ANSWERS TEACHER
TENURE CRITICS
Measures Old Enemies Are
Blamed for Complaints.

Complaints against the teacher
tenure law passed at the recent ses-
sion Of the Indiana Legislature are
in many instances being fostered by
members Of the House or Senate
who failed to support the bill and
are now trying to justify them
selves in their home communities.
This is the opinion of Secretary
o. II. Williams Of the Indiana State
Teachers Association, the organiza-
tion which backed the bill and was
largely responsible for its passage.
THE teacher tenure law was
wanted by almost all of the teach
ers," Williams explained. ut will
prove beneficial, just and protective
here as it has in many other States"
MANY complaints against it come
from politicians who did not give
it support, or from misinformed per-
sons. Many have the erroneous idea
that if a teachers contract is signed
now that the tenure applies and the
trustees will not be able to discharge
the contract holder. Such is not the
case. There is a flve-year proba.
tionary period provided for in the
measure and no teacher is governed
by 1t until this has been served in
given school,"
The law provides that after the
tive'year period has been success
fully passed the teacher may not be
discharged without Just cause" and
is entitled to a hearing.
