Squelch

Angry because five students of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton had received New York City substitute teachers' licenses without going through regular channels, the City's Unemployed Teachers Association addressed a hot letter of complaint to Pundit Albert Einstein. He is the Institute's most famed member. Last week Dr. Einstein quietly squelched the Unemployed Teachers as follows:

"For teaching in the high schools such a large teaching staff is needed that necessarily a considerable part of it must be of rather low grade with regard to scientific capabilities and scientific understanding. . . . Under these circumstances it can only be good if persons who have shown unusual scientific ability . . . are drawn into high-school teaching."
