Not the Fault Of the Law.

The foregoing grievances are set forth
by your petitioners in the belief that your
august body did not mean to stultify it
self when 1t passed the recent law In t..e
interest Of the teachers OF Washington.
who at the time of it's passage had served
long and efficiently and faithfully the pub
lie schools Of the District, and also in the
belief that you intended thereby to raise
the public school system of the District to
a plane Of efficiency and character COM
mensurate with the needs and dignity of
the capital city Of the nation We believe
that perfect obedience to both the letter
and the spirit of the act would have ac-
complished your purpose and thereby
avoided the confusion the unrest and the
feeling Of outrage upon the school system
which pervade both the teaching body and
the public.
In the spirit which moved the teachers
of the District of Columbia to petition you
for relief on a former occasion, We as
citizens and parents. lay before you these
facts in the hope and faith that your
wisdom will see fit to make this city, be-
Queathed to your immediate care by the
wisdom Of the great statesmen Of the past
an example Of right dealing in that most
important function Of government, the edu-
cation Of the children who are the nations
chief responsibility and the nations chief

School Administration Incompetent.


Aside from the wrong and injustice done
to these illegally deposed teachers. there
are certain matters Of grave import, involv-
ing irregular and illegal acts and political
methods of the present school administra-
ton. to which we beg further to call your
attention. The new administration has done
many things In its short existence to justi.

ate lack Of public confidence. 1t has
thrown by its bungling acts the school
system into an unprecedented state Of chaos

meetings of the board of education and OF
the appointments of teachers. In its at

was enacted in the interest of the teachers
It has caused the teachers to lose thou
sands Of dollars which Congress out of its
generosity had granted them. It's appoint
ments Of teachers have been characterized
by gross favoritism. nepotism and political
intrigue. Its departure from the usual
custom of appointing normal graduates to
teachershlps in one branch Of the system
besides working great injustice, has de-
stfoyed the merit system and has tended
to place premium on favoritism. sycO-
phancy and graft. 1t has allied itself with
factionalism. thus affecting seriously the
morals of the teaching body.
Violations Of the Law.
Inc superintendent OF schools and the
board of education have violated public act
No. 254 in the following particulars:
1. Section 2, which provides that meet
ings Of the board Of education shall be open
to the public.
2. Section 3 as to the supervision of the
assistant superintendents.
g. Section 6. Ca as to the recommenda-
ton required in the matter of promoting
teachers, o. as to the method Of promot-
ing teachers. (c) as to the examination
requirement before the appointment of
teachers. (d as to the constitution Of the
boards OF examiners, (e) as to the status
of teachers in the service on June 20, 1906.
4. Section 10, which prescribes the man
ner of the trial or investigation Of teachers.
An accurate record of the acts OF the
board Of education and Of the acts and
schools, the records in the office of the
Commissioners Of the District Of Columbia,
or the controller of the treasury. as well as
the competent and trustworthy testimony
Of teachers and citizens, will establish the
truth of the foregoing.
