when Mr.. Christian again forgot
his calling down and got into
heated argument with MIR. Jacoby.
Mr.. Jacoby advocated the idea that
a superintendent of the schools
should be member of the faculty
of the High School.
tDoes the superintendent of the
schools in New York city teach
in the High sohool?" asked Mr..
Christian.
''He does notO' said Mr.. Jacoby.
as there any difference between
this and New York city?'' asked
Mr.. Christian.
There is good Bit" said ia
coby.
"Not a Bit" said Christian. "Not
"a bit"
Arguing that Frank does not in
spire pupils to go through higher
institutions of learning, Mr. Jacoby
made the statement that less than
twenty five per cent of the grad
where higher courses are in order
toward the finishing of the educa-
ton which is merely started here
in the High school "Why Is it?"
asked Jacoby.
"Because they have 10 pay out
all their money for taxes" said
George B. Christian.
"Not bit of it, replied Jacoby
with force. If the graduates here
had the right kind of inspiration
they would all be going off TO fin
ish their school work. If they
haven't money they can go through
as | did by moving lawns, raking
leaves on the campus and splitting
trails. They would do 1t If they had
the will whether they had the mon
Iey or not.
| Can Mr. Frank give them the
lwill?" asked Mr.. Dickerson. MIR.
Jacoby replied that he could in
large measure.
In the course of the argument
| Mf. DlckerSOn said.
"If all the boys would go down
to Delaware like you did there
wouldn't be enough rails to split.
wittily said Member Dickerson.
At this point Mr. Jacoby closed
his defense and Mr.. Christian re-
marked "You can never carry out
those ideas, young man."
| Mir. Dickerson took the floor
and in number of remarks on
the reasons of Mr.. Jacoby, defend
ed Mr.. Prank. Practically every
reason of Mr. Jacoby against Mr..
Frank was refuted lie discussed
the pesimism of MIR. JaJcoby saying
that at no time had he made n
single statement in favor of Mr..
Franks work in the schools Mr..
Dickerson said that the graduates
lof the Marion High school are at
present either in some of the best
colleges in the land or are in busl-
mss and all making good.
| In speaking of Mr.. Jacoby's OBJ
lection to Frank on the grounds
of the failure of pupil to name
six United States senators of the
Ipresent, Mr.. Dickerson said that
the matter was extremely trivial
land unworthy of consideration. Mr.
Dickinson also believed that min
lety-five per cent of the patrons of
the schools are in favor of Franks
reelection.
The arraignment of Frank, ow-
ing to the charge that he had fall
ed to make recommendation to the
board for supplies came up for its
share of consideration. This ar
raignment is wrong" said Mr.. Dick
erson, II is the fault of the board
that supplies we're not given to the
schools. Many time has Mr..
Frank asked for supplies and been
laughed down"
Mr.. Dickerson defended the COM
mercial course In the High school.
We didn't adopt the commercial
department to put out the best kind
lof students in stenography,' said
Dickerson. We wanted TO hold the
boys in the school and that was the
lonly method whereby we could do
