An Absorbing Question In London.
From the Boston Herald

The efforts of the proprietors Of certain
swell restaurants in London to compel
their patrons to wear full evening dress at
dinner are going to be tested in the courts
1t will be interesting to see how the dis
pute here involved will be judicially dis
posed of. 1t looks like an impertinence for
restaurateur to undertake to say how
his patrons shall dress, but we recall Lady
Harbertons memorable suit when she
failed to compel London innkeeper to
serve her in the coffee room while she was
wearing boomers

TEACHERS IN SESSION.
Denounce the Old Board and Object K
the Term Life Tenure

The San Francisco Teachers Club met
in the Mercantile Library building last
night and listened TO a report from F.
H. Clark, chairman of the committee on
municipal relations. The report briefly
covered the ground of the salary troubles
with the. old School Board, terminating
in a condemnation of the methods of
that body. 1t also contained a resolution
regarding the common expression of
life tenure in office for teachers" The
report quoted sections of the civil laws
which show that teachers are elected and
can at any time be deposed for incom-
potency or misconduct. In the face OF
this, it was argued. there can be no such
thing as life tenure.
The concluding paragraph in the reso-
luton, relating to the experiences of the
teachers in the closing months of the last
year. is worthy of attention. 1t is as
follows:
1--WE desire to call attention to the fact
that the continuances of teachers at their
posts of duty during the long period Of
collapse of the financial management of
the department proves that their service
is above that of the mere hireling; that
they serve for the cause and not the pay
alone. in no danger of forgetting that the
teacher exists for the school and not the
school for the teacher

Al their meeting yesterday regarding the

attention of the members by request
for the removal of the fence on the Ellis

the objection.
