Chancellor advocated the requirement
Of ground By the school system, In or
der that the children might have SOIe
place in which TO enjoy thCmsC.VCs ~
ter school hours.
Miss Susan p Slpe. director Of gar
dens, came In for . gOodly portion or
the consideration OF the members OF tAe
board. Each member StaunCh hlv main
taIned that Miss Sipe should b. ably
supported In her work In letter 20
the board Miss Slpe recOmm -ndel that
the board axe action upon h ar suSges-
tion relative TO children being permit
ted 10 donate a penna each for botan-
ical purpose.
Miss Sipe's Work Commended.
Prof. EverInann expressed himself as
bitterly opposed 10 children donating
money for school purposes But" said
he. Il Will lend my support on this oc-
caslOn because OF the facr that l be-
Iieve Miss Sipe has done the school sys-
TEN an invaluable service IN stimulating
interest in botanical work among the
children"
Dr Chancellor suggested TO the mem
Eers OF the board that an appeal be
made to Major Sylvester 70 detail three
uniform officers To the Franklin School
building as truant officers. He explain
ed that children would be less likely 10
remain away from school II they knew
an officer Of the law would come for
them.
Mrs. Justina r. HIN did not like the
Idea. Il shall not support such mo-
tiOn," she declared. "Why should pO-
licemen be needed by the school system
The mere knowledge Of their presence
would cast a shadow over the children.
IL would be the same as regarding the
tots a criminals. Let US pursue the
same methods that are observed In other
cities. We do not wish 20 establish a
rule that viii cause criticism abroad
Let the regularly appointed truant ofri-
GERS perform their duties and there will
be no necessity Tor brass buttons and bill
lies"
Notwithstanding Mrs. Hms protest
the motion was carried, and, hereafter,
or as soon as the matter can be ar
ranged by the Chief Of Police. all chill
dTen who play truant will ne sought out
by regularly appointed police
