After he had gained back his
strength he wrote:
"I thought I would let you know
how I was benefited by Mayr's Won

ago. 1t did all that you claimed it
would do. I was so bad that the doc

an operation, but did not have one

one now. I have felt no signs of gall

A few moments before Pres. Jake
Loeb of the school board called last.
Wednesdays meeting to order, at
which the question of reinstating the
ousted school teachers was discussed,
he was handed a letter from the
widow of the late Charles c. Ffrench.
The letter thanked the school board
for their kindness in her sorrow and
concluded as follows:
''My husband was profoundly in
terested in the work of the school
board. It was his great hope that
eventually there would come a bet-
ter understanding between the board ;
and that splendid body of workers,
the public school teachers Of Chi
cago."

did not read the letter from the
widow of his late associate. French
was against the operation of the
Loeb rule. He sympathized with eff
fcient school teachers who we're
dropped because they wouldn't go
along with Jake" The teachers ex-
press the suspicion that Jake didn't
read the letter through fear of its
effect on the school board.
