What Superintendent Chancellor thinks
should be done to improve the present
school law and bring about better pub
lie school system in the District Is en-
bodied In vuluminouS communication
from the superintendent to a special COM
mttee for considering proposed amend
ments to the Jaw, made up of five men,
bers of the board Of education, three of
whom were present in the Franklin
School yesterday afternoon when the
communication was received.
The members of the committee are Mrs.
Ellen Spencer Mussay. chairman; Capt.
James +. Oyster W. V. Cox. w. Il.
We're Mrs. Mussey. Mr. Cox and Mr.. Cook.
Mr. Hoover detained by an important
business engagement
The committed which has already given
hearings To public school teachers in the
effort to learn their views on the ques-
ton of revision of the law. had invited
the superintendent to present his views
also. They were merely received yester-
day and briefly discussed No action was
taken by the committee either approving
or disappearing of them. They are to go
into the mill with the other suggestions
and be digeSted by the committee for
presentation to the board, which will then
take final action in the matter.
Portions of the communication of the
superintendent were commented upon ia
vorably by Mrs. Mussey and the Otner
members of the committee, and here and
there weak places were pointed out.

Expresses His Views.

In his Introduction DR. Chancellor says:
In this communication l confine myself
strictly to two topics that seem INSOFAR
ably allied. namely. those Of educational
positions and educational salaries. In the
actual operation of this law 1 have found
Inconsistencies and contradictions that
would schedule scarcely less than fifty In
number, but 1t seems to me that If l con-
fine myself strictly to those features of
the law that deter educational progress
here l shall thereby render the District
greater service than If I attempt to cover
the entire ground. A proper organic
school law Is an historical evolution and
l question whether it will be possible to
compose a fundamental law at a stroke
that would be satisfactory in every re-
spect.'
The superintendent then says the most
important defect in the present school
law is the omission of any provision for
the penSoning OF teachers, but as he
understands the board has already pre-
pared a pension bill he will omit any con
sideration of this matter
In the preparation of a scheme for the
Improvement of the educational work of
the school system he continues, II have
considered two things - first the present
situation. and second. what would be rela-
lively an ideal situation: and l have pro-
posed plan that seems to me to be at
once progressive and yet not revolution

Salary Advances.

Upon the written recommendation of the
superintendent of schools and the certifi-
cate of the board of examiners, teacher
appointed by the board of education may
be rated for an advance in salary upon
the schedule not to exceed one-half of
the experience elsewhere or in all four
years allowance. Upon the written rec
concentration Of the superintendent in the
ease of educational clerks. and of the
secretary of the board in the case of all
other clerks a librarian or clerk may be
allowed an advance upon the salary
schedule not to exceed one-half of the ex-
oerence elsewhere. four years of total

Excessive Supervision.

Zone of the criticisms / have sought to
meet successfully is that the supervision
of the District Of Columbia is excessive In
quantity. wrongly located and deficient in
quality. This means that there are too
many supervisors, that they supervise on
points which do not require supervision
and omit supervision where 1t Is required,
and that the quality of their supervision is
not such as is deserved by the teaching
corps of the district.
Il scarcely need to say that there are
many excellent features in the present
school law, and that l am endeavorng in
this recommendation to preserve and ac-
centuate these good features
In my Judgment most important fea-
ture of this recommendation is the repeal
of the passage of the law which gives the
entire decision of the promotion of teach
ers into the hands of single supervising
officer. / ask you to note that according
to my plan such decision to whether a
eacher shall be disturbed in salary or in
position IS vested first in board of su-
perintendents and second in a board of
lIurdtt1n -

today, Mrs. Mussey said there were many
good points in 1t and a few weak places
in her opinion. The committee, she said,
will give it due consideration.
Mr.. Cox said this afternoon that the
plan was scientifically presented, and on
the whole 1t looked workable.
Capt. Oyster said he had not had time
to read it through.
