SCHOO[BOARO
FACES PLIGHT
Senate Committees Stand and
Popular Opinion May Force
Thurston's Retention.

Failure OF Congress TO pass one OF
the deficiency bills carrying a rider
providing for the abolishment OF the
present Board OF Education and au-
thority for the President to appoint q
new board may lessen the chances OF
Ernest L. Tburston remaining after
June 30 as Superintendent OF Public
Schools.
Can John Vain Schaick, president
or the Board or Education, md an
educator who will accept the superb
tendency OF the District schools, with
its small salary and in view OF exist
ing conditions? Is one OF the LEADING
questions In the school situation to-
day.
In view of the fact Congress has
shown that IL favors retaining Thurs
ton, Il Is not considered likely an
educator will accept the job in the
face OF constant Are from Congress
and the people of the District.
-, JsS Hard To Fill.
Ii Is the opinion OF many acquainted
with the school system that the posi-
ton will he hard to MI and that unless
the board re-elects Thurston, as the
senate committee desires, any new
superintendent will enter the schools
without the support OF either the
public or officers and teachers In the
school system.
-Thurston stated he was hghtinS
the board because he believed II was
time the superintendent. who, oil
over the country. have been and arc
made the subject. of attack. should
make . stand
The Board Of Education once de-
Jcided not to re-ciect Mr.. Thurston
hn rarnnSidar ifs de-
cision in view OF the attitude taken
by the select committee OF the Senate
" hich investigated the District school
system.
Some action must be taken this
month. as Thurston's term automau-
cally expires. The present board can
remain intact until Congress meets
again, and II will have to elect a
superintendent to take office July |.
" May Defy Senators.
The board may defy the Senate com
mittee and select a new man for head
Of the schools. II so, the purpose OF
the committee to retain Thurston will
be defeated, and greater antagonism
is sure to be created in the Senate
against the present board.
Several months ago. when, by a
Vote Of Z to /, the board resolved that
Thurston should terminate his serv-
ices a. superintendent June 80, it set
forth numerous reasons which Thur
ston attacked in statements follow
ing the announcement.
The board meets Wednesday after
noon. This is expected TO be the most
important meeting of the school year.
IT will be next to the last meeting be-
fore Thurston's term expires.

I had been as obstinate as he, for
in my secret heart knew well that
the wife who gives her faith for her
hunband's unfaith wins her hus'
bands respect, and in tn e end. his
supreme regard.
The wife who let's herself be
cheated, knowing that she Is being
cheated all OF the time, wins the
consideration which no partner In
sentimental romance can ever
get from any man.
MANY a time, in my righteous
jealousy, I had scolded myself thus:
"Jane Lorim eT! Why take so sert-
ously what your husband doesn't
find worth taking seriously? Bob
doesn't understand your way Oh
loving, and you do not understand
his. There's a lot Of talk about
love now-a-days-and so little un-
derstandinR! So much revolt BY
persons who talk of the liberty ana
rights Of true love-and who think
only Of license! And so much nom
sense about the danger OF suppress.
ing the emotions. all as an excuse
for some irregular greed in love.
Jane Lorimer, there's a fine theory
that a wife can teach a husband
that, as a wife, she has certain
rights which the husband must re-
spect. Bunk! No wife can do
that! But she can respect herself,
and do her duty. Have you been
doing that
dared not answer my own queS-
ton. MY husbands white face re.
preached me. 1t seemed to be my
answer,
