pBX M'HENRY PLAINDEALER, THURSDAY, FIB. H 1927 Advised by die Principal Br JANE OSBORN (Copyright.) MART DAWSON went timidly Into the principal's room to sign the time chart that first day of her career as teacher In Public School No. 78. As •be approached the table a young man drew back to let her precede him. "Thank you," said Mary, and as she tooked at him all she noticed was that bt had red hair. "I didn't know there were any men -teachers here," she observed at recess to one of the younger teachers whom she met In the playground. "I saw one when I was^slgnthg In this'morning --young--with red hair--what grade fee* he teach?*' "That's Dick Mendham -- teaches eighth-grade boys. There are three Of 'em--If you call 'em men--never seen like real men to me. But they have to have em to teach the big boys." Later Mary Dawson realised that this young woman's attitude toward the men teachers at No. 78 was characteristic of the attitude of the other . ifconien teachers there. ."V^After Mary had been teaching for ® month or more Miss Graham, the principal, asked her to stop In her office after school to see about report cards. It was a small matter soon arranged and then Miss Graham asked Mary to sit down and have a little chat. Miss Graham asked Mary bow she liked her work. Mary said she liked to teach, though she was doing it to make a living." "I'll give you a piece of advice," said Miss Graham, who was fifty. *»Snap out of it as soon as you can. Once the system gets you it will be hard to get out. You'll put otT the idea of marriage because every year you'll look forward to a little more money the next. Then you'll begin to count the years to your retirement with a nice annuity the rest of your life. Now my advice to you Is to marry your best young man soon--before you get obsessed with this idea of yearly increase and eventually, retirement." "But suppose I haven't a young man." said Mary smiling. "Marry the first man that asks you --providing he's decent Don't wait for a man who can guarantee a yearly Increase and an annuity in your old age." -I ll remember what you have said," said Mary with a little blush, and would have said more but Miss Graham Interrupted. "Don't go away," the principal was calling good nataredly--then in an aside to Mary. "There's poor Mr. Mendham--scared off because you're here. Somehow men teachers never seem like real men." Then, raising fcer Tolce: "Come right In, Mr. Mendham. I want to show yon the new repart cards." llarr harried oat of the principal's tingling with a sort of deep re- It wasn't because of what » Graham had said about mar- Undoubtedly she had given I advice. It was because of what had «*ld about Mr. Mendham. herself liked Mr. Mendham and icsij.il L red him. After that Mary took pains to speak «srdial]T to Mr. Mendham when she parri c him in the corridors. It was ahf&rd to snub him. If he wanted to teach In a public school that was Us own affair. One day she was leaving the school at the same time that Mr. Mendham pawed out the teacher's entrance, and because Miss Graham was standing by, Mary waited for him and asked fclm if he would walk with her--since they both went in the same direction. A few days later when he had walked home with her she asked him to come Into tea at her boarding house. It was four 6'cloek and her boardinghouse keeper, who .was an English woman, always had tea in the little parlor! A month later Mary found herself one evening after dinner eagerly waltlng for Dick Mendham, who had invited her to go to the theater with him. Mary wondered why she was so feverishly eager for the time of his arrival to come. Then as she walked beside him and later sat beside him In the subway going to the theater die reflected to herself that he looked much more attractive away from school. And coming back after the theater that night Richard Mendham asked Mary to be his wife. Mary accepted him at once. "I never dreamed that you would hsve me--at least not right sway,' Dick told her, and Mary was wondering how much Miss Graham's advice had had to do with her quick decision. He was the first man who asked her, and she had accepted him. They planned to be married in the summer after school was over and Dick told Mary that he would never consent to her teaching after they were married. He himself was giving up teaching when the summer came. He had a position waiting for him In a schoolbook publishing company and had been teaching for two years to fit himself for this work. His uncle was the president of the concern and wanted someone who knew the public-school system. In June Mary told Miss Graham of b*r engagement. "Not Dick Mendham," said »he, Jfnated. "What made you \ "You did," said Mary, her Mowing. "Ton told me to accept the irst man that proposed. And I want In thank yon for your very good advice."

Conutock No Master of Art of Spelling Anthony Comstock volunteered to assist In educating soldiers while in service in the Civil war and was assigned to teach a class In spelling. After the first session he recorded in his diary the conviction that "they can , be tought" This was not the only instance in which he exhibited lack of proficiency in spelling. A year of service In the War left him still with the Impression that the men to whose preaching he listened so eagerly on Sundays were "chaplins." Army biscuits he knew as "hard tact," and throughout the long years with the Society for the Suppression of Vice he left the blotter of that organization dotted with "ProdeStant" In the space in which the arresting officer was supposed to enter the religious affiliations of his prisoner.--Heywood Broun, in the New York World.
