SCHOOL TEACHERS , QUEER LETTERS ! Ienbef of Old School Board has Received
 Appeal
Superintendent Phiibrook Is Ind

Superintendent Philbrook is not the
 nly one who has received amusing
 nd ridiculous letters from lady school exaachers asking for positions. Some irsf these letters are hardly an applica- veGn: they real more like a confession.
 fir. Hammer. one of the old board
 school trustees, received a letter nfom lady who wanted a position in thhe schools here but she was clever hisnough to keep this point hidden,
 nd tell about everything else she
 new. She claims to have had eight Iefesrs experience at teaching. The wftter. in part, follows:
 ns "Mr. Hammer. Bisbee, Ariz.
 tn Dear Sir:-I am sorry 1 am not ju.ne of your teachers. am coming
 you with very sorrowful story
 fnd hope your kind heart will prompt
 Ioa to lend an attentive ear.
 uu Firstly: When in the course Of in Lman events. woman decides to re th.ounce the bonds of the high and mo- foSle calling of teaching to take unto a erseif the pleasurable experiences ofnd soulthrilling adventures in the
 matrimonial field, can you judge her
 arshly? II such an offer so irresista- ally tempting. influences her to re- ofign her position as teacher, can you haaide her for throwing up an uncer- foainty for life of long business on lei paying basise No. a thousand times Tlo. Not even if it costs you a world Inf inconyennences and annoyances.
 aI Secondly: The grim monster, death, pitalks about the town. His sickle is
 cen. Hereaps the bearded grain at breath and the flowers that grow ' tcetween. He enters the brotherhood kf Teachers. He lays low an honored
 lead. Still the world moves on; Che death of mighty saviour may for inn instant clog the powerful machin- pTy but the next moment the wheels sag as gaily as ever.
