DECEMBER · I 895 Miss Thompson said she did not intend to try to improve as she considered herself one of Ethel quietest women on the place. She showed very great disrespect for my position, leaving personal indignity out of it entirely. I wished my talk with her to be private. As my mother and one of the students were in my sitting room, I took her to my bed room; but persons in the sitting room heard every word she said—and people in the hall, if there were any there, could have heard her. Mrs. Kaine complains also of Miss T., the opposition evinced toward suggestions. I need your support in this matter. I wish the teachers to understand that the authority incumbent upon my position must be respected. I do not care as to personal feeling. ~ wish you would write to Miss Thompson. You cannot censure her too sharply. ~ feel she has insulted my position. Very truly Leonora L. Chapman P.S. Mrs. Bond talks loudly in the halls very frequently. ALS Con. too BTW Papers DLC. L. L. C.
