Recommended as an architect with
nation-wide fame, the special commit
tee, consisting of A. Carson Stamm, !
Dr. F. E. Downes, Arthur D. Bacon,
William Jennings and David E. Tracy, '
in a report submitted to the Board
and the citizen's advisory committee;
in joint session, named Mr. Ittner as !
the best man obtainable to plan for
the expenditure of the million and a

Voting against the recommendation j
of the special committee were Dr. I
C. E. L. Keene, Harry A. Boyer, Wil-h

George A. Werner.
Dr. Keene, as soon as the committee ;
report was read, declared that he was j
for having the name of a Harrisburg .
man submitted together with Mr. i
Ittner's so that a vote could be taken j
on the two. He was supported in this j
by the four men who voted with him !;
in refusing to accept the report. The

for the work.
President Stamm, who is also
chairman of the special committee,
then addressed the Board and advisory
members making substantially the fol
lowing statement:
"The report of the joint committee
was so framed in the judgment of its
members as to lead to the inevitable
conclusion that Mr. Ittner was the
only man that could possibly be se
lected, and this without the slightest
reflection on any Harrisburg architect.
1 It was the desire of the committee to
j avoid the discussion of the merits of
Harrisburg architects. However, as
; five members of the Board have ex
pressed themselves as disposed to
favor a Harrisburg architect, it seems
to become necessary to say this: The
committee set aside all the Harrisburg
! architects except C. Howard Lloyd
upon the single ground that their ex
perience in schoolbuilding construc
tion had not been as large as was
necessary to justify the committee in
the selection of any of them. Mr.
Lloyd has had a very considerable ex
| perience, but even his as compared
.with that of Mr. Ittner is trifling in
quality and quantity.
"I asked Mr. Lloyd to come to my
; office one day last week and told him
'that I could not vote for him even, as
assuming his ability, because of the
'character of his previous relations
; with the School Board in the estima
tion of the public, and that without

regard to the justice or injustice of
| that public sentiment I believed it was
jso strong that if the Board should
choose him it would mean practically
the destruction of whatever measure
of confidence the Board had at this
Moment in the public mind, and that
in the interest of the boys and girls for
whom the school system is designed I
ould not vote to give him the com
mission.
"The commission desired to avoid
.uking any such statement as this,
ping that Mr. Lloyd would not carry
• lis efforts into this meeting, but un
ci- the circumstances It seems to be
i .avoidable."
The Vote
A vote was called on the committee
•i port, each member of the Board and
'he advisory committee being permit
"d to ballot. Ayes were President
Stamm, A. D. Bacon, Dr. William N.
Yates and Robert A. Enders, of the
Board; Mr. Tracy, Mr. Jennings,
George A. Shreiner and William M.
Donaldson, of the advisory committee.
Nays were Directors Keene, 8011,
| Boyer, Bretz and Werner, of the
i Board; Francis J. Hall, of the citizens'
| committee, was not present.
Members of the Board who voted
, against the choice then began explain
ing why they took their action. De
spite President Stamm's statement
that he did not believe any local archi
| tect could be considered as even on
equal terms with Mr. Ittner, the five
members would not change their
! views.
An opportunity was given by Presi
: dent Stamm to have any one of the
; five members name a Harrisburg
; architect instead, and to let the Board
o into regular session and vote oil
the selection. This none of the five
members attempted to do, admitting
{that they had little fault to find with
| the report of the special commitee.
"Xot Worried"
Intimations were made by Dr. Vates
| and Mr. Enders that certain members
of the Board had been approached by
I employers and told to vote a certain
| way and that an architect of this city
I had winked the streets and smilingly
| remarked that he w*as not worried
.about what action the Board took.
Mr. Bacon, too, declared that he
was told on good authority that Mr.
Lloyd had five votes in the Board. Mr.
Bacon was on the special committee
| which considered all briefs submitted
|by city and out-of-town architects. In
.speaking of the committee's choice,
| he said:
| "I would not say that any Harris
j burg architect was even in a class
with Mr. Ittner."
i The five directors refusing to change
[their decision, and refusing to name a
(Harrisburg man, the joint session was
adjourned and the School Board be
gan an official session.
A vote was called first on employing
Mr. Ittner as architect. Directors
Keene, 8011, Boyer, Bretz and Werner
balloted against him.
Dr. Keene, the first to take excep
tions to the report of the special com
mittee, then asked to be excused. Mr.
Enders objected and President Stamm

