AGAINST MARRIED TEACHERS. Decision of the Board of Public School Teachers After a Warm Discussion. VEMALE TEACHERS WHO MARRY MUST RESIGN OR BE DROPPED—VARIOUS CHANGES IN TEACHER- SHIPS—THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS—ELECTION OF OFFICERS, There was an interesting discussion at the Meeting of the school board last evening. It involved the question of the marriage of female school teachers, and the decision reached may besaid to have a bearing on one phase at leat of the much debated problem of whether marriage is a failure. The discussion was based upon a report from the committee on high and normal schools, presented by Rev. Mr. Grimke. The report was as follows: “Recommended that C. D. Wilder-Harris and 8. J. Cox-Peters, who are now married, be Gropped, to take effect December 31, 1889, Promote L, Cook from seventh grade to posi- tion of training teachor in the normal school of the seventh and eighth divisions, at a salary of €% per annum, vice U. D. Wilder-Harris, dropped, to take eifect January 1,1890. Promote 4. Taylor from fourth grade to position of practice teacher in the normal school of the seventh and eighth divisions,at a salary of 3700 r annum, to take effect January 1, vice 8. J. Peters, dropped.’ BEV. MR. GRIMKZ EXPLAINS. Rev. Mr. Grimke was the only membor of the committee whose name was attached to the re- port and he prefaced its presentation by ex- plaining why he alone represented the com- mittee. Mr. Darlington, he said, was no longer a member of the committee, as he had resigned from the school board, while Mr. Ross, the other member, had been called from the city, He said, however, that in talking over the matter with Mr. Koss the latter had ap- proved the action recommended in the report, and he had no doubt if he was in the city that he would sign the report. He had also con- sulted Mr. Darlington and the latter had agreed With him in this matter and had advised him that the action proposed to be taken was en- tirely legal; that the board made no contract with the teachers and it was optional with the board whether they should continue to employ teachers or not. Mr. Grimke added that it had been customary for years in the schools of the seventh and éighth divisions (the colored schools) to accept the resignations of female teachers in the event of their marriage at the end of the term in which the marriage took | place. IF SHE HAD KNOWN SHE WOULDN'T HAVE MAR- RIED. Doubt was expressed by Mr. Whelpley whether the marriage of a teacher was a sufficient rea- son for dismissal, He knew of teachers, and very efficient ones, in the other six divisions who were married, and he did not think that marriage in itself was 2 good reasou for dis- pensing with the services of a teacher. He said that one of the teachers mentioned in the report had called upon him and suid that she expected to resign at the end of the school | ear, but that if she had known that she would | lose her position before that time she would not have married. Mr. Grimke said that one of the teachers had also calied upon him before her marriage and he bad informed her of the custom and told her exactly what she might expect. He added that | he was of the opinion the custom was a good one, and he thought that the interests of the schools required its strict enforcement, He had seen in otker places the unfavorable effects upon the public schools of the retention of married teachers, FRIENDS OF THE MARRIED TEACHERS. Prof. Gregory and Dr. Witmer raised the question whether a report brought in by one member of the committee could properly be considered a report of that committee. The former observed that in the county schools which were under his supervision they em- ployed married teachers. and he was of the opinion that marriage alone was not a sufficier:$ reason for dismissing a teacier. He thought that in this case the record of “dropped” wat hardly a just one to be made in the case of teachers Who had given faithful services to the schools. He understood that these teachers were willing to resign at the end of the school ear. 7 ‘The custom said to prevail in such cases in the colored schools was approved by Mr. Cor- nish. the trustee for these divisious,and by Sup- erintendent Cook of the colored schools. The former said that it was impossible to provide places for all the graduates of the normal school, as was done in the other six divisions, i their places that it resulted in preventing some graduates from securing a teachership. For this reason, as well as the one referred to