 FAIR PLAY FOR
 MANY TEACHERS
Agitation For Less Precipi- tate of Action Brings
 About New Plan.

As a result of the meeting of the board of education at which stormy protest was made at the suddenness with which the marking system for teachers was sprung and the failure of the board to give the teachers who were deficient in any line, a chance to improve, an opportunity will be given teachers in danger of losing their increases next year, to obviate this misfortune.
 It has been learned that since the board of education meeting a plan has been evolved whereby teachers may be warned. In consequence, those teachers whose averages are just suffl- cient to obtain their increases, but who were adjudged not satisfactory in any subject, have received written notices that they will have to irn- prove Accompanying the notif1ca- ton that they would have to sign heir contracts before June IA, were slips of paper bearing the names of the parts of the teaching duties in which they are deficient and in which they will have to improve. before they will receive their natural in- crease.
 Little publicity has been given the action in the schools, because the teachers who received the slips of pa- per didn't~care to talk about them.
 The action of the board is one of the few in connection with the merit systm, of which the teachers approve It is said they feel as if they ought to congratulate the board members for taking this action, as it affords those teachers in danger a chance to be- come proficient in the lines they are lacking in now.
 The boards action follows the agi- tation begun at the meeting to 'give the teachers a fair show Some of the members protested they should have been given 8 chance to improve before losing their salaries The new plan is the fruit of this protest.

GRAPHOPHONE GIRLS IN COURT TO HEAR
 POWELL DIVORCE

"Furthermore, I wouldn't be up here if I paid $500 as you suggested" sobbed Margaret Helen Powell in the superior court this morning, as she looked at Attorney Abe s. Gedu1dig. The 20-year-old member of the American Graphophone Co. office force was testifying in her divorce suit against James F. Powell of this city Mrs Powell then went on to say that Attorney Geduldig told her if she paid $6 a week the case would be all right. Attorney Geduldig made no reply to these accusations.
 Mrs. Powell, who is very pretty, was becon1ingIy dressed in blue and wore a tam o'shanter tilted at a girl isf1 angle She frequently burst into tears as she denied the accusations made by her husband. A number of girls employed in the Grapho- phone Go. office were in court as wit nesses or spectators.
 Powell's version of the case was en- tirely different from his wife's. He said they went to New York August 19, 1913, and while in an ice cream par Tor he said, Well, shall we get mar ried?" Let me think a minute,'' she replied Then she said, ttYes, I'll mar ry you.''
 The young husband blamed their marital trouble on his wife's fondness for dances. He said they frequently had disputes because she went to dances and stayed late. Powell de- nied the statement that he had taken Mrs. Powell by the throat and told her that unless she married him he would tell about their relations. Powell says he still likes his wife and although he has asked her to live with him she re- fused. They separated last Septem- Der. Mrs. Powe1Ts maiden name was Margaret Manz:
