CHICAGO, July 19.—When is a
teacher not a teacher?
And the answer to that, boys and
girls, is:
When she isn’t in bed by 8 o’clock
in certain sections of the covereign
state of North Carolina.
When she is discovered playing
cards or dancing out in Iowa.
When she appears in the class
room of schools in several Michigan
communities garbed in knee-length
dress.
The Reason
A teacher isn’t a teacher any
longer under those conditions, be
cause she’s fired.
Just like b-o-o-m stands for pine
apple in Chicago, a c-i-g-a-r-e-t-t-e
(in the mouth of a woman teacher)
stands for dismissal almost any place
you care to mention in these free
and enlightened states called Amer
ica. But it won’t be for long.
Bedtime stories for teachers are
out, according to an ultimatum an
nounced recently by the American
Federation of Teachers’ convention
here. And bobbed hair, dancing,
smoking, attendance at the movies,
latchkeys and, yes, an occasional
cocktail, are in to stay.
“The time has come for teachers
to put thumbs down on the absurd
restrictions that are placed on school
teachers in the backward communi
ties of the nation,” according to Mrs.
Florence C. Hanson, of Chicago,
secretary of the federation.
“It was one of the purposes of the
recent convention to find wavs and
means of bringing these old-fash
ioned communities no to date. Why,
only recently in West Virgnia. a
candidate for the school board
sought the place on the platform
that he would vote for the dismissal
of any teached who did net buckle
her galoshes and wear her skirts to
within at least eight inches of the
ground.
Many Can’t Marry
“Believe it or not, there are some
towns w'here teachers aren’t even al

BENEFIT PARTY
The local Business and Profession
al Women's club entertained Friday
evening with a benefit bridge and
“forty-two” party at the Commu
nity Hall auditorium. Lovely prizes
which .had been donated by the
local business houses were given
many. Pretty decorations lent a hol
iday air to the auditorium. There
lowed to be married. Attendance at
movie theaters is taboo for school
ma’ams in dozens of villages and
towns scattered over the country.
V-necked dresses are not permitted
in other schools, and even silk stock
ings are frowned upon by some
school boards, while a teacher who
is known to smoke stands about as
much chance of holding her job as
a first grade pupil holding down the
president’s desk in the local bank.”
The teachers are armed for the
conflict and they’re going to fight
until the last blue nose is won over,
and until the final bell peals a peal
of victory for terpsichore, habits of
dress and personal taste, Miss Han
son indicated.
“We’re fighting for the principal
of academic freedom for teachers.”
declared Miss Amy Fox, of Minne
apolis, Minn., chairman of the teach
ers’ tenure committee, who intro
duced the anti-blue law for school
ma'ams resolution. “This Includes
personal liberty.
“Our federation now has 209 locals
throughout the country. Our motto
is ‘the schools for democracy and
democracy in the schools.’
“We are asking for only a little
more nrivacv and personal liberty
than the gold fish gets.”
The federation is credited with
being instrumental in raising teach
ers’ salaries, lifting them from the
class of pin money in many sections
to important pay checks, as in New
York and Chicago, where the mini
mum for classroom teachers is $2,000
and $3,500 a year, respectively.
After Personal Liberty
And the federation is on record to
go after the personal liberty matter
in even a more determined way.
The class in educational costumes
and customs will now turn to page
509 in their dictionaries, where it
says:
“Ped-a-gog Cue. N. 1. An Instruc
tor of young people: a schoolmaster;
commonly a oedantic, narrow-mind
ed teacher. 2. class, antiq. A slave
who attended children to school.”

The Mark of
Genuine
■ Aspirin
11 AYER ASPIRIN is like an old
friend, tried and true. There
can never be a satisfactory substi
tute for either one. Bayer Aspirin
is genuine. It is the accepted anti
dote for pain. Its relief may always
be relied on, whether used for the
occasional headache, to head-off a
cold, or for the more serious aches
and pains from neuralgia, neuritis,
rheumatism or other ailments. It's
easy to identify Bayer Aspirin by
the Bayer Cross on every tablet, by
the name Bayer on the box and the
word genuine printed in red.
