Nc. ONIONS IN HER SCHOOL.
Kansrs Teacher Deprives Her Pupils of
an Ancient Right.

hansrs Teacher Deprives Her Pupils of
an Ancient Right.
That wholesome article Of food, the
onion, has had a ban set upon it by
Topeka, Kas., school teacher. Miss
Ellmora Mccoy, a teacher of the Clay
street school, has made it a rule of
her room that no pupil bearing the
@odor OF onions shall be received. She
IS receiving the support Of the prin-
clpal and other teachers in the school
IN her action. All teachers know by
experience how unpleasant it is for
them and the class to be confined in
a room with children whose breath is
strongly @pervaded with the smell of
onions, garlic and other such dishes.
.Prof. .: P. M. McClintock, principal
or the school, fully upholds Miss Nc
10Y, and says law ought to be pass
gu IN every state permitting teachers
TO send home pupils who are in any
way Objectionable. 81 think the point
is covered in the rule of the board of
education. which gives a teacher the
rlgnt to send home from school any
child who for any reason is objection
able TO other children. For instance.
II a child came to school with a large
supply of assafetida, imagine that he
or she would be sent home. When I
was principal of Jackson school last
year | remember sending a certain
~colored girl home regularly because
she came to school in such condition
mat her presence was Objectionable to
the other children. While I confess
That 1 rather like onions myself and
recognize them as wholesome articles
OF food, yet I always have sufficient
consideration for. others to eat them
only when 1 intend to go directly to
oed, without seeing anyone Last
week MISS Mccoy emphasized her Or
DER by sending home two boys for car
rylng onions in their pockets and an
other for having partaken of them.
1 'detest onions" said she, *'but my
aUtent1on was first called to the boys
IN question by other pupils. Children
who were sitting near the two boys
VINO mad onions in their pockets, com
planned of the odor, and did not
think it was right that they should
stay in the room and annoy other
children. I rather suspected the boy
who had eaten them of carrying
onions around with him because the
odor was strong, but he told me that
ne had not handled onions and had
simply eaten them at dinner. He is a
boy am inclined to believe, but the
odor of onions was so strong that ]
decided he should be sent home for
'fumlgation.' In the future. unless
Prof. McClintock objects, all children
who come to school with the odor oil
onions so strong as to be offensive
