Her Suspension. Miss Wood Says,
Was Not Based Upon Such Grounds

To the Editor of The star
Since an article in The Star Of
March 90 bears heading contrary to
fact and highly defamatory to my
character. l beg that you will make
a correction.
The official notice of my suspension
without pay reached me March 20.
and reads as follows:

ing of the board Of education held on
Wednesday. March ls. the report of
the informal committee which con-
sidered with YOU certain charges con-
cernine yoIr handling of economic
questions wss presented 10 the board
and the following action was taken.
Resolved. That Miss Alice Wood be
suspended. without pay. for period
of one week. commencing March 20
The board took This action because OF
your attempt to touch on and inter
pret certain economic ard social sub
Jects in which you were clearly am
amateur and in which you revea led
indtscretion and poor judgment IN as
Suming to he anything else.
The question of my patriotism is not
touched upon in the notice OF the
boards action. My attempt to touch
on ana interpret certain economic and
social subjects" was following tn"
program laid down by the English
depa rtment. which requires the study
/ of current events in English classes.

as unpatriotic in a headline in The

MAR-HUMAN animal
ACTIONS PICTURED
DR.. Ditmars Shows Geographic So.
ciety Funny Bugs, Belligerent
Snakes, Emotional Monkeys.

Though the monkey generally gets
credit for being the Charlie Chaplin
of the animal kingdom, Mr.. Bug can
offer some side-splitting exhibitions If
one magnifes his postage stamp stage
sufficiently for the human eye to take
in the details.
This fact was demonstrated in the
animal pictures shown by DIR. Ray
mond L. Ditmars. curator OF snakes
of the New York Zoo, who lectured
before the National Geographic Socie-
ty members yesterday afternoon and
last evening.
Snakes are the dandies of the animal
kingdom, and war or no war. the
speaker said, snake must have his
new skin-itting SUIT when the proper
season rolls around. The India cobra
easily qualified as the villain OF the
performance. but the mongoose hero
won the day in thrilling mouth-to-
skin encounter in which the deadly
snake sought in vain to poison the
lightnins-like opponent before the
quick-moving little animal broke the
snakes back.
