Curtis, president, in the chair, and Brooks secretary. THE SECOND DISTRICT AGASSIZ CONTRIBU- TION. Mr. Woodward filed a receipt for #58, the contribution of the teachers and puptis of the Secon district to the Agassiz memorial The t laid before the board the fol- lowing communication, referred to the board by the Commissioners of the District, and in so doing said he regretted the necessity of the ing of an unpleasant controversy: LETTER OF MR. JOHN E. THOMPSON. WASHINGTON, June 23, 1875. Commissioners of the Information fon me that statements have been made to you prejadi- cial to my official character as a teacher in | the public schools, said statement being in- ied to obtain yours of my removal to-morrow night from held for more than twenty-seven years with- out opposition until this now manifested by two or three mem! of the present boart of school trustees. Iask most respectfully what are these statements, and by whom are they made? I ask is it Just that I may be condemned on ex parte statement, without a full hearing, and without being ‘confronted by the witnesses against me? [respectfully ask your attention to the provisions in what are known as the * Morrill” and the “Cnip- man” bilis for “the better government of the District of Columbia,” whi approval of many members of the last Con gress, but which Were not finally acted upon for want of time. Both of these bills expressly provide that teachers shall be dismissed “only for cause after they shall have had a fair opportanity to make @ summary defense publicly b the board, as its regulations fshall pre zi This principle has been in usa: re from the foundation of our school <ystem to the present time. Ihave no information as to what this secret attack 1s. On the other hand, at the last meeting of the school board was DENIED THE POOR PRIVILEGE OF AN EX- PLANATION after statements widely different from the truth (as I have ample testimony to estab- lish) had been repeatedly made against me. The loudest objector was Trustee Hart. who, for more than three years has, without any Just cause, vindictively assailed my charac- ‘er for integrity, who has made statements to my prejudice so manifestly false that he lentes mé the right of public refutation. The origin of Trustee rt’s hostility is found in the fact that I differed from him in regard to the adoption of D. Appleton & Co.'s series of geographies, who, he charges, bribed me. as well as several’ of his col. leagues, to support these books. These scan- | dalous slanders. be published in newspapers nd in pamphiet form. In the persistent ut- terance of gross and scandalous libels, such as this, you will perceive the reason why I said to him after the adjourament of the May meeting of the sehool trustees, after due inquiry as to the truth of his allega- tions, “Hart, if you say I interfered with that committee on prizes, I say you are a liar” Afterwards, when he refused to take back bis SHAMEFUL FALSEHOODS, I further said to bim: “I brand you asa here before your colleagues.” Stich la as this I never before used to any one, ne having had similar cause. Hundreds of U best citizens of Washington are ready to say 1} that such language from me is @ departure | from my usual disposition and demeanor. I meant no disrespect to any other trustee, and especially to the honorable Commis: sioners, who have been so attentive to the needs Of our teachers. The language was uttered while I was smarting under the re- peated falsehoods uttered by this persistent efamer of my character. lam ready to meet any accusation against me. but I must repeat the request to know what they are and who makes them. As the honorable Commissioners are well awar our public schools have heretofore been cor ducted without the interference of politi parties ox religious sects, but the influence of personal whim, prejudice or spite in the selection of teachers will be more destructive than either party proser' bigotry. I ask for a full hearing of this mat- ter, with confidence that the honorable Com- missioners will promptly arrest this atterapt to ruin my reputation ‘as a teacher and to expel me from the school system which I contributed to build up by the exertions of a | life time. Submitted most respectfully, JOMN E. THOMPSON bighonrcee Male Grammar School Mstrict. The above communication was simply in- dorsed by the District Commissioners, *Re- ourth spectfully referred to the Board of Trustees of | Public Schools, District of Columbia.” VIEWS OF DIFFERENT MEMBERS ON THE SUBJECT. Mr. Champlin moved that the communica- tion be received and placed on file. Mr. Lioyd thought it might be best to beg: a special committee to examine Mr. Tuo: son's charges. If they could be sustained Mr. T. must be exculpated. It was not the , first time Mr. Thompson had been attacked, and his attack came from the same source. Mr. Her nication berespectfully returned to the Com Missioners with the information that the board has noofficial knowledge of the facts set forth in the letter. Mr. Hovey said the communication contained ipnuendoes cal- culated to bring the board into contempt. Mr. J. S. Brown thought it ought not to be received. Mr. Jobnson insisted on his mo- tion, since any member of the board might be arraigned on similar vague charges. Mr. J. H. Brooks was of the opinion that the Commissioners referred the communication to the board in a mere formal way, and with- out any view toan investigation. The presi- dent, Mr. Curtis, favored referring the com- munication to the committee on teachers. Mr. Dyer said the communication called for no investigation. Mr. Detrick moved that it lie on the table. Mr. Lioyd said that Mr. | Thompson sent the ietter to the Commission- ers simply in self-defence, and to explain that the personal controversy between him and a member of the board occurred not dur- ing the session of the board, but after ad- —_—— Mr. Johnson's motion to return communication to the Commissioners | was finally adopted. CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOL SUPERINTEND- CIES. EN An order from the Distriet Commissioners Was read directing the consolidation of the one superin- tendent of public schools for the county of Washington, and one superintendent for the public schools for the city of Georgetown, under the title of “su Intendent of public schools,” and ie superintendent of public schools shall receive a salary at the rate of $3,000 per annum from and after the Ist day of March, 1575.
