Catholic Teachers Reinstated.-
Several months ago an extraordinary
case of bigotry cropped up in the
School Board of the city of Enid,
Oklahoma A young lady teacher was
dismissed because of her Catholicity.
She was given a letter of recommen-
dation by the school superintendent,
and in the letter it was frankly stated
that the only reason for her dismis-
sal was the fact that she was a Cath
Ole. When this was brought to the
attention of the people of Enid it
caused a storm of disapproval and a
rigid investigation was ordered, and
the young lady was reinstated. To
make up for the past wrongs the
School Board also reinstated three
other Catholic teachers who had been
previously discharged for the same Of
Tense.

The "John Barry" inscription
''The Leader" of San Francisco, calls
attention to the inscription which has
been Officially authorized" to appear
in the new monument to Commodore
Barry in Washington. The statute is
to be dedicated some time in May of
this year. The proposed inscription
runs thus:
JOHN BARRY,
Commodore United States Navy,
Born in County Wexford, Ireland
1745.
Died in Philadelphia, 1903
"The Leader" truly remarks that
this inscription by no means does JUS
tice to the immortal Barry. Through
out the nation he is known as the
Father of the American Navy and on
the Washington monument that title
should be inscribed"
