recommend that special committee be APP
pointed by the president of the board TO care
fully consider the methods and basis for the
promotion of children in the public schools
and report to the board.
DR.. Kean took exceptions to the
phraseology of the recommendation.
He felt 10th to attack the old system
in such caustic terms, and referred par
tlcularly to the words nphilosophicaP'
and illogical" and wanted them eliml-
mated.
Prof Gilbert explained that the rec
ommendation was an expression OF his
personal opinion, based upon the ex-
perience of many other cities that have
adopted the plan he outlined.
Dr.. Keane liked the new plan best,
but he still objected to what he thought
a caustic attack on the old.
DR.. Smith explained that the board
could adopt the recommendation and
file the report without committing itself
concerning the language that had been
employed. He would not like to become
responsible for the language.

vote of the board.