by Mr. Grimke, be was in favor of the report. ASKED TO RESIGN BUT WOULDN’r. It was developed in the conrse of the discus- sion that the resignation of those teachers had been asked for, but they had refused to hand them in and so the only course was to drop them from the rolls. Mr. Grimke said that he understood that the teachers had tuken legal advice as to the powor of the board to drop them from the rolls. in the opinion of Mr. Mitchell the judgment of the local trustee, the superintendent of the colored schools and the representative of those schools on the high and normal schoo! commit- tee ought to be a sufficient guide for the action of the board. He believed that they ought to be sustained in this matter. Mr. Whelpley favored postponing the decis- ion of the question until the next meeting. In reply to —< Mr. Grimke said the custom referred to in the colored schools ap- _ only to female teachers and not to le achers. The board, when the question was put to a Vote, adopted the report as offered by Mr. Grinke. CHANGES IN TEACHERSHIPS was the next subject considered by the board and among others Prof. Gregory submitted the nomination of Mrs. Ida Richardson as a substitute teacher for the Mott building. Vidow, I suppose?” inquired Mr. Mitchell, 0,” replied the protessor, as he looked sround at the smiling faces of his associates, “she is married.” The committee on teachers submitted the following report, which was adopted: Appoint Miss Mabel Crampton, fifth grade, second division, teacher vice Miss Drury, re- signed. Appoint Miss Grace Humbert,’ first grade, third division, in place of Miss Sheed, Wausferred to first division, Seventh aud eighth divisions—Tranafer B. W. Wertz from third to fourth grade at a salary of $650; S. H. Reed from first to third grade at @ salary of $550; E. N. Sewall from first to third ade ‘at a salary of Appoint L. M. Wikier to first grade at # salary of £400; Jane M. Taylor to first grade at salary of $400. All totake effect January 1, 1890. uit leave of absence without pay on account of sickness to 3. E. Thomas from January 1 to June 30, 1490, THE REPORT OF THE SUPERIXTENDENTS of the white and colored schools showed that the total enrollment of pupils during the month of November was 33,474, and the average daily attendance was 29,731. Of this latter number 18,987 were white and 10,794 were colored. THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS. A request signed by “Many Pupils” of the Washington high school was presented by Mr. Whelpley in the absence of Mr. Ross, who had been called away from the city by the death of his wife’s mother. They asked that Monday, December 23, be made a holiday. The Uhrist- mas holiday in the public schools begins with Tuesday, the day before Christmas, and contin- ues until January 2. The petitioners stated that the granting of this holiday would be a convenience to the teachers and scholars who might wish to spend Chrietmas away from the city. Superintendent Powell was asked to give his views as to the advisability of granting this request. In response he said that the same uestion had come up at the last meeting of the board of supervising principais and the unanimous decisionewas reached that the re- juest ought not to begranted. Superintendent Powell said that he fully concurred in this de- cision. In his opinion the school year was now short enough and there are enough holida’ which are liable to be increased each year by unforeseen causes, Superintendent Cook agreed with Mr. Powell, but Mr. Mitchell said that he was young once himself, and after a holiday h@waa more earn- estin study. The’ other members of the board, however, sided with the superintendents, and 80 the request was not granted. An announcement from Supt. Powell was read which stated thatalecture to teachers would be delivered by Edward E. Hartwell, M. D., Ph.D., of Johus Hopkins university in the lecture room of the high school building on Thursday at 3 p.m. on the nature of physicul training and the best means of securing its end. The proposition to donato to the District a in the addition to Brookland for @ public school building was referred to the trustees of the county schools. A communication from the District Commis- sioners announcing the resignation of J. J. Darlington as member of the board and the ap- pointment of A. 8. Solomons was read, ELECTION OF OFFICERS, The annual election of officers of the board was held. On motion of Dr. Witmer Mr. Ross was unanimously re-clected president of the board and J. G. Gurley secretary. ———-_.

