Mr. Hopewell told you that thus' far only a few parents had with* drawn their children from Wake-, field. He left it to me to tell you that three of the lawyers helping the Lynn family are Wakefield parents;' and that several other Wakefield! parents have filed affidavits in supr.' port of the Lynn family. To myf knowledge, none of these parents have yet withdrawn their children? they still hope the board will comeitol its senses. Mr. Hopewell also told, you that 21 Wakefield teachers had; signed a letter to parents in support* of the school. He is, however, more> willing to cite the letter than share, it. No parent that I know has rer ceived a copy. - *
