The San Francisco call., 1897-10-30

TO introduce resolution regarding the
matter, but President GarlIck aid not
consider that 1t wa proper to do so.
Principal Crawford wanted to know if
MI Garlick was going TO be so ur-Ameri-
can as TO deny him the right to express
his opinion. The president said that when
Professor Howison made his addres. all
present were requested 10 express their
opinions at the time, and having failed to
do so ii would be unwise to take the mat
ter up again.
Il want to say, then" said Principal
Crawford, land to have it 60 out as my
position on the matter, that | believe
what Professor Howison said at that time
was dogmatic, uncalled for and untrue in
fact"
AT The morning session to-day Profes-
sor Howison said his rerort he'd not been
correctly understood. He obi acted TO GER
tain paragraphs IF his addre being taken
out and displayed prominently while
much OF his speech was totally ignored.
Professor Crawford. however, in fran.
ing his resolution, did not base his opin-
ion upon any extract that he had read
but upon his impression OF the whole
lecture, as delivered by Professor Howl
son. The resolutions, which were not
perm tied to come before the institute
were as follows:
Resoiped. That the teachers OF Alameda
County asse NJ bled in this ounty Institute do
most EN- phalically repudiaie aud condemn
the statements made here before this insti-
tute (by Professor Howison OF the State Uni
versiIy), couched in the following language:
1.-The skilled forger and couu terfeiter got his
knowledge in the school and didn't get some
thing s. he should have had. The # act of
the pubic school syste is to ma Ike criminals
The Ia ok OF recognition OF The distinction
between vocation schools and liberal schools
in the present system of teaching turns ont
| crooks and criminals. Now don't say that I
