81 least-the Woman's Conference of the Society
for Ethical culture. Of which Mrs H. Oheshemcr
IS president. and the Public Education Associa-
ton Mrs Schuyler Van Rensselaer,. president
Will probably take steps TO oppose tho passage OF

The objections raised are two-fold: First. that a
stigma Will rest pupils graduating from an
institution under the care Of the State Board OF
Charities and. second. because II Will relieve
parents Of the care OF their children and make
more wards for the State
Mrs Clarence Burns one of the chief projectors
Of the enterprise says I'm reply TO these objections
Being under he STATE Board Of Charities mere

pupils Of the institution and that everything Is
well conducted II this were not done the school

Mrs Burns also called attention 10 the fact that
when the public schoOls were first started they
Were called charity schools. and people objected
