Facetious Brakeman Plays Joke on Academy PupiIs-D. A. R. Chapter Invited to the GriswcId Luncheon.

The Norwich Free academy pupils who go down on the 8.09 trolley, every day, have got it in for one of the brakemen on a freight, which was near the station one day this week. He is a young man who formerly lived here and he thought he would play a joke on the pupils, and he did it with good results. He had whistle the sound of which exactly resembled the trolley whistle and at eight o'clock he blew .that deceptive article with great vigor Results followed with lightning rapidity. From every direc- ton the pupils "beat it" for the sta tion, leaving a trail of books buttons and hairpins in their wake, everybody sure the clocks were slow. When they raced into the station all out of breath and in a highly dishevelled state of body and confusion of mind, all they saw was a brakeman disap- kill hinseIf-tf1e only one who seemed to appreciate the joke.

President Of New York Board Of

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-f a married
woman school teacher In the city OF
New York becomes a mother, necessi.
tating her prolonged absence, she is
automatically dropped. charges of neg
lect of duty being brought against her.
This is made clear today by Thomas
w. Churchill. the recently elected presi-
dent Of the Board of Education. The
New York City Federation of Women's S
Clubs interested itself In the case of an
Erasmus High School teacher, who Is
shortly to become a mother and was
refused a years leave of absence. The
club adopted q resolution to be sent to
the board Of education, stating that
they considered this action contrary to
her happiness as an individual and to
the public welfare"
Mr.. Churchill said that in all such
cases In the elementary grades where
teachers have of necessity absented
themselves they have been dropped. I'm
til this recent case no high school
teacher has asked for such q favor. The
supreme court has held that married
woman can teach. But Mr.. Churchill
said he believed I'm the old rule that
husband should support his wife.
However. the president. said II a
teacher should apply for a years leave
of absence, claiming she wished to
study. and during her absence a child
was born, the board of education would
have no legal power to dismiss her.
But IL the facts OF the case were
known. the woman absenting herself
merely during the birth and nursing Of
her child, would be dropped
