt that way about it. That was all that was said. "When Mrs. MacDonald returned te school .Monday morning I concluded Rhe had no Idea of resigning. The whole matter might have been adjusted within the school without having that distress ing meeting last night. I was Invited there and then was put off the plat form. Mrs. MacDonald is a geed teacher and I would regret te see her leave the school, but the Scheel Beard appointed me with power te improve the sv-tem and I propose te exercise my rights."
