"7 T t" 7!r !;"i X' " '7 -: ( - a. EVENING? PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1919 v 5 ': -4 ' r& t. TH S SCHOOL SYSTEWf PROBE PLANNED Investigation of Work by Legislative Committee Is Sought RESOLUTION PREPARED Bill Introduced in the House Provides for a Bureau o'f Physical Education llnrrlslmr-, Feb. 20. The school' sys tem of Pennsylvania will be Investigated by a legislative commission made up of live members each of the House and Senate, If the Senate adopts a resolu tion which has been prepared on the sub Ject. The commission will hold hearings In this city and In Philadelphia and Pltt burgh and other cities In the state. SentlmcnJ among Senators and Repre sentatives Is so strongly In favor of the proposed investigation that there Is not the slightest doubt of the passage of the resolution. Representative William T. Ramsey, who Is bad: of the movement for an In vestigation, asserted It would be con ducted along the lines pursued at the last session, when virtually every de partment of the Kocrnment was Inves tigated at the Instance of Governor Sproul. Trobe Did (load "The Sproul committee," said Mr. Kamsey, "did much good In showing the delinquency in many branches of the stato goernment ana resulted In re medial legislation and the correction of many abuses which had crept Into the various departments. The commission for an inquiry Into the Bchool managed ment will take up the work, where the Sproul committee stopped. There is no thought of muckraking nor Is there any Idea of looking for the ofllclal scalp of any man, but the fact of grave delin quency In the administration of the schools Is patent to all jvho have studied the subject. "Steps will be taken to get at the facts and to hae remedial legislation prepared for passage at this session.' Complaints have come to ine from mem bers of patriotic societies with which t am connected that local conditions In many sections of the stato are not what they should be, and also that theie Is a lack of co-operation and assistance to the local school Tioards from the cen tial managing body. "We look for the hearty co-operation of Goernor Sproul, who has alwavs manifested a keen Interest In the public schools, and expect to draft legislation which will meet with ms approa!. Tho proposed commission to consist of (He Senators and five Representathes will be composed of men who will agree to sit here In Harrlsburg at the week-ends fol lowing the adjournment of the I.egisla ture and who will gather all the lnforma tlon obtainable here, and later, if that shall be deemed necessary, will go to other parts of the state to get data upon which to base their recommendations to the General Assembly. Physical Education Bureau Representative John F. Blgler, of Mer cer County, Introduced a bill In the i House providing for the creation of . bureau of physical education under the direction of the State-Superintendent of Schools. The bureau would be au thorized to devise and direct a course In physical education, "together with In struction as to the privileges and re sponsibilities of citizenship as they re late to community and national welfare." The measure provides for the appolnt f inent of a director of physical education and appropriates $25,000 for the ex l penses of the proposed bureau for two ' years, beginning the first of July next.
