May Arrest the School Teacher

New York, 1895

The parents of Willie Umfricht, 12 years old, who is a pupil in the school at New Hyde Park, have been advised to cause the arrest of the principal of the school, William Dodge, on the charge of assault. Friday afternoon Principal Dodge had occasion to correct the boy, and when he called him to the platform the boy refused to obey. Then the principal went to the boy's seat and endeavored to pull him from it. Willie resisted, and during the struggle which followed he received an ugly gash in the cheek.
