CHAS. PETERSON AGAINST NEW
LOEB RULE
School Board Trustee Charles Pet
erson came out against the new LOeb
rule last night He said he was in$
favor of doing away with the method-
by which 68 teachers, most of them
competent, were fired from their;
school jobs. "Js
Peterson ia a staunch. Mason. His Jj
change of attitude on the Loeb rulejw
question is supposed to indicate that ri
the Masons are'' beginning to realize
that religious prejudice was used to
further political, ends of members oW
the Loeb rule faction. . C
"I am not in favor of Loeb rule No. 3
2," declared Peterson. "I am for a
more effective way of weeding out
the incompetent teachers. I think
Loeb rule 2 opens the way for greater
evils than it seeks to cure. I am in
favor of repealing the rule or adopt
ing another that will insure perma
nence of position to competent
teachers."
Sup't John D. Shoop, before he left
on the vacation during. which he was
seriously hurt when an auto in which
he was riding turned turtle, made
some recommendations.
Three district superintendents,
fired by operation of the Loeb rule,
snould be retained in the schools sys
tem as principals, he thinks. The
three are Henry Cox, Gertrude Eng- -lish
and Wm. C. Dodge
