WHAT’S HIS REASON
FOR SUM THIS
The following article is a clipp-
ing taken from last week’s issue
of The Earlsboro Messenger,
owned and edited by F. X.
Resch:
THE WANETTE SCHOOL
The Wanette school opens on
the first Monday in September
with a faculty of four teachers.
Prof. Wertz is the principal, and
is considered one of the best and
foremost educators in this part
of the state. As a rule, Wanette
ordinarily has a good school, but
owing to the small faculty this
year, the outlook is not very
gratifying.—Earlsboro Mess-
enger.
We haven’t much to say on
our part other than that the
Wanette school will commence
about September 15th. It is
quite true there will be only four
teachers, but this season’s school
will stand out as one of the best
that Wanette has ever had. Mr.
Resch endeavors, so it appears j
to us (for the foregoing is notj
the first article of a similar j
nature to appear in his paper,) I
to exercise too much predom-
inancy over the heads of the
people. Such false reports do
not reflect credit on himself or
publication.
