In proximity to schools.
Mr Kelsey blamed both the city and
Board of Education for "haphazard"
methods of erecting schools ns individual
properties, rather than us units iu n
city-wide system. He cited the Frnnk
fcrd High ns the only school he knew
in the city Hint he was proud of. He
pointed out the Germantown High and
the West Philadelphia High Schools as
"horrible examples of wasteful ignor
ance nnd civic maladministration."
His chief complaint is against lack of
playground space and against the shut
ting off of light and air because of lack
of ground.

"The Fraukford High is iu every way

When it was built, five years ago. the

self-respecting surrounding zone has

School as Community Nucleus
"This is ns it should be. The school
should form n nucleus for the commu

about the Fraukford school achievement
in that the city actually permitted ine
indefinite continuation of a stupid street
to be interrupted to assure u noble

"The Germantown High Is a fair

Compared with the setting of the old
Ocrmahtown Acndemy of Revolutionary

It faces a narrow street, completely
overwhelming the little properties oppo
site. The end facing the main street
gives one a disagreeable surprise. More
over, the one Inexpensive property
purchased in the rear to give ncess

there is no excuse whatever for this

isn't so much a question of lack of

Moore Leaders Plan Special
Committee to Act Finally on
City's "Obligations"
DEVELIN MAY BE ITS HEAD
A special committee on "moral
claims" is proposed by the Moore
leadership for the new Council of
twenty-one.
1'lnns for this new committee, which
will investigate the justice or injustice
of so-called "moral claims." including
that of Senator Vore, have gone so far
that Councilman-elect Develln, of the
Thirty-fourth ward, hns been tenta
tively agreed upon for chairman of the
committee.
In addition to those which have been
before Councils In the recent past, it is
understood that a number of oilier
"moral claims" will be presented to the
new body shortly after it 0rgani7.es the
first Monday in January.
.Mr. Develln has been suggcslcd for
the head of this special committe bc
cause of his legal and business training.
It is also believed thnt a thorough in
vestigation of these claims bv a special
committee would relieve the citv solicitor
of n great deal of work for the reason
that it is the plan to have the special
committee establish the worth or worth -lessness
of the various claims once aud
for all, so far as the municipality is con
cerned. air. uevenn nao ocen suggested for
the presidency of the new bodv. In view
of the greater legislative experience of
Francis V. Hlirch. of the Fortv-s xtli
ward, it is planned to elect the latter us
president.
Itiehurtl Weglelu, also a candidate for
president, is believed to be slated"
for the chairmanship of the finnncc com
mittee. Mnyor-nlcct Moore is in Washlnfflon
today, aud it is expected that there will
bp no further cabinet appointments for
some days at least.
In this connection it was learned
that notice hns been virtually served nn
political lcadcra that they cannot expect
to loan me assistant directorships with
political followers in payment of politi
cal debts. It is understood to be Mr.
