Show 1 H -H SUPERINTENDENT MILLS' HSupcrintendent Mills is aiming to dl-'citv&ttention dl-'citv&ttention from the real question H involved in his case by Indulging in H personal abuse of the editor of the 1 Standard and the children of the jH editor! 1 What Mr. GJasmann is or has been H is nt the question at Issue. What Mr. j Glasmann's children are or have been H- is not before the people. It is undig- j nified for Mr. Mills, as superintendent 1 of schools, to stoop to personal In- i su?ts, dven though the opportunity may j hi e been presented by a public state- H mtt made 'by one opposed to him. M Mr. Mills is posing as an exemplar. M He prates of his high ideals. When jjhja veneering is rubbed off, wo find MdfiSJent in the cgsontIag of a Hlfled, refined, intellectual gentle- HIIb should address himself to his p faults anl not the alleged short-lings short-lings of. the children of one whom Hhas pointed to as an enemy. WMr. Mills is or the caliber of a Brthy superintendent, he should be Hp enough and sufficiently mngnani-Muis mngnani-Muis to avoid a direct attack on the Hniily of any man in this city He Mhould hold to the broad question of l! own "tness or qualifications as Wrlntendent and not beg the ques-j ' tion by bringing up Irrelevant qucs tions. Mr. Mills, his character, his rcputa tion and his system are under con 8ideration. As superintendent he rnusl be honeBt and upright In all his deal Ings with the board of education. His policies must bo sound. His conduct muBt be aibovc reproach. To say that someone else is a scoundrel is no defense de-fense of Mr. iMllls; to reflect on tho children of those who oppose his poll-1 poll-1 cies is no defense of Mr. Mills. Mr. Mills must answer for himself and prove that ho and his system are othor than false and a menace to this community. The people woo are sending their children to the public schools are not deeply concornod as to who Mr. Glas-mann Glas-mann is, but they do demand that Mr. Mills, as tho guiding head and the guardian of the school children, measure meas-ure up to tho standard of a truthful, ; uuueai man. Mr. Mills has said the Standard has ' misrepresented him and juggled figures. fig-ures. Will Mr. Mills specifically state wherein wo have misrepresented him or juggled figures? oo |
