Faith and Bob found their voices

when Cherry put her small foot on
the lowest step leading to the front

It was Bob who answered: God
knows, Cherry! She's. gone-her cribs
empty. We thought you'd taken her
driving with you and Andrews;
Cherry tore out of Faiths grasp
and hurled herself across the porch
to the open front door. They heard
her sobbing as she ran to Faiths and
Bob's bedroom. They followed her

of the emptiness Of the crib.
Cherry, her golden eyes blazing
and two round spots Of color burning
on her cheeks. whirled out Of the
room as they were about to enter it.
"Her clothes are gone. nearly all Of

Too Many Teachers
(ChiCaQO Tribune)

There are 1000 more public school teachers in
Chicago than there are positions for them to &C.
cupy. The eversupply, which appears TO- be on the
increase, il causing some anxiety to the school
administration. A number of proposals have been
made to meet the situation One Of them Is to grant
each teacher the right to take years leave of
absence for travel and study every seventh year.
The proposal is not bad one. It need add nothing
to the cost of running the schools. The plan de-
serves consideration, not as q means Of employing
more teachers but as means Of improving the
quality Of the teaching.
We cannot see that the oversupply Of applicants
for positions need cause any worry. M one is
obliged to teach school in Chicago. IL there are
more applications than positions, itis Welcome in
dication Of the desirability Of positions nthe Chi
caso school system. Old-fashioned employers would
say that under the circumstances lower salaries
would be justified. We do not share that view. W.
believe that teaching positions should pay vel
enough to attract men and women Of intelligence
and character. At the same time the great demand
for teaching positions in Chicago is an effective
answer to those who insist that thA teachers her,
are abused, greatly underpaid, and discontinued.
The economic loss involved in the nlehess Of man,

That this cannot be true Is the

surprises coming to you, for while,
