Education: The Bible

Miss McDowell

Miss Mary McDowell, Quakeress school teacher who gave one-fifth of her income to the Red Cross, but was dismissed because, as a Quakeress, she believed war to be ” immoral and unchristian,” has been reinstated. The Board of Education of New York not only reversed its former act, but frankly and honestly acknowledges its guilt. ” After full consideration of the ease the committee has decided that the punishment meted out to Miss McDowell was too severe. She was tried at a time of great public excitement. Since then public feeling has undergone considerable modification.”
