WON This Writer Claims Discrimination Aeaist Philomath School.' - ' f ' ' ' ' ' mxtnr Times:. ... ', In a. long garrulous article ap- -oearing in the Times of Feb. 27th, nnW the caotion "Denman's re- ply," occur some statements which .rseem to require further elucidation. Mr. Denman says, "this sentence might lead one to infer that the pu 'pia of Philomath had been treated iiffpntW than other schools." that idea was certainly in the minds of the patrons 01 .rmiomatn wnen trie resolution in Question was adop ted. Here is one reason for such WMM-Insinn. Two vears aeo. the ninninsl nt rair T1iri1it School re- Hjuested Mr. Denman to appoint an examining boara at rmiomam, so tViat rnihilsmichtireceive auick re turns from theuexaminations. Mr. Denman granted the request', appar ently in good .faith, and named Prof. J. M. Haskins of Philomath - college, and Mr. J. Weed, chairman of the board of directors, to act -with the principal as such board of vaminers. These men devoted three days to the 8th grade exam ination. Prof. Haskins leaving his classes at the colleee in'other hands The oater of applicants were all carefully graded, marked and sent in KiiTvarinf-pnHent's office." In stead of accepting these grades and sending returns prompuy 10 appli cants, Mr. Denman sent these pa pers to teachers in various parts of the countv for re-reading. Why? A little aver four weeks later. the principal was informed that two sets . of papers had been lost ana tne 'trades of same must be "lumped" at 80 per cent. No reason for hav ing the papers re-read has ever been gived. ' ' We understand that pupils at Cor- -vallis received their grades that 3camA war within a verv few davs after the examination. It was right tbat they should, but why should their papers receive more prompt attention than those from other Schools? Mr, Denman further sta ges, "we will only be to gladtohave a committee appointed either by myself or the directors of Philo math;" but in a letter to the princi pal he says, "I will appoint such a committee providing I can, secure surli a committee in Philomath, This 'last flitior nt Philomath i ! worthy an, answer . ,gUmce it to say iowr. that there tnav be. among the score or more of expenencea teachers iu Philomath, two or three sufficiently qualified to make up Mr. Denman's commitee.
