MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1932. PxGE THREE TEACHERS REVOLT AT INHIBITIONS OF DIRECTOR BOARDS Federation Determined to Obtain Freedom From Bans On Dancing, Smok ing Low Pay Scored CINCINNATI, Dec. 1. UPJ-'They've pused resolutions putting school teachers to bed st 9 o'clock, prohibit ing them from dancing snd requiring them to teach Sunday school classes,' so, ssys Pltfrence Curtis Hanson of Chicago, "we're out to do something about It." Mrs. Hanson, secretary-treasurer of the American Federation of Teachers, Is a delegate to the American Feder ation of Labor convention here. The teachers, said Mrs. Hanson, do not want to go on record as condon ing "loose living," "but only through freeing them can we develop the high type of teachers we really need, we must not hamper them with ridicu lous restrictions." "In Kansas City a year or so ago, the school board passed a regulation that no teacher1 man or woman should smolce. Under that rule, Paderewakl couldn't have taught music, Lorado Taft couldn't have taught art, and Gen. Charles a. Dawes would have been ruled out as a teacher of pout leal science." And so the federation Is out to make Itself so strong that It can set up the country's teaching standards Itself, and they win be hign, Mrs Hanson said. The federation delegate criticized tendencies In some localities to low er teaching standards with small sal aries. "In South Dakota In 1931, one school district advertised for bids from applicants, and a WC-a-month teacher got the Job," she said. "This year. In North Dakota, Jobs went to $45 bidders." MEDFORD PEOPLE TO LASSEN'S PEAK M. Meredith Sheets, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde E. Gilbert and K. B. Watson of Medford, were among recent vis itors at Lassen Volcanic national park In northern California, who climbed the steep sides of Lassen peak, the only recently active volcano In the continental United States. This information was obtained from the register that has been lo cated all summer on the very top- moat pinnacle of the mountain, and recently brought down by park rang ers in order that a count of the num. ber of persons climbing Lassen could made. The totals showed that dur lnr the past season 14 per cent of the visitors made th ascent, In compari son with 8 per cent the preceding year. Mr. Gilbert was a temporary rang' er at the park during the recent sea son. FOR U. S. BENCH An Interesting item, which hints at an Important appointment for A. E. Rearms, local attorney, is found in the "Those Who Come and Go" col umn of this morning's Oregon I an. It reads: "A. E. Reames, prominent attorney of Medford, who is known among his many Jackson county friends as Judge Reames, was in the city on legal business yesterday. When he comes here he always finds a place to rest his briefcase at the Hotel Portland. Judge Reames' political leanings are with the incoming ad' ministration, and it Is said that should a third member of the federal district bench be granted Oregon within tjhe coming four years thla Medford lawyer would likely be ap pointed. But, of course, there might be opposition." William Mason Pioneer Passes William Mason passed away at his home at 720 Pine street Medford, Ore., at 8:20 Wednesday morning.

Bowmer. professor of drsmatitlos here today in discussing "Aa You Like It. ' which he is directing for showings at Southrn Oregon Normal audito rium Friday and Saturday, December 3 and S. Bowmer points out that thla pro duction would differ from the or dinary type of professional show (n that every scene which Shakespeare wrote into his comedy would be shown, in stead of following the usual practice of cutting many of the short scenes. This Innovation la accom plished by a true working adaptation of the Ellzabethean static using the forest age as a generalized setting. The huge cast, which includes 27 faculty members and students, went through the last dress rehearsal last night as final alterations were made for the staging of the clever, hlghlv entertainlng comedy hit. Many Med ford students, headed by George Ben nett, who has the masculine lead, are to be seen In Important roles In the play. One of the outstanding features of the production will be members of the cast will appear throuphout the play in modern dress. The lines spoken by the players are the same as written by Shakespeare as the play Is not a satire upon the work of the great English poet.
