wide open, with, always, canny eye
to leeward in case some inquisitive
Investigator should drop in on them.
But they are not being closed and
there is no evidence that property
owners are causing the eviction of
such tenants as are using rented
property for prostitution.
All of which is entirely beside the
question as to what good it will do
to drive unfortunate women out in
to the street and leave them more
helpless than they are.

And now the Gar of all the Rus
sias has also taken to looking under
the bed every night. For an anar-
chist or bomb? No, for woman.
The women of Russia are beginning
to rise for equal rights. ''Rise" is
the correct word, for the Russian
woman is so supine that rising is her
only possible movement.
Not long ago, the Gar discovered,
through his expert secret police or
his trusty bloodhounds, that some
Russian women had actually organ
lied the League of Equal Rights and
set date for congress. Nicholas
called on his Minister of the Interior,
with his lovely beard shaking with
rage, and asked him what in thun-
der he meant by permitting such
rising to rise. The minister got busy
and has just officially prohibited that
congress to assemble. But this is
not all In addition, he has deemed
it safer to also prohibit the congress
of the higher elementary teachers.
Pretty tough, when they can't risk
even the teachers getting together,
isn't it?
And how Internally foolish the pol
icy of suppression when folks, es-
pecially women folks, hunger for
freedom! We would like to pass
around a hat for the card of any gen
tleman who has seen rising woman,
individually or collectively, put down
by prohibition. The Car has en-

MOTHER TEACHER
|. QUESTION SETTLED
Instructor in Bruce ST. School
Resigns and Ends Boards
Problem.

By reason nf circumstances sur
rounding the case, members of the
Board OF Education at their meeting
were not obliged TO determine if teach
ers about TO become mothers may re-
main away from school For some
time the question has beer before the
mem bers of the board in an unofficial
way. and last nightyit was thought
likely thai the matter would be
broacbed. The case had to do with a
married teacher WHO is about to be-
come mother. Several months ago
the teacher in question. who was in
the Bruce Street school. asked the
board for leave OF absence. The
application was accompanied by a
doctors certificate. which, in general
terms. set forth that the applicant
needed rest. The board insisted on
more specific reasons and when these
were not Forthcoming, action on the
application was deferred.
Yesterday, the cause of the teach
ers remaining away from school be-
came known to persons in the office
of superintendent Poland, but in such
Il way that they could not place it
before the board officially. AS a re-
suit the question was discussed in
the abstract at COMMITTEES meetings.
For the purpose of determining
their power in a matter Of this kind,
the board appealed to its attorney,
Charles NJ Myers asking him if
there was any legal obstacle 10 pre-
vent a mother teacher from teaching.
In his reply. Attorney Myers said
he would rather not give an opinion,
but believed the teachers tenure OF
office act practically put the matter
up to the board to determine Just
causes" for the dismissal of
teacher.
The resignation of the teacher at
last nights meeting ended the ques-
ton so far as this particular case Is
concerned
