Rewen, Alse Tired of Bicker
ings, Wants Action Beober
Lesing Patience
ISSUE IS UP TOMORROW
Arenncrl by the prenput of further
dlir in the exprrned purpose of Jehn
WatnmaW ami Dimner Berber, of the
Pelftl committee en nuperlntendenee
of the Beard of Education te ask for a
postponement in the nelectlen of a
whoel nurerlntendent nt tomorrow'
meeting of the beard. 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.
Men Here Geed Kneugh
"Ws have people in Philadelphia geed
neugh for the pest. Besides Dr. Her
rl'k we have Dr Jehn I, Ilaney, act
ing president of the Central High
Scheel, and Dr. I'red Oewing, principal
of the Girls' High Bchoel. net te men
tlsn Dr. Charles Hcyl, principal of the
Wtet Philadelphia High Scheel for
Beys, who has asked for the pest."
Mr. Beeber Hald that he and Mr.
Wanamaker wantH a postponement te
Insure electing th b'st man possible
Ha wants te eliminate, these prerljsly
considered and cheese a man from the
ew list.
"I aw getting tired of all this fight
ing," said Mr, Beeher. "The ether
members of the beard m te want
te pick their own men. I am wasting
a geed deal of time nn this matfr and
my patlenc Is nearly exhausted 1 1
have sought a niw list, beraiiM the i
members of the beard de net seem te
be able te agree en any of the men who
have been named 1 would like te see I
action, tee. but I don't believe vnu can I
