LENIENCY TO LOHR
: A SCHOOL MENACE
Mckinley Teachers Deem
Penalty Far Too Light,
SHOULD LOSE HIS STRAPS
Rumored that Refractory Colonel Is
Supported by Three ofShe Faculty.
II Lohr Wins Out VIII Be a
Dangerous Hero Among Pupils.
Tenchers' Authority Weakened.

CONSERVATION reigned throughout the
faculty of Mckinley Manual Training
School when the announcement was
made by q member of the military COM
mittee of the board of education that
Lenox Lohr, who was given hearing
before that committee last Thursday,
will be allowed to retain his commits
sion as lieutenant colonel in the High
School Cadets despite the recommends
tions of the entire faculty. with three
exceptions, that he be reduced to the
ranks in order to enforce discipline in
the school II the committee makes a
report to the board of education We'd
nesday to that effect, it is probable that
the faculty will demand a hearing.
The three teachers who voted to allow
Lohr to retain his shoulder straps are
Miss Mary Dean, Miss Forbes. and Miss
McColm. II is said that these three
teachers belong to fraternities in the
school, and this fact is supposed to
have influenced them in voting against
the rest of the faculty.
The member of the military commit
tee is announced as saying that the
whole matter was greatly exaggerated
and could have easily been thrashed out
in the principals Office. To refute this
statement, the faculty Quote the rule of
the board of education, which says that
a staff afficer in the High School Cadet
regiment can be deprived Of his rank
only by the action of the board Of edu-
cation. The principal suspended Lohr
until May 5, the date OF the annual
drill.
, Teachers Unsupported.
Il cannot see how the board of edu-
cation hopes to have the faculty enforce
discipline in the school If they disregard
their recommendations and let a young
man in his teens run the school," said
one member of the faculty yesterday.
The faculty of the school have been
working on the case for, some months
and they were in touch with every
phase OF the situation. When the climax
was reached by Lohr trying to postpone
a play because 1t confiicted with a frater-
nifty dance and threatened to use force
II his demands were not acceded to, we
did not deem II necessary that he should
have a hearing. We knew all the facts
in the case and 1t was not necessary to
give him hearing.
The entire faculty is disappointed by
the published statepent Of one of the
members of the committee, who said
that Lohr would not be reduced to the
ranks. and II he is allowed to come out
of the hearing victorious 1t will make
him a hero among the students In the
school and II will be harder than ever to
enforce discipline. II every student in
the school were to become a hero by
openly defying the rules and regulations
of the school fear that discipline in the
Mckinley Manual Training will be Who'll
ly destroyed in a short time"
Superintendent A. T. Stuart said yester.
day that he did not care to be quoted
on the matter until the committee re-
ported to the board.
