TEACHERS WIN MERIT AND
TENURE RIGHTS-MAYOR
GAINS POWER.

The Chicago Teachers Federation
is winner in its attempt to get
state law forbidding wholesale, car
like dismissals of teachers, without
notice or trial. The IgOe bill, passing
the house at Springfield yesterday by
vote of 10 to 8, will if enforced act
to prohibit the sort of action taken
by School Board Pres. Jake Loeb,
who wrecked civil service in the pub
lie school system by dropping SO
teachers last year, most of them
Teachers Federation members and
officers.
Mayor ThOmpsOn's power over the
public school system of Chicago is
stretched a long ways through the
passage of the Baldwin bill. Instead
Of q members, the school board will
have only II, these to be appointed
Dy the mayor. With the authority
now lodged in Mayor ThOmpson's
hands, he practically has the running
of the school board until 1922. Terms
of office of. each school board mem
Der is fixed at five years.
Sales of public school land must
be approved by two-thirds of the
board and by three-fourths of the
CITY council. The Jake Loeb infiu-
ence pressed hard for shutting off
city council control over school land
sales. It's chief spokesman was Al
fred Urion, head of the Armour &
Co. law department and former
school trustee. The so-called Chi
cago Public School league" lob
bving arm of the Illinois Manufacture
ers' assn, and Armour interests who
want school land at Clearing for the
use of the Armour Belt Line had
their operations conducted by John
LOvett.
Margaret Haley, Ida L. Fursman,
Nano T. Hickey and Mary Dryer
we're among Teachers Federation
officers who IObbied for the Igoe bill.

to year for a probationary period Of
three years. Before and at the ex-
piration of this period any teacher
may be discharged by the sUperin-
tendent on giving written reasons to
the board.
After the probationary period no
teacher may be dismissed without
trial. Written charges must be filed
thirty days before date of suspen-
sion. After such procedure the
school board may pass on the deci-
sion arrived at in the trial and such
decision of the board is final.
In the dismissal of IS teachers last
June there was neither trial, nor no
tice, nor written nor spoken charges.
About the only basis for the action
given by Jake Loeb was that the
women dismissed were inefficient"
''nsubOrdinate, or mentally I'M
sound" Supt Shoop rated 40 of the
dismissed teachers as efficient"
excellent" or good" Under the
lgoe law Jake LOeb's personal whims
would not prevail over the supposed
expert rating of SUp't ShOOp.
