The Married School
Teacher

Editor Tribune: I note with con-
siderable satisfaction your editorial in
yesterdays issue OF the Tribune en-
titled "Scrapping Married Teachers"
The announcement has been made
that the board OF education will en-
ploy no married women as teachers
in h Casper schools next year; that
no e teachers. who are married may
be employed, and that those married
women who are now teaching may
not be re-employed.
In arriving at this conclusion, 1t
would seem that that board Of educa-
ton is losing sight of the real idea
in employing teachers. Under an up,
to-date. broad-minded, fair admins
t~ration. teachers are ordinarily en-
ployed because of sneir qualifications
which make them good, capable, eff
Gent teachers. 1t matters not whether
they be of light or dark complexion,
tall or short OF stature, or whether
they happen to have been born in
Massachusetts, or Texas. II matters
not whether they be good cooks or
poor dancers. These things have
nothing to do with their qualifications
essential to good teachers. Neither
has the matter of whether they be
married or single. No one can say
that unmarried teachers as a class
are better or poorer teachers than
married teachers. There are good.
bad n Indifferent in each class, just
the same as there are good bad, and
Indifferent teachers.
What we want in our Casper
schools is, a good, efficient CORPS of
teachers-teachers OF academic pre-
paration, teachers of experience,
teachers of a natural aptitude for Civ
ing instruction, teachers of attractive
personality and sterling persona
character. teachers who have demon
strated their ability to render salts
tory service.
Along with the announcement that
no married women are to be employ
ed in the Casper schools another year
comes h information tina the prin-
cipal of m OF our grade schools, a
married woman, has been assured
that she will be employed in her same
position for next year.
On this particular question the at.
titude OF the board of education is
something hard for the layman to
understand. In the, first plase, what
reason is there for the discrimination
OF the board against married women
What reason is there for disregarding
essential teaching qualifications in a
married woman, when those quaiifi-
cations Of right ought to be funda-
mental in the selection of any teach
err? And furthermore. If all married
teachers are to come under the ban,
why employ a married woman as
principal of a grade SCHOOL,
If the board of education has any
thing to say on the subject. m ex-
PLANTATION to make, any reasons to
give, any account to render as to the
manner in which they administer
school affairs entrusted to them, we
are sure that the taxpayers Of Cas-
per and the fathers and mothers of
children in Casper schools. would be
interested to hear from them.
And in the mean time, IL the pres
ent board of education persists in side
tracking their responsibility, then Il

Democracy and Bureaucracy

A Democratic editor recently criticised
a the extension of bureaucracy under the United
States government, implying that the Republican party
is largely responsible for that particular phase of our
national activities.
In his plea for simplicity and economy the editor
says:
ITO resist paternaism in government is democratic
to resist bureaucracy is democratic. The same tend
encies that are confiscating by oppressive taxation
the rewards of toll and thrift are likewise conspiring

but why take action against construc-

With the present ~overcrowded sit
uation in the local schools. and the
physical condition OF some of the
so-called new school buildings. I doubt
tho a~dvisability OF increasing the
school population. These are ques-
tons. which should occupy the atten-

tional hospitals for neuro- psychiatric
patients is contained in the report of
the American Legion's commission for
rehabilitation, to be laid before the
convention today by Col A. A.
Sprague head of the rehabilitation
commission.
The report criticises the, govern
ments achievements to date.
THE history of hospital construc-
ton by the government. judging by
actual results. is tragedy for the
sick, a discredit to the government
and an affrOnt to the American Lee
gion. There is not redeeming fea-
ture in it: politics. promises, plans,
failure to prepare anything but alibis
contentious. conspired to defeat the
actual providing of needed beds" the
report said.
1T is sincerely hoped" the report
continues, that this convention will
benefit by the mistakes. the some
times hideous errors of the past four
years. and that there will be de-
cisive awakening of the public con-
science that will right the wrongs
here recited and carry on the pro-
gram and work outlined by the Amer
lean Legion"
The report, after commencing Con-
gress for enacting beneficial laws,
excoriates individual representatives
and senator's for what it terms their
endeavors to locate hospitals where
they cannot be used, and to keep hos
pitfalls where they are not needed, and
to secure employment for their
friends"

the rest Of the house was shrouded in
darkness. About the grounds nothing
stirred, and the sQueaking brakes of
an automobile on the down grade Of
the road nearby sent forth an eerie
sound that made persons looking the
place over SILVER.
The Phillips farm, where the bodies
OF DR. Hall and his choir leader, Mrs.
Eleanor Mills. were found a month
ago. is being wrecked by souvenir
hunters.
Scores of persons are going there
daily They have almost completely
stripped crabappie tree. beneath
which the bodies were discovered. of
its bark. Some one has carved a
couple of crosses on it. The furniture
in the Phillips house, a short distance
away. has been sacked by curious
gatherers, and many windows are
broken.
A sign had been posted on the
door warning off trespassers. The
doors were locked. but the windows
were not. The souvenir hunters did
not believe in signs. There were ap-
parently more women than men in
the visiting parties. They came by
automobiles and on foot to look over
the scene. and the passage of a month
has by no means dulled their curl
oSity.
Mrs. Hall yesterday was out in the
garden at the side of her home pick
ing flowers. Newspaper men jumped
out of an automobile in an effort to
get to her. She got into the house
before they reached her. Last night
she could not be seen.
BANNER Girl Held.
Raymond Schneider is expected
back at jail today from the Middle
sex County Hospital. where he was
taken Saturday to have badly in
fected finger treated. He Is still be-
ing held for perjury, and also for at
tempting to corrupt the morals Of a
minor. This charge is made with
Pearl BANNER as the girl in the case.
She and her father are in jail. Nick
BANNER. the father. is being held on
statutory charge. She laughs and
of the night and goes to sleep early
in the morning. Her shrieking
laughter could be heard in the jail
last night. She gives the warden
a lot Of trouble, he said, but her
father is quiet and docile.
The Hayes expense fund totaled
$1.4S0. 1t will be distributed to To-
cal charity after a very small per-
centage is taken out for the ex-
penses incurred in obtaining the re-
lease from jail of Clifford Hayes, who
was locked up when Schneider told
authorities that he, Schneider, had
seen Hayes kill the rector and choir
leader. mistaking them for Pearl and
Nick BANNER. Attorneys for Hayes
placed no fee for the handling of the
case. The incidental expenses. it Is
estimated. amounted to no more than
couple hundred dollars.
