TEACHERS DECLINE IHOUSE DETERMINED TO GO TOSIGN ANY PAPER. ON RECORD AS FAVORING Asked to Endorse Resolution of | Fealty t IEDIGNATION Principal Fowler and Attorney Sexton Al- School— 0 School Board EXPRESSED | Make Statements Regarding leged Action at Barritt Sexton Grows Bitter. Another bomb-shell in the con- fusing maze of circumstances attend- | ant upon the school board unpleasant- ness was thrown, so it is stated, yes- terday afternoon when Principal E. R. Fowler the new Elihu Burritt school called his staff of teachers to- gether and urged upon them the need of signing a paper pledging their surport to the local school admin- stion. Details of the meeting are sketchy but feeling is running high among a certain group of teachers at the school becausc of the alleged high-handed methods of obtaining thair co-operation. Though ‘the mee i nd the cvents that transpired were supposed to be veiled in the strictest secrecy it became public property in a surprisingly short time. It was said that the principal at- tacked P. McMahon and M. A. Sexton in no uncertain words and necessarily put another bolster under their expressed decision to carry the thing through Principal Fowler, and Lawyer Sex- ton have made public statements which the Herald prints herewith. Tt is also understood that P. S. McMa- hon and Stanley H. Holmes, super intendent of schools, were ecloseted for several hours this morning but the result of their conference is vet of S, gard to the alleged affirmation loyalty submitted to the teachers aid that none of the local teachers were willing to sign it Principal Fowler states that was no coercion attempted but that % discussion was held in regard to the lo: ty question. Sexton's Statement. Lawyer Sexton, who has been re- tained by a committee of teachers to defend their interests in the threat- ened probe calied for by the school board to determine who has been spreading “maliclous propaganda’” against the school authorities, made the following statement in regard to his case. He reffFfastg, the s ing, reported to him as having held yesterday altérneon. Speakirs with especial reference to this mect- ing and what he termed the attitude of Principal Fowler and Sur ent Holmes, Mr. Sexton “If there is a teacher in this town who has made a false or mali statement against the perintende nt why he not come out with the char: Let the public know what it is and give the accused an oppor tunity to refute it and defend her- self and her reputation. That's tha nly way to do it and the chiv: rous way: mot go about it in secret and devious ways and try .and bludgeon the teachers into signing a resolution against their wishes. Why Stanley H. Holmes so anxious o have the indorsement of the feachers if his administration is so far above the breath of suspicion? You would think that if things were as he would have them appear, the teachers wouid rush to his defense and not have to be corralled like a flock of sheep, anrd coercive measures cmployed to make them do something they did not wish to do. TIs this the brand of democracy we are to have taught in our schools? “The teachers are to lated” said Mr. Sexton, “for the at- titude they took in refusing to sign or endorse any resolution that did not meet with their approval. It showed they had iren in their blood and their blood corpuscles were of bright brilliant red and not of pale sickly hue. These teachers have nothing to fear from the stand they have taken. They need not feel that their positions have been jeopardized “The people have risen in their de fense. I advise the teachers to sign resolution presented to them, pe- cause I do not think it will be for their interests to do so. The meeting vhich took place Manday afternoon it the Elihu Burritt school was the most disgraceful thing that has hap- | pened in New Britain, if all reports ire true. Think of a man corralling a imber of teachers in the school and trying to eram down their throats a resolution indorsing the school admin- istration against their will. Ana that took place yesterday afternoon, not in Russia, but right here in our very midst. And these people are the people who wanted $7,000 to Ameri- ze the foreigner. If I had known at the time that the tax rate was up for discussion that we have such for- cigners among us, not from across the sea, but imported from Maine, T would be in favor of the appropria- tion. What Mr. Fowler said person- ally in regards to me and Mr. Me- Mahan will be taken up at the proper time and in the proper way. But for the present we shall not deviate one jot from the course we have mapped out. This fight will be to a finish and the teachers can rest assured that we »ill he with them to the eng.” No Coercion, Says Fowler, The following statement was made by Principal Edward R. Fowler this afterndon: “The teachers' meeting held in the of is docs m: be congrati- no (Continued on Page Eleven.)
