The wets aren’t banking very heavily on getting prohibition modified in the next Congress. they’d like to win, but all they really hope for is a larger wet bloc than they have at present. Their theory is that this would scare the middle grounders so badly that they could score a clean-cut victory in 1928. A gain of about 20 congressional votes next November will suit them. What they want is to sweep aside all other po- litical questions and to elect wets as wets and beat drys as drys—the same policy, reversed, that the drys have found so successful. Married Teachers Married teachers are being dropped i “The action was taken because the supply of teachers is getting beyond the demand, and we believe the positions should be kept open for teachers who are not married. “This action was in no way taken because of efficiency reasons. We believe that married women are as capable of teaching as are the single ones—some of our best teachers haye been married women. “For years it has been our policy not to employ married teachers. The action taken the other day is a formal announcement of _ this policy because of the numerous appli- cations for positions we receive from mar- ried women. The ruling will not apply to widows.” : This is a fair statement of conditions that con- front school boards the nation over. now is to afford places for the teachers rather than e In one state it is reported that 1,400 qualified unmarried school teachers are without positions and the fear is expressed by some educators that unless graduates are placed, a dearth of teachers will result in a few years because of slow employment. mare Surpasses All Statisties just issued | paring the daily temperatures with those in Minne- sota, Wisconsin, and Iowa, and several mid-western states, the temperature on the Missouri Slope is ‘usually five to ten degrees warmer on the average. ;Nerth Dakota’s winters are not so severe, in spite’ of the fact that this impression ix so general in the There has heen no need to jleave North Dakota for California or Florida this !winter.
