Saturday, May 1, 1937 Teachers' Tenure Bill Before Lehman HE teachers' tenure of office bill, which was widely discussed when it was introduced earlier in the year, has been passed by the Legislature and is now before Governor Lehman awaiting his signature to become a law. The bill was amended from its original provision, by which it would have gone into effect July 1. As adopted by the Legislature, the bill will go into effect in 1938. This change was made to give superintendents and boards of edu- ation a year's time in which to weed out undesirable teachers. Others who have served three years or more will be given a civil service status under the law. Instead of having their con- tracts renewed from year to year, hey will be given permanent posi- Homs and may be charges. Teachers at the conference of the First and Second Supervisory Dis- removed only on tricts at Valley Stream yesterday ex- pressed pleasure at the adoption of the bill and planned a campaign to induce Governor Lehman to sign it. Their gratitude at the prospect of the bill becoming a law is understand- whle. It will give to teaching jobs in Nassau County the stability and per- manence enjoyed by teachers in the New York City school system. They will be encouraged to estab- lish homes near their jobs and plan for the future with some confidence of steady employment. 'They will not be subject to political changes in the Board of Education of their district, or to the whims of any faction or in- dividual whose illwill they may incur, or who may covet their job.

Each year Upstate judges spend several months sitting in Nassau, helping the County court keep up with the docket. These judges do not work for nothing. Probably they do not cost as much as a full-time County Judge, but neither is the system of borrowing judges as satisfactory and it becomes less satisfactory~as the Court's work increases. Two counties in the State with larger populations than Nassau-Westchester and Erie-still have only one County Judge. The others have more. New York County has nine, Kings, 5; Bronx, 8; Queens, 2; and Munroe, 2. It is only a question of time until Nas- sau will be forced to demand a second County Judge and the need will be so great partisan objections will not be sufficient to block it.

They were engaged in an animated discussion and didn't see the older couple as they came along. 'But failing eyeright is no recommenda- tion for youth or alibi for rudeness. It hasn't been very long ago when we used to stand with crowds of boys discussing weighty projects with much enthusiasm. We have known these conferences to come to a sudden halt when some boy sighted an older person or groups of per- sons coming along the street. A poke in the ribs was a signal for everybody to move over and every hat to come off. The older people smiled appreciatively at the thoughtfulness and courtesy of the boys and passed on to report to their parents and neighbor what manly young fellows they were. If this represented youth's attitude in a generation when it was still believed that \children should be seen and not heard,\ we can trace no adverse psychological hang-overs to that doctrine. There is an appeal about ordinary good manners that does not escape the crudest or noisiest individual. Upon a time it was not a mark of distinction, although the age may come when it is.

Kniffin if * Better Leadership for Youth Asked by Hempstead Reader @ Editor, Nassau Daily Review-Star: Time marches on. Youth, too, marches on. Their destiny, for- tune-lot-doom? Young peopleare not perfect or nearly perfect, they are in the times of a complex process; they | are on their way. Some are bound to arrive somewhere. 'Too many of them will reach avery sad destination. Youth is as youth was. Essen- tially, young people have not changed. 'Times have changed, and every activityof our society has speeded up. Except the edu- cational systems, where up-to-date consideration of today's youth ac- cording to their place in modern society is appallingly neglected. There has been much counsel- ing of the young men respecting this world. But what of counsel~ ing the world in respecting our youth? The youngster is the fu- ture incarnate of our civilization. Our youth of the nation are the trustees of posterity. Youth to- day brings to its serious charge the same high hopes, the same zest for work, the same will to achieve, the joyous love of life and romance which has charac- terized it since the beginning of time. Our boys and girls have grown up in the belief that America is Frccpofi Ha Plan for C # {it ross - Island for our youth. Unemployment and its relatives arrive suddenly, and for an unwelcome long period. Youth must never be blamed for this. The responsibility is that of the elders, .of course, Dur- ing this hedrt-breaking> struggle young boys and girls must rise in business; unfortunately, fewer and fewer young people find em- ployment witheach passing year. We can understand this. Thus, do we clearly see a portrait of the American youth of today. Youth has been acting of late in ways that are strange and hard for the older generation to com- prehend. , These actions have dis- tressed and annoyed; and the older people have been very free with their criticisms and complaints. But their criticisms have seldom been constructive and the com- plaints unreasonable and unfair. And youth, responding normally to the conditions with which it finds itself surrounded, as youth has always done, has resented the older people's interference, and has left themmore helpless than before. For our youth did not create these conditions. Youth found them ready-made. Youth asks for a fair chance and a fair field. Young America today is 'very restless.

