New York Woman Teacher, About to Become a Mother, Asserts Rights Board of Education Wants to Discharge Her From Schools, But She is Determined to Fight-- Privilege of Motherhood Barred From Teachers in New York Schools. New York.

Mrs Wagner is a very slight woman a little under five feet hlx inches In height, with a cheeriness of manner and a charm that perhaps give her unusual fl us lift nations as a teacher. She has deep blue »• es and brown hah* and a small, ncntltive mouth and nose. Will Keep Up Fight. “This stand I am taking I regret very much person-illy," said the little woman after she had returned from her school and wiit on the big veranda of her Tot tonvlUe bungalow. “Hut I feel that the time has come when a definite stand must !>« taken by some woman teacher, and It must be main t.dried until the privilege of motherhood is not baYred to the woman teaeln* In our public schools. If the Hoard of Kducntlon thinks I will back down in my fight It Is very much mistaken. 1 will work until the mother erbood 1s not barred to the woman teacher In our public school*.

You may be assured the step I am taking is personally most dis tasteful, but, as 1 to. , you in a former u tter.

Times Right Now That We Never Saw Before May We Never See Them Again. This is the sentiment of perhaps every person in this United States today. Con ditions today are even worse in some re spects than a month ago—worse for one reason at least, and that is that we know that WAR IS GOING TO LAST. The liv ing question, the question of Clothing the family—all have to be faced as the cold weather approaches and at a time when money is not so plentiful as in times past. Money should not be spent simply to buy things as in the past—Every person should take time to consider in making purchases these days and buy where the dollar spent will buy the most—WE DON’T MEAN CHEAP MERCHANDISE—NO! NO! You’re wasting good money to buy cheap goods, but when you can come to a store like this and buy the very highest grade of merchandise at the prices we are selling it at—THEN YOU SHOULD AT LEAST INVESTIGATE.
