Safeguards Recommended to Prevent Political Inc
 fIuence Dominating School Departments

following objectives: to prevent po- litjcal control of the schools; to permit and encourage teachers to devote themselves to their profes- sion; to provide reasonable per- sonal and academic freedom for teachers; 10 encourage competent, public-spIrited teachers to stay in the schools; to discourage school management based on fear and to encourage leadership based on con fidence and understanding; to pre- vent tho discharge of teachers for political, religious, personal. or other unjust reasons and to permit the dismissal of those who are in- competent, unworthy and neRli- gent of their duties and responsi- bilitIes.
 Political Influence
 An exhaustive study of the prob lem has ben made by Donald Du- shane, superintendent of Columbus schools. During the past three years, according to MT Dushane, the seriousness of the financial problems of out public schools has tended to hide the invasion of poll ties into the schools of certain com munities. the increase in tho dis charge of competent experienced teachers or for person friends or relatives of board members, the elimination of important school subjects and activities and tho in- Jection of fear of unjust discharge into the consciousness of teachers.
 MT Dushanc states that in many communities teaching morale is be- ing destroyed and the building of Il teaching profession had been halted. Correspondents from twcn- ty states report n noticeable in- crease in tho discharge of teachers for political reasons. 1t is the pur- pose of tenure to protect schools
