TEACHERS UNDER ESPIONAGE.
Sixteen Pretty Schoolm a. ans Rebel at the
Edict of a Hard= Headcd

Sixteen Pretty schoolma'ams Rebel at the
Edict of a Hard Headed Trustee.
Sixteen pretter and more indignant young
women than there are in the little commn-
nifty of Woodhaven. l.. l., could not be
found, says the New York Press. They
ale the girl teachers intrusted with the care
and development of the youthful mind at
the various schools in the city. They have
a genuine grievance.
After school hours twelve of them had
ben in the habit of riding by train each
ate Don to their homes 10 Brooklyn and
Williamsburg. But last June the Schoo
Board made them sign contract, binding
them to reside, for at least five days Of each
week. where they taught school-in Wood
haven.
The Trustees are middle-aged or married
men and one of the most fractions and hard
headed of the lot, the girls say, is President
Kirkland, the father of family. The girls
could not rebel, so 1t became necessary to
hoodwlnk the Trustees.
One OF them secured room in Wood
haven as blind for all. The Trustees
thought the order had been obeyed, but
lately the arrangement leaked out. Having
some delicacy in talking to the young
women IN reference 10 the matter the Trus-
tees determined to visit the various churches
teachers. Next day the young women were
asked how they liked the service and the
music. very much" "Oh, delightful"
were the general replies. 1t never occurred
to the Trustees that the young women
| meant the churches near their homes in
Brooklyn.
Now it has come about that the Trustees
order Is peremptory. The young ladies
must live in Woodhaven. They argue a
good case in bright, terse language, but
President Kirkland is unrelenting. To O
| reporter he said:
This place has long needed suitable
number of educated young women as an
addition to society. Last spring the
young women organized an Old Maids
Society and later the young men formed
an old Bachelors Consolation Asso-
cation.' Something should be done
for society in the village. SO L conceived the
Idea of having the school-teachers reside in
the place. | think l have done a good
thing. Certainly the young of the village
should feel grateful to me'

Why
So Anxiously Concerned :?

The prestige of the Royal Baking Powder and
its constant success are matters of anxious conf
Germ to envious competitors.
1t is noted that advertisements of other baking
powders are filled with spleen, malice and miss
representation against the Royal, more than with
honest claims as to their own goods
That the Royal Baking Powder makes finer,
whittier, sweeter, more wholesome cookery the
ladies who have tried other kinds are willing to
testify and tell their neighbors; this fact is a
serious concern to all competitors.
The superb quality of the Royal Baking Pow
der, over and above all other kinds, is never SO
manifest as when tried in comparison. 1t has
greater strength and does not deteriorate with
age, the last spoonful in the can being as good
as the first All over this country the Royal"
has the lead; this is why makers of other brands
envious of its sale and popularity, talk so much
about it.
