The present system has not as yet

Ohio Superintendent Says
Board of Education Never
Had Fair Showing,
Admits Peculiar Conditions
in District, But Says Com
missioner Not Solution.

"WashirgtCu's present school system
has never been given a fair trial. Diff
ferences and disseuslous have preCluied
the possibility OF its being given a just
and impartial showing. no school sys-
tenn can be perfected in a year and a
half, ard it seems 10 me that the pres
ent regime should be tested thoroughly
before being wiped out"
This was the manner in which w II.
EIson. superintendent Of the public
schools of Cleveland, Ohio, and the
newIy-elected president of the National
Education Society. commended the
present school system of washington
and disapproved the idea of a single
education commissioner, as suggested
in the DoIliver bill
Education Boards Tried.
Mr.. EIson said the system of school
government supervised by a board Of
education had been tried throughout
the United States and had always been
found satisfactory.
While he admitted that conditions
were slightly unusual in Washington
he averred that there was not sufficient
differences in the form Of government
IN this city To warrant such changes
as the Deliver bill contemplates.
1T has been a universal experience,
said he, that the board Of education
is nearer the ideal form of school SUI
pervision than any other arrangement.
Give Best Service.
In the hrst place the men selected
to serve on the boara are all citizens
Of the town in which they are chosen
and are consequently anxious TO serve
their fellow-citizens to the best possible
advantage, Then, the fact that the
board is made up of more than one
man makes it ultraconservative and
consequently not liable TO take any un-
wise steps. Nine men, or seven men, or
FIVE men viii take their time in decid-
ing whether they viii adopt a new
course in study where one man viii
act with haste and repent at leisure
Concerning the one man power, Mr..
ElsOn declared that such an arrange
ment had always been found unWisa
1T is necessary he said, ito have
more than one man in order TO pre-
vent a constant making OF mistakes.
Two heads are wiser than one
The new executive deplOred the lack
OF power given the Board of Educa-
ton, which is so noticeable in the local
school system.

Too much power cannot be given to

DOLLIYER BILL
HAS SLIM SHOW
Strong Opposition May Side
track School
Measure.
Senate Rule Defers Action
for a Long Period
of Time.

Chances for the DOlliVer school bill
are getting simmer and simmer in the
Senate. The friends of the measure are
beginning 10 feel discouraged over the
prospects for passage of the bin, In view
OF the repeated and successful efforts
10 prevent its consideration.
On the other hand the opponents OF
the bill, who at first were fearful that
the proposed legislation would be
rushed through, have taken heart at
the success they have had thus far, and
feel that the outlook for the defeat OF
the Dolliver plan is daily growing bet
ter
Strong and influential Senators have
been led to oppose the Dolliver bill
one after another, Senators Kean, Mel
SON and Burrows have taken a stand
against it, They have support among
their colleagues that has not yet mani
tested itself, and the situation is such
now that even IL Senator Burkett sue
ceeds in forcing a vote on the bill, IL
is not certain what will be the out
come.
Recruits to Opposition.
The opponents OF the bill realize the
importance OF the delay. They under
stand, OF course. that Senator Burkett
will doubtless ultimately force consid-
Grafton of the bill But the effect OF
preventing hasty passage of the Dolliver
measure has been to lead many Senators
TO consider 1t more thoroughly than
they would have beer1 able to had the
advocates Of the bill had their way.
The doubtful wisdom OF turning over
70 the Commissioner OF Education the
power of appointing and removing the
head of the schools Of Washington has
impressed itself more and more on Sen
ators who have given vne subject at
tention. The feeling has grown that
something like local control over the
schools should be preserved
The plan TO give the Commissioners
the power TO name the director of edu-
cation finds favor among some Senators
who want change made IN the present
system. but are not willing 20 go so far
as the Dolliver proposition
Senate Observes Rule.
Until yesterday. consideration OF the
bill was prevented simply by objection
and the refusal OF unanimous consent TO
consider it. Yesterday. when Senator
Burkett brought the bill up and moved
that It be considered, Senator Nelson
raised a point of order against it, saying
Allo ulll " d1 OAA AAAC AtAaNAAAse-A eN4tN% NNt'A
be taken up only by unanimous con-
sent.
The Vice President sustained the point
Of order. This leaves the bill on the
calendar under rule 9, and indications
are IL will be considerable time before
II can be reached in regular order The
bill IS at the bottom OF the list under
rule and ahead OF It is large number
OF bills under rule S that are not OBJ
jeCted 10.
The Washington times., 1908-02-28

Cleveland our board Of education is
entirely independent Of the civic govern
ment and acts entirely on its own in
itiative.
1T is a mistake TO have a board Of
education entirely subordinate TO a civic
body A board Of education should have
absolute power in educational matters
IL should select the teachers and prin-
oipals, buy the books and erect the
buildings for the school IL should be
the authority and all other bodies con-
Cerned I'm educational matters should
be subordinate TO il.
There Is no reason" he continued
why such a board of education could
not be established in this city. True
the conditions are different here. as the
District Of Columbia is a Territory. but
after all, il makes but little difference

Bradley's election was not insured

Pandemonium broke loose when it
