MARRIED TEACHERS
(Hartford Tines)


 New York city comes fairly close to being a paradise for the school teacher who once succeeds In op- taining a contract. There is no ban against married teachers. Salaries automatically increase and life tenure is assured. A two-year leave of absence Is given to expectant mothers and sabbatical leaves are granted on generous terms. f
 The result has been that accord- ing to figures compield by Asso- ciate Superintendent Charles w. Lyon. 30 per cent, or 11,00O of the metropolitan elementary and junior high school teachers are married, 1900 are on maternity leaves of absence, another 1900 are on sab batical leaves and 300 are on the absentee list for reasons of health or study. In all. some 2700 substi- tute teachers are now on, the pay roll, taking the place of as many regular members of the stan. In a total of 36,500 teachers this is Q percentage of substitute teachers which perhaps few communities vii leQual.
 MT Lyon, who has charge of ap- pointments of new teachers, points out the interesting fact that nor mai school graduates do not hesl- tate to marry at the. outset of their teaching cereers, neither does the present economic situation appear to interfere with their plans to have children. as the number of teachers on maternity leave this year Is al- most twice as large as the average number of recent years.
 From the standpoint of retaining experienced instructors and giving stability to teaching staffs and standards, the New York city plan has much to commend 1t. In fact, one might call 1t too good for the average community which. espe- oiaiiv in recent years. hesitates 10 salarize the second breadwinners in a family out of public funds when there are so many families where none is employed.

AUvERGNE AND VERMONT
(New York Herald-Tribune)

(NeW 1ork Heralu-TriDune)
 Auverge, the mountainous region of south-central France where M. Pierre Laval was born. and Yer mont, the native state. of Mir Calvin Coolidge. are not altogether unlike in geography. as the two men are not wholly unlike in human traits and background. :.
 There is fertile land. in both countries. The Limagne basin. on the eastern edge of which the French premier was born, in the village of Chateldon, Is one of the most productive soils in France. But in Auvergne. as in Vermont, there Is almost everywhere such an upheaval of granite that earn ing a living on. the land calls for perseverance. to say the least. and frugality.
 In both cases hard worn coun- try produce, Is champiOned in the market by-again to say the least = resourceful bargaining. For generations the country markets in Auvergne have been a practical business school of the first order. graduating into the mercantile life of the larger cities of France Auv- ergnats who hold their own easily or distinguish themselves in trade or politics. N f~
 The population of Auvergne. as of Vermont. has been decreasing for many years. as the, Auvergnats have been making themselves very much at home in Paris and other urban centers. They have been arriving by all avenues, through scholarship, art and letters as we'll as trade and manual labor. these robust personalities who stand transplating so well.
 M. Piere Laval, something of an intellectual prodigy in his village of Chateldon, earned his own edu- cation and taught school for many years before he went into politics. His story Is the familiar American one of the country boy of marked attainments snd solid character. with roots Sseep in what the old World calls peasant life, who wins distinction in the city and the na- tion through superior energy and ability.
 "Auvergnat de Paris" however. is not quite the same thing as ''New York Vermonter," need we say? The human geography of Auvergne ts hundreds of generations deep and. presumably, much of it is re- capituIated in the present French premier. N.

Collingswood. New Jersey, has just, passed an ordinance that bids fair to cause it some trouble. It was voted that owners of dogs be fined $l00. imprisoned 10 days or both if their animals parked between the hours of p. m. and 6 a. m. Complaints about dogs barking at night caused the. ordinance.
