TEACHER DECISION

PORTLAND WOMEN'S VIEWS
ON' MARRIED TEACHERS.
It's a good thing- to have a few
married teachers in the ranks of
the teaching staff of Portland.
Teachers who are mothers
know best how to handle chil
dren. "Motherhood leaves of absence"
should not cause faltering: in
action by the Board of Educa
tion. So far as public opinion !
concerned teachers need not
"shoo" Cupid away.
To have a few more mothers
sprinkled through the ranks of the
school teachers of Portland would be
a very good thing to offset the dis
ciplinarian rigors of some possible few
"splendidly regular, icily null" sisters
of the spinsterhood, who. through long,
arduous application to the rod and rule,
have become, perchane, a wee bit
"hardened" or "bitter."
This, In substance, represents the
opinion of some of the leaders in wom
en's circles after viewing the de
cision of Judge Morrow Saturday in
reinstating Maud L. Richards (Mrs.
Oren R. Richards), who was dismissed
several months ago because she mar
ried. Furthermore, should the School Board
find itself face to face with the prob
lem of granting leaves of absence to
any of its married women teachers, it
need not falter in action. These rep
resentative leaders, reflecting public
sentiment, will stand firmly on the
side of motherhood.
Invitation Given Cupid.
Furthermore, if Cupid is lurking
around some of the younger school
marms of Portland, he needn't be shy
of public opinion. There are a great
many mothers Jn town who would
willingly have their offspring taught
by married teachers. In fact, if Cupid
needs a little encouragement there are
plenty of leaders in the Congress of
Mothers and Parent-Teacher circles
who will lend a hand and "tip" off the
School Board that the public hasn't
any objection.
"The ruling of the court, I think. Is
right in the case of Mrs. Richards."
naid Mrs. Aristene Felts, president of
the Oregon Congress of Mothers. "Be
cause a woman is married should not
bar her from teaching unless she has a
young child of her own that needs her
attention. I can readily see that the
home duties in school might conflict,
and in a case of this kind, of course,
the home should come first. There can
be no question that a married woman
has just as clear vision and good in
fluence in handling: children as an un
married one, and in the case where
teachers are mothers the advantage is
often on their side. So far as the
public is concerned, I am sure It is on
the side of the teacher's right to marry
and continue her work if she is effi
cient." Efficiency Placed First.
Mrs. W. J. Hawkins, who is past
president of the Farent-Teacher Asso
ciation and who for 15 years taught
school herself, has decided views on
the subject.
"Efficiency is the first thing to be
considered," said Mrs. Hawkins. "All
other things being equal there is no
justice in barring a teacher just be
cause she marries. Suppose she does
marry in mid-term? When is a teacher
going to have her courtship or choose
her time for marrying, with eight or
nine months of school work, if she
doesn't have the privilege of marrying
in mid-term? Must we restrict mar
riage to vacation periods? We have
numerous men teachers who are mar
ried and provide for their families in
that work. Except for certain exigen
cies, a woman Is as well fitted to con
tinue her teaching as men are. Fur
thermore, it is to be expected married
teachers will become mothers in some
instances. In these I most certainly
believe the School Board would be per
forming a public duty and performing
the public's bidding. In granting neces
sary leave of absence. ' When the time
comes that she can return to school
work and retain her efficiency without
sacrificing the duties of the home,
there is no just reason for debarring
her.
Mother Held Natural Teacher.
In the case of mother-teachers I fa
vor them heartily, when other condi
tions are met. A woman who knows
motherhood undoubtedly knows how to
handle and teach. 6he is the natural
and original teacher. Certainly mother
teachers can understand what, perhaps,
unmarried teachers cannot in children.
I do not say all teachers should be
married, but when the mother Instinct
makes Itself manifest in the teacher,
it should not he curbed. If a court
of justice or a School Board could
understand the beauties of motherhood
there would be no question ng this.
