TEACHERS UNION
.RAPS DISMISSAL
OF N. Y. TEACHER

A demand that the Board Of Edu-
cation make an immediate investiga-
ton into the actual reasons for the
dismissal of Charles A. Wagner, who
lost his position OF the Berriman Jun
ior High School, Brooklyn, last week,
because he taught evolution to his
class, was made yesterday by the
Teachers Union.
In letter to the board, DR.. Henry
r. Linville, president Of the union,
asserted that "after a preliminary
study of the case Of Mr.. Wagner we
find that full and fair consideration
seems not to have been given to the
protection Of his rights"
DR.. Linville, while admitting the
technical validity of the right Of a
principal to discharge a substitute
teacher at will, nevertheless asserted
that il was unfair TO make the pub
lie statements reflecting on the cap
acity of a teacher which will have
the affect of making impossible his
further employment"
In his letter TO the board of educa-
ton, DR.. Linville quoted statements
from prominent educators, including
Prof. John Dewey, of Columbia and
Charles A. Beard of the New School
for Social Research, who declared that
the doctrine Of evolution is now ac-
cepted by the leading scientists who
have devoted their lives to the study
Of biology.
In his statement, Dewey says;
From experience, know that young
children have no difficulty in grasp
ing the general idea of life develop,
ment. 1t is so important that the
younger they are when they are ac-
quainted with it the better, if they
get the idea. Children from ten to
twelve should have no trouble with
it,"
In commenting on the case Prof.
Beard declares: IF it is the business
Of the public schools to prepare ths
pupils for lifo Of intelligence among
intelligent people, then how can they
refuse to explain in scientific and dis
passionate manner a doctrine whicR
is so widely believed and discussed"

Preparations are now being made
for the Joint Defense Bazaar to be
held at the Star Casino on May IL,

A call has been sent out to the
many friends of the defense request
ing donations of articles for the af-
fair. The committee is especially in
terested in shoes, dresses, caps, rain
coats, hats, suitcases, bags, all sorts
of mems and women's wear, camping
outfits, sweaters and hammocks.
Workers in the shops are called
upon to organize committees to mani
ufacture merchandise for the Bazaar.
Get Your Clothes Here.
It is planned to make this affair
great merchandising event. The
hall will resemble o department store
rather than bazaar. The doors will
be opened daily at l P. NJ. to those
wishing to price merchandise. The
ladies dress department will be stu
ated in the rest room behind the
balcony. There will be mems straw
hat department to open the season.

Every worker must plunge into the
defense work to raise money for the
defense and relief of the families Of
the prisoners.
Green, Vol, McGrady and Sigman
are also appealing for money. They
must have it for injunctions, to hire
bands Of eangsters to make war on
the workers in the markets, and to
pay for the prosecutions thru which
workers are thrown into Jail.
To Fight Black Hundreds
The Black Hundreds are making
their last effort to break the unions
and suppress every independent ex-
preston. They viii get help from the
bosses and other enemies of the work
ers.
Once for all we must teach the
blackshirts a lesson that they viii
never forget. They are a danger to
the labor movement that must be
wiped out. A strong defense protect
ing the workers when in need, is the
rock on which the ship Of the enemy
will be wrecked.
