In answer to Mr. Shallcross's threat to bring the pressure of the University Irustees on him, Doctor Wltmer Issued the following statement: "I did not send Mr. Shallcross a let ter and I do not propose to send him one. He knows that an open letter Is tho recognized method of asking a ques tion publicly, and he is only dodging an answer. , "Mr. Shallcross publicly called me a 'liar,' and I ask him publicly, 'Is he man enough to join mo In debate where ho will have a chance to prove his point and I to answer him?' "Mr. Gratz publicly accused me of Bolshevism. I ask him If he Is man enough to meet mo In public debate on this Issue. I ask the Board of Educa tion, Individually and collectively, will they choose three representatives to meet in public debate three critics of competency and of the efficiency of the public schools under their adminis tration."
