What J. G. Evans Regards As '~ High-Handed Proceedings on the Part of the Board of Education. 2 Kingston, Dec. 16.--(To the Edit- or): lhe Board of kducation has placed its seal of appiSbation on the wishes of the pedagogical combina- tion, and decided that three of its teachers shall terminate their connec tion with the local Collegiate In< stitute with the closing of the year 1907. Recklessly disregarding the will and wish of that part of our popu- lation directly interested in the af- ignoring the welfare of the pupils of the colicgiate, and impudently defying the electors of the city of Kingston, the Board of Education has decided to ruthlessly retire two teachers, who, in their preparation, for their present vocation, captured the honors of Queen's University in the form of gold medals, and two others whose services have been satisfactory to everyoue else concerned, excepting the dean of the School of Pedagogy. Jut this is not the first high-handed game for the present Board of Educa- tion to play in the management of the educational matters of our city. Look briefly at some of its doings : 1.--Three times did the people of the city who = were sending their children to the public schools and to the Col legiate Institute petition the board to replace the fifth form in the public schools, and, without deigning a rea- son or excuse to the petitioners, they refused the request almost without discussion of the matter. The last time they were petitioned, the list at- tached to the petition bore the names of nearly 800 respectable, taxpaying citizens, and this petition they con- sigued to the waste basket. Eight hundred citizens do not amount to as much in the estimation of the hing- ston Board of Education as one dean of a School of Pedagogy. Eight bun- dred complaints are ignored because they come from the people; one com- plaint is heeded, because it comes from a clique, although its attention may wreck our Collegiate Institute. 2.--Not only has the Board of Edu- cation refused to give that recogni- tion to which the people are at all times entitled in the question of returning the fifth form to the public school, from which they took it with- out right or concrete reason, but it has even defied the majesty of the law by robbing the child of the toiler of {the privilege of all the fifth form work {means to one who is unable to go {farther because of a lack of means, and it continues to defy the law in the case by refusing to consider either a fifth form in the public school or a free first form in the Collegiate lnsti- tute, or at least, that portion of first form work which should be cov- ered by the fifth form in the public school. Neither voter nor fe firures in the considerations or {clusions of the Board of Education. 3.--An increase was made in the con- |salaries of the teaching stafi of the public schools without consulting those on whose shoulders rests th responsibility of raising and applying the taxes of the city. Not that I am opposed to our teachers being well and adequately paid, but I contend that the city council should have been consulted in the matter, and ils ac quiescence secured before imposing ad- ditional financial burdens upon an al- strained treasury. But this Board of Education is not satisfied Stanfield's Underwear Srother or sister| that shrinks. else, on tiling | trier is required to per | to Ae uhder one of the tollow-| ' Sizes from 22 to 70 inch ing plans :-- 11) At least six months' residence year during the term of three years.

It would have been more in keeping with decency and the common praprieties that prevail in such cases to leave such an important and vital matter to the board which will be called upon to face the conse- quences of such action, and the trans fer would have met with universal approbation, There are just two aspects of the present trouble that I would crave permission to present to your readers in concluding this contribution : First--In all matters pertaining to the internal economy of the col- legiate, Principal Ellis should be con- sulted and nothing contrary to his opinion should be forced upon the school or the board which governs it. Two distinct authorities claiming equal jurisdiction cannot long live peaceably in the same institution. In- stead of going into the clags-room and condemning a teacher on a mo- ment's watching, the inspector should have consulted the principal, and then should have acted on his recommen- dation, then everybody would be satis- fied to abide by the result. For, to know Principal Ellis means to have! confidence in him, and I feel sure if the principal had reported against| the dismissed teachers they would] have been satisfied with the removal, however painful the change ut this time of the year. Instead of the wli-| able and conscientious opinion ul an authority like the principal, we ave | acting on the advice of ma. who com- | pared to him in the case are a lot of | educational novices. Second--The real facts of the case] of the teachers in the colivginte, sel-| ected for + the axeof the dean have] been suppressed, and the people who | ought to kmow have been kept in ig | 1 norance. This is not fair and just in the circumstances. The parents who | are paying for the education gf their children in the collegiate, have a right to real facts in the case. Why have] they been kept in the dark ? Dark-| ness is preferable, to light, because the| deed is evil. Now, is it not a fact| that the teachers, who are booked to] leave the collegiate are paying the] penalty for following the teaching | methods suggested by their own u-| perior, and this very method demon-| strated in the presence of the inspec | tor constituted the principle caus: of | complaint incorporated in the adverse | report to the minister of education It will be a sorry day for the coiley ate when the management of i's al- fafrs is taken, out of the hands of it's principal, in whose ability and ex- perience, all who know him have so much confidence, and it is only Ye-| cause 1 think it has been done jn this case, that I lift my voice in protést against an act, wrong in principle, and dangerous in application.--Tl.
