consumptive teachers were employed as
teachers In two or three cases which
he cited, giving names, consumptives
had been asked to resign their posi-
tons. In one case, in the Washington
school, teacher surprised everyone by
developing quick consumption, but she
was promptly relieved of her position
as soon as the discovery was made.
ASKED to specify wherein any member
OF the board had been actuated by preju-
dice in the matter of the employment of
home teachers, Mrs. Horne said she could
only give the names of those who had ap-
piled for positions and failed to obtain
them, and them she continued, you
can decide for yourselves who voted for
and who against those applicants"
Mrs. Horne was again pressed with the

her husband urged her to not tell the

that. DO you?' queried Mr.. Critchlow.
Mr.. Moyle moved that the charges in
Mrs. I4orne's resolution be fully inveS-
tlgated, al Il time TO be named. and that
she and an others be invited to present
their evidence.
There was no second to the motion. Mr..
C-Itchlow remarked that he did not pro-
pose to investigate the matters com
planned of till Mrs. Horne furnished the

Mr.. Critchlow's motion to excuse Mrs
Horne from the committees presence

MR.. MOVIES SENSATION
After Mrs. Horne left the committee
room, Mr.. Moyie said: Now, I'll have
an investigation to show how you, my
fellow members, are prejudiced against
employing Utah teachers because only
that the applicants were not Gentiles.'
The allegation was challenged and the
accuser replied he had in mind the names
OF II. A. Smith. Brigham Ashton and AL
bert Spencer. who had been unsuccessful
in securing teachers positions, but Mr..
Moyle admitted that their applications
We're turned down long ago, before the
present board members were elected.
AS TO the matter of consumption he
charged that teacher in the Lowell
school IS affected. When pressed for her
name Mr.. Moyle could not tell but he
privately disclosed the name of his in
1ormant. He favored physical eXamina-
ton of all teachers and successful aD-
pllcants for positions in the schools.
Then Mr.. Critchlow took the floor. He
said: Mir. Moyle, neither you nor Mrs.
Horne can tell US the name of a single
consumptive teacher. AS to the insinua-
ton of prejudice you can't name an in
stance, for prejudice does not exist among
the n-Mormon members of the board
You, however. want none but Utah-born
and Utah-educated teachers employed in
our schools. How long, tell me. does

exclusive notion, to acquire resiaence in

You are the most prejudiced man on
earth, Mr.. Moyle,' said Chairman Nell

but you are honest in it, Mr.. Nelden:"

In unison from Messrs. Cotton. Nelden
