It is not only unfair to teachers who have been given to understand earlier in the year that they would be retained, but if carried out, it would overwork the teaching force that was retained till the schools would suffer most terribly as well as the teachers. I am writing to The Star because it has always championed a right and good cause, and I feel it will surely do its bit to right this, which would be a ter. rible wrong if put into operation, and would be a far worse curse to Seattle than the high taxes, which are had enough, I could write more but have | said all that is necessary to put the! matter before the public with the earnest hope that qué school system, ‘of which we are so proud, will not be injured by a few real estate fiends who would teduce taxes at any cost.
