Married Women Teachers

last night took action approving the
course Of the board of education in en-
forcing rule AS" which automatically
expels from the District school service

Kidder's Hall, DIR. NJ. F. Finley spoke
in support of the board of education,
declaring that as rule As" had, in his
opinion, worked well for the past If
teen years. he sees no reason why 1t
should be repealed at this time.
The consensus of opinion of those

to sacrifice positions in the schools for
the benefit of young normal school
graduates who are always seeking en-
ployment as teachers.

LOCAL MENTION.
The Magnate

The magnate, in these modern
DAYS, is but a timid, nervous
wretch; he trembling goes his
destined ways, as though pursued
by old Jack Ketch. The legisla-
lures of the west have robbed him
of his cherished goat, and in the
east he has no rest-reformers
have him by the throat If you
would rise in politics, the way is
easy, smooth and broad just slug
the magnate with some bricks,
and all the Peepul will applaud.
Investigate him every day, and
harry him by methods raw, and
make him fool his wealth away,
with foolish suits in courts Of
law. Appoint dozen crazy
boards" to hamper and restrict
his biz; no sympathy the world
affords to him or anything OF
his. It's safe the magnate to
abuse, to Willy and bullyrag, and
then the Peepul will enthuse, and
say you've saved your country's
flag. Aud so the magnate sinks
along, with none to cheer him or
defend, the man who's always in
the wrong, who seeks in vain to
find a friend. You ask what is
the magnate's crime, that every
cudgel on him breaks? He made
this nation great, sublime, and so
we hate him worse than snakes.

DECIDES TO POSTPONE
UNIVERSITY Project
National Board, D. A. B., Abandons
Consideration for the Present.
Committees Appointed.

Following an all-day session yester-
day. the national board of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution de-
cided to abandon, at least for the time
being, the project for the establish
ment of national university.
Tender had been made, .conditionally.
of the old home of John Paul Jones, in
North Carolina, as a site for the pro-
posed university. Differences of opin-
ion as to the suitability of the estate
for such use, and desire on the part of
several members of the board to ac-
quire the Jones estate for preservation
as a historic site, resulted in the re-
lection of the offer, the stand being
taken that the many financial obliga-
lions of the society. especially the large
sum involved in the purchase of ground
in the rear of the present building and
the remaining debt on Memorial Cont
mental Hall, rendered the mourning of
further obligations extremely inadvis-
able. A vote of thanks was extended
by the board to the state government
of North Carolina, through which the
tender of the estate was made.
