TO PROTECT THE TEACHERS
op'Ecr OF : RESOLUTION OF SEN
ATOP GAkLNGER.
Reports Thattsome Who Testiaed in
Recent School Inquiry Have
Been Made ito Suffer.

Mr.. GallingerEf odaW presented resolu-
ton in the Sena1e witR view of protecting
teachers who tsStifedSbefore a subcommit-
tee of the Senar District committee in re-
iation to the pcbiic &ehools. This resolu-
ton provides:
That the committee on the District OF
Columbia be instructed to inquire and re-
port to the Senate whether any teacher in
the public schools of the District of Column
bia has been censured or taken to task by
superior officer on account of the testi-
nony given by such h4teacher during the re-
cent investigation Of the public schools
The objection of Mr.. Mason caused the
resolution to go over until tomorrow, when
the Senate will undoubtedly adopt it. 1t
did not give rise to any discussion.
Feeling In the Senate,
The introduction of this resolution in the
Senate is one evidence Of an intense feeling
on the part of senators over reports that
have reached them that certain supervising
principals and others high In authority in
the school organization have placed some
teachers in very uncomfortable positions
on account of their testimony in regard 10
the public schools, and especially on ac-
count of their comments on the superin-
tendent. .'
In one case a teacher who made some
very caustic comments on the superintend-
ent, it is said was taken to task by her
supervising principal in the presence of
several other teachers. Senators declare
that teachers will be protected to the ut
most against being annoyed in this way,
and there is a feeling that such acts on the
part Of any Of those in authority in the
schools should be dealt with in very de-
cided manner, and If necessary those who
are guilty of such acts should be dealt with
summarily.
Senator Stewart.s Promise
Senator Stewart gave positive assur-
ances to some of those who referred to
the danger of critfcising superior officials,
that they would be protected, and that
any effort to annoy them would not be
Senators declare that they will not toi-
crate any effort to establish a reign of
terror among the teachers The resolu-
ton, which will undoubtedly be adopted
by the Senate tomorrow, will result in in
qulrleS, IN order to ascertain the names of
those who have attempted to annoy
teachers.
Other Methods of Injuring.
There is also a strong feeling that teach
ers should be protected from any attempts
to injure them in any covert way 1t is
said that it might happen that some one in
authority will discover that a teacher who
gave critical testimony will be suddenly dis
covered to be at fault in some way in rela-
tion to her duties, although Of the highest
standing before. Any such effort to hurl
displeasure Of officials on the teachers, IL
it should occur, will be Investigated and it
will be seen that no injustice is done

When People Will Begin to Go to the

New York. May 25.-Although the

hotel rates prevalent in Paris have kept
many tourists on this side who planned
to go across in May. They also point
to the increased facilities for passenger

to 10000 more passengers this summer
than couid have been taken last sum

transatlantic business a year ago have
been laid off, but a larger number has
