the effect that members of the girls
basket ball team at Buchtel college
will not be able to play in public be-
cause Of the fact that they wear

President Church of the college. He
stated that the faculty has never con-

story was started at that time. Now
the old story is revived, only TO be
denied by the members of the faculty.
The young women will play in public

The union PROJECT IS TABLED.

The Canton township teachers held
their regular monthly meeting at the
office of the towship trustees, Satur-
day forenoon. Nearly every teacher
in the township outside of the city OF
Canton was present. The matter Of
forming a teachers union in Stark
county for the purpose of securing a
uniform wage scale, was taken up and
discussed at some length. The Can
ton township teachers were the first to
propose such an organization, and COM.
mittecs were appointed to correspond
with the teachers organizations in
every township in the county.
A number of letters were written and
the committees all reported that the
sentiment was about equally divided
as to the advisability of organizing.
Many were heartily in favor of it AMI
others were of the opinion that IL
would not result in any good.
The teachers of Perry township gave
rs q reason why they opposed such a
movement, that they were already paid
higher wages than were being paid in
other townships and a universal scale
might result in loss to them, as it is
not anticipated that the prices paid
there could be maintained in all town
ships.
II was decided that until such time
as large majority Of the teachers
should unite in the movement nothing
could be done without manifest in
jury to the promoters, who, 1t is feared
would be marked by school board:
and Disseminated against.
Prof. l.. l.. Delap, township superin
teudent, presided at the meeting. Th'
regular reading course was observei
and a number of questions OF interes
to teachers we're discussed at som
length. An adjournment was taken un
til February %.
