According to the actresses story

ment and tore her hair and kicked her.
She was rescued by Capt. B. P. Hoey, an

27 PROFESSORSASK
LUSK LAW RULINGS
Petition Graves to Define
Teachers Rights, to End
Their Suspicious.
SECRET TRIALS 'FEARED'
Columbia, G. c. N. Y. and
Union Seminary Representa-
tives Join. in Appeal.

Twenty-seven professors joined yes
terday in petitioning Frank p. Graves.
Commissioner of Education, to define
tie Lusl law in SUCH a manner that
teachers would know exactly the ex-
tent of it's provisions. The letter says:
I'VE appeal to you to use your Of
fetal power in the administration of
the law to remove the uncertainty as
to TIE fundamental rights of the
teacher and to eliminate the atmos-
phere Of suspicion that has developed.
so that teachers may be free to devote
themselves to their duties without
being hampered by fear--a fear that
has been promoted not only by the
present law but also by the secret pro-
ceedings of the Advisory Council.
which, meets behind closed doors and
does not confront the accnsed with the
name of the accuser."
The letter lays stress upon the neces-
sty for defining precisely that part Of
the Lusk law which provides for the
revocation of license of any teacher
other than the Government of the
United States"
Legal decisions on this point are by
no means decisively clear" the COM
munication states. because courts have
rightly been inclined to view this as
political question rather than judicial
question. The effect is to leave the
teacher under fear that an utterance
might be construed as advocating a
form of government other than that of
his State or the United States. Sucn
fear cannot but hinder the teachers ef-
fectiveness by restraining the freedom
which is essential to honest and effec-
tive teaching"
The Commissioner Is asked to have
this clause removed, and to take what
ever steps in his judgment would lead
to the repeal of the Lusk law. 1t Is
further urged that "the machinery for
trying teachers be in accordance with
the traditions of American and English
procedure in matters Of Justice"
