TEACHERS RATING
SYSTEM ADOPTED
"Eminently Superior" Classification
II Approved by School Heads
by Vote of % to 81.

The new rating sheet on which the
efficiency of District public school
teachers will be determined, proposed
several years ago by Superintendent
Frank w. Ballou, was adopted by
school officers at a conference yester-
day afternoon at the Franklin School
AS result the teachers will be rated
according to q stricter and more de-
tailed scale Of efficiency.
One of the salient features included
in the rating system is a new rating
"eminently superior" which was
adopted. after protracted discussion.
by vote of 23 to 81. The chief OBJ
lection to the incorporation of "emi-
nently superior" in the new rating
sheet came from the supervising
principals, who contended that the
present grade of excellent" was suf-
ficient.
The rating of teachers is an annual
work of the supervisory officers and
determines the standing and eligibil-
ity for promotion of each teacher
The ratings in the past have been
general. Now they will be made
upon q more detailed report.
The ratings which a teacher may
receive under the new system are
"eminently superior" excellent"
very good" good" fair and
unsatisfactory" Each grade will
be established by a detailed rating by
the officers.

spastic paraplegia and some obscure
Parkinsonian syndromes - ailments
arising from inability to control mus
cular action-is in sight from the
Mayo clinic here.
DR.. william ]. Mayo, renowned
surgeon, has set corps of research
specialists to work testing the find
ings of a young Australian physicia n
that hold out hope for thousands suf-
fering from certain muscle ailments.
Many world war soldiers who have
lost control of their limbs through
brain injuries. children suffering from
restricted muscle activity due to Lit
ties disease, and persons with Park
insonian syndromes. form of palsy,
will have opened for them an avenue
of relief, should the present confirm
ing research show the discoveries to
be effective.
Muscle Control Theory.
Visiting Australia recently, Dr.
Mayo became acquainted with the
work of DR.. John !. Hunter of the
University of Sydney.
Gain In Control.
Attention was called by DR.. Mayo,
in his address before the American
College of Surgeons in Chicago, Octo-
ber %. 1928, to the fact that IS per
cent of a persons energy is used
for functions of the body over which
the individual has no control-so-
called vegetative functionS-and that
only % per cent of a persons energy
can be directed by himself through
nervous control.
AS mentality became stronger, the
senses of taste, smell, hearing and
sight developed. and with their de-
Telopment came Il connection between
mentality, or the conscious nervous
system and the vegetative functions,
or unconscious nervous system, which
had been outside mans control
Through this nerve communicating &
system from the brain and spinal
cord to the internal organs, through
the sympathetic nervous system
people sometimes develop functional
disorders which often mimic symp-
lies much of the success of the cults
and quackeries. They are introduced

believe are cures, thereby gaining
credence of others.

Now comes DR.. Hunter, who has

that muscular tone depends upon this

4O,OOO CLOTHING WORKERS STRIKE

New York, June 29.-With 10000 members of the Analgamated Clothing Workers of America on strike, the union officials have perfected theiE strike organization and noW\are await ing formation of an employers asso- citation SO that conferences looking to- ward the settlement of mooted points may be started as soon as possible.
 The International Ladies' Garment Workers Union now is negotiating before Governor Smiths board of con ci1iation with view of settling their strike.
 The new strike had two major pur poses First, to force the employers to form single organization which would accept responsibility for con- tracts with the union; and, second, to "pep' up the ranks of the workers during the dull summer season.
 It was said at the unions headquar- ters that hte workers had answered the strike call almost 100 per cent. At the same time it was estimated that between 500 and 1000 shops in New York and nearby sections had been affected.
 The demands of the union are for "close shop" against any further wage reduction, and the introduction of minimum wage scales and the intro duction of unemployment insurance
 This latter demand has been made before by the union, but so far they have been unsuccessful in this. city, al though the unemployment insurance has been affected in Chicago.

 New York, June 2S-Frank and de liant avowal that the costly propagan- railroad laws will be vigorously con tinued is made by railroad executives and their organs. The railroad execu- lives believe that their propaganda campaign, which they unblushingly call campaign of education, was re- sponsible for the failure of Congress to pass the Howell-B Barkley railroad labor bill and they are resolved to keep up their drive to influence public opinion.
 Present temper of the railroad ex- ecutives is revealed by the New York Times, which says:
 Railroad officials say that the cam paign in favor of letting the railroads alone will be continued through the next session of Congress They niafn- tain that the success of this policy at the recent session of Congress more thaniustifes its continuance at the coming session.
 Few railroad executives are satis- fled with the present laws, but 1t IS pointed out that they are better than for many years past. The railroad men fear that changes, if any are made, would be unfavorable to railroad opera ton. Officials assert that in the last

 Even franker avowal of the plans of the railroad executives is made by The Troffic World, an organ of the carriers which boasts of the success of the pro paganda campaign, saying:
 The campaign for hands off the Transportation Act begun months ago when a concerted drive was started to create public opinion favorable to dras- tic changes in the act, has justified it. self. It has been successful so far as the long session of the Sixty-eighth Congress is concerned.
 'The question of changes in Cection 15-A for the labor provisions of the act will be again before the short session beginning nexN December, but the hands off campaign played an impof- tant part in preventing dangerous tin kering with ,the principal features of the act at this time and gave the act at least six months further trial assurn- ing that Congress will not be called into extraordinary session by PreSiden, Coolidge before next December.
