| A Gross Injustice.
| 1t will be noticed that the name of
Prof. George f. Griffith, teacher of
music. and Miss Jennie A. Kane,
teacher at school building No. 5, do
not appear in the list OF appoint
ments. Mr. Griffith is relieved. it is
intimated. to make room for the re-
| appointment of former IN
| structor of music rs an out
come of the last school cleo
ton. though others insist that Mr..
| Griffith will be reappointed at
| future meeting. But the omission
| of Miss Kane's name from the list of
appointments has occasioned consid
| cradle comment and no little criti-
| cism. THE ARGUS has endeavored
| to ascertain the reason OF her re-
| moval. but so for has failed to do so.
| The members of the board for the
| most part are not inclined to con-
| verse on the subject. From
| the best that can be learned
Miss Kane has not been retained
| simply because of her Roman Catho-
lie faith, and that she is not gradu-
| ate of the Rock Island public schools.
| None will dispute the propriety
of the rule which gives graduates of
| the public schools an advantage over
| applicants for positions as teach
| ers who are not. but it does not
| seem to be the proper policy to
! inaugurate such a plan where IT
| strikes teacher who has served in the
| public schools faithfully for - years
as Miss Kane has. and whose record
as a teacher cannot be assaulted.
Views Solicited.
| An ARGUS representative sought
| expressions from the members of the
| board today in relation to the ground
for the action. with the following re-
! suit:
President ID. j. Sears-..Youll
bers. That is all i care to say about
| it"
Director H ID. Folsom-.I posi-
| lively decline to be interviewed on
the subject l have nothing to say
| whatever.
