The Salem School Bill

Editor Cocrier: Sir- Having published an item in tlie Detroit Post on the bilí orranizing tlie Uuion pcbool district of the village of Salem, yon will please do me the kindness to publish this, my reply. The correspondent of the Post in nis item appears to have thought there was a mistake made in the Salem blll. Now the people ¦ interesled in this bill drew it, and ie íb but fair to suppose they knew whac they wanted. The growing of peaches is one of Salem's principal industries, and the people over there propose to have something practical Unght in thelr school. The mistake, I am filad to su y , was not 80 niuch in the blll as in the biain of the veiy affaule young man who represenls the Post, and 1 wish it iliftinctly understood that I do not desire to cast any reflections upon him on account of hls innocent mistakc. Bomo hing like a munth alter the bill bad latsed, and had been commented upun by the otlier papers m the state, the Post correepondeiit bad an accute attack ot be yellows. and broke out in the etfusion above relerred to. Bein# a young inan of good judfiment, usually, as toon as lic iwokfl to his peiilouscoi.dition heat once lact-d hiniself under the care of the )oard of tiustees of the S.ileni ditiict, Hd he reporta to me they are ible not nly to prevent the sprrad but to entiiely me liiedisea.se. And that now, on finher exauiination of the bill, i e timls tli.it lie Union school distiict of the village of la]eal ia not only autliorized to prevent he spread of the yellows in peach tri.es, ui in addition it has all the right and uwer of any other school district, srraded r otherwise. in the stateofMichiifan.
