asiest to find and afforded the best
opportunities for saving money.
Then Williana was II, her mother
ook the three children from the asy-
I'M and set up housekeeping. BY this
me her earnings had risen from S.
/ month to $40 and she had a sleep
ng-out" job. Williana and her broth
r went to school and, after school,
he girl came to the house where her
mother worked to help her with such
chores as washing floors, dishes,
cleaning the pantry, preparing vege-
sables.
BY the time she was ready to go
to the New York City Normal Col
lege, which is now known as Hunter
College, Williana Burroughs had ris-
en- to the position of paid assist
ant to her mother. She received IS
month for waiting on table. Most
of this sum she contributed to the
support of her brother and sister.
Occasionally she bought books, and
less often clothing.
II guess my mother was pretty dis
appointed when I dropped from the
head of my class" said Mrs. Bur-
roughs, smiling as If she still re-
GREETED 1t. But when you had to
work, take care of the younger chill
dren and find little time for read
ing that wasn't offered in your school
courses, 1t was pretty difficult to
stay on top all the time"
The six-year struggle for a teach
er's education ended triumphantly
when Mrs. Burroughs received an ap-
pointment as first grade teacher at
salary of $50 month.
In late years, although she was
known to her fellow-teachers and to
parents as radical" her high
standing as teacher and the respect
OF her associates prevented the Tam
many controlled Board of Education
from molesting her
When she became active in the
Teachers Committee for Defense of
Salaries, however, DR.. Ryan, presi-
dent of the board, and DR.. O'Shea,
superintendent of schools, thought
they saw an opportunity to get rid OF
the quiet, foreeful little woman, who
travelled from Queens to Harlem ev-
cry night to work for the defense of
the Scottsboro boys. The opportunity
became ripe after Isidore Blumberg,
"-@'''~r teacher was expelled from
the school system after a mock trial,
Tor his craftsmanship of the salary
committee. Mrs. Burroughs there
upon became chairman of the Blum
berg Defense Committee and, with
Isidore Begun, led large delegation
OF teachers to Board of Education
meeting. The delegation demanded
Bluinberg's reinstatement and re-
fused to be silenced by DR.. Ryan's
suave legalisms. On, Ryan, unable to
prevent the teachers from speaking
their minds, called the cops. Suisse
auently, Mrs. Burroughs and Begun
were dismissed for conduct unbe-
coming TO teacher and prejudicial
to law and order"
Yesterday Mrs. Burroughs had but
one comment to make on the expul-
sion. If they thought my conduct
was unbecoming to a teacher then,
wait till they see my comptrollership
campaign"
