JOHN SCHUYLER CROSBY ATTACKED.
Mr.. MoRIARTY CRITICIsES HIS CONDUCT AS A
SCHOOL COMMEMORATIVE ANNOUNCE
MENT OF HIS RESIGNATION

Commissioner Moriarty made sensation yester-
day afternoon at the regular meeting of the Board
of Education by making attack on Commits
sioner John Schuyler Crosby, who has just sent
in his resignation to the Mayor. Mr.. Crosby has
been a member OF the board several years, but for
the last twelve months he has attended only one
regular meeting Yesterday Mr.. Crosby sent
letter addressed to the president OF the board,
informing him that he had sent his resignation
the MAJOR.
Mr. Moriarty said that in his opinion Mr..
Crosby had treated the Board of Education with
contempt by continually absenting himself from
its meetings; that Mr. Crosby knew little or nothing
about the work of the public schools and seemed
to care less, and that he had deliberately in
suited the public schools of New-York in the few
speeches ne had made at the meetings OF the
Board OF Education"
Mr. Moriarty added: "Mr. Crosby Is so ignorant
Of the public schools that he could not answer
questions on the points OF the system he so
vigorously attacked. Such being the case, |
that his letter be laid on the table. and tina,
no notice of :: whatever be taken"
After a Ions discussion Mr. Mor!artys motion
was carried. No other business Of importance
done

Read what the Staunton, Va, papers
say of Mr.. Corwin IS artistic skill. "One
of America s Most Gifted Artists"
Never before have our cultured and
artistic circles been more Interested in
any event than the contest made this
week for the order to make the twelve
portraits to decorate the Court Rooms.
1.-The committee were determined to
secure the finest talent possible to do
the work: and rs II consequence artists
were here from New York, Washington.
Baltimore, Richmond, etc, with sam
pies of their portrait painting in oil, 4,
water colors. pastel and crayon. II is
needless to say among them were some
of the leading portrait artists in the
country, who showed in their portraits
great artistic skill.
1.-The work was awarded to Mr.. Frank
j. Corwin, at SG0000. his work being
more life like and showing more strong
ly that true artists skill so rarely met
with. The finish of his portraits was
truly marvellous in softness and color
ing; showing. it would seem, to repre-
sent life itself.
Mr.. Corwin is an artist with II won
dorfuily bright future, and one Virginia
is justly proud of, ms he has no supe-
riors in the South and few equals in
America.
1--WE are informed that he will return
to Europe the coming summer to CON
tinue his art studies, and surely few
young artists in America today have II
brighter future.'
