 RULE BILL GIVEN
Provides Two Parliaments, One for North Ireland,
 and Other for South
sv Associated p,s,.

London, February T.-1'he government tonight made public the text of its Irish home rule bill introduced in the House of Commons on Wednesday and passed through its first reading by title. The measure follows closely the outline given to the public by Premier Lioyd-George in December last, By it's provisions two parliaments would be set up, one for the north of Ireland and the other for the south of Ireland. the northern Parliament to consist of hfty-two rnemlhrs and the southern of 12s members
 The representation in the Imperial Par iiament would be 12 for north Ireland and apportionment of Ireland, which Is pro- vided for in the bill.
 The northern area would be composed of the counties of Antrim, Armagh. Down, Fermanagh Londonderry and 1y- rome, and the boroughs of Belfast and Londonderry.
 A "council for Ireland.' composed of 70 members. half of whom would be se- lected by each of the parliaments is also provided for ip the bill. The legislative
 
 those granted 1t by the two legislatures, but the framers of the bill hope it will form a nucleus around which would be built one parliament for the whole of Ireland. Almost unlimited executive leg islative and judicial powers are provided for such 6 united parliament, but the powers to be conferred on the separate parliaments would be considerably cur tailed. Responsibility for organizing the united parliament, and the power to created it is left entirely with the two legislatures. The bill provides that the united parliament, if formed, would con trol the customs and excise.
 At the outset. according to the bill, the parliament would havesfuli control of ed ucation, local government and the land policy, agriculture, roads and bridges, transportation, old-age pensions, insur- ance, municipal affairs housing, hospitals and licenses; all the judicial offices would be controlled by the Irish paria- ments, each body controlling the offices in it's own district. but there would be a court of appeal for the whole Of Ireland presided over by the lord chancellor.

Facts
OF Board in
Tndsley Case
School Directors Called On
by Public Education
Association to Refute
Many Rumors of Politics
Insist on Open Diplomacy
Urge Reelection at Once of
Associate Superintendent;
Recall His Long Record

Asserting that rumors are emanating
from responsible circles that the Board
of Education Is holding up the re-elec-
tion of DR.. John L. Tildsley as asso-
ciate uperintendent of public schools
for political reasons and that it is de-
sired to place man in DR.. Tildsley's
place more in harmony with the present
political administration Of the city,
the Public Education Association yes
terday called upon the board to refute
these rumors with the facts and re-elect
Dr.. Tildsley. A statement was issued
over the signature of Howard W. Nudd,
director of the education association.
Ii said in part:
"If DR.. Tildsley is to be supplanted
there Is only one way of doing SO which
the public will tolerate. Tho Board of
Education must take a frank and full
public statement of its reasons for
dismissing a member Of the professional
staff who has served the schools for
twenty-five years and whose career has
been steadily marked with promotions
and rewards by the authorities in the
past. The public will be satisfied with
nothing less than open diplomacy in
matter of this sort. which concerns
not SO much DR.. Tidsley personally as
the morale of the whole school system.
The steady rise of the merit system
in the field Of public education has es-
tablished the principle that efficiency
in service means continuance in Office.
Every member Of the professional staff
in the schools with the exception Of thu
Board of uperintendents has per-
mo npf tn,,, ;ch II
position of associate superintendent is
in no way analogous to that of Com
missioner of Docks or any other public
office which the reigning political
dynasty may look upon as just spoils.
The job does not belong to the board
to dispose of as it may wish 1t is an
expert service which the board must
safeguard for the people, to whom alone
it is responsible. Wherein has Dr..
Tildsley failed and in what respects
does the person who may be slated or
selected to succeed him excel in eff
cheney and in devotion to the ideals of
public education? That alone is the
question in which the public is inter
ested and to which it insists upon an
unambiguous answer by the Board Of
Education if he is not returned to
Office
"Citizens who are alarmed at the
mere thought of reversion to the poll

and from which they were laborioN Nv
rescued under the leadership of the late
