Germantown. when Whiting and Kolb, of
Episcopal. brought home their matches over
Clement and Beard, of Germantown.
The match between Beard and Kolb, who
seems to be a find for Episcopal brought
out the best tennis of the day, Beard vol
leyed beautifully but was erratic on his
service and back court, while 1iolb missed
very few from the base line. Smith again

Harper was fine overhead, showing that

Graft Settles Very
Vexing Situation

Superintendent Graft OF public schools
believes he has put a auietus on tho
resignation of teachers in the First b
room OF Howard Kennedy school. Dan
Cupid has been so busy in this room for
several years that the teachers have
marked the place as infected by the
matrimonial bug: AS soon as a teacher
would become acquainted with the pupils
she would announce her resignation for
the reason that she had taken to herself
a husband. These interruptions disturbed
the esprit du corp of the teaching staff.
The situation became so pronounced that
the superintendent placed a married
teacher in the room.
Last year helen Rossen had the room
and she resigned to be married. she
was succeeded by Beulah Hunter who
recently left the service on account of
marriage. Helvye Olson was at the time
of the resignation of Miss Hunter a
teacher of the Howard Kennedy school.
She married a Mr.. Weaver and then
Superintendent Graft had happy
thought. He just placed Mrs. Olson
Weaver in this room and now believes
he has settled this vexatious problem.