Panic in a Johnstown Theater Kills Twelve People. Johnstown furnishes another terrible dis- aster. During a performance of “Uncle Tom's Cabin” at the opera house there last night a ery of fire was raised resulting in a terrible rush down the narrow stairs. Twelve persons were instantly killed and many terribly in- jured. Among the killed are Mrs, Nestor and George Fleishour, the latter being a resident of Baltimore. It was found necessary to turn a stream of water on the crowd from a fire en- gine standing near before the dead and wounded could be taken out, People rushed from the outside up the narrow stairs and were crushed by the crowd forcing its way to the street. Seventy-five persons were injured. The following were killed: E. Bigler, Miss Clara Burns, Mrs. Nestor, George Horner, Charles Fraint, George Stonaker of Mount Pleasant, Pa.; John Caul, William Miller, colored, G. Fieishour, Isaac Folor, Lizzie Clay- comb and an unknown woman, ‘The performance was drawing to an end in the Main street opera house when the fire bell Was run. causing a frantic scramble for the exit. There were 500 or 600 men, women and children in the hali and to gain the street it was necessary to pass down a narrow walled-up staircase and through a very narrow door. The people from the streets rushed into the door trom the outside and many were crushed before they could be forced out. Among the seriously injured were Charles Vaughn, Albert Owens andaman named Weimer. There are about thirty others injured, but their names cannot be ascertained, The alarm was taise and there are many threats against the unknown man who started it. The opera house has been only open a few weeks, having been wrecked by the flood. ses An Important Decision. A conductor on the Atchisou, Topeka & Sante Fe road directed D, Lindley to climb on op of the car and signal for the front portion of the train to be backed up, and the engineer suddenly threw open the throttle and started the cars with so much force as to pitch the laintiff head foremost down upon the track, Lindley sued for $200,000 damages and ob- tained a judgment for $9,833. The supreme court has decided that the order of the con- ductor to go on top of the cars and help signal wasentirely without the routine of his duties, and as it was voluntarily obeyed by Lindley it could not fasten any liability on the railroad company. ——+oo-—__. Schools Closed to Honor a Defaulter. Nearly all the public schools in Milwau- kee were closed Monday afternoon by order of Superintendent Anderson in honor of A. H, Schattenberg, the secre- tary of the school board, who killed himself Saturday morning after the story of his defalca- tion was made pnblic. The reason assigned by Superintendent Anderson for his strange ac- tion was that he wished the teachers to have an ‘opportunity to attend the funeral. A storm of imdiguation has arisen which is steadily growing in volume. A resolution signed by five of the members of the board strongly rep- rimanding Superintendent Anderson was read in the board meeting last night. A warm de- bate followed and the resolution was finally tabled, the majority holding that the superin- tendent’s action had been taken out of sympa- thy for the bereaved family, ———20e An English Syndicate Disappointed. A dispatch from Eau Claire, Wis, says tho deal in regard to the lands of the Canadian an- thracite coal co., which were to have been sold to an English syndicate, is said to be off. The syndicate offered $350,000, but the company’s price was $1,500,000. ‘The Englishmen had an option on the plant of the company and paid $3,000 on it. -—__—_—+e0—_____ A Million Under a Sidewalk. A ten-year-old child of a widow named Godfrey brought tothe St. Paul police head- quarters Monday a cash box that bad evi- dently been broken open and which the mother said had been found by her daughter under the sidewalk near their home. The box had a label ““W. W. Harris@m,” while on one end was affixed a label bearing the figure “4.” The contents consisted almost entirely of docu- ments, the most important of which was the will of the late millionaire Thos, A. Harrison of Minneapolis, which was stolen some months ago. It bears date of March 7, 1835, and is attested by J. M. Williams, H. E. Harrison and W. P. Mealey, all of Minueapolis, The will was inciosed in an envelope addressed to “W. H.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreiga, | LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MOKN- ING PAPERS. This ts conspicuously true of all classee of news, but expeciallyso in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR bas a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL KE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORBS THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. Itis therefore able to print each day a full Feport of every transaction of public in= Serest occurring in the District up te the very hour of going to press. —:0:—_ By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAR AND SPECIAL DIs- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to g! fits readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o'clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. —2—— Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own office to the general network of telegraph | system touching every city, town and | hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day auywhere between the Atiantic and Pee cilic Uceans. —:0:—— @@ NOTE THE RESULT: 29 —0:— THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRILGERS and MORE THAN VIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is do- Mvered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE TAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it,in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothingelse. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STARK does not rely upon empty boasts to imprest the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which tew papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. —10:— & The esteem in which THE STAR fs held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fige ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average daily cir- culation of the paper was: In 1885. large increase in both departments of the paper’s business, need po comment. ‘They tell the story of public confidence and demonstrate in the plainest manner possible that THE STAR IS THE RE-
