TEACHERS AT CARSON
ARE ASKED TO RESIGN
"Women Instructors at College
Held Midnight Parties,
Is Chnrgc
Midnight parties, which the board of
directors regarded as hardly the thine
for such an Institution, has resulted In
a. call for resignations of several wornen
teachers at Carson Colleso for Orphan
Girls, Chestnut Hltl.
James P. Carson, rclatho of tlio lato
Hobert X. Carson, who founded the col
lege, said the teachers had complied with
a roqucst to resign, but ho 'withheld
their names.
Tho directors caused an imestlgation
wlren residents of Chestnut Mil com
plained about hilarious singing at un
seemly hours In the school.
Mr. Carson said the tcacheis -nlio
were dismissed had "parties" In their
rooms, at which they smoked and drank
wine. They een had the audacity to
i Invite some of the older girls to the
functions, ho s.ild. Nothing more v.ats
charged against them, Mr. Carson said,
but he thought that was quite enough.
lie said that whether such parties are
right or wrong, they weie certainly not
tho thing In such a school as Carson
College, and their Influence la not tho
Kind the collego wants.
"The matter has been much magni
fied," says V. "N". Perkins, treasurer of
Iho board of trustees of Carson Col
lege, In reference to the assertion that
fcertaln women officials had held smok
ing parties on tho grounds of the col
lege. "The charges of smoking and drink
lug v.cto brought to the attention of the
board of trubtces and were immediately
referred to tho management committee,,
which visits the, school weekly.
"Upon investigation the board finds
Some grounds for tho charges and crit
icisms made, but not to the extent re-
ported. These accounts, tho board has
Tcason to believe, were grossly magnl
Vled. "The board, as now constituted. Is
made up of Philadelphia men of high
standing, who are opposed to anything
at tho college or on the property that
is not of tho ery highest order in
eery particular.
"At the meeting yesterday tho mat
er was presented and resolutions passed
supporting the commlttco In its deter
mination to employ only such persons
at the college as were willing to con
form to the highest standards required
and to eliminate from our employ any
one not of that standard."
Mr. Perkins denied that children were
present at any party of the sort de
scribed. John Grlbbel Is chairman of the board,
George Vaux, Jr.. is vice chairman,
James P. Carson is secretary and Mr.
Perkins Is treasurer. '
The college began its organization in
1915, and opened its doors July 1, 1918.
There are forty-four girls between the
ages of sis and ten years lit the col
lege, and a working force of twerly-flve
to tako care of them. Tile institution
is built on the smal cottage system and
is using six house".

Wlieles messages to tho Maritime Ux

burning of the six-masted schooner
Dovrefjeld at sea by a mutinous crew.
The exchange was also Informed that
.the men were picked up by tho United
Stntes destroyer Trlppe, placed under ar
rest nnd were being brought to Newport
News In Irons.
The Dovrefjeld was set afire three
days after the vessel left Newport News
for Jacksonville.
Tho schooner, after being fired by the
crew, was for soeral das at tho mercy
of the elements. Fears aro entertained
for tho safoty of Captain Nells,on and
threo men who stood by him In tho mu

their fato has filtered through the
Maritime Kxchango wireless.
That all on board the Dovrefjeld wero
not lost Is duo to the work of the speedy
Trlppe nnd Its determined wartime crew

The head of the electrical bureau said I
that citizens should i.o-operatu with the'
