'antiquated; beard
comment en survey
The school survey is welcomed by
the Beard of Education, but It is
termed "antiquated" because of the
time that has elapsed since the data
was gathered, by Jeseph W. Cnthnrluc,
vice president of the Heard of Educa
tion. Mr, Catharine in April 1018, made
the original motion that the beard Itself
conduct n school survey nnd that the
findings be used for such advancement
of the system ns was necessary,
"The completion of the survey nnd
its delnyed submission te the beard has
been a disappointment te us," said Mr.
Cnthnrlnc. "Hnd we sat Ht 111 nnd
awaited its issue our schools would be
In n deplorable state by new,
"Many conditions new appearing te
be condemned by the survey were long
age cither entirely corrected or a start
made for their elimination. We hnd
hoped that we would be kept Informed

"Itv this it can be seen that ns far

te take Immedintc steps te Improve the
then existing conditions.
"We liuvc ndvaneed materially since

it Is n situation which hatf been the

Mr. Illnes sketched n Iflcf history
of the construction and financing of

that the Burlington stock had been pur

lines ns n development from a policy
of Joint operation and Joint use of

mutually hnd ndepted as early as 1880.
The actual purchase of the Burlington

in the realization of the Idea of handling
through traffic by these lines," which
had been in the minds of their original
builders.
"We will show from the public
standpoint," Mr. Illnes continued, "the
results of the closer and closer realiza
