He charged that the tion of the «chool was owi.g to the in- efficiency of his assistant, Mr. L. B. Ailen, for the school began to fai! off just about the lime he (A.) took Mr. Stewart's place. Mr. McKee filed the statement with the committee, and aiso presented a petition signed by 150 citizens, aod a number of pri- vate letters requesting bis reappoint ment.

There were no dates or lists of studies on tac cards, and it was almost impossible to enter correctly in the record book. He had besa often interrupted by Mr. McKee’s boys ue about it without effect. There was often disorder in the hallways, and it was Mr. McKee’s business to quell the same. Often McKee had the boys to assist him, and it was usual for others to do his work.
