FORMER SUPT. OF
To the editor: I understand certain
insinuations have boon made in the
local press signed by the entire board j
cf education that my resignation took
place two years ago because of antug-1
onism existing between the Parent-'
Teachers association and myself. 1 1
wish to say if there was ono body
that co-operated with me and worked:
diligently for better schools it was
the Pareut-Teachera association. At
no time during the period of three
years I spent in Medfcrd do 1 recall
a single instance in which this organ
ization failed to co-operate with me.
It is true there were two or three
individuals who tried to cause more
or less trouble, and I presume they
are just as active now as they were
-then, but at no time did they have
it ho Parent-Teachers association he
hind them.
tMy attention has also been called
to an article appearing in the Ic-cal
press, signed by tho school board, a
portion of which reads "Our schools
were in an unsatisfactory condition,
there was an entire lack of system
and standards were low. There was
a haphazard way of doing things and
an entire lack of discipline in the
high school." New the author of the
above quotation, who seems to claim
bo much interest in .tho schools at
thnt time, on previous occasions has
made similar public utterances. This
seems to be his'principal refugo when
in a tight placo. Evidently tho writer
of this article is trying desperately
to cover up Bomo cf his underhanded
dealings and public mistakes by sim
ply "passing tho buck." I do not
see how the school hoard can publish
6uch statements over their own signa
tures and get away with it. Kvery
organization in Bedford, as well as
the parents, teachers, pupils, Mr. Pal
mer and former members of the
hoard know this statement to be ma
liciously false. The author of this
anticle is trying hard to justify him
self as a pubiic servant and resorts to
false statements to clarify himself in
the eyes of his constituency. Had
the board's backbone been as stiff as
it now apparently seems to bo the
present educational calamity would
never have happened, Certainly the
conditions, of two years ago could
hardly bo compared with tho condi
tions which now exist. The schools
of Mcdforrl can nvcr lr bettor than
its school board, no mailer whai the
scholastir standing and experience of
its insti'uctorial staff may be.
The public certainly knows why 1
resigned, but for fear some have for
gotten. I wish to say, it was brought
about for two reasons: the iniiar
imnious conditions existing in the
board and the lack of support and
sympathy from that body.
Kow in my case, the insidious pro
paganda referred to in the article,
which is laid wholly on the people,
was propagated and nursed in the
board itself. So far as other organi
zations are concerned, they had no
hand in it to my knowledge'
The term "heartbroken" as applied
is really amusing. Can you imagine
a superintendent being heart broken
knowing he is no longer connected
with such a lilies of affairs
Sincerely yours, M. V. 1111. 1. IS.

To the Public: The Parent-Teacher
association of .Med ford has been ac
cused both openly and by insinuation
of having caused trouble in school
matters at various times for sevtr:il
years, and of having been largely re
sponsible for the resignation of our
former city superintendent. In i tu
ple justice to our organization we as
presidents and ex-presidents of the
.Med ford Parent-Teacher council feel
that a public statement is appropriate
at this time. We havo never under
taken any plan of work wit beat first
consulting superintendent and princi
ples, and when it has seemed best to
appeal flo the board of education for
help, we have done so in the form of
a request always working with the
one aim in view, the upbuilding of
our schools. "Wc have never asked
for, nor worked for the resignation of
any superintendent, principal or
teacher.
Our iormor superintendent, Mr.
Millis, was here three years and at
no time did tho Parent-Teacher coun
cil, which was organized at the be
jrinniug of his first year, or any indi
vidual circle, so far as wo know,
vote contrary to his ideas or policies.
Our Avork with him was always har
monious and wo were always certain
of his co-operation and sympathy. He
was seldom too busy to attend coun
cil meetings and did much work on
various committees. As a superin
tendent he was courteous, progressive
and untiring. As for his school
work here we feel satisfied that his
ideas and ideals of education were
j far in advance of his time showing a
I clear vision of urgent changes nec
' essary in our educational system to
meet the practical demands of the
1 world today. The declaration of war
'caused upheaval in schools thruout
j t he land, but tho way in which he met
these conditions plainly showed, not
'only his ability, bii't his patriotic do
Isiro to see the schools of our cOLintry
'do their full share in preparing the
coming men and women for the new .
problem:: to be met. !
We wish to express our apprecia
tion of the work done in our i-chools
at that time.
