: 6 MAY 30, 1925 BILL PROVIDES LONGER TENURE FOR TEACHERS A well-known. attorney, who is a member of the board of education in a small city in central Illinois, recently appeared before the Committee on Education of the state Senate to make a plea for the enactment of a law to permit boards of education to employ teachers for more than a year at a time. He said: "If the people who elect me to the board think I have sense enough to serve for three years after one election, they surely believe I have sense enough to hire a teacher for three vears. Can anybody explain why teachers, principals and superintend- ents should be chosen three times as frequently as board members, or why their terms should be only one-third as long?" After hearing this board member and several others interested, the sen- ate committee recommended a bill, providing that boards of education may hire teachers, principals and su- perintendents for one, two or three years, and may discharge them in the period of employment for proved cause. The bill has passed the Senate and has gone to the House committee . for consideration. If such a law is enacted, it will per- mit boards of education to try out slightly longer periods of employment of teachers, and will help them avoid the annual scramble for teaching posi- tions and the annual worry in some places caused by the machinations to get such positions even if good teach- ers have to be displaced. And surely a more permanent tenure would be good for both teachers and pupils. Several states and cities have al- ready much stringent tenure laws than is proposed in the bill, and have ceased to consider their teachers as itinerant pedagogues. A tenure law was enact- ed for Chicago in 1917, which already places about 27 per cent of Illinois teachers under practically permanent tenure. This is one of the attractive features that are drawing many good teachers from the annual-contract territory into Chicago. Several of the down-state boards would like to have the privilege of hiring teachers for two or three years if they wish to do so.

WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOTED PIANIST ON ~~ NEXT ARTIST-RECITAL (Continued from Page 1) personal contact Brailowsky is gentle, courteous and unassuming. He speaks excellent English. One secret of his great charm is his magnetic personality. In appearance he fulfills the old ro- mantic traditions. In a day when most musicians cultivate a matter of fact appearance trying to look like bank clerks, this young Russian appears with Edward Johnston the mien of a "pale poet," Chopinesque, aloof, slight of build, with long beauti- ful hands and unruly hair that tumbles over his eyes. He is in fact a roman- ticist preferring to play Chopin, Schu- mann and Liszt, but above all Chopin. The first of next year's series of artist-recitals will be given by Edward Johnson, famous Metropolitan tenor, on October 12. Detailed comment re- garding Mr. Johnson's career, appeared in a recent issue of WINNETKA TALK. Motor Company Announces Reduction in Hup Prices The Hanson Motor Company, agents for the Hupmobile, received a telegram this week announcing a reduction in the price of the eight-cylinder models.

Bill and Sammy should know, because they have had a recent and disillusioning experience. Bill is a reporter who "covers" the north shore for this paper and Sammy is a photographer who fumes whenever he is sent out to take pictures in that district, which happens occasionally. Their troubles began when they were given a slip Wednesday afternoon by Motorcycle Policeman Peter Schaefer for a traffic violation. They were on their way to Lake Forest to take some pictures, and agreed to stop in at the court of Police Magistrate D. M. Mickey on their return. As they were driving back toward Wilmette thev were asked for a ride by a "ragged stranger" who asserted that he hadn't enough money to get to Chicago, where he was awaited eagerly by his dying mother, who sim- ply couldn't pass out without his as- sistance. Both of the newspaper men were touched, being the kind of boys who would give you the shirts off their backs, as the saying goes, anyway. They told him to hop in--that they would take him to his dying mother, pausing "only at Wilmette to get a "story" from Magistrate Mickey. When they arrived at the Village hall the pair left the stranger in their car, while they appeared in court at the behest of Mr. Schaefer. At the height of the trial Sammy bethought him of his camera, which he had left in the car along with his topcoat. It might be a good stunt to take a picture of Bill getting fined, he thought, and im- mediately started to put his scheme into effect. When he reached the car he dis- covered that his new topcoat was miss- ing. So was the stranger, although the camera was safe, having been hid- a curtain over what followed. The local police had their first good laugh since they heard that Sadler (another newspaper man) had fallen down and broken a leg. There were loud and mournful howls which echoed through- out the building--they seemed to come from the court room, they progressed down the stairs and floated back from a Ford moving rapidly eastward across Central avenue. Loud and ribald .aughter came from the police sta- sion. But there was one ray of sun- ,hine in the eastbound Lena--Magis- rate Mickey was so touched by the hight of the amateur samaritans that 1e dismissed the case against Miller. Mrs. George Frazer and Mrs. Ever- ott Harris entertained 120 guests at a musicale and tea on Wednesday of last week, at the Sunset Ridge Golf club. den under the rear deck.
