),
TEACHER
:.


In answer to the charge of
I. Henry Gilligan, a member of the
Board of Education, who at yes
terday's meeting said that Super
. intendent of Schools Frank w.
Ballou had prohibited the ap-
pearance before the board Of
Miss Catherine watkins, head
Of the kindergarten department,
Superintendent Ballou declared
that he had merely advised" Miss
Watkins not to appear as the time
was not best.
He added that she was free
to do as she pleased and was
not forced to take his advice.
DR.. Ballou will turn over all
his correspondence to Gilliga.1
for his judgment. Gilligan said
. that if he were wrong he would
apologize.
Carusi Complained
The trouble grew out of the
complaint last week of President
Charles F. Carusi, who said that
he understood some school teach
ers were appearing before con.
gressional committees without
permission of the board. and if
such a custom were allowed to
continue there would be a dagger
of teachers thwarting the work
of the board.
Since the controversy started,
Senator Blaine has introduced a
resolution seeking to prevent the
Board Of Education from denying
its employees the privilege OF petit
tion to Congress.
Gilligan said in part:
"It seems to me that some
school officials and board mem
bers are soaring teachers to
such an extent that hey are
afraid to speak here or at
Congress. / agree perfectly with
. the contention of the Teachers
Union that this board is at
tempting to Curtail the cOnSti-
tutional rights of American
citizens"
DR.. Carusi retaliated with the
statement that he was in SYM
.pathy with the constitutional
rights of teachers or any other
citizens, but that the Teachers
Union goes too far. he adds
that the school teachers are sub
ordinates of the board and that
there are times when subordina-
ton is necessary.
The board voted against the
bill introduced by Representative
Zihlman for the teaching Of
moral and humane ideals.

He was bif disap- pointed in not reaching the Miller home until after his six comrades of the federal troops, back in '6l, had departed.
 The six veterans arrived at the Mill Ter home at fI.15 o'clock. For q short time they sat about in pleasant con versation. Then came 'mess calF' dear Co the heart of every soldier and never forgotten. Little Miss Betty St Laurent, led the procession to the dining room where she gave the flag salute. Hiram Barrett, 91 and Mrs. Emiline Miller. 94, the oldest couple present, were given the place of honor at the head of the procession. Bring ing up at the rear was the youngest couple, Richard Gibney, s3, and Mrs. Almira Perry. over 70. formerly of Putnam, now residing at the Eastern Star Home.

THAT-Neither the census return showing Putnam has had a slight fall ling off in population during the past ten years nor the Litery Digest poll return showing that Putnam is dissat- isfed with the present control of in- toxicating liduor were such as to cause surprise. When one sees many empty houses and tenements and listens in vain for the whirr of machinery in factories that are empty 1t takes little astuteness to deduee that where once there were people there are no longer people. This be- ing so it is a foregone conclusion that there are not as many people remain ing to be counted. And when we re- call that for year after year the citizens of this town voted to license the saloon and that there were year after year twenty-two licensed places in this town the disclosure that Put nam is so-called "wet" does not give anyone jolt.
