report. that was confirmed in part by
the Standard Oil Company agent in

bills. and other papers, had been de-
stroyed so as to prevent certain al
legged evidence falling into the hands
of the State or national authorities in
case legal action should be taken
against the company in this district.
What started the rumOr was the NOV

they were to be burned. c. II. Hand,

port in part, was true, but that only

nation Is to be taken the coming October,

The population Of Greece in 1921. before

Washington friends Of Prof. John T.
Freeman, for many years a supervisor IN
the local schools, win be glad to know
that he has been reinstated as superin-
tendent Of the public schools Of Science
tady y. Y, from which place he was
summarily ousted last March by a clique
OF politicians
Back Of the reinstatement lies one Of
the hottest political fights ever Waged in
Schenectady, and his resumption of his
duties in the schools is a victory of the
people at large in a conflict with a we'll
organized political machine that had DOM
mated the schools in the city for many
years.
The fact that the school board was after
Prof Freeman's scalp was noted in The
Washington Herald at the time. and be-
cause of the fact that his connection with
the schools here made him many friends,
Washingtonians were much perturbed
when they finally learned he had been
dismissed from his position. without trial
or charges. but at the instigation OF a
hostile school board.
Until TWO years ago Prof. Freeman was
connected with the Washington schools,
and left here to take the SUPPLEMENTARY
OF the Schenectady system. During his
stay in Washington he had achieved a
reputation as an organizer, as well as a
teacher of ability. and it was rightly he
lieved his appointment in the New York
town had come as a recognition of his
standing in the educational world.
The only opposition at the time OF his
election TO the place was from Horatio G,
Glen, president Of the Schenectady school
board. who. it is said, was anxious to
have the place given to a friend. Defeat
ed in this. he set about TO elect a friendly
board. and this was done early in the
year. with the result that Freeman was
dismissed without a chance 20 defend him
self.
Then the people Of Schenectady took
the matter into their own hands. Clu-
zens gathered on corners and organized
mass meetings, and for weeks excitement
ran high Meetings were held every
night in the week, and an organized
fight was made by the Citizens League,
Ministerial Association, Chamber of Com
mcrce. Business Mems Association, Wom-
ems Club. College Women's Club. Union
Presbyterian Church, Young Mems Re-
publican Club. and the W. c. Il. T., TO
get Prof. Freeman reinstated.
Hailed with Delight.
After concerted action they finally sue
ceeded in having their demands for the
resignation of the members Of the board
hostile to Prof. Freeman needed. and
those members quit their places. AS
soon as the new members took their
places they proceeded to reinstate Prof.
Freeman, and the victory is one that has
been hailed with delight by educational
workers everywhere, because of the in
dication that the people are inclined TO d.
vorce the public school system from pol
itics.
Prof. Freeman will be I'm Washington
before the beginning Of the fall school
term, and It is possible a reception win
be arranged by his former c0-workeTs in
the Washington schools.
