PAYS COMPLIMENT TO
MARRIED TEACHERS

Discussing the publication in The
Capital yesterday afternoon the appeal
of United States Commissioner of Ed
ucation Claxton, to the States to re-
peal all rulings against the admission
of married women to position as teach
ers in the public and private schools,
Professor George Fox, Superintendent
of Schools in Anne Arundel, con-
Cured heartily in the proposition.
Anne Arundel" said Professor Fox,
has lifted the ban against employ
ment of married women as teachers,
for some time Not only this, but we
have found the plan works most ex-
cellentiy In the past few years, we
have employed many married women
in our. schools and have found that
among them are some of our best edu
Gators today

SCHOOLS TO OPEN ON
NINTH OF SEPTEMBER

Notwithstanding the recent agitation
of the State Council of Defense for an
extension of vacation days, and short
ening of the school year by one month
that volunteer school boy help may
not be taken from the farmers, the
schools of Anne Arundel will open
upon the originally scheduled date.
This is Monday, September 8. The de-
termination not to order an extension
of vacation days was reached by the
State Board of Education at a special
meeting held in Baltimore yesterday.
However, at yesterdays meeting the
decision was reached that school boys
can remain ON the farms where now
employed until October 1st
The Council of Defense had asked
that the time be extended until No
vember 1.
Boys who will lose two weeks or
more win be given opportunities to
make up lost time. This reason for an
absence will count in favor of the
young men.
The length of the extension of the
vacations will depend altogether on
the requirements of the harvest.
A call for about $50 boys was placed
with the United States Boys Working
Reserve yesterday, and Frank B. Calm,
director of the reserve, is taking steps
to meet the request.

DRAFTING WOMEN

Washington announces that thous-
ands of women viii be drawn into
railroad employment within the next
few months to take the place of men
entering the army. They will serve
as clerks, accountants. ticket sellers,
station agents and even as crossing
watchers and track laborers.
This is probably the most extensive
work yet taken up by American women
And there is no doubt they will be eff
cient in every capacity mentioned
They have already proven their worth
with the traction companies in the big
cities an din other callings.
The new course proposed in Wash
ington will not result in the dismissal
of men. In employing considerable
of women, American rail-
roads will be doing what English and
French railways were compelled to do
a long time ago.

HELD NOT IN CONTEMPT
IN HIS DIVORCE TRIAL

Judge William H. Forsythe, sitting
in the Anne Arundel County Circuit
Court yesterday afternoon dismissed a
charge of contempt of court preferred
against Valentine Miller, by his wife,
Annie e. Miller, who brought the ac
ton because of the non-payment of ali
mQny to her which had been ordered
by the late Judge James r. Brashears,
in their divorce proceedings. The ac-
ton for divorce fas brought over a
year ago, and the alimony was ordered
paid pending settlement of that case.
Miller's defense to the charge of con-
tempt in the non-payment of the ali
mony was that his wife had been liv-
ing with another man and was no long
er in need of the income.
Further action in the long pending
divorce proceedings will probably be
had in the local court during the first
week in September.

DO NOT RESTRICT
PUBLIC INFORMATION

without wishing TO be other than
constructfuIly critical. The Star be-
lieves that the government should go
very slow in all measures which might
have a tendency TO restrict the dis
semination OF that information that is
calculated to further progress Of the
government in this war For one
thing. the proposed tax on leased wires
over which news is carried into news
paper Offices, while II may increase
revenues OF the Government, at the
same time il is bound TO operate
against the very purpose for which the
United States is spending more than a
million dollars a year in the mainten-
ance Of the Committee on Public In
formation. II will tend 20 decrease
the number OF small-town newspapers
and IL may be one OF the several CON
siderations 10 force the price OF me
tropoiitan papers up 70 such a price
that many thousands Of persons will
be unable 10 buy papers with the reg
ulariiy needed il the various propa-
gandas are to be successfully carried
out.
The newspapers and magazines (the
latter being the medium through
which much propaganda work is being
done that could not we'll be done by
daily newspapers like all other en-
terprises, are facing the grave prob
lem Of mounting costs. Many hun
dreds OF small country newspapers,
probably 1900 have been forced to
discontinue publication because of
their inability to cope with the prob
lem Of costs. The price OF many Sun
day newspapers have mounted to as
high as seven cents. and in a few cases
TO ten cents, and in many quarters it
is predicted that 1t is only a question
Of time when the publishers generally
will have to get ten cents copy for
Sunday papers or cease publishing
them. Many daily papers have also
been forced 10 increase prices. To sad
die the greatest channel of public in
formation with the added burden of
heavy leased wire tax may prove a
penny-wise and pound-foolish policy.
The passage OF the zone circulation
measure. hard as Il hit the magazines.
hit the country newspaper readers
harder. The country people, in many
communities. are now forced TO de
pend on the papers Of the nearest city
for their nformation-informat
calculated to keep up the morale of the
american people in this stressful time.
If the price of the papers have to be
increased by raised postal rates or
other tax this large portion of the
population yin be denied all chances
of gaining information as to what
should and must be done by citizens
TO aid In war work
As matters stand now in the cities,
the poorer classes-the very people
who most of all need to be kept in
formed of what this country is doing
will also be deprived of their sources
of information, unless they can pay
two. three or even Eve cetns a copy,
for it costs continue TO mount, prices
also will so up. Our advice TO the gov
eminent is not TO choke the channels
of Intelligence, but by removing restric-
tive measures make ii easy for the
public 10 learn what is happening
