SURVEY OF SCHOOLS GOING TO DIG DEEP, BUT NO MUCKRAKING Somothing Radically Wrongl With Management, However, I and Inquiry May Find Cure WILL THROW LIMELIGHT ON BOARD OF EDUCATION Reorganization Mav Ba Neces sary to Cut Away Dead Wood, McCain Believes J By GEORGE NOX Mct'AlN ... m m,,rvc' of t'10 public schools of Philadelphia has been decided upon. Thc'work has been underwritten bv n number of public-spirited private citi zens to the amount of ?n2.000. It Is estimated thnt it will cost not less than $25,000. It is improbable that tho. citizens' fund will bo required. Dr. Thomas E. Finegan, state superintendent of public instruction, hns expressed u willingness to undertake the work, with n rorn nt efficiency experts from his department working under his personal direction. I'nder this arrangement the state will bear the expense. What is meant by n survcj of the public schools? Is it expected to unearth u lot of scandal, maladministration, nnd mis direction of funds, or Is it merely a "high-brow" scheme fathered by out landers to exploit dilettanti ideas in the management of the city schools? Tho average citizen, I have discovered in numerous conversations, entertains only hnzy nnd indefinite ideas on the subject. It Is n new thing that hns to do with the public schools. Beyond thnt ho doesn't know just what its plans, scope nnd direction involve. It is for the purpose of clnrifjing. as far as possible, tills Impression und conveying some concrete idea of jut what Js intended that these articles have been prepnred for the Evkmno Pt'IlMO LiEDUUIl. Not Muckraking Expedition It Is well nt the outsturt to nniwrr one of the above questions definitely nnd finally. The survey is not a muck raking expedition. There 'arc no finan cial or other scandals to be uuenrthed. Whatever criticisms may have fallen upon the present management of I'lilln- City Executive Finds Hordes of Callers Delay His Regu lar Work REGULAR TIME NOW SET To ease tho tremendous pressure of personal calls made upon him at City Hall since his Inauguration. Mayor Mooro today decided to establish regular visiting hours. Hereafter nn visitors are to bo re ceived except from 10 a. m. to 12:30 p. m. and from 2:30 p. m. to 4 p. in. In cases of great importance visitors will be receiveif outsidy those hours only upon special appointment through the Mayor's secretary. Literally thousands of persons hnve called on the city's executive since Jan uary B. Mnny have complaints to mnko thnt should properly be referred to de partments of the municipal government. Others have suggestions to make on the wnv a big city should be run. "The Mayor has no desire to dodge complaints nnd suggestions, but the calls were making grout Inroads on his time. Official correspondence piled up nnd the Mayor has had to wryjf sometimes far into the night to keep up with detail work. There have been mnny instances where callers reached the Mayor's re ception room ns eorly as 8 o'clock in tho morning. When the Mnyor arrived about. 0 o'clock he would find perhaps a dozen persons who desired personal Interviews. A delegntlon called on Mr. Moore last night at 0:30 o'clock, although ho was busy with a mass of correspondence. His office force nearly every day lms been detained until early evening because of tho inroads on the Mayor's time during tho day.

MAYOR TO LIMIT j HOURS OF VISITORS1 PHILADELPHIA, Do You Know What A School Survey Is? Lots of people arc talking about It. la it muckraking? Is it to unearth scandal and maladministration? Or ia it a high-brow scheme of educational dilettanti?" Colonel McCain explains thin subject of much importance to Philadclphians in a short scries of articles of which this is the first. Get posted if you don't knoiv what the school survey is all about. dolphin schools, no such hint or sug gestion has ever been offered. That there is something radically wrong with the present management is n fact that has been recognized for vears. It is not modern and up-to-date; possibly antiquated would be the bet tcrerm The Board of Education has been ap pealed to nt various times to conduct n survey of its own. A majority of Its members always resolutely frowned upon'nnd voted down the Idea. It is, perhaps, well that they did so. Any survey by the board would hnvo been, in the eyes of the public, one sided und unsatisfactory. The present survey will be nonfnctlonal ana non political because it will be conducted by outsiders intent solely In arriving nt facts and improving Ihc walking efficiency of the institution. Economy Perennlnl Wall The excuse of the Board of Education hns been economy. It couldn't spnre the money, it is the perennial wail. Two curs ago a resolution for a general survey was introduced in tho board. An expert wns toutntivoly engaged. When he discovered that nbout all thnt was wanted of him was an examination of the board's financial affairs and an audit of 'the books, ho threw up the job the same day and returned whence he enme.

The British nttitud' regarding the French occupation ot' Frankfort will cause the opening of i diplomatic conversation between tiyJ. powers of tho Entente concerning (hjsV whole subleet of action with rrffftnt ft 1 Germany, it was said today in official $ circles.

It Is recalled that Articles 42. -IS und 44 of' the Versailles treaty defined ac tions by Germany which might, be re-i gnrded ns calculated to disturb th? peac.fi of the world, and It Is pointed out that such nctlon by Germany was accom plished when tli Reichswchr penetrated the Ruhr district.

Tho opinion is expressed in official circles that while maintenance ot tho Entente is tne tirst point on which future conversations must be bused, there appears to be a need of read-" justment of the relations of tho Entente powers. The original understanding having been to ward off the menace of aggression by Germany, it wns cou tinned during the wur, with the vlevV of winning the war, but was never adjusted to after-war conditions, which, it is asserted here, require a more.com prehenslve record. , Loudon, April II.
