Local Teachers With
Victorious Directors
At State Conference
Various Features Of Proposed Civil Service Measure
Eliminated Following Lively Session; Waterbury
Delegates Specialists Lord Retires

by the association at the next ses-
sion Of the state legislature In 1887.
In brief the bill states that an edu-
cational employee may be discharged
only after a hearing by the local
board Of educat ton, which must re-
ceive written charges for dismissal
signed by the person filing charges
with the board. 1t also provides a
six months notice in cases of dis
charge for inefticiency and one
months notice for any other reason.
e. Ward ireland, chairman Of the
tenure committee, disclosed some Of
the answers received to question
naires which had been set to teach
ers in all parts Of the state and the
answers revealed the fact that the
most common reasons for discharge
were economy, marriage, residences
out Of town, school board dislikes
and politics.
Commissions
One Of the provisions Of the bill
which many believe will do anything
but enhance its chances Of passing
as a law is that which provides for a
commission Of persons from the
teaching profession. Although the
members at the assembly favored a
group of professional men on the
commission it was finally decided to
let the directors reach an agreement
as to the proportion Of teachers and
laymen on the commission.
At meeting last Friday after
noon the Waterbury delegates were
instructed to oppose certain parts Of
the bill, II 1t came up for discussion.
The open discussion did take place
and local delegates were allowed to

vote out several of the objection
able parts. The Waterbury group
was In favor Of striking out q sec
ton of the bill which said that
teachers might be dismissed for
"unprofessional conduct" feeling
that this provision could result In a
teacher being dismissed for any rea-
son the board Of education could
conjure up. They also opposed the
five year installment plan which was
to provide for reeappointment OF
teachers every five years. Both
these measures were eventually
taken out Of the bill. .t

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY


Linda Bourne, 20 years old,
pretty, is left almost penniless by
the sudden death of her father.
Peter Gardiner, newspaper re-
porter, helps her get a job writ
irg society news. Linda is in love
with Dix Carter, but he goes
abroad to study singing. When
Peter asks her to marry him she
agrees, but postpones the we'd
ding.
Honey Harmon, film star,
comes to Newton, making a per
sonsl appearance" tour. Peter
goes to interview her and sells her
a scenario written by Linda. Peter
turns down a job IN Hollywood,
but when Linda receives an offer
there she accepts.
In Hollywood no one pays any
attention TO Linda until one day,
in a conference, she suggests that
Cooper Venell, an actor, has been
miscast. She is quoting Peter,
though no one knows this.
NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XII
For two months Linda, had spent
the days since her arrival in Hol-
lywood sitting with her feet on
the pullcd-out drawer of her desk,
idly reading old scripts. At lunch
time she had found a secluded ia
bic in the Commonwealth lunch
room, then wandered over the
lots, watching the making Of pic
lures and going back to write gay
little letters to Pete in which she
pictured herself as Alice in Won
derland. Studio life was fasci-
mating to watch, but Linda had
been bored.
Then came that fatcful day Of
the conference. Linda had been
invited out of courtesy. Dlrec-
tors, producers and writer's had
met to discuss the falling stars,
the pictures that were not good
"boX-ofGicc," and out Of it all had
come one suggestion from the UNI
known Linda Bourne. And a fall
ing star had become once more
a brilliant possibility.
Linda was no longer bored.
The studio had bought Myron's
"Life Of Keats" and they were
already at work on the picture for
Cooper Ncncll. He put aside his
gunssahis caps, his turtle-neck
sweateTMsanH his gangster roles.
He h Keats. The rushes

and told him more than she
thought. Pete knew he had lost
her, and pride kept him from In
rtuding into the life she had made
for herself.
Pete put himself into his play.
And one day it was done and he
sent it to New York.
Linda was in Hollywood Is
months before she met Basil
Thorne. Not that she didn't know
him by name. Or by reputation.
Thorne was the director who had
made the great money-making
musicals. His pictures had brought
new medium to picture making.
Extravaganzas, they were like
their creator. Dazzling, gargan-
tuan, filled with contrasts, roman
tic, worldly and incredible.
Linda met Basil Thornc at
Honey Harmon's bungalow at
Malibu. She drove down with
Cora Jarrett, editor of a movie
fan magazine.
"Maybe you'll like him, and
maybe you won't. Most women
do" Cora, speaking Of Thorne,
said to Linda. at would be hard
to describe him. | don't know
whether he is a cad or a gentle
man. / don't even know whether
he is ugly or handsome. He's that
kind. Most women are crazy
about him, but maybe it's Just

of blends now.
"Cyclc of blonds?" Linda asked.

"Your hostess, will do" Cora
answered. owe all know Honey

let her get the idea that she has
anything to do with your success.

at isn't anybody at all. No
romances. All work" Linda
wanted Cora to get her mind off
the subject. Cora was a Holly
woodite and she could use any in
formation herself. Not that Linda
had any to give her. There had
been no romance in her life, un-
less she counted Pete, and after
so many months that was so re-
mote that Linda forgot most of
the things she thought she would
olways remember about him. She
thought of him now, and missed
him suddenly. Not because he