There are some teachers who have de
voted their lives faithfully to teach
in ar and have excluded all lse.
"Some of these have gone through
It without becoming bitter or hardened
or unresponsive to children's appeals
and their needs. But on the other hand,
pome few become rigorous, so to speak.
Surely to have married teachers in the
ranks is a blessing to offset this other
influence. The married teachers whom
I know discharge their duties most ad
mirably, especially those who are
mothers."
Mrs. Isaac Swett, president of the
Portland Council of Jewish Women,
says:
"I can see no reason for disuallfy
lng a teacher because Bhe marries and
I believe the court action will be up
held by everyone. I believe, further
more, there should be no argument or
bickering over "policy' in granting
leaves of absence to married teachers
when good and sufficient cause is
shown. And, I believe also the posi
tion should be held open for her until
the time comes when she can resume
her school work, if she has devised a
proper way of attending to her home
duties."

DIES IN FIRE
Frank Billyer's Body Found in
Ruins of His Home.
THREE OF FAMILY ESCAPE
Firemen Do Not Know Owner Is In
Lake-Street House Destroyed In
Early Morning Smoking in
Bed Possible Cause.
When the fire which stripped a story
and a half dwelling at 678 Lake street
shortly after S o'clock yesterday morn
ing was extinguished, the charred body
of Frank Billyer. 60 years old. was dis
covered In the skeleton of twisted Iron
and springs that had been his bed. The
ashes were taken charge of by Deputy
Coroner Smith, and funeral arrange
ments will be made today.
Mr. Billyer. who was a retired la
borer and owned his home and the
property where he lived, slept alone in
a small room, fashioned in the attic of
his modest residence. His wife and
two children slept below. Mr. Billyer
received no warning of the fire, the
exact origin of which is not known,
and had no chance to escape from the
flames which surrounded his bed.
Flnm Do Net Knw.
The firemen, of Engine Company No.
6 did not know when they arrived that
there was anyone in the burning build
ing: but. had they been aware of the
presence of Mr. Billyer. they could not
have saved him, for the upper part of
the dwelling was a mass of swirling
flames.
The fire was first seen by a watch
man at the nearby crematory. He tele
phoned in the alarm. The blaze was
then creeping around the chimney,
covering an area about four feet
square.
There are two assumptions as to the
origin of the fire. One Is that the
chimney, which was of terra cotta, was
defective, and that sparks In a crevice
had smouldered until the shingles
caught fire. The other is that Mr.
Billyer may have been responsible for
the fire, because of a habit he Is known
to have had of smoking in bed.
Clear Held Possible Cans.
A carelessly thrown match or imoul
dering cigar stub might have been the
cause, according to Fire Captain
BlaugnerDacK.
Mr. Billyer Is said to have been a
former employe of the Western Clay
Manufacturing Company, but to have
been retired for some time. His widow
was hysterical and could only moan,
"My man. my man." while neighbors
tried to comtort her.
The house, which was only partially
insured, was a total loss.
Patrolman H. S. Van Valkenburgh
was one of the first to enter the struc
ture after the fire had been quenched
and found the body of Mr. Billyer.

RUSSIAN NURSE BACK
Miss Helen Northwood in Port
land En Route to Home.
NO THRILLS EXPERIENCED
New York Girl Declares Red Cross
Garb Is Open Sesame Every
where and Gratltau of
Wounded Is Extraordinary.
Miss Helen Northwood. 14 years old
and striking tn appearance. Is In Port
land, fresh from the Russtan battle
front, where for eight months she
served In the Red Cross corps stationed
at the Russian hospital In Kiev. Mlaa
Northwood. who Is a New York girl,
arrived In Portland Friday on the Amer
ican bark John Fna from Kobe, Japan,
and today she will go before the United
States Immigration officials, make her
peace with them, and proceed on the
way to her home, stopping first at San
Francisco.
