DR.. o. I. Pepper got the attention of
the chair and moved to amend by
knocking out the clause OF the report
with reference to non political school
defenee OF the school board, claiming
that it had been maligned and vilifed
unjustly. He spoke earnestly against
adopting the clause OF the report, say
ing it would only be an opening wedge
for ring to get back into power, which
the present board had had hard work in
fighting. He quoted igares by which
he claimed that the board had conduct
ed the school matters not only economi-
cally, but with great saving to the
taxpayers of the city.
Mr.. Mesmer said that there were no
attempts on the part OF the COMMITTEES
to cast q slur on the retiring school
board. He resented the illusions mad
by DR.. Pepper. The committee had
followed the reco mmendations of the
city central committee.
Henry p. Wilson said he was the first
one OF the committee who had proposed
q Joint conference with the Republicans
aud had been honored with the Joint
craftsmanship. He said that there had
been no attempt to do an injustice to
DIR. Pepper or any other members OF the
school board. He made a ringing
speech in favor OF keeping the schools
out of politics. He believed il was good
Democracy to do 80. and said with in
tense feeling that be hoped the schools
would not be put back in politics. He
had no children and did not know when
he would have, but he hoped the report
OF the committee would be adopted.
DR.. Joseph kurtz said he would favor
the report of the committee, with all
due Difference to DR.. Pepper. He as-
serted that there was politics in the
public schools at present, and he spoke
from experiences. Teachers had been
discharged for no cause and inexperi-
enced tuschers put in their place. He
had been told petitions had been sold
by the board OF education. [Chesrs. ]
