Want BYLAW Repealed.

The committee on married women
teachers has sent the following COM
munication TO Mr.. Churchill:
1--WE urge the repeal of the bylaw OF
the Board OF Education which prohibits
the appointment OF married women as
teachers (unless their husbands are in
capable of earning living or have de-
serted them for not less than a year,
because We believe that il is an injury
TO women, 10 the schools and 10 the
community; and we ask that the ap-
pointment of women as teachers be de-
termined by efficiency and not by CELL
bacy."
The letter is signed by Mrs. Marion
B. Cothren, Mrs. Rhets Childe Dorr.
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Mrs.
Marie Jenney Howe, Mrs. Alice Due
Miller, Mrs. Nina Wilcox Putnam, Mrs.
Ogden Mills Reid and Mrs. Norman de

PUBLICITY SEEMS
TO WORK TWO WAYS
1t RObs Teacher-Mothers of Po-
sitiOns and Fear of 1t
Silences Some Men.
BY HENRIETTA RODMAN.

The most noteworthy attempt that
the city has made to give young peo-
pie not training for college, but train
ing FOR real LIE as the boys and girls
will live it in factories, Offices and
shops, is now under way, according TO
BENJAMIN c. Gutenberg, secretary of
the New York Association for Vocs-
tionsl Guidance.
1.-Two OF the greatest educators In
the country-Dean Schneider, of the
University OF Cincinnati, and William
Writ, Of Gary, Tnd.-have been brought
here to help in the reorganization Of
the schools said Mr.. Gutenberg.
II hear that Mr.. Writ has been put
under the direction OF a member OF
the Board OF Superintendent who is
not in sympathy with his work and has
hampered 1t in various ways, with a
consequent waste Of the city's money"
I said but Mr.. Gutenberg didn't know
about that.
II know more OF Dean Schneider's
work" he said. "He takes young peo-
pie at about sixteen when they are
ready 10 go to work or to technical
school"
What Dean Schneider Does.
OF course, no school can reproduce
the exact conditions OF an Office or
factory. There's no doubt that the
best place to learn to work is in a
workshop. But, on the other hand, no
industry or business can be conducted
efficiently il skilled workmen have to
use their time in teaching the I'M
skilled.
Dean Schneider's plan is this: A boy
or girl spends one week in school and
the next in a factory or shop. Then
back TO the school, and so on for two
or three years.
The young people work in pairs One
OF the partters is always in the shop
VIM the other is in the schC i. The
employer is simply employing two boys
to fill the place of one. Each is earn
ing half the regular wage, and each is
spending three days week in school.
Here he ,tudies the theory of his
snOp "OTh. An instructor goes Wltn
the boys from the school TO the factory
and supervises and teaches them there.
He learns in this way just what is re-
quired Of them and is able to help them
to meet their difficulties in the best
wa.
eve have one group of high school
boys now at work in a machine shop;
another group in the drafting depart
ment of a large factory" said Mr..
Gutenberg. I'VE have several groups
OF girls in the Offices Of publishing and
mail order houses"
Query: Are these boys and girls
being taught the facts OF industry that
ever" child should know, including such
TO les as the prevailing rates of wages,
hours Of labor, sanitary conditions,
workmens compensation, unemploy-
ment, and what is being done by states
and by organizations of workmen to
better the conditions of labor? I'll find
out and let you know.
Dean Schneider will speak on Tues
day evening at the High School of
Commerce, l55 West SiXty-ffth Street,
at 8 o'clock. All who are interested in
one of the most important experiments
the city has ever tried are invited to
attend.

will pay the other $4,000.
Senator Helner chairman Of the
