Having thus, in a word, revealed
his ambition for a career above
courts, marts and polling booths,
George breathed more deeply than
usual, and, turning his face from
the lovely companion whom he had
just made his confidant, gazed out at
the dancers with an expression in
which there was both sternness and a
contempt for the squalid lives Of the
"unyachted Midlanders before him.
However, among them he markt4 his
mother, and his somber grandeur re-
Taxed m~omentarily; a more genial
light came into his eyes.
Isabel was dancing with the queer
looking duck; and it was to be noted
that the lively gentleman's gait was

with bitterness, and he made a ges-

the business and professional men

URGE OPEN MEETINGS
Resolution Adopted Asking That
Beard Of Education
Admit Public

The Central Labor Union of Wash
ington in open meeting last night
asked that the Board of Education
of the District in future hold sas-
sicns open to the public.
This was advocated in a resolC-
tion proposed and unanimously pas
sed by more than 100 delegates OF
the trade unions of Washington at
the meeting held last night at 1OG6
E street northwest.
Objection was made to the suspen-
sion of Miss Alice Wood, teacher at
Western High School, for the period
Of che week without pay on charges
On which she was not granted hear
ing as provided by law with counsel
present.
The refusal Of the beard thus far
to grant the request of the High
School and Grade Teachers Union
for public hearing as requested
and to divulge the names OF those
who voted for the suspension of Miss
Wood, as requested by the Federal
Employees Association, was one OF
the issues of the resolution.
The resolution, which is TO be sub
mitted to the Board of Education,
demands a public hearing for Miss
Wood and also that the request OF
the High School and Grade Teach
crs' Union for hearing on their
letter sent to the Board of Educa-
ton be granted.
At the meeting last night the en-
tire organization pledged themselves
to support the BARRIERS Union of the
city in their effort to obtain shorter
hours of work.
