some of our school rooms have been used
as prisons nnd lockups for the punishment
of pupils. It will bo only fnlr on your
part to glvo mo space In your paper to set
our teachers and myself right before the
public. I will give a plain statement of
facts from which any Intelligent person
1 1 1 1 1 v iudue of the merits and faults of
those concerned In the ntfalr.
A few weeks ago Dr. tetzer found his
bor with two othcrB locked in one of the
sciiool buildings during the dinner Inter
mission, and growing very angry nuout it
lie went to the teacher and demanded that
the boy should be let out. The teacher
attempted to explain the case but he re
fused to listen, remnrxing unit ne did not
want au explanation but wanted his boy.
He went away angry. The teacher re
ported the case to mo next day. In a day
or two after this Dr. Fetzer called me as I
was about to enter the building in which
the occurrence had taken place. Ho was
rather angry and excitedly demanded
from mo whether It was right for the
teacher to lock pupils In her school during
the whole dinner hour. I said it was not
and remnrked that the janitor had locked
the building. He then asked whether
suitors nre paid to tnKe care oi cuudreu
answered. "Thev nre not. Hut the
teacher did not know that the boys were
locked in until you went tor your ooy.
He would not reason about the matter,
and maintained that the teacher, was
wronir. and had done it intentionally. He
then asked again If it was right for the
teacher to lock ills boy in lor an Hour ami
a (iiarter. lsaid, "Of course such a thing
woulo not be right." Finding that he
and the teacher differed, I said to him :
"Come In and we will see tlie teacner
about it." "No." be replied. "I am too
angry to go In." I told him ho bad no
rlglit to get so angry, mat ne could not
listen to reason. Then I said, "Well
will go In and talk to tbe
teacher about it and you come
and see me again." I hnve not seen
him since. Two days later quito a
seusntionnl report of the occurrence ap
peared iu the HEHALD. The report de
clared that a teacher had resorted to im
prisonment ns a mentis of punishment, by
locking threo boys In the school room
during the dinner intermission; and that
other teachers had resorted to the same
means of tiunishment. The report In con
clusion pointed ot that "scores of danger
ous possibilities" might arlso from this
practice "such as the breaking out of
n res."
in the discharge of niv duties I felt
compelled to investigate tlie whole mat
ter, so mat i couiu correct an auuso, u i
found It; and If not, that I could protect
the teachers and tho schools from unjust
and unfair criticisms. I reported tlie re
sults of my investigation to the School
lioard. My report concluded as iouows:
None of our teachers have resorted to
such means of punishment. On or about
April lot u. a teacner nail occasion to
punish three boys. The punishment ap
plied was thnt they should remain in
school nfter tho morning session nnd
write 100 words. After the school had
been dismissed, the teacher reduced tho
number of words to CO nnd went to din
uer. after telling the boys to hurry nnd
complete their work nnd go home. The
Iiovh limn no veil ner instructions ami
remained iu until the janitor
had locked tho building. With this
llttlo occurrence as a basis the llEU
ALD's sensational item was worked up. It
Is very unjust and unfair to our teachers
nnd our scuoois to nave nine lnciuenis
magnified, twisted into sensational
charges and spread out before the general
Gublic through tho press. Whatever may
ave been the motive back of this attack,
tho attack itself is so manifestly unjust
and unfounded that It deserves to be con
demned."
Tho Hr.ltALD published my report on
May 3d, and the next day, a comniunica
tion nurnortluu 'o bo n- 'in ir I etzer.
Tlie communicauu.i tuis so stuuiouslv
discourteous that I had to conclude that
it was intended to be insulting. I paid no
nttentiou to it, because such things do
most barm to ttielr nutliors. However,
lhave slnco learned thnt Dr. Fetzer denies
that he has shown any discourtesy or in
tended to be offensive. He says that the
reporter of the HintALD Interviewed him
and thnt the form and language of the
communication belongs entirely to tho
reporter. It appears Irom tbls ttiat tho
reporter got intormation from Dr. Fetzer
nnd put it In form and language to suit
his own purposes. Asldo from the inex
cusable breach of common courtesy, it
was rather an unscrupulous way to at
tempt to convict mo of "partiality,"
whitewashing, etc.
To sum up. In regard to the first charge,
the Hkhald'8 case rests entirely on Dr.
Fetzer s statement mat ins uoy, t.wno is
about u years old), told him that the
teacher "left him in the room and told
him to remain there until she returned."
To sustain the second charge you Have
adduced nothing. You simply state that
children have been locked in nnd that I
can have the names if I want them.
My report was based on statements
from the teachers, some of whom I con
sulted individually, and all were con
sulted in a body, at our iustltutomeeting.
I reported according to my nrm convic
tions. v nen i pause to consider, i can
not understand why tbe IlKHALD nnd Dr.
Fetzer should be so much exercised
about this aflnlr. It certainly can
not bo from anxiety for the safety
of tho children. If it is then they
must bo laboring under serious mis
apprehensions. For many years past
It lias been customary tuiuiuw pupus who
live a considerable distance from . the
schools to remain in the buildings during
the dinner hour to ent their dinners. Tho
custom is so old now, that nobody has
thought of any danger not even the
Hkhai li. Tbe fact is that dniigera In this
ritMiect are reduced to the minimum, bo
cause, first thero are no more stoves In the
buildings and, second, it is a very rnro
instance that n building is locked during
the dinner intermission for more thnn
half hour without a teacher or janitor
being in or about it. It takes a very vivid
imagination to conjure up "scores of
dangerous possibilities, such as breaking
out of a fire." The HfiltALD attempted "to
make a mountain out of a mole hill." No
parents have complained, to my knowl
edge, on account ot their children being
locked in the buildings.
In conclusion, I would like to remnrk
that the Hkiialu is not pursuing n friend
ly course toward our schools by constitu
ting itself a depository for the reception
of charges and complaints against
teachers, or a medium through which to
convict teachers llrst and let them get
tried alter. I can say, without boasting,
that there Is notin the state a more faith
ful, successful, and hard-working corns
of teachers than ours. They are the
same, with a very few exceptions, thnt Mr.
Freeman so highly recommended to the
School Hoard and to me ntthecloeof Inst
school term. After my year's experience
I can recommend them to tho next School
Hoard. They deserve It. When Mr. Free
man transferred his olllce to me, he ad
vised mo lo be careful about protecting
the toachers, "for," snld he, "there nre
people who would render their lives
miserable, If nllowed to have their way."
My experience has g j:io far to couvlncu in
of the wisdom of tills advice. Our schools
nre onon to the public. We desiro the
public to visit them nnd note the work

which we submit ns all we deem is

they would, lie Is m tavor ot boys sign

ought to be very careful to set their boys
the proper example, not only In r gnrd to
tlie use of Honor but other habits
aswell. Children are influenced by their
surionndlncs in the home, and are
nlTectcd cither for good or bad on the
principle of heredity. Some of the illus

iv.hhc the most careless to stop and think.

The friends of Joseph Patterson, wh
is charged with being implicated In recent
robberies at Minersville, nre confident of
the accused ultimately proving his inno
cence of nny connection with these depre
ciations. M. M. Htirke. Lsq., hisnttorney,
this morning applied lo court to accept
ball, which was granted in th.. sum of
$J),000, nnd the prisoner released. It is
claimed by the friends of Pnttersou that
an alibi can easily be proven, so fnr as
Minersville robberies are concerned,
They further say that his arrest is due
more to a desire for the rewnrd offered
thnn from any evidence ngaiust the ac
cused. Tills view of the case is accepted
bv iniinv from the fact that Patterson
has led a reformed life during tho past
