The opportunity of public school teach

public supply was discussed at length
by Representative Redfield of the House
District committee and Harry O. Hine.
secretary of the board of education. in a
hearing before subcommittee today,

Representative Redfeid established very

Franks Are Suggested.

Mr.. Hine talked at length about franks
He said the legal fraternity had long ago
decided the District is not entitled to one
and also that 1t would seem to him to be
easier to tempt a person to use a frank
wrongfuliy than to misuse a stamp.
MIR Redfield wanted to know something
about the forty-five people in the school
system who are entitled to make requisi-
ton for stamps. After considerab BILE
sparring back and forth Mr.. Hine made a
sweeping defence of everybody and said
Il don't see how any one can be care
less of stamps when every one knows the
stamps in the schools are for public use
and not for private use.
Many teachers, too. are inclined TO use
their own money for stamps rather than
wait for the stamps furnished from my
office
Well said Mr.. Redfeld, isn't that an
evidence that there is something wrong
in this stamp business
Teachers Buy Stamps.
No replied the secretary of the
board; If a teacher wants to save her
time and energy ny spending her own :
cents can't see why she should wait for
stamps.
Does 2 large percentage Of teachers
follow this plan?''
Il oont know
Are YOU certain there are not a num-
her OF teachers who follow the other plan
and who are doing the opposite thing

Mr.. Hines denial of such a possibility
was almost explosive.

pairs, an employe of :.se office of Snow

asked TO say something about the old

field had statement showing that
the cost of repairing or caring for fur

Why should it cost twenty times as
