~ o one can become the pos
SCISSOR Of anOther's soul.
That is one Of the sim
plest, most basic facts in life,
and yet the world is full of folks
who make themselves miserable
in trying to disprove facts.
Women, in particular, have a
pitiful way Of trying to establish
complete possession when they
love. This may come as q direct
result Of their mother instinct.
To direct and guide child, to
keep it from stumbling and to
help 1t work out It's relations to
life is a glorious mother-function.
And. of course, all this is tied UP
with the fact that the child is
flesh OF its mothers flesh and
soul OF her soul.
This beautiful mother instinct
becomes predatory and blindly
ravaging force, however, when it
tries to fit grown-ups into the
scheme Of dependency where
only children belong.
know a charming woman
who is liked by other women
and admired by men until she
starts taking possession of them.
Then she begins scheduling their
days, arranging their friendships,
working out their possibilities,
looking up opportunities for
them-and making general
nuisance of herself instead of
the kindly patronne she fancied
herself.
Most grown-ups, who are real
grown.ups and not mental chill
dren in mature bodies, like doing
things for themselves.
A real man wants to make his
0wrway in the world.
A real woman is capable of
her own thinking and planning.
Most Of us resent the over
whelming attempts to be kind
which are offered by one who is
more interested in her own eff.
: forts to do things for folks than
delicately to wait the real OPP
portunity to give needed service.
A dozen American Beauties
may fail to convey a message of
love to one who longs for a tiny
bunch OF trailing arbutus.
The woman who has a sense
Of possession tries to establish
her claims to others either by
; giving too much or by demand,
Ing too much. Either method OF
treating folks repels them and
makes them struggle to retain
their Independence OF action.
When man or woman is left
free to express himself or her
self honestly he or she is faI
more likely to give loyalty and
devotion than when 1t IL de
unanded as tribute.

50 TEACHERS LOSE
NIGHT SCHOOL Jobs
Ruling Affects Those Who
Have Taught Four Con-
secutive Years.

About thirty teachers in the day
public schools who have taught in the
night schools for more than four con-
secutive years. will not be reappoint
ed to their night school positions
when the evening schools open, Octo-
Der 1. School officials estimated to-
day that this number will be affected
by ruling which precludes teachers
from holding night school positions
for more than four years ,consecu-
lively.
Ten of the teachers affected by the
ruling are in the white system The
others are in the colored schools.
The teachers recently made a
modify the ruling. explaining that
living conditions made 1t necessary
for them to work after their regular
school hours and that they would
rather follow their chosen profession
than to seek employment outside the
school system. AS a result a slight
modification was made, but it applied
only to persons teaching in the night
schools who do not hold positions
in the day schools. AS it now stands
the four -year-limit ruling is not ap-
plicable to the night school teachers
not teaching in the day schools.
Many of those who will lose posi-
tions under the ruling are veterans
in the night school system from the
point of service, a few of them hav-
ing taught in these institutions for
twenty-five years or longer. One of
ten white school officials whe will not
be reappointed to the night school
position he had held for many years
Is Charles Hart, principal of the
Eastern Highs day and night schools.
The ruling was made, it was said, to
conserve the teachers.
