Crouch, for the Committee on Course
of Study, reported that the Grand Army
Committee on Memorial Day exercises
had not met with the Committee on
Course of Study, as requested, and he
could therefore report nothing.
Superintendent Erlewine presented a
communication sent to him, specifying
those who had been selected by the G.. a.
r. to speak at the different schools.
President Davis said that a resolution
was passed last year providing that
each Grand Army Post appoint a com
mittee of one to consult with the Com
mittee on Course of Study, but it has
not done so this year.
Director Brown thought the board
should act in the matter, as the Com
mittee on Course of Study had no report
to make Considerable discussion en-
sued
Director Crouch said he was only one
out of three on the committee, and did
not care to assume the responsibility of
making a report.
President Davis thought there had
teen a misunderstanding somewhere.
Superintendent Erlewine said that the
Grand Army Committee was present al
the special meeting of the board on the
9th inst, and agreed to select a list Of
names and send them in. He thought
the list sent in was in accordance with
their understanding of the matter.
The question being raised as tC
whether the speaker selected could adj
dress a school without the consent OF
the board, President Davis said he die
not think anyone had a right to address
a school without consent of the board
He did not wish to be discourteous tC
the Grand Army. but they had not met
and arranged the matter with the
Committee on Course of Study, as re-
quested.
Brown moved that the board take III
the respective speakers named and ac-
cept or reject them severally.
The motion was carried and the list
was taken up.
Sherburn raised the point of order
that the communication was only signed
by one person. and there was nothing It
show that il was the act of the GranC
Army Committee. The board had. he
thought, no right to discuss the charac
ter of the gentlemen named, and there
was nothing properly before the board
Director Whitbeck moved that tbs
matter be referred to the Committee or
