WANT SCHOOL TEACHER
ON EDUCATION BOARD
High School Pedagogues Urge Repre-
sentation on Council.

Appointment of an active public school
teacher as a member of the Board Of
Education was urged by the High School
Teachers Union in a resolution adopted
at a meeting yesterday afternoon. 1t
was explained that this system is en-
ployed in other cities and that the bene-
hts from having on the board a person
IN actual daily touch with the school
mechanism would be numerous.
A resolution introduced by L. v. Lamp
son, one of the officers Of the union,
was adopted, condemning the recent ac-
ton Of the Chicago Board OF Education
in discharging about fifty teachers with
out hearing and apparently for no other
reason than that they had Joined a
school teachers union.
Roy c. Claim, president Of the local
teachers union, presided and submitted
the report of the executive committee.
Other chairmen who delivered reports
were william J. Wallis, legislative COM
mittee: Miss Genevieve Marsh, member
ship committee, and l. V. Lampson,
committee of delegates to the Central

the jelly is not nearly as good in color

Spiced grapes make another way of

BAD HOUSING CAUSES MISERY
New York Tenement Expert Describes
Evil Conditions-IiVing in Small
Place Best After All.

The three great scOurges of man
kind, disease, poverty and crime, are
largely due to bad housing, accord
Ing to John J. Murphy. New York's
tenement house commissioner, whose
official task It Is to study and remedy
as far as possible improper housing
conditions in New York city. Mr..
Murphy, who is the only tenement
house commissioner in the United
States. recently had published an ar
ticle on housing conditions, based on
his Investigations IN large centers of
population in which he said:
There can be no question that the
three great scourges Of mankind, dis
ease, poverty and crime, are in large
measure due to bad housing, in its
broadcast sense. incompetence in many
Of its most repugnant forms may be
traced to the fact that so many citi-
zens are Obliged to live In homes in
which they can take neither pride nor
comfort and which make the saloon
seem desirable by contrast.
Pad housing is especially detri-
mental in its consequences to the chill
dred reared under its influence. In
many cases the evil influences of en-
yironment can never be eradicated.
The aeed for the erection Of institu-
tons for the blind and hospitals for
the child victims of tuberculosis, spinal
meningitis and other diseases of like
character is greatly intensified by bad
home conditions. The employee liv-
ing in house inadequately lighted and
ventilated is unable to perform his
task with proper energy and intelli-
gence. Women compelled to live in
such houses develop tendencies to irri-
liability, which frequently lead to fam
lily disruption.
bad housing tends to increase the
tax burdens Of community by requir-
ing larger expenditures for remedial
service, which might otherwise be elm
mated. The lack of proper cleanliness
and decency in the exterior and inte-
rier Of houses tends to reduce the self
respect of the occupants. Note how
eagerly the family which has even
slightly improved its financial stand
ing seeks buildings with more attrac-
tive exteriors and better decorated
rooms. 1t Will also be found that as
families descend in the social scale
one of the pangs most keenly felt is
the necessity for the occupancy of
quarters in buildings whose general APP
pearance indicates that they are oecu-
pied by the miserably poor
