Classic Banks of Tippecanoe Disastrous to School Teacher.

Monticello Democrat A reader of the Democrat sends in the following query: "Do you think that a girl’ who has been a teacher in White county** public schools the last three or four years, Joined a camping party on the banks of the Tippecanoe last summer, began teaching again when the public schools opened in September last, and resigned her position the day she gave birth to an infant (October 20) has ‘nerve’ enough to carry her through life’s emergencies?" There can not be much question as to ‘nerve’ whatever one may think of her discretion. In some respects the former is to he recommended; but it would seem that a proper exercise of the latter would have led her to resign a day or two Wlier. However, why does our correspondent cast an insinuation on the Tippecanoe? Surely an outing on the banks of the Tippecanoe last summer did not lead to all this trouble in October!
