repudiate that anti-social and anti-ra-
csl doctrine that matrimony should

SO spoke John Martin from the floor
Of the Board of Education at its meet
ing yesterday afternoon in supporting
the amendment to the bylaws which
requires that married women in the
service must teach fifteen years before
being eligible for promotion. The
amendment was carried by a vote OF
26 to 9. The women members of the
board voted AYE under protest" their
viewpoint being that no distinction
whatsoever should be made between
married and single women.
The Levy resolution dealing with tho
religious feature Of the Gary plan did
not come up for discussion. This reso-
luton provides that "it is inadvisable
to experiment further with religious
training or education by cooperating
with outside agencies, and that the
Board of superintendent should be di-
rected to modify school programmes
so as to eliminate any religious feature
thereof until further action by the
board"

SAVE RED CROSS,

Asks People to Prevent Curtail-

Its Activities.

President Wilson yesterday appealed
to the American people to save the Red
Cross. To war relief, he declared, the
organization had contributed $1,6O0,00
and now had balance of only $4,000.
"The day is at hand on which we
turn our thoughts toward considers-
tion of the blessings of peace and Sc

peal. Inevitably, the contemplation of
sharply to mind the anguish and loss
burden, upon the bodies and souls of
our neighbors across the seas. Our
country has poured out generously its
sympathy and its means in behalf Of
those who suffer because of the war.
But the harvest of death and desolation
is not ended and our sympathy must
not yet withdraw its hand.
"The American Red Cross, through
whose instrumentality hundreds OF
thousands Of our people have been able
to give substantial expression Of their
pity for those who have fallen under
the stroke of war, is nearing the ex-
haustion of its resources.
ganization, which, more than any 9TH
er, represents the sympathy Of US all,
should be permitted to cease is un-
thinkable. |, therefore, earnestly call
upon the people OF the United States
once again, by their generosity, to as
sure the Red Cross against the curtail-
ment or discontinuance of the large
activities in which it is engaged"

Letter from Member of Parents Asso-

In view Of this situation the follow
ing letter from a member Of the Par
ents' Association of p s. 46, Msnhat-
tan, is of particular interest (this
school is in President Thomas W.
Churchill's district:
Dear Madam: / desire TO call your
attention to Parents Association

AT the time this Parents Associa-
ton WAS organized, objected to q
clause in the constitution which gave
the entire power of running and ruling
the association into the hands OF the
board of directors, which was to con-
sist of nineteen, with seven officers,
making grand total Of twenty-six.
hereby quote certain clauses from the
constitution;
"Article ", Sec. 2-The board
Of directors shall consist Of the officers
ot the association. the principal OF the
school, and seventeen members elected
TO represent the parents who have chill
dren in the various grades OF the
schol. Nine members shall con-
stitute a quorum.
"Article vII-At all meetings Of the
association twenty-one members shall
constitute a quorum"
"Now, you see that twenty-one mem
bers of the twenty-six officers and di-
rectors can rule and carry on the busi-
ness of the association, even though
every member of the Parents Assocla-
tion of this public school belong to the
association. Or, better still, the nine
constituting quorum of the board Of
directors would rule and run the asso-
citation. Up to the present time this is
exactly what has happened. Everything
is done and run by the board OF direc-
tors. .
"Artcle III, Sec. THE parents OF
pupils now in the school, or the parents
of children formerly attending the
school, are eligible to become regular
members OF the association.
"Sec. 2-Friends of the school. other

Opposition Tactics Of Parents Associa-
tiOns.

Opp0BltiOn IactiCs OF Parents AsSOcla-
ti0Rs.
During the last week there has been
a growing realization on the part OF
the public that parents associations in
this city are being used by the oppo-
nents of the Gary plan to create the i'm
preston that there is widespread op-
position to the plan.
As Mr. Howard W. Nudd, OF the Pub
lie Education Association, stated in
Yesterdays Tribune: Carefully pre-
pared meetings are being held in sew
eral sections of the city at which the
opponents of the plan are largely, II not
solely, the only speakers. Inadequate and
in many instances, distorted and gross
" misrepresented explanations are
given. accompanied at times by crude
and unfair personalities. The obvious
nurpose of these onesided meetings Is
to create public prejudice by producing
such confusion and misunderstanding
as would naturally lead any group OF
partially informed people, however
we'll intentioned, to oppose positive ac-
ton regarding any plan that might be