asked Dr. Keene to stay, which the
latter consented to do.
Dr. Keene's next step was to make
a motion to refer the whole proposi
tion back to the special committee
with binding instructions to re-submit
the report including the name of Mr.
lttner and tho name of a Harrisburg
architect.
This met with opposition from the
start, some members of the Board de
claring that such action was a con
tradiction of the plans adopted to have
fair competitive examinations for all
architects.
President Stamm suggested that the
special committee might be unable to
put any Harrlsburg architect in the
same class with Mr. lttner as being
equally qualified.
"If that is tho case, I'll support the
committee," Dr. Keene at once de
clared.
"The Fifth Man"
Mr. Enders took the floor and be
gan:
"Four weeks ago I was told four
men of this board were for Lloyd, and
if 1 would come over I would be the
fifth man. We have the live this
afternoon, apparently, but I'm glad
I'm not the tifth man. It is one of the
most coutcmptible trials I have ever
been in to be one of the directors
called upon to act on this question
after what I was told would happen."
No action had been taken up to this
time on Dr. Keene's amendment. Dr.
Yates,, when attention was called to
this, offered an amendment, as follows:
"That two of the live members vot
ing against Mr. lttner be substituted
on the special committee, to take the
places of President Stamm and Mr.
Bacon."
Mr. Enders seconded It, and sug
gested that instead of the original mo
tion the live directors refusing to ac
cept the report should be named as a
committee to select an architect and
submit his name at once. No action
was taken on the suggestion, as it was
i not put as a motion.
Dr. Yates' amendment was killed,
i 5 to 4.
Directors Keene, 8011, Boyer, Bretz
and Werner voted against it.
Dr. Keene's motion was next called
for a vote. This was the motion to
refer the whole question back to the
special committee.
This carried, 5 to 4.
Directors Keene, 8011, Boyer, Bretz
and Werner voted for it.
A few minutes later the session ad
| journed. Just before adjournment Di
rector Boyer took the floor for the first
time.
Boyer "Not Approached"'
"I would have named Mr. Lloyd this
afternoon if 1 had had an oppor
tunity," Director Boyer declared, "just
to let some of these gentlemen here
fire some of the ammunition they seem
to have. On my honor, I will say that
I have not been approached on the
question, but I agree with the others
voting against Mr. lttner that a Har
risburg man should be considered."
The committee report which caused
the break called attention to the point
(that the School Board has been given
the power to expend $1,250,000 for
school improvements, the biggest con
struction loan of its kind ever carried
for a single improvement plan.
Because of the plans used in the
i past in selecting the best man obtain
j able to carry out public improvements
! in Harrisburg, the special committee
in the report explained that they
[ adopted the same standard—that none
I could be too good for Harrisburg's
| schools.
The lttner Kcconimeiulation
In recommending Mr. lttner the
committee said:
"You have had before you in com
petition seven architects with offices in
Harrisburg and six coming from out
side the city. All of them have im
pressed you as being architects of
ability, and all of them have had ex
: perience in schoolhouse construction,
i To make a choice from among them
| all is not an easy matter; but after
the most careful consideration of the
| whole situation we have come to the
I unanimous conclusion that we should
i recommend to you for the commission
to design and erect the buildings in
volved in our program William B.
lttner, of St. Lcuis.
"Mr. lttner was for many years the
architect of the St. Louis school board,
retiring from official connection with
that board about a year ago. The
buildings designed and constructed by
him' in St. Louis involved an expendi
ture of nearly $9,000,000. A commis
sion consisting of the superintendent
of the schools of the District of Co
lumbia, the supervising architect of
the United States Treasury and the
engineer commissioner of the District
of Columbia, created several years
ago by act of Congress to investigate
and report upon the question of school
buildings, made a report in which they
referred particularly to Mr. Ittner's
work in St. Louis and said: 'The
newer school buildings of St. Louis
(designed and built by Mr. lttner) are
probably the best in the United States.'
Mr. lttner has built a number of
school buildings in Minneapolis, in
cluding a high school that cost over
half a million dollars: and of both
the man and his work there we get
the highest praise from an independ
ent and responsible source. Mr. lttner
has been the architect for nine years
for Ciary, lnd., where William Wert is
carrying on his notable experiments
in educational methods, in the work
ing out of which talent, originality,
sympathy and vision on the part of
the architect are of the utmost im
portance.
"Mr. lttner is just now building two
new buildings there at a cost of about
$300,000 each. He has completed, or
is about completing, a high school
building at Washington, D. C., costing
about $1,200,000, and of his work
there the school authorities of the
District speak in high terms. Mr. ltt
ner has been the architect for tho
school board of Erie, this state, in the
expenditure of over a million dollars
in buildings, and has now under way,
upon commission, plans for two more
to cost about $500,000, these new com
missions indicating the board's con
fidence in him. Independently of other
assurances we have received of the
satisfactory character of his services
there. Mr. lttner has built many other
schoolhouscs in various parts of the
country outside of St. Louis, all In

"One of our problems here in Har- ]
rlsburg—and perhaps our most diffi
cult problem—grows out of the pro
posed organization of three Junior high
schools, for the accommodation of
which one now building is to be erected
and two old buildings remodeled.
These junior high Bchools are alto
gether new in this community and
represent a comparatively recent de
velopment In teaching methods in the
country, They require something rela
tively new in Bchool architecture and
can best be designed by ono who has
had occasion to follow and study the
development of the Idea. Mr, Ittner's
service with the Oary Und.) school
hoard should be of very great value In
helping to solve a problem such aa we
have here, for some of the underlying
principles ef what is known as the
'Gary plan' may very readily be ap
plied to great advantage In the de
velopment of a junior high school.
And further, the department of super
intendence of the National Educational
Association, the greut representative
body of educators tn this country,
has made Mr. Ittner, presumably In
recognition of his superior tltuess, the
architect of Its committee on tho re
organization and administration of sec
ondary schools, with particular refer
ence to Junior high schools; and Mr.
Ittner will, at the annual meeting of
the superintendents at Kansus City
this month, present a report on the
Bpecia? requirements of Junior high
schools and junior high school build
ings, the remodeling of old school
buildings for Junior high school pur
poses, etc., prepared by himself, the
preparation of which necessarily in
*
volves a thorough and exhaustive ex
amination of the whole subject, in
which we, planning as we are for
Junior high schools, are most vitally
interested."
