The ruling, which was at the rejuest
of Dr. Ballou, sets at rest th
ipprehension which haa prevailed in
ichool quarters for some time over the
juestlon of whether a leave of absence
egally constituted a discontinuance of
tervice. This question was debated at
i recent meeting of the board of educaion.
with the result that the superinendent
was Instructed to request the
ontroller general for^c ruling.
Calls Ruling Important.
Dr. Ballou characterised the ruling
is "a very important and outstanding

his measure was on the calendar of

of this committee will be

Rating Plan Proposed.
The special committee on teachers'

econimended to the council that a

'SENATR1X' IS PREFERRED |
Writer Thinks Women EightyNine
Has Zncorrect Title.
Te the Utter et The SUr:
I have been a student ot Latin and
it seems queer to me that no one as
yet has objected to the term "senator"
as applted to an elghty-nlneyear-old
woman.
The ending for" signifies something
masculine. The corresponding ending
is "trla."
Therefore I should call a "woman
senatef a senatrlx.
