POVERTY
FOR
DEFICIENCIES
Simon Grata, vi.ec president of the
Board of Education, nml not the tic
" partment of superintendence, is te
sponsiblc for the inefficiency of the pub
lic school s.istom in this rity, nocord-
Jug to Prof. Lightne)- Witmcr, Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
" In n Midden nnd unexpected debate
. with Professor Witmer during n gen
' crnl forum last night nt the First Uni
tarian Church, following a speech on.
"The Public School?," by Mr. C.rnlz,
JtxWns declared by the speaker thnt the
department of superintendence wa at
' fault with respect to the conditions sur
. rounding the teaching of backward rhil
' drcn. The assertion was nmtlc by Mr.
Uraty. in answer to a question by Pro
fessor Witmer.
Representatives of the department of
superintendence nnd William Hick,
secretary of the. Ronrd of Education,
declined to discuss directly the state
ment of Mr. Grntz, other than to say
that the work was hampered by.lack of
funds.
'Every once in n while jou hear a
rumor that a certain superintendent is
going to be fired." said Professor Wit
mer today. "The rumor usually fol
lows the opposition of the particular
Superintendent to the views of Mr.
Gratz. This is the club which Mr.
Grntz holds over the heads of the su
perintendents.
"Mr. Grate's statement blnmipg the
superintendents for the inefficiency of
Hip schools is absolutely wrong. He is
the one responsible. There are four
i ensons why his statement is wrong.
Why flratz Is Wrong
".First. The Hoard of Education does
'not make proper provision for the
s-hools. It provides very inadequately
on the recommendations of the super
Ar , hitendents.
ST ? "Second. Tho lf)l" teport shows thnt
t f A. 1 llO Cimni'intmiflftnf-u oi-n nnmnrlnnf n-inn
vliose judgment should receive the
highest consideration.
"Third. Mr. Grate himself is crm
titiually butting in nnd controlling the
details. .
"Fourtli. lie cdntrols the superin
tendents nnd their associates because
of the power of "appointment winch he
holds as a club over their heads should
they honestly oppose-his views.
- "yhat Mr. Grate said lust night re
garding tho .Board of Education was
rc.ally a tribute to the board. He put
the best apples on the top of the bas
ket, but tailed to state what was be
neath them. Those shown were all
right, but he. did not want us to go be
neath those on the top."
Doing Best Possible
Jf y Dr. George Wheeler, an associate
J? superintendent, went into figures to
', show what had been .done during the
&,cja8t year, declaring that an inefficiency,
iw "in the system was not due to the super-
jiueiiiii-uiB.
"Doctor Witmer's charge seems to
be that the f-cliool board is not taking
tf,. care ot suDnormni cniiurcn. it is iuk--ying
tlie best care of them that it can
wIth tho money it has to- spejid. We

Mr.. Dick, "it couldn't do anything
more than it has been doing with the
funds on hand.

of it nnd paid me .flSOO it month out
of the-income. Wo-nlwajs discussed
our business nt dinner Bungay night
at my home in Wynncwood. There he
usually gnvo mo his personal checks for
the incomo from "my property."
She said that on one occasion she
gave tho judge n check for !j!1000 as
a fee nnd on another occasiou a check
for $,"00.
"He saw- this item of 9500 in my
checkbook one day and 'asked that I
change the entry from' 'fee' to 'ex
penses.' I" did."
Judge Wheeler went to Columbus, O.',
to attend to business for her, she .said.
Kfforts were made in her testimony
this morning by Assistant District At
torney Taulnne to show that Judge
Whrclcr had sent her dividend pay
ments for stock after the judge had sold

This effort produced a scrap betwecu

their fitness for independence."

To President AVilson's phj-sicnl en

is credited the getting of the league,

When the debate dragged beyond
midnight on Friday, Lord Itobert
Cecil asked Colonel K. M. House:
"How long is this going to InstV"
Colonel House consulted Mr. Wil
son and immediately lepliod: "It
is going to last until daylight, if
necessary, to adopt this covenant."
When this became known opposi

soon concluded. Colonel House said
afterward: "In a prolonged con

to the President the advisability c in

Iring with thN niggestioii, promised to

Tlie status of the American, Jap-
1 nnese and French amendments to
j the covenant of the league of na-
tions has been definitely established,
so far as the league of nations commis-
1 sioii is concerned, with the American
I amendment concerning the Monroe Doc-
j trine the only one to be giveu a place
I in the covenant by the commission. The
French and .Inpnnesc, however, have
both made reservations which entitle
them to renew, nt n plenary session of
the Pence Conference, the nuestions Sn-
jau ine main points m the peace treaty
virtually disposed of, so that the date
w lien the enemy delegates shall bo sum-
moued to Versailles has been tcnutiyely

written into a preliminary peace treaty
within the coming two weeks.

Indications are that the Germans will
be giien opportunity to discuss the
peace terms before the congress, but
tlint no extended discussion will be ncr-
uuii-u, in u wcehs oeing suggested a
the limit for the sessions at Versailles.
These sessions, it is expei-ted now, will
be attended by President Wilson, who
Is said to feel that the progress made
is such that he will be able to remain
for the peace congress.
The chief question retiiainiug to be
settled, now that the Suar valley and
partitions problems huve been dis
posed of iu virtually all their details,
is that of the Rhine frontier. Tho
council of four probably will occupy
itself largely with this question during
the present week. The debate is ex
pected to center upon the French con
tention fot security from n military
stnndpolut, the French attitude being '
indicated us determined ou tills poiut.
