RULE 45 MAY YET Be

stand by its action at It's last meet
ing in declining to reinstate Mrs. Carl
Hellman, who was married last July.
But it's action in that particular case
did not indicate that it was to continue
to uphold Rule 45'' as its permanent
policy.
This is the gist of the married-teachcr
situation. as Indicated ny prominent
members of the board Even those
members of the board who had declared
the rule ostensibly barring teachers
who marry from further service archaic,
acquiesccd in the ruling in the case of
i Mrs Hellman. Several did this, it was
said, through loyalty TO Henry p. Blair,
president of the board, because the
Hcllman case promised to create a d-
vision in the board
Tow women members OF the board,
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes. and Mrs Edith
Kingman Kern, who had previously de-
clared their opposition to any rule bar
ring married women teachers from the
schools, today made their first state
ments regarding their acquisition in the
adverse ruling in Mrs. IIellman's case.
0du TIE case ulueT as
chairman of the elementary schools
committee before it was passed along
to the rules committee" said Mrs.
Rhodes; and. though I am opposed to
any discrimination against married
teachers. I felt compelled to recommend
an adverse report upon Mrs. Hellman's S
application for reinstatement, because
the boards rule was in effect when she
married, and it was only in the interest
of law and order to enforce the rule in
her case.
II do not consider the married teacher
problem settled because of the specific
action in Mrs. Hellmans case, and l dc
not understand that the board meant
that decision to settle for all time its
general policy regarding married WON

Mrs. Kern reaftirmed her previou!

LONDON, March There was little
OLD woman of French nationality, whose
shot-rddled little cottage was about
mile behind our trenches.
She had huge supply of cider. and
when one of us got money and 3 chance
we would sneak through the trenches
back to her little house, knock on the
battered window until she opened II
and handed out big cup full of apple
juice.
"My good old husband" as she de-
scribed him, was killed in the cottage
by a German bullet" We buried the
body for her and asked her why she
didn't move.
NO, No" she exclaimed, this is my
home and IL l die anywhere, die here.
Saw Blinking Light.
One nipht we saw three little nickera
of light come from a chink Of the shut
tered window On a hill, far away, In
the German lines, we saw q tiny light
blink three times. For three nights we
watched the sparkling chink in tho

And when he was caught in the act,
he kept silence like a man. Our Of

Demeille was very cool about it, but
he knew that his end had come. He
was taken away and sentenced to death
by court martial. Luckily, The firing
squad was not chosen from among The

him before us, as an example. He kept
his head high and seemed satisfied with
what he had done for his country. Then
they took him away somewhere TO die.
