The committee on supplies made a report
at the meeting Of the Board of Education
Yesterday criticisings the surgical opera
tiols performed upon the public school
children by inspectors Of the Board of
he .ltn when the classes were in session.
Chairman Barrett eaid there were seN eral
riots about the schools last summer be-
cause o" these operations.
He didn't THINK tho He lth Department
inspectors should bc allowed TO 20 through
the classes and pick ont subjects for opera
tions. and offered a resolution requesting the
10 .rd Of Health 10 take steps 10 have such
operations performed after school hours.
Abraham Stern wanted 10 know how the
mi tier got into the hands Of tho committee
on supplies anyhow.
Why. the principals Of schools called
on our committee to place telephones in the
schools so that the could sGmmon the police
70 handle the riots that were getting too
frequent, - the chairman responded.
DR.. Mcdonald expressed the opinion that
IL was not the proper function Of the Board
Of Education TO have these operations per-
formed at any particular time. The reso-
hutton was carried.
Sir Alfred Mosely. who is in charge Of the
visiting English teachers, was introd iced
to the meeting by President " iuthrop and
made n speech in which he thanked all Of
those connected with the department for
so kindly receiving the teachers from
abroad. II have found that everything
here has been mace eG~v for me and our

the Kindness sloHn us here. They will
tint the door open for them out OF a deep
sense o. gratitude.
Mr.. Stern in I king about the formation
Of intermediate schools 10 lessen the num-
Der OF part time ~u"ils nd this to say
"A yelr ago DIR. Maxwell in his usual We
hement way told us tn I il about a We r.
we would see the part time problem neIr
"A solution WHIT il the truth Of the mat
teri Mhv, the Citv Sur erinteudent's re-
port for October shows that the part time
-chol RS h We mere sed to IS 600, the high
est number yet att ined. In nv opinion
I dou't think the rart time CT -sses will be
done GwF v with in zen yelrs."
Surt. Maxwell deCl Jred that he had not
toretold env such { vorable condition. He
had eXv ected a betterirent il immigration
W;snt too helVy, " the buildlng OF new
schools " sn't retarded end ii Cert2in other
things didn't intervene. Il don't think
th : we will ever see the part time classes
altogether abolished. he asserted.
A re luton was raised 20 permit Henry
e. Wilhelm To enter the ~SChoolship ST.
Mary's, although he in a little under 10 years
old, the minimum age. In this connection
Commissioner AldCroft informed the meet
ing that a Jana ne ,e hoy had been admitted
to the nGutic | school.
The co le of San Francisco may take
a lesson from us in admitting this son of
vi ron to one of our schools. where he
will associ tie with our American boys"
