SCHOOL QUESTION
 IN NEW YORK CITY
Effort Being Made to Do Away With the Dual
 System
SOME HAVE EIGHT JOBS

The board of education, at It's meeting yesterday, formally ap- proved the proposed legislative bill, which it drafted at 8 joint session with the board of superintendents, to eliminate multiple job holding in the public school system by per hitting leaves of absence without pay to teachers holding regular and non-regular positions.
 At a hearing on the bill last week, to which pr William J. o. Shea, superintendent of schools, in- vited representatives of the var ious teacher organizations, Asso- ciate Superintendent Edward Man. del, as well as Dr O'Shea, made 1t clear that teachers holding dual jobs in the day and evening schools would not be affected by the boards action.
 After the meeting yesterday Dr O'Shea was asked if he had altered his position as to the dual job holders. His reply was that, fin the main," teachers holding two jobs in the day and evening schools would not be disturbed. He felt it necessary, he said, to have skilled" teachers in the evening schools. although he would like to limit each teacher to one job he thought experienced day teachers were re- quired in the evening schools.
 Walter Jeffreys Carlin, newly ap- pointed member of the board of education, in discussing the pro- posed elimination of multiple jobs, said he himself would approach the problem from the theoretical" viewpoint that there should be only one job for one person. He thought, however, that each case should be considered on it's merits.
 It was estimated by MT Mandel last week that the enactment of the bill would provide nearly D. 500 jobs for unemployed teachers. He added that more than 1000 teachers were now holding more than three jobs and some as many as eight jobs. He estimated that about 2,000 teachers were holding dual jobs in the day and evening schools, the group which he and Dr O'Shea said would not be dis turbed.

Miss Murphy at
 Leavenworth High
Addressed Elemen f tary Teachers Club Yester=
 day Afternoon

Miss Lulu Murphy. in her ad- dress before the Elementary Teachers Club at Leavenworth High yesterday afternoon, advo- cated a curtailment of technical grammar, decribed the pressing need for 8 revision of the English outline in the city in keeping with the requirements of the pupil. and urged each member of the club to submit technical subject she be- lieved might be eliminated from the grammar school course.
 The speaker did not advocate the entire elimination of technical grammar nor did she dispute with high school teachers that there is a need for it, but asserted that where the need arises, teach it.
 Technical grammar she added, for students of the elementary grade has such 8 remote value that all necessary knowledge is lost before it is required in life. English, above all our other sub- jects, marks an educated person.

While fifty policemen, plain- clothes men and detectives waited at the City Hall for threatened demonstration by communists and a ''show down" with Mayor Frank Hayes only one local leader of the "Unemployed Councip', an organ ization sanctioned by the "reds" made an appearance. He was John Borgnis and his part in the picture was played in the most unexpected way. He sauntered by the City Hall with a huge bag of provisions on his shoulder, a gift from the Mutual Unemployed committee. He was homeward bound and when stopped and asked concerning the planned demonstration remarked that it was "called off," He wasn't interested in the communists for today at least. He had called for his "eats" and obtained them with out any difficulty.
 The most significant feature of today's incident was the attitude of the police. There will be no more peaceful dickering with commun- ists or paid leader sent into Wa terbury to stir up trouble. There will be no more marches upon the SIty I1dll Wltu TcSOlutlOu6 OL PEO- tests about starvation plans" or other wildly imagined claims. Due to the banking situation and the general attitude of the public, which is inclined to view matters sanely and wisely and with full confidence in tn ecity officials, the state authorities and the United States government to see this thing through, Superintendent of Police Joseph H. Mclean has pointed thumbs down" on shows or demonstrations led by out of town agitators. New Britain and other cities have resented the intrusion of non-residents. After granting committees the privilege twice of presenting resolution and hearing their complaints the local author ities have declared against further demonstrations.
 This attitude will not prevent communists from holding peaceful meetings, but the marches on the City Hall for the attendant public 1ty are to be placed under a ban.
 Led by Superintendent Mclean In full uniform the police awaited developments this morning at 10 o'clock shortly after word had been received at the mayors office that a delegation was enroute to present new demands.
 Members of the traffic squad, motor patrol, vice squad and detec- tive bureau as we'll as a score or more of patrolmen were hurried ly rnobilized. Policemen were sta- tioned at all doors of the City Hall. Detectives thronged the corridor of the municipal building. In headquarters the main guard of the

The unemployed council of Wa terbury, the International Labor Defense of South Norwalk, the Stamford state hunger march pro- visional committee and the Bridge port city committee, representing workers organizations recently sent telegrams to Mayor Quigley of New Britain protesting against the arrests of IT persons as the re- suit of an unemployed demonstra- ton, demanding the immediate re- lease of the men and women who are awaiting trial.
 Mayor Quigley, it is believed, will not reply, and had no comment to make other than that the signers of the telegrams might have spent their money for more worthy causes than such messages.
 When the cases were called in New Britain city court, Ronald Loomis, candidate for mayor on the communist ticket in 1892, informed

police awaited developments. They waited in vain.
 When Borgnis was spotted" walking home with his provisions Tn the bag it was generally agreed that the proposed demonstration was not likely to materialize. And there will be no more committees welcomed at the City Hall.
 The police are inclined to the opinion that the general public realizes and appreciates the fact that the marches are inspired by out of town men and are staged under communist leaders. Very few Waterburians are included in the lineup. And several of them are being fed by the unemployed committee.

Sound INSTINCT"
HELD j. S. SAVIOR.
Representative Beck Pays
Tribute to People for Re-
tanning Democracy.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Representative Beck of Philadelphia
told the House today that the sound
instinct Of the American people" was
largely responsible for retention of
democracy in the United States.
At the end of the World War, Beck
said in Lincoln's birthday speech,
Crowns had fallen thick as Autumnal
leaves" and 'ft then seemed for little
while that government of the people,
for the people and by the people had
been vindicated, and that the world
had been made safe for democracy"
And then a mighty change came
over the worlds dream of democracy" 4"
he said. "A reaction, swift and terrible,
against parliamentary government,
through which democracy alone can
function, swept over the world. like the
shadow of huge eclipse. ..
Governments in Danger.
To-day, 157 years after the Declara-
ton Of Independence, popular govern
ment all over the world seems to be in
more serious danger than at any time
since Jefferson, like Chanticleer, pro-
claimed the 'reddening morn of de-
mocracy. g
'At no time within the memory Of
living man has Lincoln's ideal of
Government of and by and for the
people been more openly denied and
flouted.
Let us not lay the 'flattering unc-
ton to our souls that we have finally
and completely solved the great prob
lem Of popular government. It is still,
to use the words of Lincoln, an un-