All the way from Kiev Miss North
wood has traveled without panaport or
protection other thah her Red Cross
nurse's costume. She made the long
and difficult Journey through Siberia
and China to Japan accompanied by
two companion nurses.
Miss Northwood says she. has bsd
"experiences." but these experiences do
not enter the category of "thrills."
War was too somber for ber to provide
"thrills."
"When we left Kiev about three
months ago we anticipated trouble In
making our Journey owing to the strict
surveillance of the Russian government
In Siberia." said Miss Northwood yes
terday, "but we found that our costume
wsa a psss which tamed even the
fiercest-looking Cossack, and Insured us
the most generous and kindest treat
ment from all we met. The result was
that our Journey, which we had antici
pated would be full of exciting ex
periences, proved no more eventful than
that of an ordinary tourist In times of
peace."
Abseaee? Lasts Year.
Ml us Northwood left New York City
nearly a year ago on the Red Cross ship
for Luropc
"The 120 nurses and 10 physicians on
our ship." she said, "were divided Into
five different parties and one party snt
to each of the belligerent countries.
With a party of 24 other nurses and six
physicians I happened to be sent to
Russia. We went Immediately to Kiev,
where we Improvised a hospital, using
an old polytechnic Institute building for
the purpose. We fitted the hospital
with 600 beds, which were filled all the
time-"
Miss Xorthwood enlisted for six
months' service la Kurope. but she
stayed about eight months before leav
ing on the return trip for America.
She said that the Russians were
particularly appreciative of the work
which the nurses and the Red Cross
Society In general was doing for them.
The nurse, she said, was a privileged
character and an object almost for
worship for some of the simple soldiers
of the Little White Father. I
Mlas Northwood was In Russia
during the period of ascendency of
Russian arms, she denied any inti
mate knowledge of the war or of
bar Me conditions, however, since, as
she said, she was only brought In touch
with It through the wounded which
he was called upon to nurse back to
life.
Thrill Are Larklaa.
Replying to the suggestion tbst she
must have had a great many experi
ences she said Ingenuously:
"No, I gained a great deal of ex
perience but had no startling experi
ences and no narrow escapea."-
Mlss Northwood and her two com
panions made the trip through Siberia.
China and Japan ln a leisurely man
ner, taking time to vlalt the points of
Interest on the wsy. They also did not
neglect the opportunity to ride In the
picturesque carriages of Siberia, to
eat real chop suey In a resl Chinese
restaurant In Peking and to take a
number of side trips In a Jlnriklaha.
It was but a few dsys before the
three girls had planned to sail for
America on a Japanese steamer that
Miss Northwood. by accident, met Mrs
Olsen. wife of Captain Olsen. of the
John Fna. Mrs. Olsen was III and Mlas
Northwood was engaged to accompany
her on the trip.
"It was an Interesting trip, as I had
never before been on a sailing vessel."
said Miss Northwood. "I am a pretty
good sailor, too. for I didn't get sea
sick." Miss North wood's two companions
left her at Kobe, taking the steamer
for San Francisco. Miss Northwood
plans to go to San Francisco from
Portland, where she will visit the fair
before returning to her home at New
York City.

That the present system of baodltnc
the water power of this country is
chaotic, uncertain and retards Us de
velopment and use was the sentiment
expressed yesterdsy by Charles E,
Cochran, assistant general attorney of
I he O.-W. 1C 4c N. Company, la a talk
before the current events class of West
minster Presbyterian Church. The topic
was "Proposed Systems for Western
I'owers. Their Conservation and Ievel-
opmenl.- Mr. Cochran saJd that 11 or 13
western states alone are mainly Inter
ested In the solution of the water power
question, for the reason that only In
these W estern states are there Govern
ment lands. He said that the solution
of the question Is complicated from the
fsct that the Government owns the
land and the state the water. Coder
the act of 101. be ssld 32&.000 borse
power was developed under the leealns
plan or permlta that were revokable by
