MORAL SUASI0N
 CHARGES CRIEvE
 SUPERINTENDENT

Superintendent of Schools Samuel Slawson intends to thoroughly invesd- gate the charges which were made by Commissioner William Bell regarding the conduct of public school teachers toward pupils who failed to buy War Savings Stamp. At the Board of Edu- cation meeting on Monday night Com missioner Bell said that pupils were held up to ridicule when they could not bring money to purchase stamps and in some cases their names were written on the blackboard in the class rooms.
 If this were a personal charge" said MT. Slawson, "I would be tempt ed to overlook 1t, but as it is it is a reflection on my teachers and I in tend to place the responsibility if there is any. We especially warned the principals regarding this matter when the sales were begun, and they gave explicit direction to teachers not to single out any child for reprimands if no purchase was made. If any teacher acted in this unfair manner it must have been in a spirit of rivalry and showed very poor judgment"
 Principals and teachers are very in dignant at the statements which ap- peared in yesterdays papers concern ing the conduct of teachers in the sale of stamps. Principals claim that if any pupil was humiliated because of inability to buy stamps, it was with out their permission, and was done without their knowledge.
 MT. Slawson will make an investi- gation of the matter, and will en- deavor to disprove the charge aganist the teachers.

 IS DISAPPOINTMENT

Hartford. Conn.,, Feb. 12. Miss Katherine Ludington, president or the Connecticut Woman Suffrage As- sociation. said yesterday, concerning the adverse vote In the United States Senate Monday: The defeat of the suffrage amendment by one vote is like all other so-called 'defeate'- simply another postponement. The Connecticut Suffrage Association is already prepared with an alternative program of state suffrage and it's campaign Is well started to secure passage by the legislature.
 The fact that one reactionary vote in the United States senate can block the trend of public opinion has reused our women to such indigna- ton as they have never felt before. Connecticut will see the effects of 1t in the next year"
