inside me rises up in horror and

that I hate it. What is wrong

You. may be sure, therefore, that
no woman can do so. It takes
away the bloom of youth more
quickly than the ravages of time
or Of illness, 1t softens the moral
fiber and destroys self-respect.
Nor is this meant to be lecture
on the merits of teetotalism. It's
only statement of hard facts.
One necessarily does not go to
the gutter over one or even sew

art of drinking like ladies and
gentlemen instead of like pigs
should be cultivated, and I can
think Of no one better fitted to

For there exists serious dispar-
lty, in many cases. between the
temperament of the teacher and
the requirements Of her lob.
The problem Of keeping 285
Squirming and energetic youngsters
happy and intent OH their books for
five hours a day requires a strong

that a teacher is sure Of her ability
to keep discipline he will throw
paper Wads, smoker and otherwise
discomflt her.
The worse cases Of bullying that
occur in any school are those in
which the class knows that they
have the teacher on the run.
To avoid chaos in the classroom

higher salaries and more variety,

good scrap. The ranks of the
teachers are. very largely, drawn
from those college graduates who
are scholarly, shy and little tim

If you subject 10000 women of
this type to the bedevilment of
class Of robust girls and boys you
must expect some Of them to crack
under the strain. 1t seems quite
reasonable to suppose, as DR.. Alt
mans report indicates. that mental
and emotional breakdOwnS are an
occupational disease of school teach
ing as lead poisoning is an occupa-
tional disease to painters.
What can be done about it? The
first and most obvious step is the
removal of every one of the men

post, even if its costs the taxpayers
a pretty penny for their retirement
funds. These women deserve every

POLITICS QUIET
IN DISTRICT
BUILDING
No Influential Source at Pres
ent Is Pressing for Position
For Deserving Democrat

For the first time since the
present District Commissioners
took office, politics appeared to
be quiescent at the District Build,
ing today.
Political gossips, who have been
working overtime for the past
several months making predic.
tions as to the loss Of this and
that official head, remained 81
lent, while the commissioners
declared that no changes are i'm
pending.
No Pressing Candidates
The solution to the mystery
seems to be that no one influen.
tial in political circles is pressing
for a job for a deserving Demo
crat" at the present moment
Until now the District Building
has been overrun with members
of the House and Senate and po.
litical leaders seeking jobs for
constituents.
Several officials already have
lost their jobs as a result of this
activity. Chief among these is
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride, who resigned" a short
time ago and who will relinquish
his office March IS.
Davis Lost Out
Another victim was Herbert l..
Davis, former superintendent Of
insurance, who was removed to
make way for the son-in-law Of
a member of Congress. Mr.. Davis
was given another job in the AS
SCISSORS office, with a yearly
salary of $1,000 less than his
former post.
Others who have been slated
to go, according to the gossips,
include Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer, Director Of Play
grounds Sibyl Baker, Assistant
Director of Public Welfare Paul
Kirby and others.
Apparently nothing will be
done, however, by the Commis-
sioners until they again are forced
into action by pressure from "the

tanned these charges, among
others:

count.

i, Capt. M. M. Barnard branded
the Pitts trip allegations as "too
silly for words" Friends Of Pitts
denied the charge also and pointed
out that Mrs. Pitts goes to the
reformatory only on the regular
visiting days.
Representative ard w.

resents the area in which Lorton
is located, said his constituents
think the place should have a wall
around it because of the type of
prisoners now being sent there.
