The Havers have been married since May 4, police said.

He said the student might sue for fraud on grounds he and his parents were misled into believing he was learning. Compulsory education implies a duty to impart learning, Sugarman said, and failure to do so could lead to suits based on negligence or malpractice. Freedman, a former attorney for the Massachusetts Teachers Association, said malpractice suits against teachers are an attempt to use teachers and school boards as scapegoats for failures of the educational process. He said he would use such defenses as that teachers have little voice in funding, equipping or organization of schools, that there is no constitutional right ot literacy and that the child himself might be guilty of contributory negligence. v. self-laudato- ry A discussion, June 30, in a "critical PORTLAND, ORE.

The court said As for the content of the magazine to which respondent conarticle tributed, the petition charged misconduct but the Appellate Division did not ground its action on that allegation. Associate Judges Adrian P. Burke and Domenick L. Gabrielli dissented from the majority opinion and said the censure should be upheld. Gabrielli said Erdmann's remark about Appellate Division judges "couched in such scandalous terms, is bound to have the effect of bringing discredit upon the administration of justice amongst the citizenry, an act which ought not to be permitted. "One who engages in making such scandalous or other improper attacks, as here, is subject to discipline, Gabrielli said.
