ARSENAL TEACHERS WIN

Committee appointments for 1921, an
nounced by Mrs. Julia Belle Tutewiler,
who was elected president of the board
OF school commissioners two weeks ago,
at the meeting OF the board last night,
plainly indicated that the old poliucai
adage ito the victor belongs the spoiIs"
is not yet obsolete.
Mrs. TutewiIer's election two weeks
ago was assured by the three votes cast
for her by Clarence (. Crippen, Bert s.
Gadd and herself, while ". D. Allison
and Charles L. Barry cast their votes
for other persons and it was very notice
p@SbIe that the most important committee
appointments fell to those who voted tor
her.
Mr.. Crippen and Mr.. Gadd are named
on the important committee on instruc-
tfon with Mr.. Allison as the third mem
Der. Mr.. Gadd is made chairman Of the
/ committee on buildings and grounds,
another committee of great importance,
while Mr.. Barry, who for thirteen years
was captain Of an Indiana National
Guard infantry company and who has
always been an ardent supporter OF milf
tary instruction in the high schools Of
the city, was eft of Of the military in
struction committee. Of which he was
chairman last year, and named on the
committee of thanks and memorials,
probably the least important stand
ing committee on the list. Nhen
military instruction was first consld-
cred by the board several years ago, Mr.
Barry was actively in favor Of 1t, While
Mrs. Tutewiler opposed and voted
against several motions looking to its
installation in the local high schools.
WOMEN VOTERS LEAGUE
WINS TEACHERS FIGHT.
The list of appointments for teachers
4 g. IF
year, which opened Monday, showed that
I in the final analysis the League Of Won
en- Voters have come of with a lion
share Of the honors in their fight for
I the reinstatement Of the seventeen teach
ers at Arsenal Technical High School,
who were offered temporary contracts
E last year. after taking prominent part,
along with D. B. Carroll, in the move
ment to obtain higher salaries for teach
ers.
Last spring Mr.. Carroll, who had taken
leading part in the movement, ana
who had made a splendid record IN the
Army during the war, was notined that
/ he would not be offered g contract for the
coming year. The other seventeen teach
/ ers were offered temporary contracts, and
no effort on the part OF either the teach
ers or the League Of Women Voters
could ever obtain from Superintendent T..
-. Gran. or the board itself, any definite
Reason for the action.
s. When the list Of teachers was an
Pnounced last night the names OF thlr-
teen Of the seventeen appeared as having
been given permanent appointments,
while the other four and Mr.. Carroll
have given up the teaching profession
The outcome is generally looked upon as
a big victory for the League Of Women
Voters. Three members OF the league
Miss Alma Seeker, Miss Eldena Lauter
and Miss sara Lauter, all of whom took
an active part in the fight for the re
tention of the teachers were at the
meeting.
