SBWB1SBMBS School Board to Ask Legal Advice (Continued from page 1) tlonatlty of the act was in ques tion in both suits. District Attorney Page, who has acted for the Salem board in the matter, said yesterday that as far as the Salem teachers are concerned the supreme court's action : virtually settles the mat ter. However, 20 days are al lowed for securing a petition for rehearing and the teachers may avail themselves of this chance. The act, incorporated as part of the teacher tenure law, is ef fective only In school districts of 20,000 or more population, a cate gory : which Includes only Salem and Portland districts. I In his opinion on the' Portland case Justice Belt wrote: "The legislature, in the exercise of its sovereign power, has In ef fect said that compulsory retire ment of teachers who are 5 years of age- tends to promote the gen eral welfare of the public and la for the betterment of the public school system. "Many reasonably minded per sons ; believe there Is danger of schools being loaded down with superannuated teachers who have lost their appeal to youth. "It Is significant that the inter veners, officials of the Affiliated Teachers council of Portland, support the contention of the de fendants that the compulsory re tirement provision was enacted tor the purpose of Increasing t-he efficiency of th teacher - em ployes. "Whether this legislation -Is wise is not for this court to de termine. It la sufficient to say that we do not consider such com pulsory retirement of teachers arbitrary or unreasonable." Justice J. O. Bailey did not! narticioate in the case. s Petitions for rehearing were denied in Vantlne vs. Heilig, Fluhrer vs. Bramel. and in sthe estate of Warren Herbert Norman and i others.
