English Martyr Praised
AT Carroll Society Event

Sir Thomas More, Lord Chan
cellor of England during the reign
of Henry VIII, was praised for
his devotion to the Catholic faith
by Richard O'Sullivan, English
lawyer, here yesterday.
Mr.. O'Sullivan, speaking at a
communion breakfast of the John
Carroll Society of Washington in
the Mayfiower Hotel, pointed out
that Sir Thomas died for his faith
rather than recognize Henry VIII
as head of the Catholic Church.
II die for the Holy Catholic
Faith, the Kings good servant,
but Gods first" Sir Thomas told
Henry VIII on the scaffold. Sir
Thomas, executed in 1885, was
canonized in 1885.
William B. Jones, society secre-
tary, was toastmaster. The Rev.
Philip M. Hannah, chancellor of
theS Washington Archdiocese, was

Washington audience.
Sole Surviving Founder.
It's narrator was Leigh Mitchell
Hodges of Doylestown, Pa, sole
surviving founder of the tubercu-
losis Seal sale. He spoke in the
auditorium of the Washington Gas
Light Co.. for a rally of $50 volun-
teers who will man Christmas Sea-
booths in the District for the 1851
drive.
Mr.. Hodges became interested
in the possibilities of a STAMP
sale for tubercular victims as the
result of an appeal by Miss Emily
Bissell. He persuaded his news
paper. the North American, to
promote a local campaign in 1907.

was needed then for a local emer-

Mr.. Hodges told how National

Millions of Americans have made

tut the tuberculosis death rate in
he United States from 13O per

Among the recommendations

salaries, and the granting OF
REASONABLE" leave of absence
and other fringe" benefits.
2. A reduction in the maxi
mum number of children in any

8. A higher ratio of teachers
trained outside the District.
4. A higher ratio of probation
ary appointments to temporary
appointments and longer proba-
tionary period.

5. The separation of the ad-
ministration of teachers colleges
from that of elementary and high
schools.
The committees recommended

teachers be continued met with
