This year, in the blank contracts sent
out to the county boards of education,
Commissioner Glenn has had inserted a
clause reserving the right to the boards
to modify Or annul the contract of any
teacher whose school fails to average
certain number of pupils. This touches
the pockets of few teachers; it touches
the character of the great body of teach
ers. It assumes that they would be will
ing TO rob few unfortunate fellow
laborers 10 order that their own salaries
might be increased with the plumber. 1t
implies that the morals of Georgia teach
ers are about on a level with those of
pickpnckets and cutthroats. [ am sure
there is not a teacher in Terrell county
who approves of this clause in the con-
tracts. | do not believe there is one in
the stste who approves of it.
Commissioner Glenn, in his speech, de-
sclibes, very pathetically, the case of
a young lady in Tennessee who, having
been deprived of her place by the machi-
nations of politician, committed sui
