Be UNDER CIVIL SERVICE
School Teachers Included in Rec.
ommendation to Joint Com
mission,

Placing of all District employees. in
| Guiding local public school teachers,
| under the Civil Service Commission
has been recommended to the joint
! congressional commission on reclassi-
fication of salaries in the District.
No action has been taken by the
commission on the recommendation.
Wide expansion of the personnel
and duties of the Civil Service Com
mission has been urged in various
reports to the reclassificationists. and
embracing employees of the Dis
trict government, including the school
teachers, seems to many only log
cial following-up of other recon-
mendations.
Under the proposed plan the Civil
Service Commission would handle ex-
aminations for those who want to
qualify for teaching positions in the
District the same as it handles eX-
! amina tons for those who want to
teach in the Philippines. All other
employees of the District government
would simply come under the juris-
diction of the Civil Service Commits
sion.
Any effort to have the Redistribution
commission. place the school teachers of
the District under the United States
civil service will be opposed by the
teachers. Miss Alice Deal, president
of the High Schco' Teachers Union, de-
clared today. Miss Deai said she be-
leved the teachers ia end out of the
union would oppose sub a move.
Miss Deal said tie teachers prefer
the present system, under which they
are appointed after qualifying before
committee named by the board of edu-
cation.
1t is understood that the advisory
committee on employment policy is
making the recommendation for this
change to the Redistribution commits
sion.
The teachers and school officials will
present their views to the commission
Saturday as to how salaries and posi-
tons in the school system should be re-
classified

At that time he did not have and regular strain of the fancy. the only letter of introduction required of stag being rapid fight ing and gameness.
 One night last winter after he had fought a main with a Boston expert and won six of the seven disputes, he told the party of the first one in which he took part. The battle was staged and the birds fitted On the afternoon of the great day they were ca-efully locked in a box stall at the race track ready to be taken to the place selected as soon as those who were in returned from dinner. No one was left on guard, it not being considered necessary as everyone in New Hampshire is honest. When they returned however, the stall door was open and all of the birds gone. For time they were of the opinion that the folks who had the other end of the match were responsible, but when they arrived al the pit and ex- that they did not rob the coop.
 Vowine vengeance. Cox started on a still hunt. Nothing developed for over a week. when one night he was

Infuriated by what he heard, Cox dashed into the shed and said he would kill every one of them if they did not make good what he lost on the main and also pay for the birds.
