Captain Oysters Comments.

Captain Oyster said this morning;
In view Of the petition of the teach
ers and the report Of the subcommittee
from the Board of Trade recommend
ing that any change in school admins
tration is inexpedient at the present
time. it seems that Congress would
hesitate before attempting TO make any
radical change. It seems TO me that
the law and the board should have a
fair trial and that school conditions
should be allowed to quiet themselves"
It is understood that the report Of
the Board Of Trades suoschool commit
tee will be Endorsed fully by that body
at it's regular meeting tonight. Cap
tain Oyster said this morning that it
was his understanding that the Cham
Der of Commerce might also appoint an
investigating committee TO report on To-
cal school conditions.
1t is the purpose of both the teachers
and the Board OF Trade 10 submit their
respective recommendations TO the SEN
ate and House committees, before the
consideration of the various school bills