NEWSPAPER-- SATURDAY, MAY O1. 1937. It's Quite Important Too N - % Review-Btar Staff Oariconist presses it plaintively (and rather nobly): \What is one to do? Be- cloud the facts, betray the truth?\ So-with deep regret-he informs the world that \the majority of the masses seem to demand that the court be restricted on declar- ing laws passed by Congress un- constitutional.\ Possibly he is right that the people wis hto discard the entire Constitution, but I am puzzled by one little thing. Mr. Rogsevelt is 1. | England is no more immune to anti- conservative forces than is any other country. It is not readily conceivable, how- ever, that Edward VIII will be a prime force in any evolutionary movement. But his name can be used as a spesr-head in an anti-conservative movement. And the Tories know it. They know, too, that Edward, upon second thought, believes he was pushed out of the kingship deliberately. This belief of Edward's may be brought forth disastrously in some future po- litical contest. The Tories are in a bad spot. 'They wish the coronation were over with. And, worst of all, it comes at a time when they must put through an in- crease in Income taxes to meet re- armament expenses. | This alienates even some of the Conservatives. plcer) -BTILL WORSE!-- The worst, however, is yet to come. Edward is to wed Mrs. Simpson. And that will be of greater human in- terest than the coronation. Edward-who will remain Edward to the mass of British people rather than the Duke of Windsor-will see to that. In short, Edward will have the last say -and will steal the show. The British people, no less than the , American, will enjoy it. They may shout for an American New Deal. And that, if we may say so, will be very annoying to the Tories. Blast it, very annoying! # ® + -MORE PAPER MONEY?- The suggestion is made that the planning to awhub § supposed to be an expert on what the \masses fi‘ and N‘ mxmu—mnfmzlm‘! when he was speaking in the elec- tion campaign just a short time ago he carefully refrained from promising to satisfy this \demand\ of the \majority.\ Was he so desperately afraid of being re- elected that he did all in his power to avoid such an unfortu- nate event? How about it, Mr. Eichel? And in explaining this, please remember, Mr. Eichel, no beclouding of the facts, no be- trayal of the truth! E. D. WILLIAMS, April 28, 1937. Malverne, L.

OUT—a CHILDREN: BY ANGELO PATRI Bonn SPECIAL NEEDS ONVENTIONAL _ forms | are - useful things. They save time and worry. One does not hav@ to stop and think about what to do or how to do it if convention has set the form. That is fine if there is room left for the exceptions. And when one is dealing with human children there are always exceptions, If one believes that education is vital only when it is accepted by the individual who is being educated, the exceptions come thick and fast. Sooner or later a child deviates from the usual form, It may be but slightly; it may be widely. And in be- tween the extremes of variation there are differences that must be regarded if the child is to get the best out of his growing time. Patents are afraid to have their children show differences between themselves and other children when the differences make them appear inferior. It is all right if the difference sets them apart as geniuses, but it is all wrong if they -mark them a trie less proficient in any accepted activity, All children are supposed to get not only a passing mark in every subject, but to shine in every subject, because some children do shine in that way. \Why can't you study bard and get a hundred like Lou?\ STUDY MAY NOT HELP STUDYING rarely ev The difference, if ally lies deeper.
