9HECHAPTERO ON SCHOOLS
1t Is Taken Up by the Char
ter Convention Of One
Hundred.
Debate Over Proportional Represen-
tation-A Board of Super
intendents.

The Charter Convention of One Hun
dred last night waited for the coming of
Mayor Phelan to secure the quorum
necessary to transact business. The ma
jority OF the memb bers, it was supposed,
found mvre interest in the Lavisne- Wal
colt battle than in the work of charter
BUILDING. The entire evening was passed
in the consideration of the report of the
committee on public schools submitted
by James Denman, its chairman. He ex-
planned that the main changes in the sys-
TEN embodied in the chapter proposed by
the committee were the appointment by
the Mayor OF five School Directors who,
with certain restricted powers, would
have charge of the schools, and the crea-
tion of Board OF Superintenoents, con-
sisrng of the Superintendent and his four
deputies, who would control the profes.
sionaI management of all educational
details.
Alfred Cridge, with the backing of a
vigorous minority, made q good fight to
amend the first section so as 10 provide
for the election of the School Directors by
proportional representation. The de ba te
on this subject lasted for more than two
hours AMI took a wide range, covering
many side issues. Those opposed to the
claimed that it would be unconstitutional
and that the law committee had already
reported to such effect.
Opinions Dy Judge John A. Wright
and Mr.. Leggett were read holding the
contrary view. One of the delegates de-
claring that proportional representation
was a nonstrous humbug was quietly re-
buxed by Ms. l.. h. Burke, who said that
she preferred an appointed board, but if
the Directors were TO be elected she would
favor their election by proportional repre-
sentation.
An amendment by w. J. Cuthbertson
that the School Directors be chosen from
the Board Of Supervisors was rejt cted.
The amendment FOR proportional repre-
senta ton was defeated by vote OF 90 TO 9.
Senator Samuel Braunhart wanted the
Directors to be elected by the people, in
which view Madison BaOcock and John
Dunn concurIed. The convention, how
ever, stood fast by the principle of an ap-
pointive board.
On motion of Mr.. Kelly, the rule re.
quiring that in the selection of Directors
preference should be given to heads OF
families was stricken out.
The convention, sitting as committee
on the " hole. was discussing the question
whether the board should consist of five
or fifteen whep q motion TO rise and port
progress, was carried.
The first section of the cha pter relating
to the Board of Education stood as fol.
lows when the proceedings closed last
night:
Section !. The School Department shall be
under be control and management OF Board
of Education. composed of five School Dlrec-
tors, who shall be appointed by the Mayor
They shall not be less than so wears OF aye
