CHICAGO, July 19.-When is a
teacher not a teacher
And the answer to that, boys and
girls, is:
When she isn't in bed by 8 o'clock
in certain sections of the ~covereign
state of North Carolina.
When she Is discovered playing
cards or dancing out in Iowa.
When she appears in the class
room Of schools in several Michigan
communities CARRIED in knee-length
dress.
The Reason
A teacher isn't a teacher any
longer under those conditions, be-
cause she's fired.
Just like boom stands for pine
apple in Chicago, a c-i-g-a-r-e-t-t-e
Gin the mouth of a woman teacher)
stands for dismissal almost any place
you care to mention in these free
and enlightened states called Amer
lea. But it won't be for long.
Bedtime stories for teachers are
out, according to an ultimatum an
nounced recently by the American
Federation Of Teachers convention
here. And bobbed hair, dancing
smoking, attendance at the movies
latchkeys and, yes. an occasional
cocktail, are in to stay.
1.-THE time has come for teachers
to put thumbs down on the absurd
restrictions that are placed on school
teachers in the backward communi-
ties of the nation" according to Mrs,
Florence G. Hanson. of Chicago,
secretary Of the federation.
1T was one of the purposes Of the
recent convention to find ways and
means Of bringing these old-fash-
Toned communities up to date. Why,
only recently in West Virginia, a
candidate for the school board
sought the place on the platform
that he would vote for the dismissal
Of any teached who did not buckle
her galoshes and wear her skirts to
within at least eight inches Of the
ground.
Many Can't Marry
Believe it or not, there are some
towns where teachers aren't even al
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-07-19

lowed to be married. Attendance at
movie theaters is taboo for school
ma'amS in dozens Of villages and
towns scattered over the country.
Wrecked dresses are not permitted
in other schools, and even silk stock
ings r frowned upon by some
school boards, while a teacher who
is known to smoke stands about as
much chance of holding her Job as
a first grade pupil holding down the
presidents desk in the local bank"
The teachers are armed for the
conflict and they're going to fight
and until the final bell pealS a peal
Of victory for terpsichore, habits Of
dress and personal taste, Miss Han
son indicated.
Were fighting for the principal
of academic freedom for teachers"
declared Miss Amy Fox, of Mime
apolis. Mimi, chairman Of the teach
ers' tenure committee, who intro
duced the anti-blue law for school
ma'ams resolution. This includes
personal liberty.
Our federation now has 200 locals
throughout the country. Our motto
is the schools for democracy and
democracy in the schools
I'VE are asking for only a little
more privacy and personal liberty
than the gold fish gets"
The federation is credited with
being instrumental in raising teach
ers' salaries, lifting them from the
class of pin money in many sections
to important pay checks, as in New
York and Chicago. where the mini
mum for classroom teachers is $4,000
and $500 a year, respectively.
After Personal Liberty
And the federation is on record to
go after the personal liberty matter
in even a more determined way.
The class in educational costumes
and customs will now turn to page
500 in their dictionaries, where it
says:
'Ped-a-gog Cue. N. 1. An instruc-
tor of young people: a schoolmaster;
commonly a pedantic. narroW-mind-
ed teacher. 2. class. antiq. A slave
who attended children to school"

SAND DUNE YIELDS
CLUTCH ON OLD TOWN
Baltic Coast Fishing Port Was
Buried by Lonzker Slide
400 Years Ago.

STOLPA Germany OP.-The almost
legendary Pomerania township of
Lonzke, which disappeared centuries
ego under the sands of "wanderinR
dune" Is coming to light again.
Lonzke was a thriving fishing pors
On the Baltic coast early in the six
tenth century, but was slowly invaded
by q moving mass of sand known as
the Lonz(ter dune. Finally deserted by
its inhabitants, 1t was completely in
quilted and no visible trace of it re-
manned. This happened about 400
bears ago.
Lately the dune in its further glacier
like progress began to yield up parts
Of the old site. The Kaiser Friedrich
Museum in Berlin then set to work to
explore this "Pomeranian Pompeu" and
many interesting ancient implements
were found.
Pieces of money Of King Sigismund ]
Of Poland, Albrecht Of Brandenburg
and Frederick Of Saxony were un-
earthed, dating between 1893 and 1882
but one new Moldavian coin bore the
latest date, 1910. This Is therefore be-
1ieved to be about the time when the
last inhabitants, according to legend
fed front a terrific sandstone.
Efforts have been made for years to
anchor the Lonzker dune by planting
vegetation, but to no avail. The dune
which Is ITO feet high and about mile
square, proceeds on its way relentleSSly

A Famous Old Market.

Caledonian market, though not such

Flow Of Countrymen Into Capital

ROME Ep).-The Eternal City Is wax

Despite the comprehensive regulations

than twice what it was five years ago.
The Capitolium, the monthly review
Of the governor of Rome, in considering

that In the last fiscal year Romes pop

that thd influx of country people will

LONDON, June 15.-No. 10 Downing

turned the last few weeks, looks small

in reality 1t is a very large house.
It spreads out in an extraordinary
way, and is built round center court

allows far more rooms than in an ordi-
nary house. :,
One of the most interesting rooms is
the enormous dining hall. In this, the
retiring prime minister, Mr.. Baldwin,
kept all the caskets presented TO MN
when he received the freedom OF various
cities. The cabinet room is on the
ground floor and takes up the whole
of the Downing street facade.
No. 10 Downing street. like Chequers,
the Notwithstanding home Of British
prime ministers, is permanently fur
nished. but its various occupants usually
like to have at least some of their
own furniture about them. Mr.. Bald
win, who possesses beautiful things, had
virtually all his furniture transferred
to No. 10 when he took office in 1924.
It has become the custom for retiring
prime ministers to leave souvenir. Mr..
