JANIToRs VS.. ENGINEERS IN SCHOOLS

To the Editor OF Tho Tribune.
Sir: Henry VI. Devoe. for the Board OF Educa-
ton. tries sdetrack the question of why the
lives OF thousands OF school children OF this city
placed in constant peril by the appointment of
incompetent to take charge of engines and
steam boilers in public school buildings. He tells
the public through The Tribune March 80. OF
the standing and troubles OF engineers
unions. What the public, parents md taxpayers
want to know ia not how engineers union is
organized or conducted, hut how those gentlemen
whom they have placed IN authority in the Board
OF Education caring for the lives OF their chill
dren in the public schools. I doubt very much If
the committee on the of school buildings Is
doing for them even much the present law
requires. but Il so. technical question Of law
is no excuse when thousands OF lives daily in
danger Were there competent persons avail
able. such excuses might be accepted for the time
being.
II is not true that regular Janitors be
had cheaper than ta-litor engineers. To every
school building IN this city IS attached a salary
for its care fixed according to measurements. and
whether the committee appoints janltor jani-
tor engineer. the salary IL the same Mr.. Devoe
saws there are janitors in the service working for
