Jeseph V. Cath erine nnd William Hnwen. ether mem bers of the committee. uy they xlll ferre n fight for a decision. "This petty squabbling and bicker ing i enough te exhaust the patience of anTbedj-." snid Mr. Catherine. "Out aide of the fact that it is annoying, it gives crltlct of the beard a real oppor tunity te And fault and at the same time is working a real harm te the public school aystem of the city. "These constant disagreements nnd bickerings have cauel no end of dis sension and discontent among the teachers and administrators of the sys tem, and further delay is only going te put the system in a demeralixed con dition. "When a committee was appointed te find a man fitted te give the schools here a real progressive administration the idta then was te find the best man available for the pest and te comb the country for him. A country-wide search revealed the names of ten men with splendid records. They were con cen ded by educators all ever the country te be the pick of the field and all well tui!l6ed te give the city the kind of a enstructive administration it needs. Bickering Reduced List "All of thev men at the time were willing te come te this city, especially as it was agreed te increase the salary from ?!W)0 te 512.000. But the bicker ings of several members of the beard, who were determined te have the men they wanted, rather than dispassion ately te consider who was best fitted for tha pest, gradually reduced the list of men available, wtie preferred te remain where thev were with harmony than come where there was discord. "New matters have come te a point where action of any kind Is better than ae action at all. "There still remain for consideration two members of the original list formu lated by the committee, who have the Indervmcnt of eduenters all ever the country. Dr. Edward C. Broeme, superintendent of schools of East Orange. N, .1 . and Dr. Charles L. Meek, superintendent of schools of Madisen, Wis., are betb available and I cannot see why It should be neces sary te want te make any further search. Beth men have made enviable records. "Blmen Grate, desplte the fact that hs was for Dr. Chesman Herrick, took a manly and admirable stand when be found a large number of beard mem bers opposed te Dr. Herrick. 'If we cannot elect Dr. nerrlck,' he said, Met us then get together en another geed man.' B Rtated that any of the re maining candidates was satisfactory te him. Otrtslder Cesjld Overcome Prejudice "T personally have taken from the start the attitude that the best man we could get should be brought te this city. Fer that pnrpefe the salary was raised, and new the beard stands ready te Increase the tenure of office from eti te four rears. This would make it possible for the man selected te plan and carry out an effective administra tive program. "Of the new members of the list pre pared, only one man stands out as com paring with the original list, and that is Fred Hunter, superintendent of schools of Oakland Calif. !n view of what happened te Dr. Wilsen. 1 fear he would be but one mere educator te add te the humiliation of the city by de clining te b considered for the pest." Mr. Hewen emphatic in condemn ing any further delay. "It seems te m'," said Mr. Rowen, "that the time has come for us te Ntep feeling and get down te the business of electing a new school chief. We have bickered for nearly eight months ew without any result. "In the meantime the school avstem is limping along en a tentative basis. Ne meeting of the committee has been called since the last beard meeting and T don't knew what the ethers have In mind, but, for my part, I want te see action.
