A Brooklyn public school-teacher, it was learned by the principal, was about to begin the observance of the Sabbath kept by her divine Lord, and he forthwith threatened her with discharge, but stated that even if he kept her this year, it would be impossible for her to be a teacher next year, as the school would probably be held on Saturdays. Is New York State about to follow her motto, “Excelsior,” in the direction of tyranny and oppression? Her school laws and regulations have been taking on for some time more and more of useless technicalities which can be taken advantage of by bigots.
