Statement Of A. E. Frye, the
Former Superintendent
ARRAIGNS GEN. WOOD
ACCUSES HIM OF LACK OF ADMIN
ISTRATIVE ABILITY.
Denies Charges Made by Secretary Root
Before Senate Committee That
Teachers Were Unfit.

Alexis e. Frye, former superintendent OF
schools of Cuba, has prepared a statement
concerning charges that have been made
by Secretary Root against woman teachers
of Cuba, and also against his administra-
ton of the school system in that island.
These charges were made when Mr.. Root
was before the Senate committee on mill
tary affairs.
Mr.. Frye says that on the day these
charges were made he was in this city, and
he could have refuted them then, but over
month passed without the charges being
made known. His statement is given under
OATH and prepared in pamphlet form for
submission to the committee on military
affairs. to which he appeals for consid-
Grafton of his statements.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Frye tes-
titled against the administration of Gen.
Leonard Wood. Secretary Root. in his tes-
timony, said teachers were removed because
there were schools where teachers were
being paid where they had practically no
scholars at all; there were places where
mulatto women had schools who were mis-
tresses of mayors of towns; there were
cases where the teachers had to receipt
for their pay by making their mark; there
were schools where the teachers were of
VIGOROUSLY bad character; and a very bad
state of things was developed"
MIR. Frye SAID that during his service in
Cuba he had no power to appoint or dis
miss teachers, and that he never appointed,
employed or recommended any one for any
position in the schools of Cuba; that never
while there was an act of immortality on
the part of any woman teacher brought to
his attention, and there was never a word
written or spoken between himself and
Gen. Wood concerning any such immoral
ity.
Mr.. Frye claims in his affidavit that Gen.
wood saw the schools of Cuba only through
the eyes of Mr.. Hanna, now military at
tache to the legation at Havana In 1900
Mr. Hanna was aid to Gen. Wood. Mr.
Hanna is quoted as stating January 10
last:
II have never seen class of women who
conducted themselves with more circum-
spectfon than the Cuban teachers. If there
was or mad been an isolated case where a
teacher had been discharged for immoral
lty or as being the mistress of the mayor
OF town or because she could not write
her name l do not know of it."
