IN THE NAME OF SOUND CITIZENSHIP.

Of the High School Committee against the three teachers Of
the Dc Witt Clinton High School. The Board found these
.hrec public school instructors guilty of holding views subversive Of
discipline and Of undermining good citizenship. 1t therefore dis.
missed them from the service"
That, we believe, is oil that matters from the point of view Of
public interest in the City of New York.
The fact that there was a bitter row in the Board Of Education
before the dismissal was voted is beside the main point. Trying to
impugn the motives of Chairman Whalen Of the High School Com.
mittce and drowning ont tho question of loyalty in a clamor Of recrim-
nation does not alter the fact that the charges were originally based
upon conduct and attitude of mind which only sophistry could ever
attempt to uphold as the kind of positive, 100 per cent. patriotism
that ought to be found in public school teachers.
Fortunately q sufficient number Of members Of the Board Of Ed
ucation kept a clear and undhturbed view of what the incubation of
sound citizenship should really mean in these grave times.

 With the exception of the Thursday morning meeting, all of the morning ses- sions of the biennial will be held at the Tutwiiler. This meeting will be held at the Jefferson theatre. The headquar- ters of the convention will be at the Tut wiler and many of the prominent artists will be registered there A number of

 Civic associations are cooperating with the biennial board to make the conven- ton a success. The Real Estate Ex- change has been asked to take the en- tire membership of the convention for an automobile ride over Birmingham, and a special committee has the matter under consideration.
 The business men evidently realize what such convention as this means to city," said Mrs. Corrie Handley Rice, land they are cooperating with us splen- didly to make it a success. While of course the primary feature of the con vention is musical. there is a business feature attached which no sound mind- ed business man can fail to see.

PRINTERS STRONGLY CONDEMN ACTION OF
 THE TRADES COUNCIL
Typographical Union De- nounces Resolution and Demands RetractiOn at
 First Meeting

Birmingham Typographical union. at it's regular meeting yesterday afternoon, adopted resolutions strongly condemning the action of the Birmingham Trades Council in adopting resolutions, which, in effect, were calculated to divide the forces of capital and labor in the i'm. pending war with Germany.
 The resolutions of the printers union, which were unanimously adopted by a rising vote, express the belief that such sentiments do not correctly represent the views of a majority even of the Birming- ham Trades Council, but rather the nar- row, bigoted and reasonable utterances of handful of anarchists, masquerading under the cloak of socialism, and fur ther calls on the Birmingham Trades Council to rescind its action on penalty of the withdrawal of the local printers from utilization with the central body.
 The resolutions follow:
 Whereas. Publicity having been given series of resolutions purporting to rep resent the views of the Birmingham Trades Council In reference to the na- tional defense in the impending crisis with Germany and which seriously re- fleet upon the patriotism of organized labor in general Birmingham Typograph- ical union herewith publicly expresses the belief that such sentiments do rot cor rectly represent the views of majority even of the Birmingham Trades Council, but rather the narrow, bigoted and trea- sonable utterances of a handful of an- archists masquerading under the cloak of socialism. Therefore, be it
 Resolved, That this union does here with denounce, with all the, vehemence of which the language is capable, the spirit which prompted the drafting and passage of said resolutions as utterly and malciously misrepresenting the views of organized labor and especially of the In- ternational Typographical union, a large percentage of the members of which are veterans of the Spanish-American war and great number of whom are now enrolled in all arms of the national de- fense. And be it further
 Resolved That in the name of Ameri- can citizenship, minus frill, furbelow or hyphen, this union as a component part of the Birmingham Trades Council. calls upon that organization to rescind its ac- ton in adopting the resolution afore- said and to publicly acknowledge same: failure to do which at it's next stated meeting thereby automatically severing our utilization during the period of such failure or refusal. And be 1t further
 Resolved. That copy of these reso- lutions be furnished the local press, with the request that they be published; a copy sent to the President of the United States, the Alabama congressional dele- gation and the governor of Alabama"
