A Sumner Citizen Writes in ft Reference to the Recent Difficulty. Editor Times: As there lately ap peared in the columns of Tho Times an articlo which places tho Sumner school before tho public in a very unenviable and undeserved light, will you 'kindly allow me space iu your columns to correct tho errone ous Impressions caused by tho article in question. A long residence in Sumner and a personal acquaintance with every child in tho school has convinced tho writer of the fact that no district in tho stato of Oregon can boast of a more moral, intelli gent and obedient lot of pupils than those who compose tho Sumner school; a statement which will be confirmed by formor teachers who havo taught successful terms hero, and left, regretted aliko by pupils and patrons. It is true that of late our school has been torn by dissen sion, and rented by discord, a coj dltlon of affairs for which outsldo In terference is believed to havo been largoly responsible, and for which tho pupils aro In no wise to blamo, being merely tho hapless victims of circumstances, and deeply do thoy feel tho humiliation of having been placed before your readers in tho guise of a lawless mob. As for tho alleged assault by 12-year-old Jlm mlo Stock, tho school Is practically a unit in declaring that tho attack was mado upon instead of by him, and that ho did nothing worso than seize and hold tho stick of stovewood with which ho was being belabored. Tho lato teacher having resigned, tho position is now filled by Miss An na Waldvogol, a most estimable young lady of Bandon, who had charge of our school last year, and under whoso benign sway no discord marred tho session. Sho wa3 joy fully welcomed by her former pupils, who know that sho Is their friend, and no stronger proof of Iter regard for them could bo desired than tho fact that sho was willing to resign a flno position in her homo town and return, to bring order out of chaos, and restore peaco and harmony to our discouraged and well nigh dis tracted school, Respectfully yours, SUMNERITE.
